Which Love Island couples are STILL each other’s types on paper? From Olivia and Alex Bowen’s marital bliss to Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury’s rocky road back to each other

Love Island really has proved to be just that, so far leading to four marriages and eight children.

Series two saw some of the show’s biggest success stories, including Olivia and Alex Bowen, who wed five years ago and have since welcomed one child with another on the way.

Winners of that series Nathan Mᴀssey and Cara De La Hoyde have also stayed strong and are happily married with two kids, meanwhile series three spouses Camilla Thurlow and Jamie Jewitt have three children.

Thought to be the ITV dating show’s ultimate power, Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury went from strength to strength welcoming their first child and getting engaged.

They devastated fans last summer as they announced their shock split last summer – but they have recently rekindled their romance. 

Meanwhile another marriage could soon be added to the tally as winter 2023 winners Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan are set to tie the knot later this year. 

So which couples are still together? MailOnline takes a look at the Love Island romances still going strong…

Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury 

Series 5, 2019

Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury met on series five of Love Island in 2019, finishing in second place.

The Maebe creator and the boxer became official just weeks after their first villa date and moved in together in Manchester a month after landing back in the UK in 2019.

The couple went from strength to strength after leaving the villa and welcomed their first child, two-year-old Bambi, in January 2023 before getting engaged that July.

However Molly-Mae left fans in utter shock last summer when she announced that she and Tommy had separated after five years together.

In a statement posted to her 8.5million Instagram followers, Molly confirmed the breakup, saying: ‘I never imagined our story would end, especially not this way.’

Tommy denied continued speculation about him cheating during a magazine interview, insisting any reports about him being with other women were ‘complete and utter b*****ks.’

Later in her Behind It All documentary, Molly-Mae discussed how Tommy’s drinking had been a huge factor in their split.

The pair very publicly navigated co-parenting their daughter Bambi for months, with Tommy often seen outside Molly-Mae’s home. 

But the internet was again sent into meltdown in December when a video seemingly showing Tommy and Molly-Mae kissing on New Year’s Eve went viral – a clip which she later spoke about in her Amazon Prime documentary.

Months of rumours swirled that the pair had rekindled their romance, with them spotted jetting off on holiday together.

Molly-Mae finally confirmed they had got back together last month as she began to reintroduce Tommy’s presence back onto her Instagram feed, sharing a sweet family snap.

Olivia and Alex Bowen 

Series 2, 2016

Olivia Buckland and Alex Bowen met on series two of Love Island in 2016, with the couple ultimately finishing in second place.

The couple moved in together within weeks and Alex proposed during a romantic trip to New York in December after just five months of dating.

In September 2018, Olivia and Alex, formerly a sales executive and scaffolder respectively, tied the knot in the first-ever Love Island wedding in front of friends, family and reality TV co-stars at Gosfield Hall, in EsSєx.

They both took to Instagram to share loved-up throwback snaps from their big day in 2018.

The couple are still just as loved-up as ever, documenting their married life from their lavish £1million EsSєx home where they live with their two French Bulldogs Winnie and Reggie. 

The ITV2 favourites have continued to capitalise on their popularity, and have become one of the show’s biggest financial success story, amᴀssing an estimated combined £4.3million fortune since leaving the villa.

Olivia shared the happy news she was pregnant with her first child with Alex on New Year’s Day 2022.

The couple welcomed their their son Abel in June 2022 and share family snaps to their social media pages often.

Olivia also announced that she was expecting her second child in February of this year and has been keeping fans updated with her pregnancy.

Sadly, it has not been smooth sailing for the family as Olivia was expecting twins, but lost one of her babies eight weeks into her pregnancy.

She made the revelation on Loose Women, where she recounted their tragic experience of vanishing twin syndrome.

The couple were told they were having twins just before Christmas, when they attended an early six week scan.

Olivia told the panel: ‘We went super early, I’m quite an anxious person anyway. When we turned up, we had our friend in the back of the car because we thought everything would be normal.

‘As soon as we sat down I saw two babies and not one, I was floored by that. I have twins in my family and as soon as we found out I was already nervous as we’ve not had a great history of twins in our family.’

Camilla Thurlow and Jamie Jewitt

Series 3, 2017 

Series three saw Camilla Thurlow and Jamie Jewitt narrowly miss out on the crown, finishing in second place.

Camilla was initially unlucky-in-love during her stint on the ITV2 dating show, after her budding romance with Jonny Mitchell came to end as he began pursuing Tyla Carr. 

However things turned around when she met Calvin Klein model, Jamie.

