Love Island couples: Which islanders from over the years are actually still together?


Summer is nearly upon us, which can only mean one thing – Love Island is just around the corner.

The ITV2 smash hit is returning to our TV screens for a fifth series on Monday.

This year’s hopefuls include a boxer, a scientist, a professional dancer, a pharmacist, an air hostess and semi-professional rugby player – but just how lucky in love will they be?

Over the years, the show has seen very few relationships last the distance. This year’s intake will be hoping to follow in the footsteps of Jack and Dani, who walked away with last year’s cash prize… only to split less than a year later.

Here, we take a look at which couples are still going strong since they packed their bags and waved goodbye to that villa life.

Camilla Thurlow and Jamie Jewitt, 2017

Camilla and Jamie won over the hearts of viewers when they coupled up on the show back in 2017.

After being dumped by Jonny Mitchell, it seemed villa sweetheart Camilla was going to be unlucky in love forever before she finally found her match in Jamie.

The pair eventually finished runners up to Kem Cetinay and Amber Davies, but unlike them, their relationship has lasted and in February this year they announced they had taken the plunge and moved in together with their dogs Audrey and Gus.

Despite being the first couple kicked out of the villa, Jess and Dom’s relationship has lasted the distance and have become one of Love Island’s biggest success stories.

Not only did the couple marry in Mykonos in October last year, but they also announced earlier this month that they are expecting their first baby together.

But despite the success of their relationship, we can’t let them forget their bizarre “wedding” on Good Morning Britain last year which saw them “married” by Richard Arnold in an odd mock ceremony on live TV.

Cara De La Hoyd and Nathan Massey, 2016

Fan favourites Cara and Nathan split soon after winning the 2016 series but got back together a few weeks before Cara gave birth to Freddie-George in December 2017.

And on a return visit to the Love Island villa, Nathan proposed to Cara and the couple are now engaged to be married this summer.

Aww.

Olivia Buckland and Alex Bowen, 2016

Olivia and Alex became one of the show’s strongest couples after they met and fell in love in front of the nation way back in 2016.

After a rocky start, the pair soon became inseparable and their relationship has since gone from strength to strength.

They became the first Love Island couple to tie the knot when they married in a particularly lavish ceremony in September last year.

Love Island is on ITV2, Monday at 9pm
