The 'Love Island' star insisted the 25-year-old paramedic "deserves better" than the 26-year-old star.
She told Mirror Online: "It's over. It's done.
"I think Paige can do better, that's all I can say."
Ekin-Su believes 'Love Island' stars' "real relationships" begin when they leave the villa, admitting she has grown even closer to Davide Sanclimenti, who she won the ITV2 dating show with earlier this summer.
She added: "I just think it's wrong, you know. This is my point of view in couples; when you come out of Love Island you are pressured, in a way, to stay together.
"Your real relationship starts when you are out of the villa. My feelings for Davide grew stronger out of the villa – same with him because I saw him out in the real world. We spend time together, I see him in different environments, we're always challenged.
"'Love Island' is a bubble, it's almost like a different world – it's not real. But, when you come out and get ... Men will love the attention when they come out, it's overwhelming but, Adam's already had that. So I just felt it was a bit wrong."
Ekin-Su's comments come after speculation that Adam and Paige had gone their separate ways came after a video of him putting his arm around a woman in McDonald's went viral.
But the woman later insisted he was just chatting to her and did "literally nothing wrong".
Adam and Paige got together in the villa this summer when he entered the show, for a second time, as a bombshell.
