Tasha Ghouri and Andrew Le Page, fan favorites from Love Island 2022, surprised everyone earlier this year when they announced their split after two and a half years together.
Their love story, which began on the reality show, appeared to be thriving—they even moved in together and took on home renovations. Still, the challenges of life and personal growth ultimately led them to go their separate ways.
Strictly Come Dancing: Catalyst or Coincidence?
At first, many speculated that Tasha’s involvement in Strictly Come Dancing might have been the reason for their breakup, often dubbed the “Strictly curse.” Both fans and the media suggested that the time commitment and intense focus required for the dance competition caused tension in their relationship.
An insider mentioned that although Tasha loved Andrew deeply, her dedication to the show—especially her partnership with pro dancer Aljaž Škorjanec—gradually created a rift between them.
Tasha, however, has set the record straight. In an open conversation on the Spooning podcast, she dismissed the idea that the Strictly curse was to blame, explaining that they had communication issues even before the show started and that participating in Strictly only amplified those problems. She shared her inner struggle, wanting things to get better but ultimately coming to the realization that they wouldn’t.
Emotional Impact and Reflection
While talking about the breakup, Tasha became quite emotional, revealing how tough it was to end a relationship with someone she had deeply loved and envisioned a future with, including marriage and kids. She admitted that making the decision was heartbreaking, filled with tears and a lot of soul-searching about what would make her happy going forward.
The breakup was even more challenging because it unfolded under the watchful eye of the public, with the media and fans eager to spin their own stories. Tasha expressed her frustration over how little control she had regarding how their split was depicted, underlining that breakups are tough for anyone but hers felt especially amplified by the public interest.
Life After the Split
Since their breakup, both Tasha and Andrew have started moving on in their own ways. Andrew has hinted at getting back into the dating scene through social media, keeping things light about his single life. On the other hand, Tasha admitted to making a “silly mistake” by trying out a dating app soon after they split, but she clarified that she’s not ready to dive into serious dating just yet.
Despite their separation, they remain on friendly terms, particularly as they co-parent their dog, Luna. Tasha emphasized that their relationship didn’t end on bad terms and that they still care for one another, even as they take different paths in life.
