Jessy Potts leaves country with Love Island star after Joey Essex split
Following the news of her split from Joey Essex earlier this week, Jessy Potts has headed off to Los Angeles for a trip with fellow Love Island star Lucinda Stratford. The reality star has struck up a friendship with Lucinda, who was on Love Island in 2021, over recent weeks and has been on a number of nights out with the star.
And this week, the pair swapped the UK for sunnier US climates as they headed across the pond for a trip with fashion brand Peppermayo. Jessy and Lucinda have been sharing a number of snaps to their respective Instagram accounts from the trip, even enjoying a trip to Disneyworld together while also sightseeing around the city. Posting a picture of Lucinda on the beach, Jessy captioned: "The most insane trip" as she reflected on a few days in the US.
It comes after Joey confirmed that he and Jessy have parted ways, after the couple fell for one another during this summer's series of Love Island. "Unfortunately, we have decided to call an end to the relationship but I hope we can continue to be friends," Joey revealed. "I truly wish Jessy the very best with whatever she does in the future."

Jessy also spoke to The Sun, expressing her appreciation for the time she spent with Joey in the villa, admitting they 'tried to make it work but it wasn't meant to be'. "I'm so grateful to everyone who supported us and look forward to all of the exciting opportunities ahead," she stated.
Just hours after confirming their break-up, Joey, 34, wasted no time in getting surrounded by female fans at a work event, starring as the 'guest of honour' for Iconic Bronze End of Summer launch party, alongside his cousin Chloe Sims.
Joey didn't appear to mind that he was surrounded by girls at the event, who all cosied up to the reality star for selfies. He shared a selection of the clips, where he can be seen swarmed by the ladies, with his 2 million followers.
Since their departure from the show, Joey and Jessy were noticeably absent from each other's lives, with Joey even jetting off to Ibiza while Jessy remained in Essex.
Despite spending significant time apart, leading some to label their relationship a "showmance", Joey was adamant last month that they were serious about their future together, even discussing children. "We both want a big family. But we're having a bit of a tiff at the moment. She wants four, I want eight. Imagine how great that would be? I'm ready. I'd do it tomorrow. Maybe even tonight," he shared recently.
