Despite the couple putting on a strong front, their relationship recently hit headlines after TikTok star Max Baledge alleged that the couple’s relationship was “not real”.

On The Useless Hotline Podcast, Max made claims that one Love Island 2022 couple was faking their relationship.

The TikTok star said: "There’s one relationship specifically that’s very prominent in the UK media right now that I happen to know is definitely not real. I met the person who’s in it and they were quite nice to me, but they definitely said something that would indicate they are 100 per cent not in a relationship with said person.

"When you meet someone and within the first hour they say to you, ‘find me a small brunette with a tight p***y I can throw around’, and you know they’re supposedly in a very public relationship? I then met the other person who’s part of that allegedly fake relationship, and said, ‘I was just with suchabody and they were so complimentary of you’ and they go, ‘really?’ As if to be like, ‘we’re not actually together, that shocks me a little bit’.

"And then I met this person with the long hair and the boobs. They were really lovely and I felt, for whatever reason, pressure to tell them that their counterpart had just been saying really nice things about them when they didn’t actually mention them at all. But ever since then, I’d really clocked onto it, because if you go for a run and paparazzi are there, that’s staged."

It was not long until Ekin-Su addressed allegations with a tweet which has since been deleted that read: "Oh f**k off Max. Trying to stay relevant by associating with us. Don’t even know who you are mate. P*** off with your sad TikTok life."
