Privacy Notice It looks like Love Island favourites Shaq Muhammad and Tanya Manhenga have hit a rough patch, with eagle-eyed fans noticing the pair have stopped following each other on Instagram. Shaq, 26, is currently off soaking up the sun with his mate Dami Hope, whom 24 year old Tanya has also given the Instagram cold shoulder. The drama began when Tanya wiped her profile clean of any shots featuring Shaq, stirring up speculation among followers that the couple have parted ways. This loved-up duo initially got together during season nine of Love Island in South Africa, which aired in January 2023, surviving all the way to the final round. The crown, however, went to Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan. Sign up to OK!’s daily newsletter to get updates sent to your inbox for free

Just half a year post-show, they took a big leap and moved in together, with Tanya, who believes the show gave her a bad edit, gushing over their new living situation on social media: “WE HAVE A NEW HOME.” She added: “Guess there’s no escaping now. Have to thank God always for this next step in our lives. Looking forward to this next chapter.” A recent video even had fans buzzing with excitement over a potential engagement after it appeared to show Shaq popping the question. Adding to the surprise, the duo were no-shows at Sunday night’s AfterSun, despite being advertised as part of the line-up alongside Indiyah Polack, Sam Thompson, Chris Taylor, and themselves as ninth series favourites ready to dish on the latest from the villa.
Dami and Shaq were on holiday together
TV guide listings had hyped up their appearance well in advance: “Maya Jama is joined by Indiyah Polack, Sam Thompson, Chris Taylor and ninth series favourites Tanya and Shaq to unpack all the action from the Love Island villa.” However, their absence went unexplained on the actual broadcast, leaving fans scratching their heads and wondering what might’ve happened between the reality stars. This twist in Shaq and Tanya’s tale comes not long after the couple were thought to be taking the next jump into engagement territory while on a dreamy getaway to Tanzania earlier this year.
The pair recently enjoyed a lavish holiday

During their lavish getaway, Shaq pulled out all the stops for Tanya’s birthday, arranging a romantic candlelit beach dinner at sunset. Fans were quick to speculate that the grand gesture was a proposal, but Shaq clarified in his post caption: “This is just her birthday imagine when I propose. Thank you for helping me in making my baby’s birthday one to remember.” The couple enjoyed a luxurious four-course meal, including lobster, before staff brought over a sparkler-adorned birthday cake. Despite Shaq’s hint that an engagement would be even more extravagant, fans couldn’t help but think he was about to pop the question.
The holiday sparked engagement rumours
