After 11 seasons of Love Island (not Love Island Games, 'cause meh) we can all agree there have been some brilliant couples, but also some Islanders that should have never got together in the first place. NEVER.
From marriage and babies to fall outs and toxic break ups, even after the show finished they managed to keep us entertained.
While we wait for the show to return for All Stars 2025 and gift us with yet more iconic couplings, we thought we'd look back at those whose love has stood the test of time.
CHECK OUT: Love Island couples still together... and the ones that called it a day
All Love Island couples CLOSER
Josh Oyinsan and Mimii Ngulube (2024): SPLIT
Oh, Mimii Ngulube. We loved her from episode one and of Love Island 2024 our hearts broke when she returned from Casa Amor alone. Luckily Josh Oyinsan arrived, swept her off her feet and they won the show. Unluckily, they called it quits soon after the show wrapped and we're still in mourning.
Nicole Samuel and Ciaran Davies (2024): SPLIT
Nicole Samuel and Ciaran Davies hit it off from the get-go and made it all the way to the final, where they finished in second place.. They seemed totally loved up and even moved in together, but they sadly split in December 2024.
Matilda Draper and Sean Stone (2024): SPLIT
Matilda Draper and Sean Stone got together fairly early on and they managed to make it work despite his antics in Casa Amor... They came third and although they split soon after, Matilda - who is now dating TOWIE's Roman Hackett - has confirmed they're still besties and speak all the time.
Jessica Spencer and Ayo Odukoya (2024): SPLIT
Jessica Spencer and Ayo Odukoya recoupled during Casa Amor and while Mimii was left heartbroken, they went from strength to strength. They finished in fourth place, but sadly split in early October 2024. After Jess posted a video of her outfit on socials, one of her followers commented, 'Girl he needs to ask you yesterday' - we're assuming they mean Ayo needs to ask Jess to be his girlfriend. Jess then replied and confirmed they're no longer together, '"Girl" says who??? The internet?? He doesn't need to ask me anything because we're not together. Let it go.' Well, that's us told.
Jessy Potts and Joey Essex (2024): SPLIT
They met shortly before Casa Amor and despite Joey Essex's wandering eye, he stayed totally committed to Jessy Potts. They just missed out on the final, and managed to stay together until just after the NTAs in September before confirming they were no longer together.
Uma Jammeh and Wil Anderson (2024): STILL TOGETHER
If you told us back in July that Uma Jammeh and Wil Anderson would be the last remaining Love Island 2024 couple at the end of the year, we'd have laughed in your face. Okay, we wouldn't have gone that far, but we definitely wouldn't have believed you. But they've proved us all wrong after he went rogue in Casa Amor and are still happily together after moving into their first home.
Tom Clare and Molly Smith (2024): STILL TOGETHER

Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan (2023): STILL TOGETHER
A teacher and social worker winning winter Love Island wasn't on 2023 bingo card but we're so glad it happened. Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan met during Casa Amor and absolutely smashed their time in the villa. They won the show and are now engaged.
Shaq Muhammad and Tanya Manhenga (2023): SPLIT
Shaq Muhammad and Tanya Manhenga had a rocky time in the villa - remember when they said they loved each other after two weeks but then Tanya returned from Casa Amor with Martin Akinola? Surprisingly they managed to put the past behind them and stayed together for two years. In August 2024 they confirmed they'd split.
Jessie Wynter and Will Young (2023): STILL TOGETHER
Her fellow Islanders may have branded her 'fake' but Jessie Wynter and Will Young ignored all their opinions and it's a good job because they're still together - a year later (unlike some of their accusers).
Ron Hall and Lana Jenkins (2023): SPLIT
Ron Hall's head seem to turn at every bombshell but in the end he stuck with Lana Jenkins and they made it to the final. Unfortunately it didn't last and they split months after the winter 2023 series with Ron now dating Casa Amor girlie, Lydia Karakryiakou.

