MAFS Al Perkins has made a splash ever since he entered the Love Island villa, however, some mysterious comments from Brent Leon and his girlfriend suggest the reality star is dating someone outside of the show.

Reality gossip Instagram account The Wash shared a photo that Al had posted on October 14th that showed an AirBnB in Richmond set up with two glasses of wine upon check in. Interestingly, Al was actually spotted out in Melbourne with a mystery woman just hours before the pic was shared.

While the woman’s identity hasn’t been revealed yet, a few mysterious posts in the comments section suggest that her name is Ria Maric, and she’s a friend of Brent and his girlfriend Taylor Davey.

Taylor commented on the picture, “@ria_maric1 HAHAHAHAHA mystery woman you are.”

The comments appear to suggest that Ria was the woman staying with Al in the AirBnB. Furthermore, both Ria and Al currently follow each other on Instagram.

While Al is currently paired with Jess on Love Island, which is pre-recorded, their relationship has recently been showing cracks. Furthermore, earlier this month So Dramatic! reported that insiders confirmed that Al doesn’t last long in the villa.

On top of that, an unnamed source went on the publication’s podcast and said that she saw the upcoming Islander out and about at a nightclub mingling with “random girls”.

“Spotted Al at Electric Ladyland in Melbourne tonight,” the source wrote in a message to the show. “No photos because I didn’t want to be a weirdo.”

They added, “There was a random girl at the bar with bad extensions yelling questions at him about Dom and Ella. Definitely single vibes.

“He was just drinking and hanging out with random girls so kind of gives away the Love Island ending.”
