‘Love Island’: Are Toni Laites & Cach Mercer Still Together? Split Rumors, Explained
What To Know
- Toni Laites and Cach Mercer won Love Island Season 12 in 2025.
- Toni moved to London, and Cach had discussed marriage and future plans with Toni.
- Breakup rumors started in February 2026.
Toni Laites immediately caught Love Island fans’ attention as the show’s first-ever American bombshell, and her connection with Cacherel “Cach” Mercer took her all the way to first place (despite being in a pre-existing couple with Harrison Solomon when Cach arrived). Toni and Cach even said “I love you” before they left Season 12 together, each £25,000 richer.
Months after their win, Toni and Cach were still going strong, with the former moving to London to be closer to her boyfriend. “I want a ring!” Toni said when asked by Cosmopolitan about their future. “In all seriousness, we do need to travel. The seasonal depression is going to get to me. Personally, I just want to feel more comfortable living this whole new life.”
Cach, 24, even talked about marriage and kids with Toni, 25, in a live stream in February 2026, about six months after they met in the villa. So, why are breakup rumors all over the internet a few weeks later? Swooon has broken down Toni and Cach’s relationship status below.
Are Toni and Cach still together?
Toni and Cach’s latest outing was at the Brit Awards, which aired on February 28. The couple posted together on the red carpet — but The Sun reported that they got into a heated argument once they went inside.
“All of sudden things between Toni and Cach became pretty heated and they ended up in a full-blown argument around halfway through the ceremony,” the outlet claimed. “It got so bad that Cach left and didn’t return for the rest of the evening then they left separately.”
Afterward, the two only posted solo shots from the red carpet. Fans also noticed that they unfollowed each other on Instagram that same night. As of March 2, that still holds true.
The development comes mere weeks after Cach gave The Sun a relationship update at the TV Choice Awards.
“Things are amazing with Toni,” he began. “She has just moved into her new gaff now [in London]. We aren’t living together yet but I stay with her basically all the time. But we are basically transitioning and still figuring out the living situation. But we do plan to move-in with each other officially soon.”
