Love Island: Emma and Harry's Past Relationship Explained
Following Casa Amor, a total of 12 couples were left in the Love Island villa - including new couple Emma Munro and Conor Phillips.
Of course, Conor isn't Emma's only link to the villa. Upon her arrival, viewers discovered that Emma is actually Harry Cooksley's ex-girlfriend. Yes; the same ex-girlfriend he said he was in love with and has tattooed on him.
So far, everyone has had their eye on Harry - including OG's Shakira Khan and Helena Ford, as well as Casa girl Rheo Parnell.
As for Harry, he's had his eye on, well, everyone.
With the ex's reunited, it initially seemed they were very much bringing their bad blood to Mallorca. Emma revealed that Harry had cheated on her with another woman, before the semi-professional footballer later jibed, 'It's a long way to come to throw dirt on my name.'
However, the tide has since changed. Now, it seems Emma and Harry might be rekindling their complicated romance. After asking Harry to sniff her armpits during one recent clip (hey, whatever floats your boat), Emma was heard saying, 'I don't think anyone has any gauge on how deep our relationship actually was.'
'We're so comfortable,' she added, with Harry replying, 'dangerously.'
Whether these two rekindle their clearly complex romance, only time will tell - but in the meantime, here's everything to know about Harry and Emma's relationship timeline.
If there's one thing we do know, it's that hydrogeologist Emma and semi-pro footballer Harry, both 30, dated for around three to four years. In a since deleted post, Emma shared a selfie of her and Harry cosying up in matching 'H' and 'E' baseball caps. They met in 2021 and things were serious. They met the family, lived together and Harry seemingly got 'E' tattooed on his wrist for Emma. Emma's sister commented 'Cool guy' on a picture of Harry holidaying in Egypt back in 2023. While the couple haven't removed all traces of each other on their socials, they no longer follow each other on Instagram.
Alas, all good things must come to an end, with the couple splitting in 2024. Harry explained ont he show that he'd been single for about a year, but after Emma's arrival she notably referenced a letter he sent her in January this year telling her he'd always be there for her.
Emma was quick to reveal the cause of her split with Harry during her time on Casa Amor. In conversation with her ex, she mentioned that he broke her trust by bringing girls back to their shared home after a night out. Given that Harry has been open about cheating on Emma a week into their relationship, it's no surprise the incident led the pair to breaking point.
'Harry and I had been together for four years, but unfortunately we broke up because he was misbehaving,' Emma explained, later saying to Harry 'The fact of the matter is you've brought girls into our home, and I wouldn't do that to you, because that was the rules, and you think the rules don't apply to you. It's my house, Harry. You think as soon as there's a boundary in place, cross it.'
Of course, there's nothing like Love Island to rekindle a past love. Despite their clearly messy end, Harry and Emma reunited during season 12 of Casa Amor. While they did share a kiss during Raunchy Races, the ex's didn't seem keen on rekindling anything in Casa. Emma coupled up with Conor to re-enter the villa, with Harry sticking with Helena (despite growing very close with Rheo.) During the re-coupling, Harry's treatment of Rheo was something Emma wasn't afraid to bring up - saying her ex didn't like being 'exposed' for who he really is.
Fast-forward to now, and they're having flirty chats and smelling armpits. Who said love doesn't exist?
When Emma entered, fans were initially thrilled to see someone finally putting the footballer back in his place. 'I think I'm going to like Emma, if only because of the look of disgust she makes every time Harry opens his mouth. It's about time someone humbles him,' wrote one on X (formerly Twitter). 'The producers said let's ruin this man's experience and sent in his biggest op. I fear I already have to stan,' laughed another.
Following their flirty chats, fans now have a different view. 'I need Emma to remember she's only here to make Harry look bad,' wrote one viewer, adding, 'Don't go off script, sweetie!'
'No way Emma is trying to get back with Harry after slagging him off the whole time for being a bad boyfriend,' added another.
It's some lore we're more than invested in - and with a few more weeks of villa action left, there could be plenty more of Emma and Harry to see.

