They quickly sparked rumours of a romance with their cosy TikTok videos, and Caprice later explained that they had indeed coupled up. She told Heat: Yeah, we are seeing each other, but it’s very early and we don’t want to put pressure on it." At the time, she insisted they were seeing 'a lot' of each other, even though he lives in Bristol and she is based in Essex.

But now, just weeks later, Shea has confirmed to The Sun that they have called it all off. The sad update comes just weeks after Caprice away from the villa and the spoke out on infamous divide that wasglaringly taking place in the villa between the girls.

During the show, Caprice and fellow bombshell Poppy accused some of the boys of “game-playing” after refusing to choose them to recouple. Caprice, 26, entered the villa as one of the four sleepover bombshells on 23 June 2025, alongside Giorgio Russo, Poppy Harrison and Will Means, with her sights set firmly on Dejon Noel‑Williams.

But despite some flirtatious teasing and a snog during the VIP sleepover challenge, Dejon ultimately chose to remain loyal to Meg Moore - and Caprice was dumped after just two days in the villa.

When it came to the recoupling decision, Dejon was adamant he wanted to remain with "my Meg". At the time, Caprice told Maya Jama she wasn't surprised, saying she'd been confused the whole time.

Speaking exclusively at the NRTAs, she didn’t shy away from reflecting on her whirlwind stint on the show. On what life has been like after Love Island, she told us: "Do you know what it's lovely. Everyone is just really lovely, I've come out to a lot of love and it's all just exciting and fun. I feel like I'm having the best summer of my life."

Following that, that was whenShea sparked rumours he was romantically involved with Caprice after they were spotted looking very cosy in a series of social media posts.

But when quizzed on her love life, Caprice was candid as always, as she said: "If the right person is in my life then I'm open to it but I've got a lot going on, like, I'm working – I'm doing what I was doing before, and I'm still trying to get into content so I've got a lot going on but I'm open to dating. I'm still trying to find my husband."
