Isn't there something super cute but also super surprising when a Love Island couple go the distance?

In the decade that the romance reality show has been on our telly there have actually been a few success stories. Can y'all believe Molly May Hague and Tommy Fury's relationship blossomed from Love Island 2019? In our eyes they've been together since day dot.

Not forgetting Love Island 2016 finalists, Olivia Buckland-Bowen and Alex Bowen who are now married off with a kid and everything.

Another two Islanders who look set to follow in the successful steps of their fellow Love Island couples is Tanya Manhenga and Shaq Muhammad.

Tanya and Shaq have taken a huge step in their relationship

Sure, they had a rollercoaster of a romance on the dating show and, sure, we weren't convince it would work after Tanya returned with Casa Amor bombshell, Martin Akinola, but against the odds, the couple are thriving.

When we say thriving we mean they have only gone and moved in together.

Sharing a pic on their Instagram of them holding keys, the winter Love Island finalists updated their followers on the news.

"WE HAVE A NEW HOME 🏠❤️

"Guess there’s no escaping now 😅 Have to thank God always for this next step in our lives. Looking forward to this next chapter 🫶🏾."

Love Island 2022 star, Indiyah Polack jumped into the comments section to share her love "Awww congrats guysss! 🥺🥺💕💕💕"

Their fellow winter Love Island villa mate Tom Clare wrote, "So buzzing for you guys!!!", with his partner in crime Casey O'Gorman demanding, "When’s the house warming pls?"

When is the housewarming actually and can we come along?

During her stint in the South African villa, Tanya received some backlash and was even deemed "a villain," due to her treatment of Shaq with viewers adding her to the 'Destinys Chaldish' crew.

ICYMI, Destiny's Chadlish was a clan of naughty Love Island lads started by Michael Griffiths during his reign of terror on Love Island 2019. Fans threw Tanya's name into mix when she returned from Casa with Martin on her arm after telling Shaq she loved him. Whoops.

But fast forward to September 2023 and the couple are clearly doing better than ever so let's pluck her out of Destiny's Childish and back into the arms of her fella, yeah?
