In a change from previous finals, only three couples will be in this year's final, with recent dumpees Mica and Samraj given the power to dump a couple, thus ending their time in the villa.
Over the last two months, singles have entered the iconic villa and while some have left still single, others have been more lucky in the love department.
This year's Islanders have been following in the footsteps of reigning champs Samie Elishi and Ciaran, along with a long list of former winners from the summer and winter seasons.
As another season of Love Island comes to an end, here's everything you need to know about all the previous Love Island winners, including their current relationship status.

Samie Elishi and Ciaran Davies - All Stars (2026)

Relationship status: Split
Samie Elishi and Ciaran Davies found love on All Stars and quickly became the nation's favourite and won the show.
However, just three weeks after the final, they split up.
The two had slightly differing version of accounts as to why they split, with Samie saying: "Me and Ciaran were in the very early stages of dating and we got into the real world and it just didn't work and that is absolutely fine. I understand people are invested and I respect that fully but guys it's life, things don't always work.
"I have been true to myself and my feelings throughout the whole experience. You can call me a lot of things but you can't call me a liar. I can't fake it with anyone. Things changed when we got out and that is it. That is all there is to the story. There is nothing else."
During a podcast appearance, Ciaran said: "We're messaging and stuff, I'm trying to message her. Obviously I knew she was busy that week because she was going to New York, she had a lot of brand stuff to do as well.
"So I’d message her, we’d message and then there’d be a while that she didn’t get back to me. And I was like, ‘Yeah I know she’s busy she’s got work on, work stuff to do.’ I was just like, ‘Message me when you can’."
After a couple of days of no messages, the pair had a phone call and "that's where it ended".
Ciaran didn't share what was said on the phone call, but added: "It would be easy for me to give a PR answer like, 'Oh yeah it was both of our decision.' I’ll be honest, not on my end."
Toni Laites and Cach Mercer - Season 12 (2025)

Relationship status: Split
Toni and Cach had a whirlwind romance on Love Island. The pair coupled up after Casa Amor, however Toni ended things briefly to re-explore her connection with Harrison Solomon.
However, Toni and and Cach reunited and they went on to win the show.
Sadly, seven months after their win, they split up and unfollowed each other on Instagram.
"It just didn’t work out to be honest with you and we just went our separate ways," Cach said on a live stream.

Gabby and Casey won the latest season of Love Island: All Stars, but three months later they called it quits.
The pair released a joint statement via MailOnline, which read: "After much thoughtful consideration, Gabby and Casey have decided to go their separate ways romantically. This decision was mutual, and they both remain on good terms as friends with a shared respect for each other."
A representative for Gabby added: "Gabby is grateful for the memories they've created together and wishes Casey nothing but the best as they both move forward on their individual journeys. She's excited for what the future holds and appreciates."

Relationship status: Split
Mimii and Josh won Love Island 2024's summer season and became the first Black couple to win in the show's history – however, two months after they won, they announced they had broken up.
In an Instagram Story, Mimii said she Josh were "trying to figure it out since leaving the villa but unfortunately things aren't going to work out between us right now".
Josh later commented on their split at the Pride of Britain Awards and told The Sun: "Mimii is just as busy as I am. I'm sure she's doing well whatever she is doing. I wish her the best and I hope she continues to thrive."

Relationship status: Married
Molly Smith and Tom Clare were named the first ever winners of the Love Island: All Stars season. The couple took home a whopping £50,000 cash prize, which they split.
In the months following their win, Tom officially asked Molly to be his girlfriend and they have recently tied the knot!
This summer, Molly and Tom shared that they had got married in an intimate legal wedding ceremony in Manchester.
Sammy Root and Jess Harding – Season 10 (2023)

Relationship status: Split
It sure has been one rollercoaster journey for summer 2023 winners Sammy and Jess. Despite coming in as a bombshell who took out Molly, Ella T and Jess on poolside dates, Sammy and Jess clearly had a spark from their first meeting.
But Sammy had a case of wandering eye that saw him and Jess come to fiery blows more than once in the villa. The couple were told they couldn't recouple with one another and newly single, Sammy recoupled with bombshell Mal, while Jess tried things with best friend Mitchel.
Despite their differences and turning heads (on Sammy's part), Jess arrived back in to the villa from Casa Amor single and it showed Sammy that he wanted to be with her, rather than Amber. Since then, the pair quickly became the villa's first boyfriend and girlfriend, with Sammy declaring his love for Jess in his final declaration of love in the final.
Sadly, the pair were unable to make their romance work outside of the villa, and split up mere months after the show's end.
Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan – Season 9 (2023)

Relationship status: Married
The 2023 winter Love Island final saw the show’s host Maya Jama announce that Sanam and Kai were this year's winning couple.
Before their win, Sanam accidentally revealed she is in love with Kai, while Kai told viewers to “watch this space” about asking Sanam to be his girlfriend in the outside world.
It wasn’t all plain-sailing for the pair, however, with both contestants' heads turning during the infamous Casa Amor segment, but things seem to be going from strength to strength for the pair.
Appearing on this year's Aftersun, they confirmed they moved in with each other and have also launched a joint YouTube channel, The Kai and Sanam Show.
As of 2025, the pair are now married!
Ekin-Su Cülcüloglu and Davide Sanclimenti – Season 8 (2022)

