What became of last summer’s Love Island couples?

Last summer’s Love Island series was one of the most dramatic – notable for the number of hook-ups, break-ups and screaming rows. But which of the couples have actually stayed together?

Ekin-Su and Davide

The series’ winners – and one of the most popular couples in the show’s history – moved in together in November, and recently enjoyed a romantic getaway in the Maldives.

Sharing a photo on the beach, Davide wrote on Instagram: “They told me that to make her fall in love, I had to make her laugh. But every time she laughs, I’m the one who falls in love.”

He attended all of Ekin-Su’s Dancing on Ice performances and made a surprise appearance in her last one. The actor and model said Davide had been “very supporting” throughout her training.

Tasha and Andrew

Despite being at the centre of one of the show’s most scandalous fallouts, they are still together.

The pair, who came fourth, were the first couple from the 2022 summer series to be officially boyfriend and girlfriend. They moved in together and, last Christmas, Andrew gave Tasha a promise ring. They’ve also been on holiday together, and recently said they were hoping to move abroad in the future.

Tasha, Love Island’s first deaf contestant, has posted on Instagram about their relationship, saying Andrew has been a “voice” for her since leaving the show. He even got a tattoo that features “I love you” in British Sign Language.

Indiyah and Dami

Last year’s third-place couple are still together, despite their rocky journey in the villa. Since then, they’ve moved in together.

When Indiyah was announced as a co-host of the Love Island podcast, as well as a regular panellist on Love Island Aftersun, Dami sang her praises. “Back on our screens again for real,” he wrote, using a bunch of celebration emojis.

Indiyah also told PWR magazine: “Me and Dami are a lot closer now since we’ve come out, it’s been easier as time goes along. Every day, you learn more about each other, and I’ve gotten to know how he is as a normal person.”

Gemma and Luca

Despite being crowned runners-up, Gemma and Luca’s relationship failed to stand the test of time.

In fact, the couple faced trouble just a few weeks after leaving the villa. Days after the Love Island reunion, Gemma was pictured storming ahead of Luca as they left the TV studio. When a photographer quipped: “You’ve got your hands full there,” Luca replied: “Oh don’t mate! She’s got the right hump with me.”

The pair eventually announced their split in November, the first couple from the 2022 series to do so. They said it “wasn’t an easy decision but ultimately this is what’s best for us both right now”.
