Whitney Adebayo and Lochan Nowacki met on Love Island in 2023, with the pair placing as runners up and embarking on a rocky love story.
And now Whitney has seemingly shared the real reason behind the couple's split.
"Some people don't wanna compromise," she said, hinting at the reason behind her split from Lochan.
"Because my last relationship...." Whitney then trailed off before announcing she was "getting into it".
She then explained that when he "came over" he told her how much she had changed.
Whitney recalled how he said: "I've seen how much you've changed, and you're becoming like the woman that we always spoke about you becoming.
"And I'm just not willing to do that."
Josh, Whitney's friend who stood in for podcast co-host Lizzy, then said how he feels that some men "don't like seeing the other partner grow".
Whitney then admitted: "I was bamboozled. This is the person that you told me you wanted."
She then spoke to listeners and said how she hadn't "changed for a man" but instead changed how she spoke to him.

Josh then chimed in and explained how he had noticed how Whitney had "calmed down" a lot when in confrontational situations, such as past arguments with her ex.
Whitney admitted that she was "very hot-headed" in her relationship, adding how "with time I understood the power of less is more".
She then praised her ex and said: "He actually did calm me down and help me tame my emotions."
"He taught me silence," she added.
Love Island - Whitney and Lochan Love Story
THE duo found love on-screen in 2023 - yet what's the lowdown?
Beauty mogul Whitney entered the villa on Day 3, and experienced highs and lows on the hit ITV2 reality show, stealing contestant Andre Furtado, 22, the same day she entered into the villa.
She coupled up with Mehdi Edno, 26, on Day 5, and in a surprising turn of events, she took personal trainer Zachariah Noble, 26, out on a date but their chemistry would soon fizzle out.
Her luck changed in Week 5, when Windsor-born Lochan entered Cara Amor on Day 26. On Day 31, Whitney chose to couple up with Lochan.
The show favourites lost out on the winning spot to Jess Harding, 23, and Sammy Root, 23 on the show finale on Day 58.
She recently told how the pair were planning to move in together.
Yet in July 2024, eyebrows were raised after the pair unfollowed each other on social media then attended an event together - leaving some fans calling out a "publicity stunt."
Just mere weeks before the couple's split they seemed all loved up when Whitney shared a sweet video to mark her now-ex-boyfriend's birthday.
They also seemed stronger than ever when Whitney shared a video on TikTok revealing why she and Lochan were still together and other couples were not.
Taking to the video-sharing platform, Whitney shared a video where she penned a message over the top of it.
"POV: Most Love Island couples live with their partner and you decided to move our by yourself," she wrote.
The video was shared on February 25, and captioned with: "Never fell victim of proving my love onlineee."
Just days after Whitney's split from Lochan, fans reshared the video and claimed that she "jinxed" their relationship.
Sharing the TikTok video in a Love Island Reddit forum, the user penned: "She jinxed it!
"And ppl in the comments of her Tiktok at the time were saying 'thats why you two are going to last'. Anyway, good luck to both of them!"
Someone then commented: "Never fell victim of proving my love online - she should've gloated less tbh."

