Kaz and Tyler were together for four months after meeting on Love Island series seven, breaking up in December 2021 after trying to adjust to life together having been in the spotlight all summer.

In a YouTube vide posted a few months after their split, Kaz spoke more about what happened with Tyler, saying she ‘learned so much’ from their breakup.

She recalled: "At the end of the day some relationships work, and some don’t and this one just didn’t. I was never faking it, I never acted up online for it, I was very much myself and I was how I would be in any other relationship, so I gave my 100 per cent and I don’t think I was fully appreciated but that’s just life. I was very naïve."
