Blogged by: Draggy

Another “Love Island USA” Season 7 romance has officially run its course. Clarke Carraway and Taylor Williams have split after taking their connection from Casa Amor to a real relationship outside the villa.

A source close to Clarke told PEOPLE that she “made the difficult decision to part ways with Taylor” and wishes him “the absolute best.” The source also made clear that Clarke is leaving the relationship with appreciation for what the two shared rather than publicly airing any conflict. “She will always be grateful for the time they shared together,” the source said, “and for everyone who showed them love and support from the very beginning.”

The source added, “As she closes out this chapter, she’s looking forward to focusing on her growth and what’s ahead.”

Their story started during Casa Amor in Season 7, when Williams developed a connection with Clarke after previously being coupled with Olandria Carthen. Taylor ultimately chose Clarke at the Casa Amor recoupling, and the two were later dumped from the villa together

The couple did not immediately put an official label on their relationship after filming. Taylor and Clarke officially began dating in October 2025. Their relationship then became part of “Love Island: Beyond the Villa” Season 2, which followed Season 7 cast members as they adjusted to life, relationships and public attention outside Fiji.

Just months before the split, Taylor was talking publicly about how much their relationship had grown. In an April interview with Cosmopolitan, he discussed Clarke supporting him after a horse riding accident left him recovering on bed rest.

“I got to see who Clarke really was when I was on bed rest for two weeks. I got to see her caring side, how much she loves me, and how much she wants to tend to me, if I need her to,” Williams said. “We definitely grew super strong.”
