Made In Chelsea star Livvy Barker has confirmed her split from TikTok star Joel Evans after six months together, though the pair still went ahead with a pre-booked holiday to Spain despite the break-up. The 24-year-old reality star has since documented the awkward situation across a series of TikTok videos, even as hints emerge that the couple could be edging back towards each other.
Livvy and Joel are believed to have parted ways last month, with both stars subsequently wiping their social media pages of any trace of the relationship. Despite this, the former couple resurfaced together on Livvy’s TikTok this week, as she posted a run of videos poking fun at the situation. In one clip, she told the camera: “this is your sign to go on holiday with your ex,” before panning to show Joel, captioned simply “closure.” A separate video, titled “awks,” showed the pair uncomfortably sipping drinks together, captioned: “POV: you booked the holiday before you broke up.”
Signs of a possible reconciliation
Although neither has posted content featuring the other in recent weeks, their individual posts have continued to show them in the same locations, fuelling speculation that they may be rekindling their romance. Beyond the trip to Spain, both Livvy and Joel have shared posts from time spent in the countryside together, as well as a coastal getaway to Salcombe.
A messy split following a public ‘hard launch’
Reports suggest the pair split just weeks after going public with their relationship online. Livvy appeared to take a swipe at her ex in one now-deleted TikTok post, captioned: “There is no universe in which a man who dysregulates your nervous system & makes you question your worth is the love of your life btw x.” The clip saw her lip-syncing to Noah Kahan’s Willing and Able, which includes the lyrics: “I wish you could know me, I wish I could know you much more sometimes.”
From co-star flings to a settled relationship
Livvy first revealed she had a new boyfriend during the most recent series of Made In Chelsea. She originally joined the E4 show as the girlfriend of her ex, Jack Taylor, before going on to have flings with a couple of her co-stars. She later confirmed she had settled down with Joel, and the couple used their social media pages to document their relationship, including a photo booth strip of the pair cuddled up and sharing a kiss — content that has since been deleted along with the rest of their online history together.
Livvy had previously featured prominently on Joel’s own Instagram and TikTok accounts, where the couple shared vlogs offering a glimpse into their life together. Joel, who has around 65,000 followers on TikTok, typically posts content centred on his day-to-day life and his interest in health and fitness, including a shirtless video in which he told fans he was beginning his “summer cut.” During their relationship, the pair also shared posts from a romantic spa weekend, as well as various date nights around London.
A storyline years in the making
Livvy first spoke about her new relationship with Joel during an episode of Made In Chelsea alongside co-star Kit Paterson, whom she had previously dated. Her love life formed one of the central storylines of the show’s last series, after she ended things with Jack, 24, near the start of the season. Following that split, Livvy grew close to Kit and was also casually seeing Chuggs Wallis, a cast member who has featured on the show since September 2025 and who fans may recall also made a brief cameo appearance back in 2019. Livvy herself joined Made In Chelsea in March 2025, introduced during the premiere of series 29 as Jack’s girlfriend.
