Love Island 2026 star Aidan Murphy has addressed whether he’d return to the villa for All Stars, following his split from Priya Jaswal earlier this week.<\/p>\n

Aidan had quite the journey on the Love Island<\/a> this summer, but never quite found his perfect match, until he and Priya decided to make a go of things romantically.<\/p>\n

Despite plenty of Islanders dismissing their romance, the pair tried their friends to lovers arc, but sadly it didn’t last very long outside of the villa walls.<\/p>\n

In a joint statement shared on Instagram, the pair said they realised they were “better suited as friends” and will “always be grateful for the time we’ve spent together”.<\/p>\n

Aidan wished Priya the best, writing: “I have nothing but love and respect for Priya and wish her nothing but the very best for everything that’s to come.”<\/p>\n

Following their statement, Aidan attended the National Television Awards<\/a> and spoke to Radio Times<\/a> about their split, admitting there wasn’t “much to say”.<\/p>\n

“Being in the villa and outside the villa are two very different things. Being in the villa is almost like a little bubble and coming out, obviously being in the public, families and stuff like that, we were very much trying to navigate that,” he said.<\/p>\n

“We were gonna give it a go [but] more recently we were kind of understanding that maybe this is just friends and maybe we should kind of leave it at that.”<\/p>\n

He continued: “But we gave it a shot, and that’s all we can do. But I love Priya. I think she’s great, and I wish her nothing but the best.”<\/p>\n

Priya shared a similar sentiment, telling Radio Times: “I think with me and Aidan, we’re on such good terms still.<\/p>\n

“We had such lovely memories inside and outside of the villa, and it just felt like if it wasn’t gonna progress into a relationship, then it’s better to just call it a day in terms of the dating side, and continue being friends and having the love for each other that we did.”<\/p>\n

Now officially single, the question was posed to Aidan whether we could see him on All Stars next year, to which he said: “I have declined for now because I wanna keep you lot on your toes!<\/p>\n

“\u200aMaybe yes, maybe no! I don’t know yet.”<\/p>\n
