Love Island fans say Tyrique Hyde just ‘soft launched’ new girlfriend after messy Ella Thomas split
LOVE Island fans think that Tyrique Hyde just ‘soft launched’ his new girlfriend on social media.
The Semi-Professional Footballer rose to prominence of the tenth series of the hit ITV2 show in 2023.



Tyrique Hyde, 25, finished in third place alongside co-star Ella Thomas, 24.
However, the pair called time of their on/off relationship and have been embroiled in a social media war since.
As part of that, Love Island enthusiasts seemingly think that Tyrique has given a hint to a new relationship on social media.
The former reality star took to Instagram with a new album from one of his nights out in London.
He cryptically captioned the photos: “NOT HEARTLESS, JUST USING MY HEART LESS.”
Although most of the snaps show the star sitting in a luxury Range Rover.
However, the first photo shows a pair of female hands lovingly caressing the TV star’s face.
Many fans flooded the comments section as they seem to think that the star is hinting at a new relationship.
One fan exclaimed: “Someone find her.”
A second cheekily asked: “Who’s thatttttt in the backkkk.”
While a third stated: “Not the soft launch,” alongside a crying with laughter emoji.
And a fourth added: “So are we just gonna ignore the hands…”
We previously revealed Ella and Ty had split for good after breaking up and getting back together last year.
Insiders revealed they struggled to make things work due to constant rows during their relationship.
Love Island Ella Thomas and Whitney Adebayo FALLOUT

LOVE Island's Whitney Adebayo has admitted her friendship with co-star Ella Thomas has 'gone wrong' - but what's happened?
- 2023: Whitney and Ella enter the Love Island villa
- They become close mates and BFFS as the matchmaking show drama unfolds
- Yet they locked horns in an explosive row with Whitney branding Ella the “most selfish” person she had ever met
- August 2024: Eagle-eyed fans spot Whitney and Ella had unfollowed each other on Instagram
- September 2024: Whitney told her podcast how Ella had “blanked” her at a series of influencer events
A source told The Sun at the time: “They have tried really hard but just been having constant arguments.
“At the end of day they want different things and it’s too hard to make it work. They are saying it’s over for good this time and there is no going back.”
It seems there’s no love lost between the former reality TV pair as eagle-eyed fans noticed Ella and Ty had blocked each other on Instagram.
Since his time on the show Ty has been busy pursuing a rap career – and Ella recently appeared to make a huge dig at his ambitions.
Ella appeared in a TikTok with one of her pals which included the text: “So you will literally leave a man if he pursues a rap career?”
She was seen lip-syncing: “I will leave him sharp, I will block.”

RAY GUN (8.30 Wolverhampton, nap).
Father and daughter team Jamie and Saffie Osborne teamed up to strike with this three-year-old on handicap debut at Kempton last week. He had plenty in hand crossing the line and looks hard to stop up a 6lb penalty. The family team can celebrate another victory with plenty of improvement to come from this 135,000 euro buy.
SARAFINA MSHAIRI (7.30 Wolverhampton, nb)
Looked a winner in waiting when beaten less than a length here last time. That was over 6f but she showed loads of pace so this drop back to the minimum looks a good idea. Excellent claimer Jack Doughty is good value for the 3lb he takes off my fancy’s back.
WEARELONGTERM (4.35 Ayr, treble)
Loves the mud so should be right at home today. He was much improved in testing conditions at Wetherby latest and a 3lb rise in the weights gives him every chance of going one better.
