From securing lucrative million euro brand deals, to breakups, and those Davide cheating rumours.
Here’s the latest from 2022’s Love Islander’s.
Ekin-Su addresses online cheating rumours surrounding Davide
Love Island Season 8 winners Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Davide Sanclimenti had a whirlwind romance inside the Love Island villa.
The couple faced plenty of highs and lows during their time on the show, with Davide telling Ekin-Su "You're a liar, actress! Go the f**k out" in the middle of one of their clashes.
Since leaving the show, the couple have made trips to Manchester, and have had date nights and gym sessions together in London.
The pair have been met with several TV offers and brand deals since exiting the show, and have been subject to cheating rumours circulating online.
Ekin-Su and Davide announced on Channel 4 ’s The Big Breakfast that they will star in their own travel and cooking show.
It comes after fans of the couple made a plea to see more of the pair and their antics.
The upcoming project with ITV2 will see the smitten pair travel to Italy and Turkey to meet each other’s families and explore their cultures.
Ekin-Su told Lorraine presenter Christine Lampard on Monday: “We love food, so it’s like a week in Turkey and then a week in Italy."
"So, in Turkey it will be like meeting the family, Davide meets my family, perhaps cooks traditional Turkish food for them and I rate them and see how it is and then we kind of tour Istanbul where I’m from, and I do a week in Italy.
It hasn’t all been sunshine and daisies, as last week Davide was spotted in a taxi with two mystery ladies and a male friend.
Social media went berserk with worry after a viral video emerged of Davide getting into a cab with two women after KSI's fight in London.
Ekin-Su happened to be away shooting for the brand Oh Polly in Los Angeles.
It is reportedly the biggest Love Island brand deal in history when she confirmed her £1million endorsement with Oh Polly.
Ekin-Su immediately addressed the "cheating" speculations to bed once and for all, insisting she "trusts" her boyfriend and knows Davide would never cheat on her.
Commenting on the video and cheating rumours, Ekin-Su told Goss.ie: “I mean those videos, we know it’s not true because I was talking to him the whole night.”
“You know the relationship is between me and him and people like to talk,” she continued.
“The truth behind that is it wasn’t just him, it was a big group, and it just happened to be two girls in a taxi with him and his friend and it just looked wrong, that's all it was.”
“And you know I trust him, he didn’t cheat, and he’s my man,” Ekin-Su added.
In footage obtained by The Sun, Davide was joined by Anita Gunnarsdottir and Matthildur Ylfa Þorsteinsd - who sat next to him during the fight.
He was reportedly spotted chatting and laughing with the duo as they departed the venue before sharing a cab together.
The Italian hunk shared a photo from the night, in his first social media post since him leaving in a taxi with the girls.
Fans also took to TikTok to share a video of Davide as he stands with the two girls along with a larger group of people.
She captioned the video: “I took these coming from the ksi fight. tbf there were more girls than guys (like 2 or 3 guys and 5 girls), but they got a taxi that could only fit 4 so the others got another.”
Ekin-Su has been very busy, and was in Dublin at the opening of BPerfect Cosmetics new superstore in Blanchardstown Shopping Centre.
The fiery Love Island winner also made an appearance on RTÉ’s Late Late show, where she was interviewed by Ryan Tubridy.
On Monday morning, Ekin-Su, 28, and Davide, 27, joined Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield on the This Morning couch to talk about how they fell for one another, their future plans as a couple, and Davide's recent taxi antics.
Philip Schofield grilled Davide about the taxi rumour, and Davide said: "You know what, I laughed it off actually,"
While Ekin admitted that at first, she was rather taken aback as friends, family, and fans bombarded her with messages and screenshots of the mysterious snaps.
Davide is also reportedly the first male islander from this series to have landed a huge brand deal after it was reported that he signed a six-figure deal with online fashion retailer boohooMAN.
Gemma and Luca make things official
Gemma Owen, has her own swimwear line, OG Beachwear, and is said to have been offered several brand deals since leaving the villa.
Following in the footsteps of Molly-Mae Hague, Gemma has been named as the new ambassador for PrettyLittleThing.
Gemma is riding the wave of her new-found fame and has just signed a very lucrative six-figure deal with fashion retailer PrettyLittleThing.
