Gabby Allen and Marcel Somerville‘s reunion on Love Island All Stars is set to be extremely awkward when the show premieres on Sunday. The ex-couple, who initially met on Love Island in 2017, had their relationship marred by scandal when Marcel confessed to cheating on Gabby during a holiday to Mexico. Their trip took a turn for the worse when, after an argument, Marcel secretly left to meet up with another hotel guest, leading Gabby to end the relationship. This revelation is sure to add a layer of tension as they come face to face once again on the show.
The source detailed the events leading up to the breakup, revealing that after an argument during their holiday, Gabby went back to their hotel room to sleep, while Marcel stayed at the bar. There, he began chatting to another woman, and the two shared a kiss in front of other guests. Marcel then went to the woman’s room, and they slept together. He later returned to Gabby’s room, promising to meet her the next day while she was at the gym. Fast forward to now, and the ex-couple will be living in the same villa once again as they head to South Africa for the upcoming Love Island All Stars series. This reunion is expected to be highly tense given their past.
Since her breakup with Marcel, Gabby Allen has had relationships with Brandon Myers and Rak-Su singer Myles Stephenson. Meanwhile, Marcel has faced his own struggles. After marrying Rebecca Vieira in August 2022, he and his wife split in 2024 following reports that she had been sending flirty messages to US rapper Slim Jxmmi behind his back. Marcel, 39, reportedly moved out of their family home and deleted all traces of Rebecca from his social media.
Reflecting on his past mistakes, Marcel had openly admitted to cheating on Gabby during their relationship, expressing regret over the decision. A representative for him confirmed the split, explaining that while Marcel couldn’t justify his actions, he deeply regretted hurting Gabby and hoped for forgiveness in the future.
Gabby Allen expressed her shock and sadness following her breakup with Marcel Somerville, acknowledging the emotional toll it had taken on her. In an Instagram post, she thanked her loved ones for their support during the difficult time, adding that she was still processing the split but felt grateful for the strength of her family and friends.
Gabby and Marcel, who met on Love Island in 2017, had a seemingly solid relationship until their 2018 Mexican getaway, which was marred by cheating allegations. The Sun reported that Marcel had cheated multiple times with different women over several months, including kissing another woman during a night out. Despite Gabby’s suspicions, Marcel reportedly managed to convince her that nothing had happened. These events ultimately contributed to their breakup, with Gabby sharing her emotional response to the relationship’s end.#newsafro_