In February 2019, the couple moved into their own home after living at his parents’ house following their exit from the ITV2 dating show. 

The following year, the pair announced they were expecting their first child together, and in October 2020 they welcomed a baby girl called Nell.

In February 2021, Jamie proposed to Camilla with their baby daughter wearing a personalised baby grow which read: ‘Mummy, will you marry my Daddy?’

The pair went on to marry in a romantic ceremony last year and announced they were expecting their second child together in December.

In May 2022, the pair announced the arrival of their second child, a daughter called Nora Belle Jewitt.

The couple shared a heart-warming video featuring images of their new addition, who was born ahead of her June due date.

Captioning the post, they penned: ‘Our beautiful early bird Nora Belle Jewitt. Born 27 May 2022, a sister for our gorgeous little Nell Sophia.’

The couple announced the birth of their third child, son Brodie, in May. 

Revealing their son’s sweet name, Camilla wrote on her Instagram page: ‘And just like that.. we are a family of 5. Meet baby Brodie 12.38pm 8th May 6lb15oz’.

Nathan Mᴀssey and Cara De La Hoyde

Series 2, 2016

It wasn’t just Olivia and Alex who found love on season two. 

Not only are series winners Nathan Mᴀssey and Cara De La Hoyde still together, they are married with two children.

However, their road to happiness wasn’t plain-sailing as they split less than a year after the show, when Cara was pregnant with Nathan’s son.

But they reconciled at Christmas 2017, a few weeks before Cara welcomed their baby, who they named Freddie-George.

The couple later revisited the Love Island villa and Nathan shocked Cara by asking her to marry him. 

They got married in a low-key ceremony in the summer of 2019. They welcomed a daughter, Delilah, in 2020.

They have also appeared on TOWIE, as have many other Love Islanders following their stint in the villa. 

Cara told MailOnline previously: ‘I’ll be honest I don’t really watch Love Island anymore because the people on there, they’re just so pretty and everything and it just stresses me out watching these girls walk around and I think ‘I don’t look like that anymore.’

‘I think it’s a really difficult thing to go into now and I’ll be honest I don’t think I would want to go into Love Island now. It’s too big of an industry now for me. It would stress me out too much.

‘With Nathan and I and the earlier series it was all about love – we had no expectations of what Love Island was. 

‘I went in there because I didn’t want to pay rent for six weeks! I thought I’ll go in there, I’m a little bit of a weirdo and nobody is going to fancy me and I fell in love and met my husband!’

Indiyah Polack and Dami Hope

Series 8, 2022 

Another 2022 success story were finalists Indiyah Polack and Dami Hope, who came in third place on the summer series.

They coined the iconic line ‘may the best heartbreaker win’ during their explosive Casa Amor break-up, before reconciling and becoming a fan favourite couple.

Since leaving the villa three years ago, their romance has only continued to blossom and they have cemented themselves as a power couple – often collaborating on brand deals.

For one of Indiyah’s birthdays, Dami threw her a surprise party where he thanked her for ‘a love that makes sense’.

The Irish native dubbed his girlfriend ‘my unhinged partner in crime’ while giving fans a glimpse into life as a couple outside of the villa. 

With the help of his management team, Dami decked out a H๏τel room with an array of turquoise balloons and several bouquets of white roses. 

Placed in the corner on top of a chaise longue were several bags of gifts for the birthday girl – including pieces from couture brands Louis Vuitton and Gucci.

Gushing over Indiyah in the caption, the microbiologist penned: ‘Happy birthday baby, thank you for a love that makes sense.

‘Without saying too many words shout out to your marj and pops they did a great thing with your creation, wishing your granted all your wildest dreams in your new age and congratulations on all your current successes.

‘#24 gon be even crazier and I know it cause it’s been written already! thank you for everything that you are – annoying and den some too, my unhinged partner in crime – Happy national day love you to your stripes and back.

‘Thank you to @go_pr_and_events for helping decorate the room and making it all happen couldn’t have done it without you. honestly d best.’

Indiyah took to the comments with a slew of cute emojis as she wrote: ‘Thank you for the best birthday ever!! I love you sooo much and I’m so happy to be doing life with you my crazy man.’

Jess and Dom Lever

Series 3, 2017 

Jess and Dom Lever met on series 3 of Love Island in 2017 but only got together outside the villa. 

They both left separately and early on in the series.  

The pair announced their engagement after three months of dating and married in a romantic ceremony on the Greek Island of Mykonos in October 2018.

