Background Information
Things are heating up in the Love Island villa, and now one of Joey Essex’s ex-girlfriends just walked through the door – here’s what happened between them and why they broke up.
In the same episode which saw Joey Essex and Samantha Kenny go on their first date, one of Joey’s exes arrived at the Love Island villa to throw a spanner in the works.
Joey and Samantha have been a slow burner, compared to couples like Ciaran Davies and Nicole Samuel who are now closed off from anyone else, however on their date things went really well.
Yet, Joey did admit he’s open to getting to know new girls that enter the villa and as if like magic, a new girl that he doesn’t even need to get to know strutted in.
As soon as Joey saw the three new bombshells he couldn’t disguise the shock on his face as he whispered, “Oh my God… I used to see that girl”.
So, what happened between Joey and bombshell Grace Jackson? And why did they end things? Here’s what we know…
Main Event or Topic
When did Joey Essex and Grace Jackson date?
Speaking on Love Island, Grace said she and Joey dated last summer (2023) after meeting in Ibiza. She told the girls things were “intense” and they ended on “frosty” terms – awks!
A source told Mail Online: “There’s definitely some unfinished business between them and she isn’t going to hold back in expressing how she feels in the villa.”
The source also acknowledged that Grace’s appearance in the villa will put major pressure on Joey’s coupling with Samantha.
Grace claimed they were together for a couple of months but they haven’t seen each other since last July. She also slipped in that Joey was messaging her a couple months ago trying to ‘talk’.
Why did Joey Essex and Grace Jackson break up?
Joey was the one who called things off, and speaking to Grace in the villa he apologised for the way things ended, saying things had got really serious really quickly.
Grace has spoken a bit about how her lifestyle has hindered past relationships, saying: “My lifestyle can put guys off a little bit, I like to go out and go abroad a lot.
“They can’t keep up with my lifestyle. It’s the life that I want, and it helps with my business. To sit in and be single, I can’t understand why I would do that in my peak and my mid-20s.”
You’d think that can’t be what put reality TV star Joey off since he leads a busy life too, however, he has been candid about wanting to settle down and start and family, so perhaps he’s not looking for a jet setter.