Relationship status: Split
The 2022 hugely exciting Love Island finale saw Ekin-Su and Davide emerge as the winners after the public watched their whirlwind romance unfold.
Since the show, the pair appeared in their very own reality TV show, titled Ekin-Su & Davide: Homecomings, which saw them travelling back to their home countries, as well as Ekin-Su taking part on season 15 of Dancing on Ice.
But their love story has continued to have twist and turns since leaving the villa. After a brief break-up last summer, the pair reconciled on a romantic trip to Turkey, but have since broken up.
In January 2024, the pair shared the news of their split on their respective Instagram stories.
Ekin-Su wrote: "The last 18 months have been a rollercoaster of ups and downs, just like every relationship. Davide and I both wanted to make this work as we cared deeply for each other.
"Unfortunately I have recently made the decision to end our relationship and to go our separate ways."
The actress went on to say she hopes their privacy "will be respected", noting she "enjoyed" their "time together and will cherish the memories" they made.
Shortly after her statement, Davide wrote that it was a "joint decision" to end their relationship.
"I agree, it was a beautiful story even with its ups and downs, like all couples. I loved every moment, from the first time I knew her in the villa until life outside," he wrote.
"I really believed in us and saw a future for us. But sometimes in life people need to grow apart. Is just the direction of life. I will treasure our moments forever."
Liam Reardon and Millie Court – Season 7 (2021)

Relationship status: Split
Liam and Millie emerged as the 2021 champions of Love Island, beating Chloe Burrows and Toby Aromolaran, as well as Faye Winter and Teddy Soares, to that £50,000 prize money.
Unfortunately, the couple broke up in July 2022, with Millie sharing the news in an Instagram post and telling her followers that it was "a tough decision" but that they were "both ready for new chapters".
The pair did get back together before splitting up again in September 2025. Millie went on to appear in Love Island: All Stars the following year.
Paige Turley and Finn Tapp – Season 6 (2020)
Relationship status: Split
Paige and Finn, the first ever winners of winter Love Island, stayed together for three years after being crowned the 2020 series champions, spending lockdown together and later moving into a flat in Manchester, however they reportedly called time on their relationship 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.
Amber Gill and Greg O'Shea – Season 5 (2019)
ITV
Relationship status: Split
If you were invested in Amber and Greg going the distance then you probably were not too thrilled to learn that they broke up only a few weeks after leaving the villa behind them – so it wasn't true love after all.
Individually though, things have been going pretty well for them. Greg has gone back to his career playing Rugby while Amber has become quite the name on social media, having become an influencer who has amassed over two million followers.
Both have gone to be in separate relationships, moving on with their lives since Love Island.

Jack Fincham and Dani Dyer – Season 4 (2018)
Relationship status: Split
Ah, Jack and Dani – we thought they were meant to be but alas, the relationship did not last and Jack missed out on the golden opportunity of having Danny Dyer as a father-in-law. They did try to make it work, even living together and buying a puppy, but it fell apart after six months.
Since then, Jack has had a child named Blossom while Dani has been edging her way into the presenting world – and had a cameo in EastEnders alongside her dad where she played his cab driver. She is mum to a boy called Santiago and welcomed twin daughters, Star and Summer, in May 2023.
As of June 2025, Dani is now married to footballer Jarrod Bowen, whom she shares the twins with.
Kem Cetinay and Amber Davies – Season 3 (2017)
Relationship status: Split
Kem and Amber's relationship did not last long after they left the villa and they broke up around six months later. Professionally though, they are the most successful couple to emerge from the show. Kem has become a well-known face in the UK through his stints on shows like Dancing on Ice and he pops up semi-regularly as a guest on This Morning.
As for Amber, she has seen her star rise on the stage when she was cast in the musical 9 to 5 and more recently, she donned her sparkles and joined the original West End cast of The Great Gatsby musical. So while their love may not have gone the distance, they will certainly be pleased that they made the decision to join the show in 2017.
Cara De la Hoyde and Nathan Massey – Season 2 (2016)
Relationship status: Married
Cara and Nathan may have separated briefly not long after they won the show in 2016 but Cara discovered she was pregnant and the baby brought them back together. They named him Freddie and the addition of a child has seen them remain together to this day – well done, Freddie!
And they seem to be happier than ever now. They had their second baby, daughter Delilah, in 2020. It is nice to see that Love Island can see a couple stay together, even if it is a rarity.
Jessica Hayes and Max Morley – Season 1 (2015)
Relationship status: Split
Jess and Max were the first winners of the revamped show in 2015 – there was a two-season celebrity version that aired first – and while it would be nice to say that the original winners were still together, sadly we can't as they split up a mere six weeks after leaving the villa behind them.
Since then, Max has got into travelling and has visited various places around the world, while Jess found love with Dan Lawry and they have gone onto have a child together, Presley. So while the pair did not stay together, at least they have both gone on to good things!
