Love Island’s Ayo Finally Addresses the Buzz Around His Secret Girlfriend Rumors—Is There More to the Story?
Ayo Odukoya, one of the standout contestants from Love Island 2024, has finally broken his silence on the swirling rumors that he had a secret girlfriend while in the villa. The drama began when a TikTok video went viral, allegedly exposing Ayo for having a girlfriend throughout his time on the show. The video, posted by a friend of the supposed girlfriend, claimed that Ayo had told his partner he was going on holiday with his brother, only to appear on Love Island and finish in fourth place.
The TikTok video sparked a frenzy among fans and followers, with many speculating about the validity of the claims. The friend who posted the video suggested that the girlfriend was initially too hurt to speak out but had decided to share her story weeks after the show ended. The comments section exploded with theories and demands for proof, but the video poster, while insisting she had “lots of proof,” failed to provide any evidence to back up the claims.
In an interview with Closer, Ayo finally addressed the rumors head-on, dismissing them as completely unfounded. “I don’t have a girlfriend. I didn’t have a girlfriend when I was in the villa, before, or after. Not yet, I should say,” he clarified. Turning to his current love interest, Jess, he added, “This will be my girlfriend. I don’t have a girl. This is my girl.” Ayo’s straightforward response left little room for doubt, and he made it clear that the rumors were nothing more than baseless gossip.
Ayo admitted that he had seen the TikTok video and had a good laugh over it. “It’s a laugh. I got sent it and I was creasing,” he said, brushing off the claims as ridiculous. He didn’t hold back his feelings about the girls behind the video, calling them “clout chasers” and expressing his frustration with the situation. “It’s f**king boring,” he added, making it clear that he had no time for such rumors.
Jess, who has been by Ayo’s side since their time in the villa, also weighed in on the situation. When asked about her reaction to the rumor, she remained unfazed, saying, “I think people want me to be riled up as well and it’s just like, what do you want me to do? I had a past as well before I went in the villa. I was seeing people before I went in the villa. It is what it is.” Her cool response showed that she wasn’t about to let the gossip get to her, and she seemed confident in her relationship with Ayo.
With Ayo’s firm denial and Jess’s supportive stance, it seems that the rumors of a secret girlfriend are nothing more than idle chatter. The couple is focused on their future together, leaving the drama of the past behind. As for the girls behind the TikTok video, it appears their attempt to stir the pot has fallen flat, with Ayo and Jess moving forward without letting the rumors affect them.
In the world of reality TV, where gossip and speculation run rampant, Ayo and Jess’s handling of the situation serves as a reminder that not all rumors deserve attention. The couple is proving that they’re stronger than any outside noise, and fans are excited to see where their relationship goes next.
