Casa Amor girl Emma Milton was behind former Love Island couple’s bitter split after show star ‘found messages’
CASA Amor bombshell Emma Milton has history with a second Love Island star – playing a role in the break-up of a legendary villa couple, it has now been claimed.
The ring girl and model, 30, has declared that she had a “brief thing” with Joey Essex a few years ago but The Sun can reveal another link.
Emma is said to be the “other woman” at the heart of Teddy Soares and Faye Wynter’s relationship issues after Faye found messages from her on Teddy’s phone.
Both of the couple, who made the final in 2021 after a rollercoaster journey, have discussed the incident which completely broke down their trust.
But until now the woman behind the messages remained unknown.
There is no suggestion anything physical happened between Teddy and Emma.
A source said: “Faye and Teddy have both discussed how she found messages on his phone with another girl and that she struggled to deal with it.
“Emma was that girl.
“It’ll be hurtful for Faye to watch Emma now looking for love on the same show where she thought she’d found her own happy ever after.”
But a friend close to Emma said: “Nothing romantic or flirtatious ever took place between Emma and Teddy.”
Despite their fiery connection in the villa, the couple went from strength to strength when they arrived home and moved in together in November 2021.
However, after weeks of speculation, Faye announced she’d split from Teddy in February 2023.
In March this year Teddy spoke about when Faye found the messages on his podcast.
He said: “My partner at the time had gone through my phone, found that message and had a problem with me messaging that person.
“And at the time I thought to myself, is this just because I’ve messaged someone who my partner thinks is a good looking person, thinks is really pretty. Is this an ego thing?
“Or is this a situation where genuinely, in my partner’s heart of hearts, they don’t like the fact I’ve just messaged another female. I was trying to find the distinction between the two.
“And then I got to a point in my mind where I was like, it doesn’t matter that she went through my phone, it doesn’t matter that this person is displaying jealousy, it doesn’t matter I think I’ve just been completely harmless, what matter is I’ve done something wrong in this person’s eyes.”
In April last year Faye namedropped an “Emma” while discussing the incident, too.
In a podcast discussion with Toby Aromolaran, she said: “We’re playing Guess Who, and I say ‘we’re not having Emma in your deck of cards’.”
Toby asked: “Why?”
Faye added: “Because I’ve been on the phone slyly and I’ve seen her.”
Emma has discussed her relationship with Joey before arriving in Casa Amor, with her first scenes on screen tonight.
She said: “I had a brief thing with Joey a few years ago.
“We’ve been friends for years and I would be open to reconnecting with Joey.
“We get on really well and we have a lot of mutual friends.
“I am also friends with Grace in Manchester, so it’s a little bit awkward.”
She added: “I have travelled around the world, I have partied, I’ve been crazy but I feel like now I am at a stage in my life where I’m ready to find someone.”
