Love Island UK has seen its fair share of romantic relationships throughout its seasons. While some couples have stood the test of time, others haven’t been as lucky in love. Tom and Sammie of the latest Winter series admitted on a podcast that neither went into the villa looking for love or to meet someone, so I am not shocked at their split…
Here’s a rundown of where some of the show’s former couples stand today.
Season 3 couple Camilla Thurlow and Jamie Jewitt are still together and have welcomed a child together. Meanwhile, season 2’s Olivia Buckland and Alex Bowen tied the knot and are happily married. Faye and Teddy remain together as well.
“I actually said that I love Teddy first – we said it in the villa,” she shared with Capital FM in September 2021.
Teddy confirmed that “nobody knows this” because it happened in the pantry.
Faye added at the time: “Nobody knows because it was after our families came in. I was super worried about meeting his brothers after everything that had happened, I was worried about him meeting my family, and then we met, and we got on so well.”
However, not all Love Island couples have had a happy ending. Season 1’s Jess Hayes and Max Morley split shortly after the show’s finale, and season 4’s Adam Collard and Zara McDermott ended their relationship after a series of public controversies. Adam makes the list again, ending his relationship with Paige of season 8 with cheating rumours.

Many of you have been on this journey with us from the very beginning, and I want to thank you for your continued support as we start new chapters.” The two are allegedly back together now, however.