They revealed that they were expecting their first child in May 2019, seven months after tying the knot, and welcomed their baby boy Presley in September that year.

In March 2022, Jess, 30, and Dom, 33, announced they’re expecting a second child by sharing a video showing Jess’ pregnancy test and a baby scan, plus son Presley kissing her tummy, alongside the caption: ‘Our family is growing.’

Jess gave birth to their second son in June 2022 and has since been sharing pictures of their young family.

The couple live in Devon, where Jess originates from, and are currently renovating their dream home.

Luke Mabbott and Lucie Donlan 

Series 6, 2020 and series 5, 2019

Luke Mabbott and Lucie Donlan, both starred on Love Island but in different series, as the former heating engineer found fame on the first winter edition of the show in 2020. 

Meanwhile surfer and glamour model Lucie appeared on the 2019 series of Love Island, and briefly dated fellow contestant Joseph Garratt.

Luke reached the final of the winter series of the ITV dating show, but split from Demi Jones shortly afterwards.

The happy pair met in July 2020 after Lucie revealed that she messaged Luke first on social media. 

The pair got engaged a year later in the December 2023 after Luke romantically proposed in front of the Northern Lights during their trip to Finland.

He wrote: ‘Mrs Mabbott to be. The northern lights made an appearance for the perfect moment to pop the question. A night we will never forget.’ 

In April, Lucie revealed that she and Luke had finally booked their wedding venue and said the nuptials will take place next year. 

Last summer, Lucie put her Cornish cottage on the market less than three years after saying it was her ‘dream’ home.

Lucie renovated the quaint seaside house in Cubert, near Newquay alongside her fiance Luke.

The pair have taken their loyal followers along with them for the journey and have been posting progress pictures to Instagram, as they hope to get around £475,000 for the property.

Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan

Series 9, 2023

Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan snatched the win during the Winter Love Island 2023 series.

The pair became exclusive during their time on the ITV show, despite not initially being coupled up with each other as she came into the villa during Casa Amor. 

The couple have been keeping their fans up-to-date on social media as they travel back and fourth visiting one another in Manchester and Bedfordshire. 

In April 2024, Kai and Sanam announced they were engaged after the teacher got down on one knee while the pair were boating in Cambridge, with social worker Sanam dressed in bridal white and Kai wearing a matching coloured jacket.

They pᴀssionately kissed one another in another lovely pH๏τo before celebrating by popping champagne.

Speaking to OK! magazine , the couple explained the sacrifices they have had to make to maintain their relationship.

Kai said: ‘The difference between Love Island couples and ordinary couples is that there is a lot of pressure on the relationship when you leave the villa.

‘What makes Sanam and I different is that you have to decide what you want more: the fame that comes with the show, or the person you’re in a relationship with.

‘You get invited to parties but we wanted each other more than that lifestyle. We enjoy every moment together and we do things the other person is interested in, too.’

The couple returned to their jobs in teaching and social work after leaving the villa and are set to tie the knot later this summer.

Will Young and Jessie Wynter

Series 9, 2023

Will Young and Jessie Wynter stole the UK’s hearts on winter Love Island in 2023 as she arrived as a bombshell.

Jessie was an islander on season two of Love Island Australia, and more recently featured on the UK version of the show that wrapped up filming a couple months ago in South Africa.

It was there that she ‘coupled up’ with Will, and after falling in love she lived with him in Buckinghamshire on his family’s farm.

The pair regularly travel the world together and go back and forth between his UK farm and her native Australia.

Jessie is a personal trainer from Tasmania but was living in Sydney before her second stint on Love Island.

The happy couple often film TikToks together and they documented their brief move Down Under, also heading back there last month for a period.

While they appear to be enjoying their time in the city, Jessie previously said that she sees herself living in the UK long-term if she can sort out a visa.

Molly Marsh and Zachariah Noble 

Series 10, 2023

Molly and Zach met on the summer Love Island in 2023 but split in March 2024 after a whirlwind seven-month relationship.

They removed any trace of each other on social media after making the decision to end their romance.

Their reps told MailOnline they had ended on ‘good terms’ and remained ‘extremely close friends’.

The couple then reunited just six weeks later and embarked together on a two month trip across Australia.

They seemingly confirmed they had got back together during a joint appearance at BST festival last summer as they shared sweet snaps.

And Zach and Molly made their red carpet return in July when they put on a united display at the Fly Me To The Moon UK Gala screening in London. 

The couple don’t post each other on social media very often as they develop their own careers but are still together.

