Joey Essex and Jessy Potts, who recently exited Love Island just shy of the final, have sparked rumors of a split despite their declarations of a genuine relationship. While Joey has expressed a desire for a large family, wanting eight children compared to Jessy's four, their differing views have led to some playful disagreements. Joey has defended his actions during the show, suggesting that he was encouraged to stir drama and play a 'pantomime villain' role, and insists that their romance is sincere despite skepticism from fans. Jessy echoed this sentiment, stating they took their time in the villa and are enjoying their relationship outside of it. Their future remains uncertain, however, as fans question the viability of their romance given Joey's plans to pursue opportunities in America. Both remain optimistic about their connection, emphasizing that they are not rushing into anything.
