Status: Broken up.

Jessica Hayes and Max Morley won Love Island UK‘s debut season of the revamped version, but their relationship sadly didn’t last—they broke up just six weeks after leaving the villa. Later, they would reveal the reasons for their split.

“When you’re on Love Island, you’re in that bubble and you think you’re right for each other, and then you come out and realize you’re not,” Jess told The Sun at the time. “The schedules are just crazy and it doesn’t work because of the distance.” She continued, “Max’s management at the time was very pushy, and they wanted him to act single. And then I remember he had that little relationship with Charlotte Crosby.”

Nathan Massey and Cara De La Hoyde (Season 2)

Status: Still together.

Nathan and Cara coupled up on day one of Love Island U.K. Season 2 and went on to win the whole season after never coupling up with anyone else. They got engaged in 2018 after a return to the Love Island U.K. villa, where Nathan surprised Cara with a treasure hunt and a proposal. “I brought her back to where we met and took her on a little treasure hunt around the villa to different places, which meant something to us,” Nathan told OK! in a past interview. “Finally, I blindfolded her, led her to the pool, and got down on one knee.”

They got married in June 2019 and went on to have two kids: son Freddie-George, who was born in 2017, and daughter Delilah, who was born in 2020.

Alex Bowen and Olivia Buckland (Season 2)

Status: Still together.

Alex and Olivia are the first Love Island U.K. couple to tie the knot. Olivia, an original islander on Love Island U.K. Season 2, had a tumultuous journey in the villa, with her searching high and low for her mate until Alex entered the villa on day 18. The duo coupled up on day 20 and stayed together until the Season 2 finale, where they were announced as the runners-up.

Four months after leaving the villa, Alex bought an engagement ring and the two got married in September 2017 in Essex. The duo married in September 2017 in Essex after Bowen bought the engagement ring four months after they left the villa.

“I looked in this shop window and saw a ring similar to the one that she wanted, and I literally just said to my best friend, ‘I’m going to Venice next year. I’m going to pop the question,’ and he was like, ‘You go to New York in three months, just do it then.’ So, I did!” Alex shared in a past interview on the White Wine Question Time podcast. The couple welcomed their first child, a son named Abel Jacob, in June 2022.

Kem Cetinay and Amber Davies (Season 3)

Status: Broken up.

Amber and Kem were the winners of season 3, but they broke up around 6 months after leaving the villa. “With sadness, we’ve decided to separate. Our schedules made it difficult. We’ll remain good friends,” they said in a statement shared in 2018.

“They’ve been at each other’s necks for the past month,” a source close to the couple told The Sun at the time. “They’ve clashed over the smallest things. It’s also been very hard for them to see each other with their hectic schedules.”

Status: Still together.

In Love Island U.K. Season 3, fans watched Camilla, an original islander, kiss frog after frog until Jamie entered the villa on day 32 and thus began one of the best love stories in Love Island history. The duo coupled up on day 34 and finished as the runners-up of Season 3. They officially married in September 2021 and went on to welcome three children: daughter Nell Sophia, born in 2020; daughter Nora Belle, born in 2022; and son Brodie, born in 2024.

Dom Lever and Jess Shears (Season 3)

Status: Still together.

Dom and Jess’ short romance on Love Island U.K. Season 3 wasn’t indicative of their love story to come. The couple, who were both original islanders, were victims of Love Island U.K.’s surprise dumpings, which resulted in Jess’ unexpected elimination on day 17 while still coupled up with Dom.

Dom decided to stay on Love Island U.K. and not leave the villa. He was later eliminated on day 28. Once on the outside, Dom and Jess immediately reconnected and got back together. The couple wed in Mykonos in October 2018 before welcoming two sons, born in 2020 and 2022.

Jack Fincham and Dani Dyer (Season 4)

Status: Broken up.

Jack Fincham and Dani Dyer were the winners of Love Island UK season 4. They did try to make it work but after six months, everything fell apart. As of July 2024, Dani is engaged to soccer player Jarrod Bowen, while Jack is dating TOWIE star Chloe Brockett.

Status: Broken up.

Tommy and Molly-Mae are perhaps one of Love Island U.K.‘s most popular success stories—until they weren’t. Tommy, an original islander, and Molly-Mae met when Molly-Mae entered the villa on day 4 as a bombshell, stealing Tommy’s attention from his previous partner, Lucie Donlan. After a brief love triangle with fellow islander Maura Higgins, the couple made their relationship official with a teddy bear and a love note from Tommy asking Molly-Mae to be his girlfriend at the end of the season.

The couple finished Love Island U.K. Season 5 in second place before starting their lives in the real world together in Manchester, England. The pair purchased their first home together in March 2022 before welcoming their first child, a daughter named Bambi, in January 2023 and getting engaged in July 2023.

Hague opened up about their wedding plans in a video on her YouTube channel 2024. “We’re currently in the talks of looking for a church to get married at, because we definitely do want to get married in the UK in a traditional Catholic Church,” she said.