How Orlando Bloom is turning into ‘world's worst ex' after Katy Perry split from cringe behaviour to nepo-baby parties
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) HE's failed to reclaim his leading man status, ever since playing a sea-faring adventurer in Pirates of the Caribbean over two decades ago. But Orlando Bloom has upped his swashbuckling adventures off-camera over the past few weeks, in the aftermath of his and Katy Perry's break-up. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 Actor Orlando Bloom looks glum posing with Katy Perry at an Oscars party in March Credit: Getty 5 Orlando in the VIP section at an Oasis gig with Liam Gallagher's sons Lennon and Gene Credit: Instagram/@orlandobloom 5 Orlando strolls in Venice with Sydney Sweeney Credit: BackGrid All that's left us wondering: has Orlando, 48, assumed his greatest role yet…as the worst ex ever? Because as far as he's concerned, his single era's in full Bloom. And he is making sure the world knows about it. Whether it's air-kissing the Kardashians and co at the Bezos-Sanchez wedding, or partying with nepo babies half his age at Oasis's concert in Manchester, the former heartthrob has been keeping himself busy. Meanwhile, his very recent ex has been grafting hard on her world tour, Lifetimes, and plastering on a smile following the end of their nine-year relationship. Read more on Orlando Bloom PERRY'S PAIN Katy Perry fights back tears onstage as she thanks fans after Orlando split His jam-packed social diary includes cringe-inducing selfies and videos, and a bleary-eyed appearance at Wimbledon the morning after the night before at Oasis. Rewinding two months, the actor was there to greet Katy, with their four-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove, in tow, following her all-female, 11-minute space flight with Blue Origin in April. But behind the scenes, reports spread that the couple's out-of-this-world love had come crashing down to earth, amid rumours that Orlando wasn't happy with Katy's very attention-seeking spectacle. One month later, their engagement was reportedly over, and they were duly pictured on opposite sides of the world. For his part, Orlando rocked up solo to Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's £20m wedding in Venice, while Katy - who's actually the one who's close to the billionaire pair - honoured her tour commitments in Australia. They had yet to confirm the split, but the writing was on the wall, as Orlando got busy 'partying and cosying up' to Sydney Sweeney, among the many A-listers in attendance, and hugging a 'mystery woman' - who later turned out to be Katy's stylist, Jamie Mizrahi. Emotional Katy Perry fights back tears onstage as she thanks fans after Orlando Bloom split And the cringey behaviour didn't stop there, as Orlando - the man who didn't like Katy's public spectacle - decided to run a lap of Venice in the shortest shorts possible. Needless to say, short-shrift was given to any alleged hopes he had of going incognito. Days later, the former couple announced in a statement that 'Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting. 'They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is - and always will be - raising their daughter with love, stability and mutual respect.' Days later, they stayed true to their word - with Orlando sharing photos from a family holiday in Italy with Katy, Daisy Dove, and Orlando's son Flynn, 14, whom he shares with ex-wife Miranda Kerr. But after bidding the family arrivederci, the actor was off to the races - seemingly loving every minute of his newfound single life. Over the weekend, he posted a video from Oasis's concert at Heaton Park, where he hobnobbed in the VIP section with the band's kids, including Liam Gallagher's sons Lennon, 25, and Gene, 24. 5 Orlando on a yacht off Italy's Amalfi coast Credit: BackGrid 5 Orlando takes a water taxi with Jamie Mizrahi at the Bezos wedding last month Credit: BackGrid Singing blissfully into his phone, the actor sparked a mixed reaction. Some loved his unbridled love for the band; others found it just a wee bit cringeworthy. One commenter wrote: 'Midlife crisis on full display,' while another weighed in: 'Grow up.' A third added: 'Hasn't done anything since Lord of the Rings. 'Such a boring non-entity.' Not one to be deterred, the father of two partied into the night, before donning his fineries the following day to attend the Wimbledon Men's Final. Dressed in a Ralph Lauren suit - with sunglasses to supposedly disguise the inevitable hangover - the actor watched Jannik Sinner beat Carlos Alcaraz to take the top title. Taking to Instagram, he later wrote: 'What a game!!! 'There is something so reassuringly British and life affirming about Wimbledon.' Once again, his exploits sparked a mixed reaction. One follower joked, 'You're everywhere,' while another added, 'He's having quite the freeloading summer.' Meanwhile, in contrast to his very social life, Orlando's acting career hasn't quite sparked the same global attention. His most recent film, Deep Cover - in which he stars as an improv actor turned undercover agent - was released on Amazon Prime last month. So far, it's garnered positive reviews, but it's had half the impact of Orlando's social calendar. I sometimes look at a cow and think, that's the most beautiful thing ever Orlando Bloom What's more, he may have been Hollywood hot property in the noughties - with roles in massive franchises like Lord of The Rings and Pirates of the Caribbean - but he's hardly made a splash since. He's worked relatively consistently, but his personal life has always eclipsed his professional output. Very public relationships with actress Kate Bosworth and first wife Miranda Kerr have increased his reputation as a celebrity romancer. That was then cemented when he got together with singer Katy in 2016 - before proposing in 2020. They'd initially planned to get married in Japan later that year, but the COVID-19 pandemic scuppered those chances. Then, after the initial postponement, they said their busy schedules kept getting in the way. Sources have since said: "They never set a date for the wedding or got around to planning anything, and Orlando is 'over it.'' Meanwhile, despite Orlando's love for things 'reassuringly British' he's slowly but surely become a parody of an LA cliche. 90 percent vegan In 2021, he went viral for all the wrong reasons, after taking part in the Sunday Times' Day in the Life series. On an average day, he said, he woke up at 6.30am and spent time 'connecting' with his then baby daughter. He said: 'I'll do eye-gazing with her and sing songs.' Then, his day got progressively madder, as he explained: 'I like to earn my breakfast so I'll just have some green powders that I mix with brain octane oil, a collagen powder for my hair and nails, and some protein. 'It's all quite LA, really.' As well as chanting 'for 20 minutes every day, religiously', he also went hiking and built Lego. Capping off the universally-mocked feature, he explained why he was 90 percent vegan, opining: 'I sometimes look at a cow and think, that's the most beautiful thing ever'...despite the fact that, 10 percent of the time, he ate red meat. Orlando was duly mocked to oblivion for his 'normal routine' - and his reputation hasn't quite survived the wreckage. Now, as he continues to make hay while the sun shines on his very single summer, we're all wondering: are we watching him play his biggest role to date, as the world's worst - and certainly most embarrassing - ex? Sadly for Katy, Orlando may have hung up his pirate costume decades ago… but it looks like he's more determined than ever to sail the seas.