Molly Smith and Tom Clare

All Stars series, 2024

Season one of All Stars was won by returning Islanders Molly Smith and Tom Clare with Callum Jones and Eve Gale coming in second place.

Molly was a bombshell arrival, to the shock of her ex-boyfriend Callum, who she met filming the winter addition of the show in 2020.

Viewers became invested with the possibility of Molly and Callum rekindling their three-year relationship, but the fitness model pursued her romantic connection with Tom instead.

Callum and Eve split weeks after the show finished amid reporters he cheated with another woman, which Callum insists is untrue because the couple had already separated.

Since winning All Stars, Molly has secured several lucrative deals including with clothing retailer boohoo, US fitness supplement Alani Nu, jewellery brand Abbott Lyon and global makeup giants L’Oréal Paris and Maybelline.

Speaking to MailOnline last year, Molly said: ‘You know sometimes when you think, ‘Is this too good to be true?’ I don’t like jinxing things but right now I can’t fault our relationship. Moving in together is the next step, we are practically living together as is… we just haven’t made it official yet.

‘Our age difference used to bother me, but I have been with people in the past who have been older and shown less maturity than Tom does… 

‘Tom for his age, shows so much maturity and he’s actually treated me better than anyone I’ve been with…’

The couple bought their first home together last summer, with Molly giving MailOnline an update. 

She said: ‘We’re happier than ever – renovating our forever home together is a total dream come true!

‘⁠⁠Working with Gtech has come at such perfect timing with our renovation and it’s really exciting to be working with a brand that we love together.’

Sophie Piper and Joshua Ritchie 

All Stars series, 2024 

Sophie and Josh finished Love Island All Stars 2024 in third place after being coupled up since the day after Sophie entered the Villa.

In March 2024, Josh revealed on his Instagram story that he asked Sophie to be his girlfriend but she turned him down, saying: ‘I don’t think we’re at that stage yet.’

In the video he shared, Josh showed a H๏τel bed surrounded with rose petals and that had rose petals on the bed itself spelling out ‘will you be my gf?’

Josh turned the camera to Sophie and said: ‘Look what we have here, then. Thankfully, she said “no”.’ Sophie explained: ‘Erm, I just don’t think we’re at that stage yet. I think there’s a lot of stuff still that we’re working out.’

Josh burst into laughter while Sophie was speaking, letting his followers know that Sophie wasn’t being serious.

Rochelle Humes’ sister confirmed this by taking to her own Story to share a pH๏τo of the bed and write: ‘His (sic) the cutest haha’.

And the couple are still going strong over a year later, with Sophie posting a gushing tribute to her beau on his birthday two weeks ago.

‘You make my world brighter, my heart fuller and my life better. Happiest of birthdays to the best boyfriend I could ask for,’ she said.

Elma Pazar and Sammy Root

All Stars series, 2025 

Elma Pazar and Sammy Root ended up in fifth place during January’s Love Island All Stars series.

The pair have been questioned over their significant age gap, with some fans hinting their romance was more of a ‘showmance’ on screen. 

In recent weeks, the pair set tongues wagging after Elma took to TikTok to share a video about ‘red flags’. 

In the post, Elma flashed her toned abs in a black crop top and jeans as she danced to the song Revolving Door by Tate McRae. Writing over the video Elma penned: ‘When he takes hours to reply…’

But they shut down rumours they have split in an Instagram post at the end of April.

The couple, who also star together on TOWIE, proved their relationship was still on as they enjoyed a romantic dinner date at Alec’s Restaurant Bar & Grill in Brentwood.

Sammy confirmed they are still going from strength to strength as he filmed the glamorous reality star walking into the eatery.

Revealing why they don’t share each other on social media, Sammy told The Mirror: ‘It’s going well. We’re just doing our own thing, staying as private as we can. Once you’ve been in the public eye, you’ll always get people’s opinions so we keep ourselves to ourselves really.’

Harriet Blackmore and Ronnie Vint

All Stars series, 2025

The couple met on last year’s summer Love Island were voted out together before going on to date for a few months and eventually splitting.

But Harriet and Ronnie rekindled their romance on Love Island: All Stars in January and have been going strong since. 

Harriett revealed that the pair are taking their romance to the next level in June when they are moving in together. 

She told The Mirror: ‘In June. Everything’s happening at once.

‘We’re moving up towards London, which is exciting.

‘It’s really close to Matilda [Draper], so we’ll be spending a lot of time with her and going back and forth.’

Harriett and Ronnie initially struck up a romance on Love Island series 11 in 2024 but was not to last.

