Real reason behind Callum and Molly’s heartbreaking split – as they reunite on Love Island All Stars
LOVE Island All Stars’ fan theories that Molly Smith and Callum Jones faked their break up to appear on the show have been debunked.
The former couple have said they split six months ago but viewers think the timing is too convenient.
The pair returned as bombshells at the end of Monday night’s launch show, with Callum, 27, challenged as to whether he wanted to steal another Islander’s girl or couple up with his ex.
Molly, 29, looked devastated and The Sun can now reveal the real reason behind their break up after three years together.
A source close to Molly told The Sun: “It all began when Molly started to say to Callum that she thought they should look at buying a house together instead of continuing to rent.
“She just thought they were wasting money so it made financial sense.

“Obviously as far as she was concerned they were pretty solid - they had two dogs after all - so didn’t see it as a big deal.
“But Callum totally freaked out.
“The idea of that next level of commitment sent it all sideways and was the catalyst for lots of rows.
“He totally changed after that and became really cold. That was the beginning of the end.”

The couple have been accused of faking the shocking scenes where Molly strutted into the villa seconds after Callum.
The friend added: “Frankly neither Molly or Callum are anywhere near good enough actors to have pulled that off - it was a very real, very raw break up and she is still very hurt by it.
“Genuinely she had no idea he was going to be there and will have been properly gutted to walk in and him be there.
“Basically with Molly coming up to her 30th birthday, things naturally started to feel more serious and she wanted to start looking at the next logical steps in their relationship.
“It’s not exactly demanding to have expected Callum to be on the same page given they lived together and owned two dogs.”
After meeting during Casa Amor in Cape Town in 2020, Callum and Molly became one of the dating show’s most genuine pairings.
They had set up home together in Manchester.
When they split Molly kept Pomeranian, Nelly, and Callum took Winnie the pug.
