Tyrique has footballer roots too, with his dad being Micah Anthony Hyde.
Micah took up football at a young age, playing alongside David Beckham in the Brimsdown Rovers youth team.
The former Premier League player retired from the game in 2012, before going into coaching.
Away from the pitch, some Love Island fans have been left convinced that Tyrique and Ella are on the rocks.
