He no longer speaks to many of his former co-stars
Last updated 19th Oct 2021
Love Island 2021 seems a long time ago now, doesn’t it?
Even though Love Island fans love to believe that the Islanders continue their friendships and blossoming relationships on the outside world, Jake Cornish is here to break all our hearts as he’s revealed that most of 2021 cast no longer speak.
Despite living together for months during the summer, Jake, who sensationally left the villa days before the final following his split from ex Liberty Poole, told new! magazine that everyone goes their “separate ways” when they return to real life.
Jake also revealed that the gang’s WhatsApp group – formed when the show wrapped – is now “dead”. Ouch.
He said: "There’s a WhatsApp group but it’s dead. There is no point in being in it. When we came out it was going off every day and now it’s gone downhill.
"You all go your separate ways."
Check out Love Island stars who've dated cast from other series:
Luke Mabbott and Lucie Donlan
In July 2020, Winter Love Island star Luke Mabbott and Love Island 2019 star Lucie Donlan announced they were dating! The pair grew close during lockdown and in July then enjoyed a lovely little UK getaway together!
Luke M's Love Island BFF Luke T told the Mail Online, "I was asking him about it for weeks but he just told me last weekend. He's been cool, I think they're well suited and I'm happy for them. Hopefully they last."
Well, the pair certainly have lasted! They continue to flood social media on the daily with cute snaps together, looking VERY loved-up.
Wes Nelson and Arabella Chi
Despite leaving the Love Island 2018 villa with Megan Barton-Hanson, the pair split in March 2019, with 2019 Islander Arabella Chi catching Wes' eye on the show.
When Arabella left the villa, the pair enjoyed a number of dates before going official in August 2019.
Although the pair moved in together, just nine months after they went official, reports suggested that Wes and Arabella had split in April 2020.
Kaz Crossley and Theo Campbell
Following Love Island 2018 star Kaz Crossley's split from fellow Islander Josh Denzel, Kaz started dating 2017 star Theo Campbell.
The couple made things official and later attended events together, enjoyed a number of holidays and looking very loved-up.

In August 2019, Kaz proved her love for her man by flying out to Ibiza after Theo lost the sight in his right eye following an accident involving a champagne cork.
Admitting how 'proud' she was of his bravery following the accident, Kaz wrote, 'It's been a hard 24 hours no one here speaks English and he was taken for hours at one point and I had no clue he was in surgery again. I've stayed in his room over night and just want to take him home. He's so brave and positive hopefully it will get better thanks for your kind messages.'
However, in February 2021, Theo confirmed the pair have now split, admitting he got 'slinged'.
Michael Griffiths and Ellie Brown
Love Island 2019 star Michael Griffiths seemed to confirm he was dating 2018 Ellie Brown after the pair both appeared on Celebrity Ex On The Beach. The former fireman even called Ellie 'the one'.
However, just hours later, Ellie denied the reports, admitting they only posted the photo to promote the show.
Joanna Chimonides and Jack Fowler
After Joanna Chimonides was brutally dumped from the Love Island villa in 2019, fans of the show were left in shock when she was met at the airport by Love Island 2018 hunk Jack Fowler.

Joanna was quick to clear up the rumours, revealing she's been pals with Jack for a number of years.
Maybe a potential couple in the future then? 🙈
Max Morley and Laura Anderson
Although Max Morley won Love Island 2015 alongside Jessica Hayes, the pair split shortly after leaving the villa and Max more or less removed himself from the spotlight.
That was until he started dating Love Island 2018 star Laura Anderson, with the pair posting cute snaps together on Instagram.

Things all ended in sadness though! Just a few months after enjoying a holiday in Barbados, Laura and Max split amidst cheating fears, with Laura blocking her former beau on Instagram.
Laura went on to date Dane Bowers and Gary Lucy, and now she's a proud mum!
Kendall Rae-Knight and Kem Cetinay
Love Island 2017 winner Kem Cetinay and 2018 Islander Kendall Rae-Knight were spotted on a 'date' in 2021, with the pair even sharing a kiss!
However, speaking to heat on Love Island: Under the Duvet, Kendall revealed the pair were just friends, saying, "Aaaah, yeah, we're just friends."
Antigoni Buxton and Jack Fowler
Antigoni Buxton is in the Love Island 2022 villa now, but before entering she dated 2018 Islander Jack Fowler for a number of months.
However, Jake did add that he’s still in touch with some of the boys: "I’m in a WhatsApp group with Liam Reardon and Tyler Cruickshank and we talk every day, and I talk to Brad, Aaron Simpson and Danny Bibby.
"A couple of the girls I speak to very rarely on Instagram as I think everyone has gone their separate ways and there’s the girl code!"
Jake’s comments come after he claimed in September that he hasn’t heard from any of the girls since leaving the villa. "I don’t speak to any of the girls. I think I’m a lone wolf that side. They’re there and I’ve just gone this way," he admitted.
However, despite Jake’s claims, his co-star Chloe Burrows has insisted that there is “no bad blood between anyone”.
Speaking to Metro.co.uk, Chloe said: “I mean I literally got a message off him this morning so it’s definitely not me. There’s a big WhatsApp group but I don’t think people use it. I just feel like there were closer friendships in the villa and stuff which have stayed on the outside, but as far as I know, there’s no bad blood between anyone.
“I’ve literally messaged him this morning. Me and Jake are cool.”
