The pair finished in fourth place on Love Island and went on to date on and off for three years, following the show.
They welcomed daughter Vienna in May 2017 and 10-weeks after Vienna’s birth, Luis and Cally split after she hinted in a public statement that he had been unfaithful.
However, months later in December 2017, the pair confirmed they were back together – stating at the time: ‘For the record yes we are together. Had a really tough year, but couldn’t be more ready for 2018. Onwards and upwards.’
Unable to sort out their differences, Luis and Cally finally called time on their turbulent relationship just over a year after welcoming Vienna in September 2018.
At the time, Cally moved back to Hull with Vienna, while Luis stayed in London.
