Love Island winner Mimii Ngulube and one of her co-stars are believed to have ‘snubbed’ each other recently, with the apparent tension attracting attention just days after the final.
The latest series of the ITV2 show, which airs on Virgin Media in Ireland, concluded on Monday night with its final, which saw Mimii, 24, and Josh Oyinsan, 29, named as the winners. They had been coupled up for more than two weeks, having met shortly after Casa Amor.
Mimii had previously pursued a romance with Ayo Odukoya, 25. Some fans had suspected that they would reunite even after parting ways, though Mimii won beside Josh instead, whilst Ayo reached the final alongside Jess Spencer, 25.
It was recently noticed that Mimii and Ayo weren’t following each other on Instagram, despite reports that the pair had been doing so previously. Mimii and Jess are following each other though, and it’s the same situation for Ayo and Josh. Ayo is now following Mimii on the platform though, but Mimii isn’t following him back at the time of writing.
The Sun reported on Wednesday that just days after leaving the vill, Ayo has unfollowed Mimii and she’s done the same. The outlet reports that they were following each other in the “immediate aftermath” of the show, but are no longer doing so, adding that they now have their phones back with access to social media.
Although some fans have suggested that Ayo didn’t follow Mimii in the first place, despite following the other six finalists, others have stated that the pair had been following each other. One person wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter : “He followed Mimii first and Mimii followed back. He unfollowed her yesterday and Mimii returned the favour.”
Another said: “Mimii unfollowed Ayo. The world is right again.” Someone else commented: “Ayo followed Mimii then unfollowed Mimii.” One person however said: “Ayo followed everyone on IG EXCEPT Mimii what’s his deal.”
Although the circumstances around such decisions aren’t clear, Mimii is not following Ayo on Instagram at the time of writing. They are both following the other six finalists from their series of Love Island, and Ayo currently follows Mimii.
Mimii and Josh were crowned the latest winners of Love Island by host Maya Jama during the final, which aired on Monday night. Nicole Samuel, 24, and Ciaran Davies, 21, were the runner-up couple. Sean Stone and Matilda Draper, both 24, placed third, whilst Ayo and Jess came fourth.
Following the final, Mimii took to her Instagram Story on Tuesday. Alongside a photo of herself and Josh, she wrote in the message for her fans: “Thank you all so much for the support and love. The feeling is indescribable.” Josh subsequently shared Mimii’s post on his own account.
Whilst fellow finalist Jess wrote alongside a photo of herself and Ayo in a post: “Thank you soooooo much for all the love and support. The craziest and most fun experience of my entire life.” Ayo went on to share it on his account this week too.
