Dumped Love Islanders Charlie Brake and Ellie Brown have been official for less than a month – and they’re already struggling to agree on their future.

The couple were booted off of Love Island after receiving the fewest public votes and Brown quickly moved in to her billionaire boyfriend’s London home, with the couple introducing each other to their parents.

But Brake, who is heir to a £2 billion fortune, is not as keen as Brown to take the next step and awkwardly shunned any suggestion of marriage during an interview with The Sun.

“I’m not into the whole marriage thing if you want to be with someone you don’t need a piece of paper,” Brake said.

A concerned Brown asked: “But we are going to get married?”

Brake replied: “We’ll see.”

The couple also struggled to agree on when to have children with Brake telling Brown not to “put words in my mouth” after she insisted he has been broody.

“I have said before I want to be a younger dad some of my family were youngish dads and I sort of see them having a better relationship with their children,” he said.

Brown added: “He wants a baby.”

Shutting down her comment, Brake replied: “No, not now.”

The couple did agree that life outside of the villa is easier than their time on the show as they were faced with challenges intent on rocking their romance and were living with multiple people.

Brown said: “To people it sounds a lot but we’ve lived in a villa with 12 other people on a show that’s constantly trying to test our relationship, so us living together now is the easiest thing in the world.”