Good Night, Oscar is a Tony Award winner, but nobody this side of the Atlantic will care
Who is Oscar Levant? On myriad levels, this is the question both we and Doug Wright's play, coming to London after a Tony Award-winning run on Broadway, need to ask. Levant, as a minor character here so handily recaps, was a film actor and pianist, most notably in An American in Paris; in addition to this, he was a prized wit and raconteur, famed for his one-liners, just like another Oscar, Wilde. Levant also struggled with serious mental health issues and addiction to prescription pills which he talked about openly, if superficially. Yet we leave this 100-minute play no wiser as to the real man behind this troubled facade. Although we understand that Wright has serious points to make about the shifting morality of what is served up in the name of ratings and entertainment, we cannot help but feel a little bit grubby. The year is 1958 and Oscar (Sean Hayes) has been booked to star on the live late-night NBC chat show hosted by Jack Paar (Ben Rappaport). It's important to note that American pop cultural references abound, which makes the piece a tricky proposition this side of the Atlantic. Come almost start time there's still no sign of the man himself; Wright provides a good 15 minutes of anticipation building before Oscar appears. It transpires that Oscar's wife June (Rosalie Craig) has had him committed to a psychiatric institution but has fraudulently wangled an exeat for him for this recording, believing that the adoration of the public will prove beneficial. For his part, the crafty Paar knows that Oscar's mental instability will lead to firecracker television. Oscar has proved a career-changing role for Hayes, best known for his role as the flamboyant Jack on the long-running sitcom Will and Grace. Hayes won the Tony for Best Actor for his work and, accomplished though Oscar's slurred drawl and twitches are, it's a performance that lacks any sense of interiority. We must wait until right at the end of Lisa Peterson's production to witness Hayes in true virtuoso mode, as he sits down at a Steinway and reveals himself to be a dazzlingly accomplished pianist who blazes through a seven-minute segment of George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue. At this point, it's easy to think that we are in the Barbican Concert Hall rather than Theatre. All the same, I don't think that theatre awards should be given out for piano playing. Wright affords a similar lack of emotional depth to the stoic June, herself once a promising film actress and Craig, brisk and business-like, does what she can with a limited part. Elsewhere, it's all carelessly unsupervised pots of pills and characters telling each other things they surely already know. I cannot say that I was sorry to bid goodnight to Oscar and his colleagues.

MrBeast's wildest videos amid ‘real-life Hunger Games' idea
MrBeast has floated the idea of doing a 'real life' version of Hunger Games - without the killing, of course. The YouTube megastar is known for his extremely wild stunts in his videos. He shot to mainstream success after he released his $426,000 Squid Game in Real Life back in November 2021. Costing a reported $3m to make, the video has passed 800 million views on YouTube as of August 2025. But MrBeast might not yet be done with remakes of dystopian death games. In an appearance on The Today Show over in the US, he was asked about his idea for a real life version of the Hunger Games. Jennifer Lawrence starred in the movie adaptations in the 2010s, while another prequel film is due to arrive in 2026: Sunrise on the Reaping. The books and films feature teenagers forced to compete in brutal death matches, for the entertainment of the rich in the capitol. MrBeast told Today Show his version would 'not use real weapons' and involve dropping 26 people on an island, with the last one standing winning $1m. He pitched using 'laser tag' instead of actually killing the contestants, like in the original novels. It comes after his own reality show Beast Games came to an end earlier this year and crowned its first winner. Find out more about that here. Now he is talking about doing his own version of Hunger Games, I thought I would take a look at some of MrBeast's wildest and most extreme video ideas so far. Are your kids fans of MrBeast and his YouTube channel? Let me know what you think of his videos by email: . If you love TV, check out our Screen Babble podcast to get the latest in TV and film. 1 . $456,000 Squid Game in Real Life Even if you hadn't heard of MrBeast before 2021, you definitely heard about his remake of Squid Game at the time. He got real people to compete in a non-lethal version of the Netflix hit. It featured games like Red Light, Green Light, Dalgona and musical chairs. |for Netflix Photo:for Netflix Photo Sales 2 . I Built Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory MrBeast, who now is a chocolate-maker of his own with his Feastibles brand, has in the past recreated Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory in real-life. 10 players had the chance to walk away with the factory at the end of the video, as was the prize in the original book/ film. |for Netflix Photo:for Netflix Photo Sales 3 . I Paid A Real Assassin To Try To Kill Me For $100,000 Have you ever imagined what it would be like to be hunted by a real-life assassin? Well, MrBeast has had that experience. A 'real assassin' had a day to try and stab the YouTube star with a rubber knife to win $100,000. |Photo:Photo Sales 4 . Survive 100 Days Trapped In A Private Jet, Keep It One of the more recent efforts from MrBeast, this video came out in mid-July. He tasked a pilot with staying in a luxurious private jet for 100 days, with the carrot that if he accomplished it, he would get to keep the jet. Not sure I would be able to manage that. | Alberto E.