Gemma said: "I wore PrettyLittleThing throughout my time on the show and now being announced as one of their newest ambassadors alongside some incredible talent including Love Island alumni is really special."
During their time on Love Island, Gemma insisted she wanted the approval of her family before taking the next step and making their relationship official.
Luca finally got the seal of approval from Gemma’s football famous dad Michael Owen after joining them on a family holiday.
He's also announced a YouTube channel called 'The Bish n Chips Show'!.
After getting the seal of approval from Gemma’s family, Luca and Gemma finally made things official.

The couple's Love Island co-stars were among those sending messages on social media including Ikenna Ekwonna who said "Finally" while Andrew Le Page wrote: "About time".
Gemma created speculation recently after a visit to Paramount studios.
The 19 year old shared a picture at the reception of Paramount studios and fans think it's a clue as to what Gemma and boyfriend Luca Bish's could get up to next.
According to The Sun, one clever fan wrote on a forum: "I’m guessing it’s The Challenge. From MTV. Paramount owns it now and Love island USA people are on it. I think they keep saying this season they are competing for an international Season or something like that."

Tasha and Andrew are thriving
Love Island lovebirds Tasha and Andrew had a rocky start in the villa, especially after Casa Amor.
The pair became the first couple on Love Island 2022 to make their romance official and have even got matching tattoos since.
Things have been moving fast for the 24-year-old islander.
Tasha has just landed a huge fashion brand deal with eBay UK.
Commenting on the news, Tasha took to social media on her birthday, and said: Tasha wrote: "A BIRTHDAY GIFT TO LAST A LIFETIME. I am over the moon to announce I am @ebay_uk first ever pre-loved ambassador”
Last month, fans noticed Andrew had appeared to unfollow Jacques O'Neill on Instagram, the Mirror UK reported.
Jacques and Andrew don’t follow each other on the social media app.
It comes as Tasha Ghouri unfollowed Jacques after islander Remi’s post alleging bullying allegations against Jacques, and after Tasha saw a leaked video of Jacques mocking Tasha.
In the statement, Remi described how Jacques made fun of his looks and his voice while Luca egged him on.
One Twitter user responded and said: “Andrew unfollowed Jacques. We stan a supportive boyfriend. #loveisland”
While a second said: “Andrew and Tasha both unfollowed Jacques!! we love an unproblematic couple”
After leaving the villa, Tasha revealed that she moved her boyfriend Andrew Le Page into her London flat after they exited Love Island.
Andrew has been very supportive of Tasha.
In a Q&A video on Tasha's YouTube page, Andrew admitted he was going to complete a British Sign Language (BSL). He said: "It's definitely something I definitely wanna learn. I know it means a lot to Tash and it would be a pretty cool skill to have."
Paige and Adam fuelling speculation the pair on the rocks
Former paramedic Paige Thorne, 24, and two-time islander Adam Collard came fifth in the final.
The couple have been subject to predictions by fans as the next couple to split over spending time apart, and cryptic social media posts.
Paige recently admitted she initially needed some persuasion to get to know Adam Collard.
Talking to Fubar Radio, Paige said she was initially put off talking to Adam by some of the things the other girls in the villa had said about him, Digital Spy reports.
Paige said producers convinced her to give Adam a chance, she added: "I got pulled aside and they were like, 'Paige, why are you already writing him off before you've had a chance?'
She added: “I was like, because of what the girls have been saying. I don't need to have a chat with him to know there's not going to be a difference, and they were like no, be open-minded, and just talk to him and give him a chance.”
Paige had a bit of a rocky journey in the villa, and was initially paired with Luca (who ended up with Gemma Owen), and was coupled up with Jacques O'Neill, until his flirting with other girls in Casa Amor led to trouble between the pair and then Jacques quit the show, shortly after Adam expressed his interest in Paige.
Paige then went on to pursue a romance with Adam.
Many fans have been predicting that the pair would be the next to split after they appeared to spend some time apart.
Despite the predictions, the pair stepped out together putting on a united display, as they made an appearance at the In The Style pop up shop in Manchester.
It’s alleged that hasn’t spoken to her former flame Jacques since she returned to the UK.
At the Love Island wrap party, islander Antigoni revealed the update to The Sun at the show's wrap party, which Paige was also a guest at, Antigoni said: “I saw Paige last night, and they've not spoken, no.”