Indiyah Polack and Dami Hope (2022): STILL TOGETHER

Andrew Le Page and Tasha Ghouri (2022): STILL TOGETHER
They had a rocky time during the villa but since leaving Love Island Tasha Ghouri and Andrew Le Page are still together, have bought a house and even have matching rose tattoos. Andrew upped the ante and added more ink that represents his love for Tasha, a hand signalling 'ily' in BSL with her cochlear implant wrapped around it.
Ekin-Su and Davide (2022): SPLIT
Ekin-Su and Davide Sanclimenti offered us an iconic enemies to lovers trope during their Love Island stint. After moving in together, having their own TV show Homecomings and splitting up in June 2023, they got back together two months later but called it quits for good in January 2024.
Gemma Owen and Luca Bish (2022): SPLIT
Gemma Owen and Luca Bish became a couple pretty much from the beginning and while they had a few tiffs and Gem's ex Jacques O'Neill entered the villa, they made it to the final.

Lucinda Strafford and Aaron Francis : SPLIT
Love Island 2021's Lucinda Strafford left viewers shook when she moved on from Brad McClelland (with Aaron Francis) just two days after he sacrificed his place in the villa for her. Aaron and Lucinda were together for a couple of weeks before they found themselves dumped from the island following a public vote. Plot twist though, just 72 hours after landing back in Blighty, Lucinda announced that she and Aaron were just friends. She was then pictured holding hands with BRAD on a night out in Brighton, declaring that it 'was early days'. They've since split, and Lucinda went on to appear on Love Island Australia.
Demi Jones and Luke Mabbot (2020): SPLIT
Luke and Demi Jones were the shock last minute couple who made it to the final after their respective rollercoaster rides in the villa. They lasted a valiant four months but spending lockdown apart meant they were the first to split in June. Luke is now engaged to Love Island 2019 star Lucie.
Paige Turley and Finn Tapp (2020): SPLIT
Paige Turley and Finn Tapp coupled up as soon as Finn entered Love Island 2020 as one of the first boy bombshells and stayed thick as thieves throughout the whole series without even a hint of head turn. However, after three years together, the pair announced their split in June 2023 and then came face to face on Ex on The Beach.
Callum Jones and Molly Smith (2020): SPLIT
After Callum and Molly broke the nation's hearts by splitting up after three and a half years together, it did free up their schedules to appear on Love Island All Stars. While everyone wanted them to reunite on the show, they didn't but they do appear to be on good terms.
Nas Masood and Eva Zapico (2020): SPLIT

It was all rather precarious at one point when Maura Higgins came into the Love Island 2019 villa and caught Tommy Fury's eye but he decided to stick with Molly-Mae Hague. The couple moved in together soon after, got engaged and welcomed Bambi but in August 2024, Molly announced they'd split.
India Reynolds and Ovie Soko (2019) : SPLIT
Ovie Soko and India Reynolds have definitely been the some of the most successful bombshells of all time. The basketball player entered the villa during Casa Amor and India joined the show just weeks before the final. Needless to say, we were obsessed with them but they've since called it quits.
Lucie Donlan and Joe Garratt (2019): SPLIT

Joanna Chimonides and Michael Griffiths (2019): SPLIT
Michael Griffiths left us - and the villa - shook when he decided to recouple with Joanna Chimonides, leaving Amber single. Despite the awkwardness, Michael and Joanna seemed to kind of be working - until she was dumped from the island and then he said he still has feelings for Amber. He was then dumped from the villa and Joanna was then spotted 'kissing' Michael at a festival, but she went on to appear on Love Island All Stars, so it's safe to say they've split for good. Michael has since sparked rumours that he's recoupled with another Casa Amor star.
Harley Brash and Chris Taylor (2019): SPLIT
Despite being latecomers to the Love Island villa, Harley Brash and Chris Taylor won the public over - even after their drama following the Sidebar of Shame challenge. Two weeks after leaving the villa they called it quits and Chris then started dating Maura (spoiler: they've now broken up, too).
