Love Island winners — all the couples who have won the UK's popular dating show

Love Island Logo.

The Love Island winners list has just got longer as the live final for Love Island UK 2024 has now aired. 

The show has been on our screens since 2015 and over the years, we've seen countless islanders enter the villa, but only 12 couples have managed to win the hearts of the public and claim the title of Love Island winner.

Below, you'll find the list of every single couple who has managed to bag the show's cash prize, plus whether they're still together, and what they've gotten up to on the outside since they left Love Island behind. How many Love Island winners can you remember? 

Who are the Love Island UK winners?

2024 - Mimii Ngulube and Josh Oyinsan 

Mimii and Josh were crowned the winners in the 2024 final, narrowly beating series favorites Ciaran and Nicole. Jaws dropped in the villa when Maya Jama announced the news, especially because the pair had only been a couple for two weeks. The couple have also made history as they became the first black couple to win the UK version of the reality show since it launched nine years ago. Mimii admitted her surprise and told Maya: "I wasn't expecting this" and said that she felt "overstimulated, overwhelmed and grateful". The pair celebrated winning the £50k prize pot with a big kiss before Mimii broke down in tears.

Love Island: All Stars 2024 - Molly Smith and Tom Clare

Footballer Tom Clare and model Molly Smith are the latest loved-up couple to win the show. They were crowned the winners of Love Island: All Stars. Molly arrived on day 1 of the show, alongside her ex, Callum (who came in second place!). Meanwhile, Tom arrived on Day 10 and chose Molly as one of the girls he wanted to take on a date. 

After their date, the public voted for the pair to couple up, and they stayed together throughout the subsequent recouplings. As far as we know, the pair are still together, as of our most recent update. 

2023 (Summer) - Jess Harding and Sammy Root

Jess Harding and Sammy Root won the tenth series of the ITV reality show and were crowned champions after winning the public vote in the series live final. However, the pair split later in the year, having grown apart.

2023 (Winter) - Sanam Harrinanan and Kai Fagan

Our first winners from 2023 were Sanam Harrinanan and Kai Fagan after they won Winter Love Island 2023. After meeting during Casa Amor, they went on to win the public's hearts to become the most popular couple of the first of two series. Sanam's victory also makes her the first contestant to go all the way from Casa Amor to win the show!

Kai and Sanam secured a total of 42% of the final vote and beat Ron Hall and Lana Jenkins (second place), Tom Clare and Samie Elishi (third), and Shaq Muhammad and Tanya Manhenga in fourth.

2022 - Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Davide Sanclimenti

Last year's winners were Ekin-Su and Davide. Their budding romance was one of the highlights of Love Island season 8, as it saw the pair of them growing to become one of the most loved-up couples in the villa. They secured nearly two-thirds of the vote during their season, easily claiming the crown.

Gemma Owen and Luca Bish were the runners-up, Dami and Indiyah came in third and Tasha and Andrew were in fourth place. 

Sadly, Ekin-Su and Davide confirmed that they'd decided to call it quits in June 2023 and are no longer together.

2021 - Millie Court and Liam Reardon

Millie and Liam were crowned the winners of Love Island 2021, beating Chloe Burrows and Toby Aromolaran to the £50k jackpot. 

After host Laura Whitmore announced the result, Millie was then faced with the climactic decision of whether to split the £50,000 cash prize with Liam or not, but Millie decided not to break the streak and opted to split the money with Liam.

Although Millie and Liam split up in July 2022, rumors began to circulate that the pair had gotten back together in May 2023, and the two lovebirds have since revealed that they're giving things another go!

2020 - Paige Turley and Finn Tapp

In 2020, Paige Turley and Finn Tapp won the winter edition of Love Island, and both have a large social media following after their success on the show. 

Paige has a YouTube channel and has released music on Spotify, and Finn is a former semi-professional footballer. 

The pair confirmed they were no longer together in June 2023, after three years of dating. On an episode of Aftersun in 2023, Paige confirmed to Maya Jama that the pair had 'drifted apart' over their time together.

2019 - Amber Gill and Greg O'Shea

2019's Love Island winners were Greg O'Shea and Amber Gill, but they are no longer together as they broke up via text five weeks after receiving the prize. Greg is a professional rugby player and Amber is a beauty therapist.

Amber now has a large social following and has written a romance novel. Greg also has a YouTube channel where he shares fitness tips.

2018 - Dani Dyer and Jack Fincham

Former EastEnders legend Danny Dyer's daughter, Dani Dyer, won the 2018 edition of Love Island alongside Jack Fincham. However, the pair are no longer together, with Jack announcing the news on Instagram writing: "We have some amazing memories together and have been through a lot but sometimes things aren't meant to be and we really did try to make it work but it unfortunately didn't and that is life."

Dani later had a relationship with Sammy Kimmence, and the pair share a son together, Santiago, who was born in January 2021, although they have since split. Currently, she is now engaged to West Ham footballer Jarrod Bowen, and the pair have baby twins.

2017 - Amber Davies and Kem Cetinay

Kem Cetinay and Amber Davies won the 2017 series of Love Island, but their relationship didn't last. A string of rows led to the couple's split, despite the duo previously suggesting they might get married. 

Amber is now in a relationship with Nick Kyriacou and landed her first TV acting role in the CBBC comedy drama Almost Never. Meanwhile, Kem was one half of the music duo Chris & Kem, and has participated in Soccer Aid, Dancing on Ice, Celebrity MasterChef and he co-hosts Love Island: The Morning After with Radio 1 DJ, Arielle Free.

Cara is the co-owner of Embroidery by FJ and both Cara and Nathan have had guest appearances on The Only Way is Essex

2015 - Jessica Hayes and Max Morley

The first Love Island winners were Jessica Hayes and Max Morley, but they split six weeks after leaving the villa. They've since dated other people; Max became a dad for the first time in 2021, and Jessica is now mum to Presley with partner Dan Lawry. Jessica and Dan sadly lost their second child Teddy in 2020, and Jessica has gone on to raise awareness about baby loss; she got engaged to a businessman called Zeb in 2022 after a one-year romance.
