The reports that they will tonight reveal that they are leaving the show after ending their seven-week romance on Thursday.
The decision comes just ahead of the show's big finale on Monday, which they had long been expected to win until their relationship went off the rails.
A source told the website: "It was a really tough decision for the couple to make, but it felt like the right thing to do.
"They'd given it their all on camera and wanted to let their friends in other couples have a chance at winning."
The insider added: "It's not 100 per cent over for Jake and Liberty, there are still a lot of feelings involved, so who knows what will happen in the future."
A rep for Love Island called that news that Liberty had quit "speculation" saying all would be revealed on the show tonight.

"I'm not saying Jake isn't a genuine guy but he's just not right for me."
She later told him: "I feel like I can't do anything, I am messy, I do wear big heels, I do wear big eyelashes, I do wear red lipstick, and I don't feel like I can do that in here.
"I just want to be with someone who loves me for me, the big heels, eyelashes, everything."
Jake was left struggling for words but insisted: "I've never said I wanted you to change" protesting: "You see things differently to how I see things."
