So, when exactly did they break up?

Yana and Kye together on love Island

All hell broke loose in the Love Island Australia villa when Yana’s ex, Kye, entered as a bombshell during Episode 5. Yana was visibly shaken by his arrival and made it clear she was unhappy about it, however, things have since turned around for the couple, and they’re coupled up in the villa.

But, it’s been an extremely rough road for them, which has resulted in a lot of tears for Yana — particularly when Kye broke their boundaries and hooked up with bombshell Emma in Hotel Amor.

Despite the chaos, viewers saw Yana save Kye at the mass dumping that aired on December 2, and she has made it clear she’s willing to work to make a relationship work with him.

So, will they make it together as a couple in the real world? Love Island Australia 2025 is pre-recorded, so Kye and Yana already know the answer to those questions. However, read on to find out what we know so far about whether the couple are still together — and what their dating history is.

Are Love Island’s Kye and Yana together in real life?

The Islanders are strictly warned by production not to share their relationship status while the show is still airing, to avoid ruining the finale for viewers. However, eagle-eyed fans have managed to pick up signs about where Kye and Yana stand, and it’s not good news for people who think she should leave him.

Yana and Kye attended a White Fox event in late November and posed for a photo with long-term Love Island couple, Nate and Georgia, suggesting that they’re, at very least, on good terms.

Another photo posted to Reddit shows Yana posing with two friends, wearing a different outfit from the White Fox party, with Kye in the background. So, while this doesn’t necessarily confirm that they’re dating, it does show they’ve been hanging out on multiple occasions since filming wrapped.

However, Yana recently threw a spanner in the works when she posted some lyrics about a man who lies and highlighted a section of the song that says, “I’m done”. Could she be hinting at being done with Kye after his Hotel Amor antics? We’ll just have to wait and see!

Love Island Australia’s Yana and Kye’s dating history

When Kye entered Love Island Australia, he picked Gabby for a date early, and she left to meet him. During their meet up, Gabby mentioned Yana by name, which is when it clicked to Kye that his ex was in the villa. Kye told Gabby that he’d dated Yana for a year and a half, and said the last time they saw each other was “a couple of months ago”.

After Kye officially entered the villa, Yana and the rest of the girls headed to a nook for a debrief, and Gabby told Yana that Kye had said their relationship had “finally ended six months ago”.

So, does the timeline of Yana and Kye’s relationship add up? Here’s everything we know about their history before the show.

It appears that Yana and Kye hard-launched their relationship in October 2023, on a group trip to Dumbogan, located about four hours north of Sydney. Yana shared a collection of snaps from the holiday, including a couple of her cuddled up with Kye.

Kye popped up again in Yana’s post in July 2024, and this time he was in front of the camera again. Yana captioned the carousel “Lil trip”, and it appears that the couple went dirt bike riding together.

October 2024

October 2024 marked Kyle and Yana’s first solo couple photo on the gram, and the location was tagged as Annuka Beach Resort. However, there was some crazy foreshadowing in the comments section, with a now-deleted user writing: “He’s cheated on every gf he’s had pls beware before u txt the gfs gc broken x.”

Things appeared to still be going strong between Kye and Yana in January of this year, as Kyle was tagged in a selection of pics of Yana in Seal Rocks. However, the same user who ominously warned Yana about Kye in October was back in the comments section. “Dating a guy with a horrendous past is really embarrassing please beware,” they wrote.

Kye and Yana took things international with a trip to LA and Brazil in February 2025, but it seemed to spell the end of the couple, as the pics are the last photos posted online of them together.

March 2025

In March, Yana posted a clip to her Instagram story showing her friend running to her car, captioning it “Who needs a bf?”, which implied that she was single.

When was Love Island Australia 2025 filmed?

Unlike the UK and USA versions of Love Island, which are filmed live, the Australian iteration is pre-recorded.

While exact filming dates haven’t been released to the public, it’s understood that filming generally takes place from late July to late August. If that’s correct, it looks like Yana and Kye broke up around five months prior to filming the dating reality show.

However, Yana and Kye have since rekindled their flame on Love Island Australia, and headed to the hideaway together for a spicy night on November 20.
