Mimi Paranihi and Steph Blackos have officially been dumped from the Love Island Australia 2024 villa — so now we can finally find out whether they are still together IRL.
The remaining Islanders were tasked with choosing one couple to be eliminated, and Steph and Mimi received the most votes. Both of them were shocked to learn of their elimination, and Steph angrily told the group that they were the “last couple that was supposed to be dumped”.
On a brighter note, the seemingly loved-up couple got to leave the villa together, so what happened after? Here’s everything we know about this Love Island Australia couple and their relationship status.
Steph and Mimi: Does this couple survive Love Island Australia?
While in the villa, Mimi and Steph’s relationship appeared strong, but things have come crashing down since then.
During an interview with 9Now, Steph revealed that he and Mimi are no longer together.
“Mimi and I are not in a relationship. We decided to stop things one month after the show, but we are on good terms together. I don’t regret anything. She’s an amazing woman,” he told the publication.
Meanwhile, Mimi spilled a bit more of the tea, telling the publication that she was the one to end things.
“I actually called it quits with him, purely because he did and said things that I was not comfortable with. He showed another side of him that I didn’t like,” she explained.
“When the show finished, we actually got into quite a big argument that involved me stating that I didn’t want to continue this relationship.
“He kind of crossed my boundaries quite a few times and I was quite upset about it. I feel like he was a different person outside of the Villa.”
Steph and Mimi’s Love Island story
Mimi was one of the original Islanders on Love Island Australia 2024, and early on, she was coupled up with Dylan Towolawi.
As time passed and Steph eventually entered the villa as a Bombshell (a Love God, in fact), Mimi found herself leaning toward the Frenchman instead and eventually, she recoupled with him.
Will Mimi end up with Dylan?
Regardless of the fact that Mimi and Dylan were only together early on in the show, fans on social media have been gunning for them to get back together and a recent Reddit post has added fuel to the fire.
One Redditor shared a bunch of photos of Mimi and Dylan out together outside of the villa and included a telling tidbit.
“I was sent these photos by a lovely Redditor who saw them yesterday. They said they [Dylan and Mimi] were all over each other and kissing!! Her outfit matches that of a TikTok uploaded by her friend yesterday as well,” they wrote.
