Love Island’s Tom Clare couldn’t help but tease Molly Smith’s former flame, Callum Jones, after their triumph on All Stars. The adorable couple, Tom (24) and Molly (29), were spotted cozying up in the back of a taxi upon their return to the UK, radiating love and happiness.

It seems like Tom couldn’t resist taking a playful jab at Molly’s ex, as he captioned their adorable Instagram post with, “Mols shy on the sing-song.” Fans quickly jumped to the conclusion that Tom’s cheeky comment was directed at Callum, who also appeared on the spin-off series.
Molly and Callum first met on the inaugural season of the winter edition of Love Island back in 2020. Although they were together for three years, their relationship sadly came to an end in the previous year. However, despite their breakup, the former couple managed to remain civil towards each other when they unexpectedly encountered each other in the Love Island villa.

Throughout the ITV2 program, fans expressed their desire for Molly and Callum to reconcile and get back together. However, fate took a different turn, and Callum eventually found love with Jess Gale, securing second place behind Molly and Tom in the All Stars finale.
Love Island fans also noticed a heart-wrenching moment during the finale that seemingly indicated Callum’s lingering feelings for Molly. In a clip shared on X, Callum was seen searching the crowd for Molly while seemingly disregarding what his partner, Maya, and Jess were saying. The emotional revelation left fans in a state of shock and prompted them to comment on the undeniable chemistry between Molly and Callum.
To add to the evidence of their residual love, Molly and Callum had two dogs together during their three-year relationship—a Pomeranian named Nelly and a pug named Winnie. Following their split, Molly kept Nelly, while Callum took custody of Winnie. During a heartwarming moment at the airport, when Tom and Molly were awaiting their suitcases, Molly proudly showed off her screensaver featuring Winnie.
As for why Molly and Callum didn’t rekindle their romance on the show, a Reddit user shared their theory. According to this viewer, Molly was still hoping for a reunion with Callum, but he didn’t put in enough effort to win her back. The viewer even placed blame on Chris for kissing Molly on the terrace, believing that if it hadn’t happened, Molly and Callum might have reignited their love story.
Love Island All Stars brought us a rollercoaster of emotions, and Molly and Tom’s victory left fans ecstatic. With their undeniable chemistry and light-hearted banter, it’s no wonder they stole the hearts of viewers. We can’t wait to see what the future holds for this adorable couple!
