Love Island star Shaq Muhammad has assured viewers that he is transparent about his past, following allegations of infidelity during a vacation with his ex, Tanya Manhenga. The personal trainer, who is set to appear in the All Stars villa, expressed his willingness to address any questions regarding the breakup openly.
Shaq and Tanya, who finished fourth on the winter edition of Love Island in 2023, ended their one-year relationship in 2024, citing a mutual separation. Tanya grew suspicious after Shaq’s return from a trip to Miami with another former islander, Dami Hope.
Ahead of his return to the show, Shaq stated that he is untroubled by the prospect of his past being discussed by fellow islanders. He emphasized his commitment to honesty and openness when it comes to discussing previous relationships, aiming to start any new relationship without falsehoods.
Tanya previously revealed her suspicions about Shaq’s behavior upon his return from the trip. Shaq, however, denied any physical infidelity, admitting only to actions that crossed boundaries in the relationship. He clarified his stance on social media, emphasizing that he did not engage in any sexual activities with others.
Despite the past issues, Shaq mentioned that he and Tanya maintain an amicable relationship with no animosity between them. As he prepares for his second stint on Love Island, Shaq expressed his desire to find a lasting relationship, with aspirations for marriage and starting a family.
Love Island: All Stars is set to premiere on Monday at 9 pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
