In the juiciest news to come out of Love Island Australia 2024, Dylan Towolawi and Mimi Paranihi, confirmed that they were dating shortly after leaving the Love Island Australia villa.
Yup, the couple that fans have were shipping hard for on social media became a reality when Dylan and Mimi confirmed that they had the feels for each other in a post-elimination interview in December.
However, just a month later, it looks as though Mimi and Dylan may already be over.
Have Mimi and Dylan broken up?
Mimi and Dylan stayed suspiciously quiet about their reconciliation on social media after announcing they had started seeing each other. Now, it looks like their relationship is already donezo.
On January 16, Mimi shared a message on her Instagram broadcast channel, appearing to show a conversation with Dylan that seemed to confirm that they are no longer together.
“Anyways we have nothing else left to talk about. All the best with your journey. I would wish you the best but you had that.” Yikes!
Mimi first hinted at her and Dylan’s break up on January 14, when she shared a video of her having dinner with some friends and captioned it, “A woman’s intuition never lies, but men do.”
Furthermore, in the comments section of the TikTok, the Love Island star appeared to make some pointed references to her TV ex.

Mimi liked a fan’s comment that read, “Bye Bye Dylan,” and responded to another that said, “You clocked him straight away the first time. Why do we give them second chances?” with a clown face. Eesh.
When a third fan asked Mimi, “What did Dyls do?” she cryptically replied, “Patience, darlings, a whole new series is about to begin.”
To add even more fuel to the fire, Mimi shared a follow-up TikTok video miming the lyrics “If you fuck me, then fuck you” from Kendrick Lamar’s 30 for 30 Freestyle. She captioned the post, “Leave the island girl in peace.” Which is… indeed a choice.

Were Mimi and Dylan in a relationship?
It doesn’t sound like Mimi and Dylan were officially official! In an interview before Christmas, Mimi was asked about reports that she and Dylan were dating.
“I am single, but I am seeing someone,” Mimi said during an interview on New Zealand’s The Edge.

How did Love Island Australia’s Mimi and Dylan get together?
Mimi and Dylan were coupled up towards the beginning of Love Island Australia, but Mimi decided to pursue Love God Steph Blackos when Dylan didn’t meet her emotional needs.
The two never rekindled their relationship in the villa, even when they spent a night together at Hotel Amor.
However, following both Islanders’ eliminations, Dylan and Mimi have confirmed that they are dating.
“We were on a night out, and my intrusive thoughts won,” Mimi told 9Now of how the couple rekindled their relationship.
“We were just talking – and then I just kissed him. Then, we ended up having a really deep conversation. He opened up to me and I opened up to him… we learned that he can’t be emotional without physical, and I can’t be physical without emotional, so that’s kind of where that all worked out
“I adore him. I’m obsessed with him, actually. He’s amazing. I’ve literally never been with anyone as caring as him before.”
Dylan said that that fateful night helped him see a “completely different side to Mimi that nobody else knows”.
“After that night happened, we were just always talking and seeing each other on group nights. Then, the last month and a half, we’ve been out and staying at each other’s houses,” he added.
What happened to Dylan and Sophie?
Dylan and Sophie split shortly after leaving the Love Island Australia villa.
“Dylan did start acting a little bit funny and he did give me a ring and let me know that there’s somebody from his past that has come back up and that he’s interested in getting to know again,” Sophie cryptically revealed in an interview with 9Now.
“I just decided to remove myself from the equation, and I think it was probably for the best.”
Dylan added that Sophie wasn’t thrilled when she found out he was dating Mimi, who she was close to in the villa.
“Obviously, Sophie caught wind of it, she wasn’t happy, but we went about it as respectfully as we could,” he said.