They managed to work things out in All Stars in early 2025 and have seemingly been going strong ever since.

Grace Jackson and Luca Bish

All Stars series, 2025

Grace and Luca found love on the latest series of All Stars earlier this year and came runners-up to winner Gabby Allen and Casey O’Gorman – who have since split.

The couple have proved their connection is strong after ex-island Olivia Hawkins claimed the model was only looking for a ‘showmance’.

But Luca received some backlash in March for his over the top method of asking Grace to be his girlfriend – which bore a striking similarity to the way he asked his ex-girlfriend Gemma Owen to be ‘official’.

As Luca took things to the next level with the blonde bombshell, eagle-eyed fans have spotted several similarities between his latest OTT gesture to the one he did for ex Gemma after meeting on the ITV2 show the first time around.

Luca and Grace enjoyed a lavish getaway to Abu Dhabi over the weekend and during the trip he hired someone to set up a stunning floral beach private dinner, which looked near enough identical to the red roses date he prepared for Gemma. 

In February, the couple shared what life has been like since leaving the villa.

Speaking on the Wednesdays podcast with Melissa Tattam and Sophie Habboo, Luca shared: ‘We had dinner the day we landed with my mum and sister, and then we had dinner with her two best mates last night.

‘The important thing for us is just introducing everyone, and yeah, integrating everything.’

Grace and Luca found love on the latest series of All Stars earlier this year and came runners-up to winner Gabby Allen and Casey O'Gorman - who have since split

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? Someone who is beautiful on the inside and out, looks after themselves and is healthy

CLAIM TO FAME? My dad being an ex-professional footballer. I’ve met all kinds of famous people through him. When I was younger it was weird because he was just my dad, but we’d go to a game and fans were asking for pH๏τos. I’ve met David Beckham, he was really nice.

NAME: Megan Moore

AGE: 25

FROM: Southampton

Tommy Bradley

FROM: Hertfordshire

OCCUPATION: Landscape Gardener

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? A girl who is very ambitious, with a big personality, caring, but also someone that doesn’t take themselves too seriously. I don’t know if that’s asking for too much, but I want a bit of everything. I haven’t got a specific type in terms of looks, though.

Alima Gagio

NAME: Alima Gagio

AGE: 23

FROM: Glasgow

OCCUPATION: Wealth Management Client Services Executive

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? A tall man with a handsome face. You know when you just look at a guy and they have that Disney prince look to them? That’s it

WOULD MAYA HIRE YOU FOR YOUR FLIRTING SKILLS? I think she’d hire me because I’m a good flirt. I always ask guys on a night out to guess which country I’m originally from. If they get it right, they can get my number. 

But they never guess correctly so it works really well if you don’t want to give a guy your number. I’m originally from Guinea Bissau. If they’re close and I really fancy them, I’ll give them my number anyway.

FROM: London

OCCUPATION: Cabin Crew

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? Somebody funny or Northern. I feel like Northern people have much more banter than Southerners. If you look through my previous dating history, you’ll see I clearly go for personality. You can pretty much laugh me into bed.

Megan Moore

Megan Moore

NAME: Megan Moore

AGE: 24

FROM: Dublin

OCCUPATION: Musical theatre performer and energy broker

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?

Someone who doesn’t take themselves too seriously and has a sense of humour. If they’re not bad looking, that’s always a plus. 

I love a boy that’s a bit pasty, like Timothé e Chalamet. I don’t mind scrawny, or a bit of a ‘dad bod’. I’m 5ft1 so any height really.

CLAIM TO FAME? Me and my friends made a Derry Girls TikTok for Halloween and it went a bit viral around Brighton. 

Sometimes I get stopped in the street about it. I’ve also done Panto.

Someone who is family oriented, has a lot of love to give and a lot of love to receive. Personality goes a long way.

CLAIM TO FAME? I’m the body double for Declan Rice. So when he does a shoot, any body close ups will actually be me. You’ll never see my face, but you’ll see my shoulder or chest, that kind of thing.

  Conor Phillips

Conor Phillips

NAME: Conor Phillips

AGE: 23

FROM: Limerick

OCCUPATION: Professional rugby player

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?Someone who is really sure of themselves, ambitious, a bit of a go-getter and good craic. I like dark eyes and I don’t mind a dominant woman.

WOULD MAYA HIRE YOU FOR YOUR FLIRTING SKILLS? Definitely hire. I ask girls if they want to go halves on a baby. It doesn’t work, but it gets them laughing. It’s an ice-breaker, not a serious question of course!
