LOVE Island star Tanya Manhenga has accused Shaq Muhammad of cheating on her while on holiday – but he’s already hit back.
Tanya and Shaq coupled up and came fourth on the winter series of Love Island in 2023, and dated for a year.
They announced their split in a joint statement shared on social media, simply declaring they had “parted ways” and “wish each other the best”.
However, in a new interview making the rounds online, Tanya shared that she called off their romance after he went on a lads holiday to Miami with fellow islander, Dami Hope.
“He comes back home, I think the day that I graduated from uni, and he comes to, like, the meal with my family. He came with flowers… but I took one look at him, and I knew something was off,” she explained to host Moses.
“I had a feeling in my stomach that something was like… I just knew it, he was acting very normal. Nothing was off. I just was like, something’s not right.
“I even texted my mom under the table, something’s wrong. And she was like, ‘Really, what?’ We need to go home.
“So we went home, get home. Now I’m like, oh, you know, questioning him. I’m like, I’m gonna ask you one time did you do anything while you were in America? He said no babe I didn’t do anything, and I said ‘ok can I have your phone?’
“The long story short is, everything was on the phone, guys. I was like, that was that.”
However, once the video started making the rounds on X (formerly Twitter), Shaq has spoken out, shutting down the speculation that he actually cheated on her, insisting he did ‘nothing sexual’.
Taking to TikTok, Shaq declared it would be ‘the one and only time he would address the situation’, and said: “I want to make something abundantly clear. I did not, while I was with Tanya, I did not have sex with anyone. I didn’t kiss anyone. I didn’t do anything sexual with anyone.”
“While I was in Miami and on holiday, I did certain things that disrespected her boundaries, and I can hold my hands up to that, but in terms of actually sleeping with someone or doing anything sexual, that never happened,” he added.
“Now, I’m man enough to admit my mistakes and where I gone wrong in a relationship or anything, but it’s not fair to villainise other people or bring them into my situation when they have literally nothing to do with it.”
Saying he’s ‘only ever had good things to say about her’, Shaq added that he ‘trains, goes to the gym and minds his business’.
He said: “What’s actually confusing as well is the fact that I thought that me and Tanya ended on good terms, that we’ve seen each other out, we’ve had conversations, we’ve been in the same setting, and it’s been cool. So it’s just a bit confusing for me.”
Revealing Tanya had given her a ‘heads up’ about the interview, he added: “I see a lot of people saying a lot of different things about I was in a relationship a couple months after me and Tanya broke up.
“I’m single right now, nearly a year later, I’m still single. Like, we’re actually all adults. We’re all adults. I’ve moved on. She’s clearly moved on.
“So I don’t understand why this is still being brought up. Like, can we please just find a new topic? Touch some grass, pray to God and let’s just move on.”
