Love Island 2021 champions Millie Court and Liam Reardon split after four years of dating, Daily Mail revealed on Tuesday.
Just hours before their split was announced, the latest episode of their podcast Liam & Millie was released and saw the former couple address break-ups, divorce and prenups.
In the awkward chat that foreshadowed their split, Millie, 29, emotionally admitted 'people don't last forever' as she and Liam, 26, discussed high divorce rates.
Liam said: 'The divorce rate is so high, it's like the highest it's ever been, so more people will be signing prenups.'
Millie replied: 'I feel like, back in the day for our grandparents, divorces were frowned upon.
'My grandparents have been together since they were 16 and they don't believe in divorce or breaking up.

'But my parents, they were never married, but they didn't make it together and a lot of my friends' parents aren't together. We're in a generation where people don't last forever.'
The Daily Mail revealed the pair have gone their separate ways this summer after appearing to get their relationship back on track following a brief breakup in 2022.
However, insiders claim Welsh influencer Liam was the one to pull the plug on the romance, sparking Essex girl Millie to drown her sorrows on a girly holiday with pals.
The breakup is likely to spell the end for the pair's podcast, a collaboration with Sony Music which has aired since October 2024.
A source said: 'Liam and Millie tried to make it work but eventually it just wasn't meant to be.
'Nobody thought they were going to get back together after their initial split, so they've done well lasting this long - especially as their lives are based in Wales and Essex respectively.
'But Liam just wasn't feeling it towards the end and it was he who instigated the breakup. Millie is gutted but is being a trouper and getting on with life, supported by her girls.'
The Daily Mail approached Liam and Millie's representatives for comment.

Liam and Millie split their Love Island winnings 50/50 during the 2021 live final.
The pair beat fellow couples Chloe Burrows and Toby Aromolaran, Faye Winter and Teddy Soares and Kaz Kamwi and Tyler Cruickshank in the showpiece, watched by over three million viewers.
They stayed together for a year until splitting, which saw Liam take part in E4 show Celebs Go Dating and Millie embark on a rumoured romance with Gogglebox star George Baggs.
But the pair reconciled over Easter in 2023 after they were spotted on a romantic break in the Lake District.
An insider at the time told the Daily Mail: 'Millie and Liam have been talking again, but it's early days for them.
'They weren't expecting to get back together after their breakup was so painful for them both, but months have passed, and they still couldn't stop thinking about each other.
'Coming out of Love Island was a whirlwind and now they're just looking to take things slowly and see if they can rebuild their relationship, which may take some time.'
Their latest breakup comes as Millie openly 'hinted' she was ready for Liam to propose - after she showed him what type of engagement ring she would like.

Speaking to the Daily Mail in June, she said: 'He's the one in control of proposing and I've gave a little hint and showed him a ring that I would like.
'Not that it means he'll do it any time soon but I thought better he knows now so when he does decide to, in the future, he knows what ring I like.
'He also knows what I would like proposal-wise as well, so where it would be and stuff.'
Millie went onto say that the couple have been much happier in their relationship since 'doing long distance'.
She said: 'It's amazing, he lives in Wales now and I'm in Essex so we're doing long distance but it's actually working really well.
'We managed to get that time together where I'll come down to Wales for a week, he'll come down to Essex, and it's almost like it's working because the time that we have apart we can crack on with work and solely focus on that.
'Then when we're together we really look after our relationship and actually spend quality time together.'
