THE mother of Luis Morrison's baby son claims her Love Island star ex owes her thousands of pounds in child maintenance after abandoning their family.
Chloe Elizabeth, 24, says Romeo, who is two years old in March, is now likely to see Luis more on TV than he has in real life - having “only met him a few times”.
The reality star hasn't paid Romeo's child support since July 2023 and is now in arrears.
He is being investigated to establish why payments have not been made.
Meanwhile last night Luis, 29, told viewers: "I've changed a lot since Love Island. I'm honestly the most proud dad."
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Chloe slammed her "toxic" ex following his telly comeback.
"Luis has two kids who he rarely supports, but you can see his lifestyle online," she said.
"He's on lovely holidays, drives a nice car, lives in a nice house in a nice area, wearing his designer clothes yet he hasn't given Romeo any money or support for most of his life.
"It blows my mind to think if Luis appears in just ten episodes of this series, then Romeo's seen his dad more on TV than he has in person."
Commenting on the situation before entering the villa, Luis said: "Out of respect for my children and their mothers, I do not wish to discuss personal matters publicly."
Series one star Luis returns to the villa for the Love Island All Stars launch - nine years after he reached the final with ex-girlfriend Cally Jane Beech.
The pair went on to have Love Island's first baby - a daughter called Vienna - but their relationship ended after being dogged by cheating allegations.
His next serious relationship was with Chloe, who met Luis when she was 20.
She accidentally fell pregnant a year later and gave birth prematurely at 28 weeks, with Romeo then on life-support for more than two months.
The tiny baby’s health was so bad, Romeo 'died' six times in one night when he stopped breathing.
Chloe says: "You'd think that's the time where parents step up and are there for their kids…
“In my opinion he’s not a great father figure to his own son, never mind a role model for any young boy.
"I'm still kind of in disbelief."
Chloe says that she battled post-natal depression and PTSD caused by the premature birth.
Despite ending their relationship, Chloe encouraged Luis to spend time with Romeo, but these days their contact is minimal.
Chloe says they haven't spoken since before Christmas and claims that Luis failed to see Romeo or give him a present. Chloe had no idea he was preparing to fly out to South Africa to be on Love Island All Stars.
"Seeing Luis on Love Island has brought up some very painful memories", she added.
"No one from ITV has spoken to the mother of his children who don't know where their dad is and won't see or hear from him for five weeks.
"It’s a shame that ITV have given someone like that an opportunity to be a role model to other young people.”
An ITV source said: “All Islanders undergo extensive checks before being considered for the show and prior to entering the villa all participants complete video training and guidance across a range of topics to include mutually respectful behaviour in relationships.”
