Three weeks into Love Island 2026 and one Islander is dominating conversations both inside and outside the villa. Jasmine Müller has been delivering main character energy since day one, and now a game of Never Have I Ever has pulled her famous ex into the spotlight. Here is everything you need to know about Jasmine, from who she is to the Premier League footballer she once dated.

Who Is Jasmine Müller?

Jasmine Müller is a 27-year-old fashion business owner and content creator currently appearing on Love Island 2026, the 13th series of the ITV2 dating show. She entered the villa on day one and has remained one of the most talked-about Islanders of the series.

What Is Jasmine’s Job?

Jasmine runs her own fashion business and works as a content creator, sharing fashion inspiration across her social media platforms. She has attended high-profile events including The Fashion Awards and has built a public-facing career online since the age of 19.

What Has Jasmine Been Up to in the Villa?

Since entering Love Island 2026, Jasmine has found herself at the center of a love triangle involving Lorenzo, who she was originally paired with on day one, and Kavan, who she is currently coupled up with. However, it is her personality rather than her romantic storylines that has generated the most attention.

Viewers have praised her for calling out Islanders who suggested that a woman having opinions is a red flag, and for consistently supporting her friends inside the villa. Her outspoken, confident approach has made her one of the most memorable contestants of the series so far.

Has Jasmine Been on TV Before?

Yes. Back in 2018, Jasmine appeared on a YouTube-TV fashion and beauty series called Nayva, produced by Kyra TV. The show featured Jasmine alongside three other women named Angel, Esme and Faith. All episodes of Nayva are still available to watch on YouTube. The show came to an end in 2020 as a result of the pandemic.

Who Is Jasmine’s Famous Ex-Boyfriend?

During a recent game of Never Have I Ever in the villa, a card reading “never have I ever dated a celebrity” came up. Jasmine drank, along with several other Islanders, but kept her answer brief, only confirming that her ex was a Premier League footballer and that she is “very private about it.”

However, the identity of her ex is not exactly a mystery. Jasmine previously dated Spanish footballer Hector Bellerin, with the pair sharing photographs together in 2021, when Bellerin was playing for Arsenal.

Who Is Hector Bellerin?

Hector Bellerin is a professional Spanish footballer born on 19 March 1995 in Badalona, Spain. He is currently 31 years old. Here is a quick profile:

Former ClubArsenal (joined 2011)
Current ClubReal Betis (La Liga)
Also Known ForEnvironmental activism and veganism

Bellerin began his footballing career at Barcelona before joining Arsenal in 2011, where he went on to become a prominent first-team player. He now plays for Real Betis in Spain’s La Liga.

Beyond football, Bellerin is well known for his commitment to environmental causes and has been vegan since 2016, having changed his diet for health reasons. He has spoken openly about how a plant-based diet helps with muscle recovery and has stated that “sustainability of the environment and animal cruelty” motivate him just as much as his health.

Notably, Jasmine is also vegan, which gave the pair an extra layer of shared values during their relationship.

Why Did Jasmine and Hector Bellerin Break Up?

The exact reasons for the split have not been confirmed by either party. However, Jasmine has said the relationship ended somewhere around 2021, which aligns with her comment on the show that she has been single for five years.

Speaking before entering the villa, Jasmine described their relationship in positive terms. She told publications including OK! that she has “a lot of time” for her ex, saying: “There’s not really any drama or anything interesting to say about it because we both just have a lot of love for each other. It was a healthy and lovely relationship.”

She also acknowledged that the experience of dating someone in the public eye prepared her in some ways: “I suppose it did prepare me a little for high profile things. I’ve been in the public eye with an online job since I was like 19.”

The pair still follow each other on Instagram, and Jasmine has made it clear she has no negative feelings about the relationship. She added that she is “really excited to hopefully find something again, and something really exciting and honest,” which is exactly the energy she has carried into the villa.

What Is Jasmine’s Type?

Jasmine summed up her ideal partner in her villa intro interview: “Objectively hot, really charismatic, and confident.” On the flip side, she was equally direct about what puts her off: “An insecure man. I don’t think insecure men could handle me. I pick up on insecurity straight away, and it just wouldn’t end well.”