Then, in August 2024, Molly-Mae broke off their engagement amid rumors Tommy was cheating on her. “This is real life and it’s very sad and it’s very deep and it just doesn’t feel right for me to come on here and talk about it,” she said. “I think it’s important to deal with it privately, also out of respect to Tommy as well because it’s just not nice. I feel like everything over the last couple of weeks has really been a lot.”

Amber Gill and Greg O’Shea (Season 5)

Status: Broken up.

Amber and Gregg, winners of Love Island UK season 5, split up just weeks after leaving the villa and he faced serious backlash for how he did it: via text and the screenshots went viral. But Greg said there was more to the story.

“People kind of got the wrong story. They just saw, ‘Greg breaks up with Amber over text,’” he told GossChats in 2020. “There was so much more to it. We were in person, we were FaceTiming, there was phone calls, back and forth, and then just one thing comes out.”

Status: Broken up.

Paige and Finn, winners of season 6 of Love Island UK, called it quits in April 2023. “Paige and Finn had a really good run, but they are still super young and decided it wasn’t forever in the end,” a source told The Sun at the time.

“We’re still really good friends… I think we drifted apart. We did lockdown together and any and every struggle we could have faced, we were faced with,” she said during Love Island: After Sun. As yet, Finn hasn’t commented on their split.

Status: Still together.

Millie and Liam can’t seem to stay away from each other since leaving the villa. Liam entered the villa as a bombshell on day four before Millie followed him on day 9. They coupled up on day 14 and stayed together until the Love Island U.K. Season 7 finale, where they were announced as the winners. Weeks before their win, however, Casa Amor reared its ugly head, as expected, and caused episodes’ worth of drama for Millie and Liam after Liam spent his time in Casa Amor getting familiar with other bombshells before returning to the main villa alone. Though he and Millie recoupled at the first recoupling following Casa Amor, his secret shenanigans were exposed and later forgiven after a heartfelt apology.

The couple continued their relationship outside the villa for several before announcing their split on Instagram with a joint post in July 2022.”To avoid any speculation, Liam and I wanted to share with you that we have separated,” Millie said. It’s been a tough decision, and I am gutted, but it’s ultimately what is best for us right now,” they said at the time.

The pair rekindled their relationship in August 2023, subtly posting each other to socials again. In an interview with Heatworld in July 2024, Millie spoke about their time apart and how it bettered their relationship. “Coming out of Love Island was a massive life change,” Millie said. “I think getting to grips with that new life, on our own, helped us be able to find ourselves in this new life and new career. When we came back together, we’d got to grips with things and could focus on each other more this time around.”

Indiyah Polack and Dami Hope (Season 8)

Status: Still together.

The Season 8 recoupling after Casa Amor couldn’t have prepared us for this relationship. Both Dami and Indiyah, who were original islanders who first coupled up on day 18, recoupled with other bombshells, which led to one of the most tense recouplings in the franchise’s history. Dami recoupled with Summer, while Indiyah recoupled with Deji. Luckily, the couple found their way back to each other and recoupled on day 38. They stayed together until the Love Island U.K. Season 8 finale, where they finished in third place.

Dami and Indiyah now share a flat in London and often chronicle their relationship on TikTok and Instagram. The couple celebrated their second anniversary in July 2024 in Mallorca with a joint Instagram post captioned: “The heartbreakers won” — a call back to the Casa Amor recoupling that almost ended their relationship.

Status: Still together.

Casa Amor couldn’t keep these two apart despite Andrew’s infamous lick with bombshell Coco Lodge. Amidst doubts from viewers and fellow islanders alike, Tasha and Andrew, who were both original islanders and coupled up on day one, survived the series’ ultimate test, leaving the villa in fourth place as boyfriend and girlfriend. Post-Love Island U.K., the couple are still going strong and share snippets of their life on Tasha podcast, Superpowers with Tasha. In February 2024, the couple shared news of their new home and the upcoming remodeling they plan to embark on together with the help of their adopted dog, Luna.

She continued, “Unfortunately, I have recently made the decision to end our relationship and to go our separate ways. Breakups are never easy for any couple, and we hope that our privacy will be respected at this time.”

Davide then posted his statement in response: “Life sometimes reserves surprises and suddenly wakes you up. Ekin and I, just after the ski holidays, decided to go different ways. It was a joint decision but I was waiting to make it public to respect her time in the show [The Traitors]. I don’t know why the agreed statement changed last minute,” he wrote.

When bombshell Jessie entered the villa on day seven and stole original islander farmer Will’s heart on Love Island U.K. Season 9, an audible “aww” was heard from viewers around the world. While this sweet love story didn’t make it to the finale (Jessie and Will were eliminated on day 56), the duo made their relationship work outside the villa. The pair’s Love Island journey wasn’t easy, with many ups and downs. However, when the couple left the villa, both confessed their love for each other before Jessie asked Will to be her boyfriend.

