Love Island’s Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu reveals she lost friends after appearing on show
Love Island star Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu has just got candid about losing some of her friends following her triumphant return to the UK from the villa last year.
The 28 year old, who won the eighth series in August 2022 with her now boyfriend, Davide Sanclimenti, looks to have the picture perfect life from an outsider’s perspective.
From millions of Instagram followers to brand sponsorships and deals to luxury getaways, Ekin-Su has recently opened up about her reality, and how her fame has come at a cost.
Speaking to Cosmopolitan in a new interview, “TV's undisputed main character” admitted that she has “lost every friend” she had.
“I don’t have any friends. I have one friend and that’s it,” she confessed.
Ekin-Su then went on to talk about how some of the people close to her changed as soon as she was catapulted into the spotlight.
“Unfortunately, with the fame, you see people’s true colours. People just want to be your friend because of your status and it’s a hard industry to trust,” she said.
"People I’d known for 10 years who were in my life… selling stories is not very nice. I wouldn’t do that to someone.”
"If they were happy, I would support them. Unfortunately, I had that coming out of the villa and I had to delete people out of my life,” the star continued.
But in spite of these lost friendships, Ekin-Su insisted that she’s “happier this way.”
"Sometimes keeping your circle small is the best, and you don’t always need friends,” she added.
