Love Island enthusiasts have been actively discussing Hugo Hammond’s romantic life, especially his new relationship with Love Island Australia star Layla Ruby John. The 26-year-old former Love Island contestant, who struggled to find love during the 2021 series, went public with Layla on social media about nine months ago. While the exact duration of their relationship remains unknown, the couple has been enjoying their time together, including exotic trips.
However, fans have noted a striking resemblance between Layla and one of Hugo’s former co-stars, Chloe Burrows, from the 2021 series. Hugo had expressed interest in Chloe during season seven, describing her as his “exact type on paper.” Unfortunately, Chloe was more interested in Toby Aromolaran, who is now on the new All Stars series with Georgia Steel, leading to Hugo being rejected.
This resemblance has not gone unnoticed on Hugo’s Instagram, where fans frequently comment on the similarities between Layla and Chloe. Posts featuring Layla often prompt followers to do a double-take, mistaking her for Chloe. For instance, a top commenter on a recent post of Hugo’s birthday celebrations wrote, “Why did I think that this was Chloe from Love Island. I think that’s the show and I think that’s her name lol,” echoed by others noting the same initial confusion.
The trend continued when Hugo posted a romantic picture with Layla in front of the Eiffel Tower, attracting comments about Chloe again. One person remarked, “It looks like Chloe from the other season of Love Island,” while another added, “He always wanted Chloe. Looks like he’s found her double instead.”
In July 2022, Hugo ended his relationship with his then-girlfriend, GB athlete Molly Wilkins, amid cheating allegations. Following the official announcement of their split, they unfollowed each other on social media. Hugo later moved to Melbourne, Australia, where he opened a “new chapter” in his life, leading to his blossoming romance with Layla.
