Jack appeared on the ITV2 show in July last year, leaving fans wondering whether his baby was conceived before he entered the villa.
One user commented: "I know I’m bad at maths, but the math ain’t mathing on this at all!!! Love Island isn’t even 9 months ago yet. I mean I know accidents happen but…."
"So did he have a gf when he was in Love Island correct me if I'm wrong it said he was in the villa 8 months ago and a baby takes 9 ?!" another asked.
Jack hasn't posted anything about being in a relationship and it is not known who the mother of his baby is.
