Mike and Priscilla were one of several couples still together from that series, but the revealed the pair have now parted ways.
A source close to the pair confirmed to the publication that they have broken up, but they have remained friends.
An insider revealed: "Mike and Priscilla made the most out of their relationship and supported each other throughout their time post-villa and during lockdown.
"But it's not worked out between them – and they've now decided they're better off as friends."
This week a fan took to Reddit after discovering the pair had unfollowed each other on Instagram, which sparked rumours they had split up.
They wrote: "Just realised they unfollowed each other", which sparked concerned replies from other Reddit users.
"I had a feeling they had broken up," replied one viewer and another explained: "Priscilla's last post with Mike was April 24th 2021 and Mike's last post with Priscilla was 5 March 2020 despite deleting a few of his posts with Priscilla post show."
Before Mike and Priscilla coupled up in the villa, the policeman was working his charms on Leanne, before his head was turn by Jess Gale.
In March Leanne slammed Love Island as "fake" and revealed her break up with Mike was filmed THREE times.
Speaking on her channel, the star said: "So basically we had to redo the scene three times. This tied into a different question: tell us a crazy moment/secret about the villa that we would know.
"The first time it was actually pretty chill, we were like we aren't feeling it but it's cool though, we'll still be friends. We'll still sleep in the same bed it's not that bed.
"They actually said this is bullshit, it's not a good enough break up. Have more vim. I was like, no, I'm not feeling it. The producers said they weren't happy, it needs more.
"At this point I feel so awkward, like have you lot ever had that conversation more than once. It's very very awks. When I feel awkward I laugh."

She was also asked whether Love Island is scripted and replied that it is more like constructed reality in the vein of Towie.
She continued: "Love Island isn't scripted, they've never handed me a script and read off this. But it's reality TV, they want to keep it entertaining.
"They want to keep it so you guys understand what's going on. How do I explain this? I don't want trouble. I don't want f***ing trouble.
"Some scenes are set up for your entertainment. I almost feel like a disclaimer should be put up at the beginning of every episode like Towie and that. Some storylines are pushed."
