'Love Island' champs Josh Oyinsan and Mimii Ngulube have officially ended their brief romance. The couple, who captured hearts and votes on the 11th season of ITV2's hit show ' Love Island ', have split just two months post-victory. The pair initially coupled up in Casa Amor on Day 40 and emerged as winners by summer's end.

Their separation came to light following a heartfelt Instagram Story from Mimii, which read: "Hi everyone, I know that a lot of you have been wondering about Josh and I and why we haven't been making appearances. The truth is we have been trying to figure it out since leaving the villa, but unfortunately, things aren't going to work out between us right now."

She continued, acknowledging her supporters: "I know it's a big disappointment for a lot of you as it is for me too, your support for us hasn't gone unnoticed and I will forever be grateful for it, you guys are the reason we made it to this point. God bless you all."
