Love Island finalists Yasmin Pettet and Jamie Rhodes have confirmed they have split in a new statement on Instagram and TikTok on Monday.
The couple, who came in third place on the ITV dating show, shared with fans that they have broken up in two separate statements denying claims Yasmin cheated.
Days earlier, Yasmin and Jamie walked the red carpet at London’s O2 Arena together for the National Television Awards 2025.
However it was reported that Yasmin was later said to be seen ‘getting cosy’ with Traitors star Freddie Fraser at the star-studded bash.
Sharing a message on a black background, Yas penned: ‘As per my recent TikTok myself and Jamie split before the NTAs but hadn’t formally announced it yet.
‘We’re still really good friends and I’ll always have so much love and care for him for making my Love Island experience what it was.

‘I find it laughable that everyone thinks I cheated on Jamie with Freddie from the Traitors which is not true and anyone who knows me knows my type is late 20s, 30s plus.’
She added. ‘Jamie is literally the most amazing man ever and I’m forever grateful for the memories we made and time we spent together.’
Meanwhile Jamie confirmed Yasmin ‘did not cheat on him’ as the pair attended the NTA’s as just friends.
He wrote: ‘There has been a lot of speculation over the past few days about what happened at the NTA’s.
‘I wasn’t desperately trying to find Yas after the NTA’s I was trying to hitch a ride back to my hotel with Cach and Toni and when asked where Yas was and I said she f***ed off. This is what I say every time I’m with company and they leave, it’s strong set in my vocabulary.
‘It was also said that I was fuming at the party after the NTA’s when it was the complete opposite actually, it was a great night!
‘Yas and I have decided to move away from getting to know each other romantically to just being friends. It was very amicable manner and before the NTA’s.
‘Yasmin did not cheat on me nor was we in a relationship we both have big love for one another and want the best for each of us.
The former couple also shared their statements in separate TikTok videos explaining Yasmin had not cheated and they have gone their separate ways

‘I hope this clears any speculation and puts any rumours to bed and thank you once again to everyone who supported me and Yasmin inside and outside the villa’.
The former couple also shared their statements in separate TikTok videos explaining Yasmin had not cheated and they have gone their separate ways.
Just a few weeks ago, Yasmin said she felt ‘really bonded’ to Jamie and there had been ‘no rush to be intimate.’
However, it was reported last week that Yasmin was seen ‘holding hands’ with Freddie at the NTA’s.
Freddie, 20, appeared on the iconic BBC show earlier this year, and quickly won an army of fans as the heartthrob of the series.
One attendee told The Sun: ‘Yasmin and Jamie weren’t together at the party a lot at all, compared to Harry and Shakira and Cach and Toni, who were glued to each other’s sides.’
They added: ‘Then I saw her holding hands with Freddie and pulling him away. She said, “We need to go somewhere private, no one can see.”‘
Daily Mail contacted Yasmin’s representative for comment.
Last week, Daily Mail exclusively revealed Yas was set to follow in the footsteps of fashion icons Kate Moss and Cara Delevingne by signing with an elite management company, the Daily Mail can reveal.
The ITV2 show is no stranger to churning out household names, with many going on to carve out careers as influencers or reality TV stars.
But in a historic first for the series, Yasmin is set to capitalise on the posture that made her a social media favourite, by signing with the well-respected fashion agency Storm Management.
The company has boasted names such as Carla Bruni, Cindy Crawford, Alexa Chung and Emma Watson as clients, and its founder Sarah Doukas is responsible for launching Kate Moss’s career after spotting her at an airport when she was just 14.
ITV have already hinted there are huge plans to cash in on the success of this year’s series, lining up this year’s finalists, including Shakira Khan and winner Toni Laites, to appear on more shows, or land big-money fashion deals.
Yasmin is the first Love Island star in its history to sign with Storm Management, and she excitedly shared her hopes of launching her fashion career after finishing in third place in the villa.

Speaking about her exciting career move she said: ‘I’ve always loved high fashion, and everything bold and unique. That’s why signing with Storm feels like the perfect synergy for me.
‘Not only are they the crème de la crème of the fashion world, but they are a 360 management company, with the expertise to create opportunities for me to explore many different avenues of my career, whilst retaining my individuality.
‘From TV projects and advertising, branding and licensing – as well as the most prestigious editorial and fashion collaborations, I am excited to be starting my next chapter with the team at Storm.’
Storm’s founder Sarah also told the Daily Mail: ‘We are very excited to be formally representing Yasmin.
‘Her style, charisma and personality really stood out on this year’s Love Island. At Storm, we have always broken the mould with our choice of talent, and the incredible reception to the show this year—alongside attention from iconic publications such as i-D—really caught our eye.
‘Yasmin’s personal style is edgy and perfectly aligned with where fashion sits right now. We are already working with the likes of Marc Jacobs on her, and we see a very bright future across fashion, beauty, branding and licensing—beyond the trajectory often associated with similar talent.
‘For us, it’s thrilling to embrace pop culture in the wonderfully eclectic and inclusive world we work in.’
