Love Island All Stars’ Whitney opens up about Lochan romance with savage swipe after bitter legal battle

LOVE Island All Stars’ Whitney Adebayo has spoken about her romance with ex Lochan Nowacki for the first time, seemingly taking a swipe at him.

The reality stars met on Love Island in 2023 but split last year, with the break-up ending in a very public row between them.

Finally referencing their romance, Whitney admitted to her partner Yamen Sanders that she was worried this time around on the show wouldn’t top her time with Lochan.

As the pair enjoyed a date outside of the villa, Yamen said he was hopeful he would find someone before entering the show.

But Whitney admitted: “I wasn’t hopeful.

“Last time I came in here, I obviously left with a long-term relationship. So, I didn’t think something could top that last experience.”

Seemingly taking a swipe at Lochan, she added: “But I feel like it has been topped.”

Since entering the villa for a second time, Whitney has had romances with Jack Keating, Konnor Edwuzi and US bombshell Yamen.

The star’s search for love comes after a very rocky year, which saw her and Lochan embroiled in a public spat – with things even taking a legal turn.

Reaching the final with Lochan on the show, the pair were together for almost two years before splitting in April 2025.

Things then turned sour later in the year when Whitney and Lochan, 27, respectively spoke out about the factors that caused their split on TikTok, with Whitney alleging Lochan had called her skin “dirty”.

Lochan then claimed this was defamatory to his character and took legal action, with the former couple heading for a High Court showdown. 

They then settled things quietly before it reached the legal boiling point.

At the end of last year, a source told The Sun: “Lochan and Whitney have quietly ended their dispute and are moving on.

“Both of them instructed legal teams and, what came to pass, was that this was going to end up as a very ugly, and very expensive, row.

“People who know both Lochan and Whitney have said the dispute has now been ended and that they’re just moving on with their lives.”