According to their social media, the couple is going strong. Since leaving the villa, they’ve share social media posts of their vacations and Jessie’s visits to Will’s farm.

Status: Still together.

While Whitney and Lochan finished second placed behind Jess and Sammy on Season 10 of Love Island U.K., they may as well have been voted as the U.K.’s favorite couple based on how far they’ve come sice leaving the villa. Whitney, who entered on day 3, and Lochan, who entered on day 26, coupled up following Casa Amor on day 31 days after Whitney’s previous partner, Mehdi, was voted out of the villa. After leaving Love Island U.K., the couple made it official as boyfriend and girlfriend, with Lochan posting a TikTok video in 2023 sharing the news. “Cheers to our second week out of the villa,” Lochan said to Whitney in the video. “Your favourite dinner made by the one and only. And to you being my girlfriend. Hashtag winning!”

As of writing, the couple is still together and frequently appears on each other’s social media, including Lochan’s YouTube cooking show, “Loch’d in the Kitchen.”

Status: Still together.

Molly and Zach are no strangers to relationship woes. The fourth-place finalists of Love Island U.K. Season 10 have experienced their fair share of challenges inside and outside of the villa. The duo faced a rocky villa romance when Molly, an original islander, was dumped from the island on day 19 after bombshell Kady McDermott coupled up with Zach, another original islander. However, when Molly re-entered the villa through Casa Amor on day 27, the couple quickly got back together business as usual.

After Love Island U.K. Season 10, the pair briefly broke up, sharing an official announcement on Instagram in March 2024. They were spotted together again a few months later in May 2024. Since then, the couple has been going strong and appeared on an episode of 2024’s Love Island After Sun.

Status: Broken up.

While declared the winners of Love Island UK in season 10, Sammy and Jess split up just two months after winning the prize money, as their “relationship changed since leaving the villa,” he told Daily Mail. “I think what a lot of people don’t understand is that you are going from a sheltered villa with around 10 people in it, to the whole world in your ear. You receive messages, people talk about you, people make up things and get involved.”

Josh Ritchie and Sophie Piper (Love Island: All-Stars)

Status: Still together.

Josh and Sophie coupled up in the first week of the first season of Love Island: All-Stars, a spin-off of Love Island U.K. (Josh entered on day 4, while Sophie entered on day 10.)

Following their season, the couple continued their relationship outside the villa. The couple shared their official relationship status with an Instagram Story in 2024 showing a hotel room covered in rose petals with “Will you be my GF?” spelled out. The pair’s Instagram accounts also feature plenty of loved-up vacation pictures of the couple.

“[We’re] really good, really good. Yeah, we’re just in a bit of a love bubble at the moment. It’s nice being on the outside world and obviously getting to do normal life with each other,” Sophie told The Mirror in 2024.

Status: Still together.

Molly, the bombshell of all bombshells, entered the Love Island: All-Stars villa on day 37 recovering from a broken heart following her split from her Season 6 ex, Callum Jones.

Talk about a slow burn. Uma and Wil exited the Love Island U.K. villa hand in hand after a public vote left Wil vulnerable and ultimately dumped from the island. In a dramatic turn of events, in a fit of tears, Uma, who entered on day 3, decided to leave the villa with Wil, who entered on day 12. Since leaving the villa on day 37, the duo have shared plenty of photos with each other on their Instagram accounts. Uma also explained their inside “blueberries” joke from inside the villa.

“When we first had the night away, in the other villa, where Wil chose me,” Uma told HeatWorld. “He was saying his mum always has blueberries in the fridge, and how he loves to eat blueberries.”

“And then I said, ‘Oh my God, your eyes look like blueberries.’ And then we just started eating blueberries together and playing games—chucking them up and throwing them. It was a proper big thing, which is why I call him my blueberry.”

The exclusive duo left the island on day 55 after their fellow islanders from dumpings past re-entered the villa and voted for the least compatible couple.

In their final interview on Love Island U.K. Season 11, Jessy reflected on her time with Joey. “Joey is the most kindhearted person, and whether or not that translates because he often gets himself into trouble, he is very caring, kind, and thoughtful,” Jessy said. “I could see past the persona, and I like him for who he is, which is all that matters to me.”

Nicole and Ciaran made their relationship exclusive early on and become boyfriend and girlfriend before Casa Amor was underway, confessing their love prior the finale. Despite Nicole’s trust issues, the pair made it to the final four and, ultimately, came in second place in Season 11.

When looking to the future after Love Island, Nicole said in the finale, “We are going to take my dog Bonnie for a walk; he needs to pass the Bonnie test.” Ciaran added, “One of the main things I want to do is go to a really nice restaurant and have a nice steak dinner. I’m looking forward to a holiday as well. We did say Croatia for that. I don’t know why, but I’ve been told it’s really nice.”

Status: Still together.
