Love Island’s Toby Aromolaran has decided to share his perspective on his recent breakup with Chloe Burrows, breaking his silence on the matter. The Love Island 2021 finalist revealed that Chloe has “cut contact” with him.
Speaking to the Sun newspaper, Toby stated, “At the end of the day, it wasn’t a hard decision – once you’re having serious core problems, really and truly it’s done, isn’t it. It’s one of those ones because it’s my relationship; I don’t want to say what those issues were.
I haven’t really said it out loud to anyone really and truly; it’s almost like I’m running from it. I run from it.” He continued, “I think that book’s firmly closed. I don’t think I could let myself.
“I always say to people ‘why do you get back with your exes?’ and it always pulls you back. I’ve thought many times, shall I get back with her? But I just couldn’t. I can’t, I can’t, I just can’t do it.
I was the one who broke up with her. I miss being in a relationship. I miss us privately away from everything.” Toby added, “We were talking, and then now we’re not talking.
“We’ve gone back to silence. I feel once you’ve lived with someone like that and got so deep in. It’s on her side that we’re not talking.” Toby, aged 23, and 27-year-old Chloe reportedly ended their romance just over a year after finding love in the ITV2 dating show’s villa.
Did Chloe Cheat on Toby?
These guys did not cheat on each other. To be frank, no one did the other any wrong. The thing is, they have grown apart and as time went by, it came to their senses that the better option is for them to separate.
‘Chloe and Toby put all effort into their relationship – but it just has not worked out for the two of them.
‘Normally, Chloe has found the breakup like something hard but being able to spend time in another country with Millie has given her the distance she needed to start moving on.’
Since ending Love Island year 2021 as runners-up, the couple made it clear in November 2021 that they’d moved in together after they had found their dream home.
The pair then talked about split rumors in a hilarious way back in May after talks that the couple had gone their separate ways.
Did Chloe Accept Toby’s Proposal?
Love Island, star Chloe Burrows, spilled the beans on her relationship with Toby Aromolaran and spilled the tea on his proposal – she said no. The couple marked their first anniversary recently and made up her mind to do a Q&A on YouTube to spill the deets on their relationship.
Among all the questions thrown at them, the marriage question was bound to come up. That’s when Toby spilled the peculiar reason why Chloe turned down his proposal, as confirmed by The Sun. With a grin next to Toby on the marriage topic, Chloe said:
He asked me, and I turned him down. To which Toby chimed in: Do you know why she did that? Because I told the papers that if someone’s gonna tie the knot and someone’s gonna pop the question, then Chloe’s gonna be the one on one knee.
Chloe was obviously not impressed with the notion and added: I’ll never do that though, so you’ll have to handle it. This led Toby to explain that his initial remarks were more of a joke, and he didn’t realize they had turned Chloe off so much.
What Really Happened that they Split?
Last summer, Toby finally spoke publicly for the first time about his split with Chloe and admitted that it “wasn’t a hard decision” to go their separate ways.
However, he still refused to disclose the real reason. Toby told The Sun: “Ultimately, it was not a difficult decision – when you are facing serious main problems, it is pretty much over, isn’t it?
“It is one of those situations where that is because it is my relationship, I do not want to divulge what those issues were. He mentioned a “lack of trust” following a “significant incident,” but he wouldn’t elaborate on what exactly happened.
Chloe, 28, seemingly responded by sharing a sassy side-eye bikini snap from her holiday in Australia.
She captioned the post: “Everything Gucci.”
This followed Georgia asking Toby about the cause of his and Chloe’s split in October 2022. Toby replied: “I did not trust her anymore…. for heaven’s sake. It’s one of those tricky situations.”
Georgia asked Toby if Chloe had been “talking to other guys.” He responded: “No. It is just like, something happened, and the trust went.”
Georgia pressed: “But what happened?” Toby repeated: “Something happened, and the trust went. I didn’t trust her anymore.
“I think, if you’re in a relationship and you can’t trust them, then it’s done. You can’t work on the trust.” Georgia asked if Chloe had been “messaging other guys” behind his back.
But shockingly, Toby claimed: “Like… a big incident happened.” She asked if they “had gone out and…” to which Toby responded: “Something like that.”
What Information Have Chloe and Toby Shared Regarding their Breakup?
The former couple finally spilled the beans about their breakup a few months later. Toby told the tabloids he hadn’t discussed their split earlier because it was too tough. He also mentioned that they had cut ties at that point.
Meanwhile, Chloe shared her feelings on her podcast earlier this year with her friend Millie. She recounted how she called Millie in tears, seeking advice, and Millie kindly offered her a place to stay.
During her stint on Celebs Go Dating, Chloe got questioned about her previous relationship, and she got emotional discussing her split from Toby. She admitted she wasn’t ready and described him as “the nicest boy I’d ever been with.”
“But the connections you build [in the Love Island villa], you can’t replicate them in real life. When he said, ‘this isn’t working,’ I was really heartbroken for months,” she shared. “I was so downcasted. Things fell on different ways a bit, and we both knew. I am not going to beg for someone to stick with me.”
When asked if she would consider rekindling their relationship in the future, Chloe said, “I don’t know. We’re probably very different people now. I don’t know, to be honest.”
