Despite the few Love Island couples that actually manage to make it in the outside world, there's been a surprising number of contestants that have re-coupled on the outside world.
While some of the stars reunite after being separated following a show dumping, others have started dating even though they didn't cross paths inside the villa, and some have had a fling with a contestant and then gone on to apply for the show themselves.
Not only that, but since Love Island returned in 2015 we've seen plenty of contestants from different series GET IT ON which feels a bit weird and we're not sure why...
Check out: Love Island stars who got together outside the villa
Love Island stars who have recoupled outside the villa
1 of 18Yewande Biala and George Rains
Yewande Biala and George Rains were not even in the villa at the same time but outside they seem to be having a whale of a time. Fans were buzzing in August when the Casa Amor star appeared to have Yewande's make-up all over his face. However months later reports surfaced that he was dating a model.
2 of 18Laura Anderson and Max Morley
Months after Paul Knops dumped her, Laura Anderson moved on and started dating Love Island 2015 winner Max Morley. The pair were on-off until July 2019 when they finally called it quits.
3 of 18Kieran Nicholls and Chloe Crowhurst
Two months after Love Island 2018 ended it came to light that Casa Amor star Kieran Nicholls (who lasted on the show for three days) and 2017 contestant Chloe Crowhurst had recoupled outside the villa. It didn't last though because days later he pied her in a brutal public announcement. Ouch.
4 of 18Lucie Donlan and Joe Garratt
They (not the public) branded themselves as 'Juicy' but when Joe Garrett was booted from the villaviewers were shocked that Lucie Donlan didn't follow him. Instead she coupled up with George in Casa Amor and then dumped him before being kicked out the villa alongside him. Weeks after the Love Island 2019 final and Lucie and Joe confirmed on Instagram that 'Juicy' was back together.
5 of 18Arabella Chi and Wes Nelson
Arabella Chi was mugged off by Danny Williams who appeared to be devastated when she left the villa but he quickly bounced back with Jourdan Riane. Luckily the model got over him with Love Island 2018 finalist Wes Nelson.
6 of 18Jon Clark and Chloe Crowhurst
If you cast your mind back to Love Island 2015 you'll remember when Jon Clark famously proposed to Hannah Elizabeth. It didn't last (bless them) and he went on to star on TOWIE. Fast forward a couple of years and he dated Chloe but after the Love Island 2017 line-up was announced he publicly slammed her and revealed they were dating. After she left the villa they briefly reunited before calling it quits.
7 of 18Kem Cetinay and Kendall Rae-Knight
Days after being the first dumped Love Island 2018 star, Kendall Rae Knight was apparently spotted kissing 2017 winner Kem Cetinay. Although Kem insisted they're just friends.
8 of 18Niall Aslam and Rosie Williams
Love Island fans were devastated when Niall Aslam left the villa after eight days but a few weeks later there was a lot of speculation that he was dating Rosie Williams.
9 of 18Charlie Frederick and Lucie Donlan
Charlie Frederick didn't get the best of chances in the Love Island 2018 villa; he was partnered with the iconic Hayley Hughes but they were quickly dumped. When the 2019 series started, Charlie slammed Lucie and said she's "most definitely not looking for love". Lucie didn't take it lightly and clapped back at him.
10 of 18Charlie Frederick and Arabella Chi
Charlie also got with Arabella before she entered the villa. He actually claimed that the model was a 'liar' and hinted they were still dating even when she went into the villa. After being booted from Love Islandshe branded him an 'idiot' and said they had blocked each other before she went on the reality show.
11 of 18Kaz Crossley and Theo Campbell
We really thought Kaz Crossley and Josh Denzel were going to last but alas they didn't. A few months after announcing their split Kaz announced on Instagram that she moved on with 2017 legend Theo Campbell.
12 of 18Jess Shears and Dom Lever
Jess and Dom were happily coupled up in the villa but when the boys voted for her to leave they were both left devastated. Although, Dom wasn't that upset because he didn't follow her out the door... Then there were reports that something went down with Mike Thalassitis but after Dom left Love Island he reunited with Jess, the pair got married and they've had kids together.
13 of 18Sam Gowland and Amber Davies
Love Island and Geordie Shore fans were stunned when Chloe Ferry claimed that her ex-boyfriend Sam cheated on her with Amber Davies. Dramz. Sam and Amber have both denied the accusations but Chloe has insisted they're true.
14 of 18Wes Nelson and Amber Davies
In January 2019 following all that Dancing on Ice drama with Vanessa Bauer, Wes and Megan Barton Hanson split. However a couple of months later there were reports that Wes had been 'sexting' 2017 winner Amber. Then on Celebs Go Dating, Megan claimed he had been messaging another Love Island star before she appeared to brand Amber a "snakey b-tch" on Instagram. Amber denied the rumours in an emotional tweet.
15 of 18Eyal Booker and Kendall Rae Knight
Tbf, these two did share a little kiss on the main show, but then things got hella steamy and a little weird tbh in the reunion show when they snogged in a swimming pool. Nothing long term came of it.
16 of 18Ellie Brown and Michael Griffiths
Michael Griffiths and Ellie Brown got together during MTV's Celebrity Ex On The Beach. They both said they were single as the show ended but then posted cute pictures together on social media. However, that came grinding to a halt when Michael started posting cute pictures with other women too.
17 of 18Rebecca Gormley and Biggs Chris
Beauty queen Rebecca Gormley chose to couple up with Jordan Waobikeze instead of Biggs in the Love Island villa, following her failed romances with Connagh Howard, Wallace Wilson and Luke Trotman. She clearly regretted her decision though as she coupled up with Biggs just weeks after being dumped and returning to the UK. Despite cheating rumours on both sides, they're still going strong.
18 of 18Luke Mabbott and Lucie Donlan
Romance blossomed for the couple in summer 2020 and they 'confirmed' their relationship status when they shared the same photo (of a hot tub) to Instagram. As is the modern way.
It's not called friendship island, but if you want to apply for the show chances are you'll meet some of your mates in there.
Adam Collard and Ellie Brown were friends before they went into the villa in 2018, Arabella Chi and Lucie Donlan had a fling with 2018 contestant Charlie Frederick AND Amber Gill knew Adam and Ellie before winning the show in 2019.
If you want to go on Love Island we've got all the details but, judging by former stars, you could also have a shot at getting on the ITV show by having an agent or getting scouted in a shop.