ITV Love Island fans 'disgusted' as sex scenes air between islanders
Viewers were left "disgusted" by one couple's antics after they narrowly avoided being dumped from the villa. Love Island viewers were left stunned as the show broadcast a racy bedroom scene between Harrison and his partner Lauren. The duo had a narrow escape from being booted off Love Island after Shakira and Ty decided to send Tommy and Lucy packing, sparing Harrison and Lauren along with Conor and Emma. It appeared that Harrison and Lauren chose to mark their stay in the villa with an intimate celebration in the bedroom, prompting 'disgust' among fans when Harrison was heard asking Harry for a condom. As night fell on the villa, the night cam captured Harrison reaching out to Harry and Helena's bed, enquiring: "Do you have a condom?" Harry and Helena burst into laughter, with Helena quickly retrieving one from a drawer and Harry handing it over. The couple then disappeared under the covers, engaging in a kiss as the cameras shifted focus to them. But the audience was far from amused, particularly since Harrison had mentioned he was still in contact with his ex, Toni, reports the Mirror. On X, previously known as Twitter, one viewer expressed their disbelief: "Did Harry just pass a condom to Lauren and Harrison? ? ? ! I didn't know I was watching too hot to handle". Another equally astonished fan commented: "I have never. In all my years seen someone ask for a condom on # loveisland. Like yayyyyy for sexual safety but that is tooooooooooo raz. "Do you have a condom? Is going to haunt me until the day that I die #LoveIsland," a third viewer remarked. Another added: "'Do you have a condom?' That is disgusting work. What is wrong with that man." In tonight's captivating episode of Love Island, the villa was abuzz with no opportunity for a breather. The Islanders faced a dramatic recoupling hot on the heels of a double bombshell dumping. The episode kicked off with an emotional farewell to Tommy and Lucy, who were sent packing after being deemed the least compatible by fellow Islanders Shakira and Ty. This follows last night's shock exit of Ben and Andrada, who received a sudden text decreeing their departure as the least compatible couple - a decision made shortly after they coupled up during Casa Amor's events. Ben had since been seen grappling with doubts over Andrada's sincerity after she developed a bond with Dejon while in the secondary villa. But in a twist, Toni disclosed to Lauren that she had "washed her hands" of Harrison, suggesting she'd surrendered any romantic claim over him. Later scenes showed Harrison taking Toni to the terrace to express his strong feelings for her, which she eventually gave into, choosing her former flame over Cach - the Islander she took back into the villa from Casa Amor.

Love Island's Ryan Bannister takes swipe at bosses after he was axed after just 24 hours
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island's Ryan Bannister has taken a swipe at bosses after he was axed from the show after just 24 hours. Bombshell Ryan was shown the door alongside villa OG Alima in a brutal dumping earlier this month.

But the group were blindsided when bombshells, Billykiss and Ryan, were asked to stand. The boys were told to step forward if they wanted to couple up with Billykiss, and Conor did, leaving Alima single. Moments later, when no girls stepped forward for Ryan, the group assumed Alima and Ryan would be paired. But instead, a brutal twist revealed both were being dumped from the Island immediately. Ryan had only arrived on the show the day before and he had only slept in the villa for one night. To say his time on the show was short but sweet is an understatement. Now Ryan has taken a swipe at bosses, after only being on the ITV2 dating show for just one day. On Instagram he has changed his profile to read: "Didn't find love in 24 hours @loveisland." Speaking shortly after he was sent packing, Ryan said: "It's been a bittersweet experience, as I was only in there a short amount of time. Furious Love Islanders slam Shakira as she sends couple home in shock dumping decision "I wish I got an opportunity to turn a few more heads but it is what it is!" Asked what is favourite moment in the villa was, he replied: "The two dates were lovely, the place we went to was stunning and it was a nice way to be introduced. " Summing up his Love Island experience, Ryan said: "Being in the Villa and seeing it first hand, was a once in a lifetime opportunity! "As short as it was, it was still amazing." Love Island continues tomorrow night at 9pm on ITV2
