"We have had a fantastic journey and we will always have a special bond between us.
"We will continue to be very much in one another's lives and support each other in every way.
"We are so grateful that we have shared this Love Island experience with each other, and we will continue to support each others careers.
"Life since the villa has been amazing, but it�s taking time to adjust to a new normal in the public eye. This part of the journey hasn�t been easy for us but we�re learning.
"Thank you to every single person who has supported us, we appreciate you more than you will ever know."

Kaz and Tyler are the first couple from the 2021 final to split – with winners Millie Court, 25, and Liam Reardon, 22, and runners-up Chloe Burrows, 25, and Toby Aromolaran, 22, still going strong in their relationships.
Faye Winter, 26, and Teddy Soares, also 26, who came third in the competition, are also still together.
The pair first met on Love Island earlier this year, according to a source, their romantic connection seems to have struggled outside Love Island, which subsequently led to their split.
