Love Island All-Star Arabella Chi and Wes Nelson Split: The Inside Story
Love Island All-Stars bombshell Arabella Chi was previously romantically involved with Wes Nelson.
The stunning couple, with Arabella Chi aged 21 at the time and Wes Nelson aged 28, sparked love in July 2019 after getting close during a series of intimate dinners. They quickly became inseparable and embarked on a series of luxurious holidays together, from the mesmerizing Maldives to the famous party island of Ibiza.
Their relationship seemed to be flourishing, and within just three months, they took a leap of faith and moved in together, proving the depth of their commitment. In a heartfelt Instagram post on Wes’ birthday, Arabella expressed her love and admiration for him, stating, ‘You deserve a medal @wes.nelson. You really do get me, and I love you.’
Despite the challenges of the Covid pandemic, the couple appeared to weather the storm, spending quality time together in isolation. Wes later shared in an interview that they managed to maintain their routine of staying fit with daily exercise, going on runs, and walks with their dog. Arabella echoed his sentiments, emphasizing the importance of relishing the moment in their otherwise fast-paced industry.
However, in April 2020, news broke that Wes had moved out of their shared home, marking the end of their relationship. Sources close to them revealed that they had grown apart, and the six-year age gap had become more noticeable, ultimately fizzling out their romance. The couple, however, wished to remain amicable and maintain their friendship.
Wes Nelson initially rose to fame as a contestant on Season 4 of Love Island in 2018, where he found love with Megan Barton-Hanson. Although they ended up in fourth place, their romance was short-lived, and they announced their separation in January 2019. Arabella Chi, on the other hand, joined the Love Island villa in Season 5 in 2019. Her connection with model Danny Williams was cut short when she was unexpectedly voted out by her fellow contestants after just eight days.
Wes Nelson has had a successful career post-Love Island, achieving millionaire status by the age of 21 through wise investments and his involvement in various reality TV shows such as Dancing On Ice and Celebrity X Factor. As of February 2024, his estimated net worth stands at £2.1 million.
