Morgan

LOVE Island star Leah Taylor has quietly split from her England football ace boyfriend just weeks after they enjoyed a romantic trip to the Cotswolds.

The 29-year-old shared a whirlwind romance with Aston Villa midfielder Morgan Rogers.

After having been on a string of dates, the Love Island beauty soft launched their relationship while at the Cowley Manor Hotel, Cheltenham.

She shared an Instagram story of Morgan, 23, walking off in the distance.

The influencer captioned the post: “I like it here.”

But it now seems their relationship has come to an end, The Sun can reveal.

A source said: ” It’s all over and they’ve unfollowed each other.”

It appears to be quite the abrupt end to the pair’s relationship.

The couple kept their relationship almost entirely private and are said to have been seeing each other for roughly three months.

It’s understood Morgan wasn’t keen on being posted online, as a source close to the ace previously told us he wanted to keep the romance under wraps.

The source said: “It’s early days but they’re already getting close.

“They’ve been on a few dates and it’s going really well but it’s nothing serious yet.

“He wants to keep it under wraps, but Leah just couldn’t help herself.”

They added: “She has already posted a pic of Morgan from behind on Instagram — she’s due a bit of luck in love after her nightmare on Love Island.”

The social media marketer entered ITV2‘s Mallorca villa back in 2023, appearing on season 10 of the hit show.

She made waves as the brunette stunner entered as a bombshell on day eight.

Leah, who is best pals with TV personality Maura Higgins, originally coupled up with Tyrique Hyde, then Mitchel Taylor, before finding a stronger connection with Montel McKenzie.

The model remained loyal to Montel during the famed Casa Amour but it was later revealed he had shared a kiss with another bombshell, Tink.

They remained a strong couple despite the brutal snub and were dumped from the Island after being voted the “least compatible”.

It’s fair to say they didn’t last long on the outside, officially splitting just two weeks later.

Now all eyes will be on Leah to see if she will make a shock return to the All Stars villa in the wake of her break-up.

The star’s split with prem ace, Morgan, appears to have closely coincided with the show’s launch – which has now been pushed back due to raging wildfires in South Africa.

Morgan Stanley plans to launch ETFs tied to the price of Bitcoin and Solana, the first and sixth-largest crypto assets by market capitalisation respectively, according to a Form S-1 filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

This is the first time one of the ten largest US banks by total assets has formally moved to offer crypto ETFs.

An exchange-traded fund (ETF) is a basket of assets that trades on a stock exchange like a share, giving investors easy exposure to an index, sector or commodity without owning it directly.

Many investors favour gaining crypto exposure via ETFs because they are low-cost and convenient. They can also offer greater liquidity while removing the regulatory and logistical complications of holding and safeguarding the underlying assets directly.

However, in the two years since the SEC approved the first US-listed Bitcoin ETF, it has largely been asset managers rather than banks that have launched these products.

BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, said last December that its Bitcoin ETF suite had become the firm’s top revenue source, with allocations nearing $100 billion (€85bn) and generating more than $245 million (€210mn) in annual fees.

US banks, which have only acted as custodians of client funds until now, seem ready and eager to evolve as providers of crypto services in 2026.

Regulatory push under Trump

The current US administration has been notably favourable towards the crypto asset industry. President Donald Trump’s family launched a crypto platform, World Liberty Financial, just 50 days before the 2024 presidential election.

The company is managed by Trump’s two eldest sons, Donald Jr and Eric Trump, and alongside another firm, Trump Media and Technology Group, it has expanded the US President’s personal crypto ventures.

In parallel to these private interests, the current US administration has made a major regulatory push encouraging Wall Street to fully embrace crypto assets.

In July 2025, Trump signed the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins Act (GENIUS Act) into law, creating a comprehensive regulatory framework for stablecoins. These are crypto assets designed to maintain a stable value by pegging their worth to a real-world asset, typically a fiat currency such as the US dollar.

That same month, the Crypto Legal Accountability, Registration and Transparency for Investors Act (CLARITY Act) was approved in the US Congress. It is now moving through the US Senate and is expected to pass on 15 January 2026.

The CLARITY Act is a landmark legislation intended to end the long-standing era of “regulation by enforcement” that has weighed on US crypto firms for years.

In September 2025, the SEC also revamped listing rules for new commodities ETFs, including those tied to crypto assets, clearing the way for firms to bring more financial products to market.

The shift helped spur Morgan Stanley to broaden client access to crypto investments in October 2025, and it has now filed with the SEC to offer crypto ETFs directly.

At the start of 2026, Bank of America also began allowing its wealth advisers to recommend crypto allocations in client portfolios, another sign of growing adoption of crypto assets among major US banks.

What this means for the EU

This development in the US banking sector and the crypto industry is not only significant for Wall Street, but also has direct implications for European investors.

US-listed ETFs are typically not available to European retail investors because they do not meet EU requirements under the Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities (UCITS) regime.

Morgan Stanley has been expanding its footprint in the European ETF market since entering the space in 2023, and has been building the infrastructure needed to launch EU-compliant versions of these funds.

While Europe has yet to see a UCITS-compliant spot crypto ETF, major platforms such as Coinbase, one of the world’s largest crypto asset exchanges, are partnering with financial institutions, including Morgan Stanley, to enable crypto ETF trading in Europe this year.

Together, they aim to comply not only with UCITS, but also with the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) rules, which require firms to hold a Crypto-Asset Service Provider (CASP) licence.

Morgan Stanley’s leap indicates that for Wall Street, crypto is no longer a reputational risk to avoid, but a revenue stream they can no longer afford to ignore.
