Love Island UK’s Wil Anderson and Uma Jammeh Are Engaged

by

These bombshells’ love is stronger than ever outside the villa.

It’s worth noting that Love Island UK’s former contestant Uma Jammeh has recently shared some exciting news: she is now officially engaged to Wil Anderson, whom she met during season 11 and rekindled their bond with over the past year.

Uma, wearing a stunning green halter dress and flashing her sparkling ring, titled her July 14 Instagram post, “We’ve been holding onto some juicy secrets.

At the same time, Wil showed his enthusiasm by quoting Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies”, saying, “Since I loved it, I decided to propose with a ring.

Speaking about the accessory, the reality star displayed a three-stone ring with a pear-shaped diamond at its heart, flanked by two smaller diamonds as decorative elements.

In the previous season of the reality show, a 24-year-old contestant gained popularity among viewers. However, on day 37, she chose to exit the Spanish villa after Reuben Collins picked another woman when she was paired with Wil, leaving Wil single. Later, Uma disclosed that this decisive moment came when she was selected by Reuben while in a relationship with Wil.

She stated, during the Not My Bagg podcast in July, that her choice was clear-cut and required no contemplation. What she desires is to be with Wil.

Uma made clear that joining the dating competition was not about reaching the finals, but primarily about finding true love. In her own words, she entered the competition seeking a unique experience and hoping to encounter someone special.

I’ve found myself in a unique situation, Lisa and Joe,” I shared. “Connecting with someone on the level I did with Wil took time and patience. With only two weeks left, I wasn’t ready to force a new bond or pretend. Instead, I chose authenticity over artifice.

She explained, “I took that action primarily for myself, not to comfort Wil. The thought of being alone and unhappy in that place would have been unbearable for me, and it just wouldn’t have felt right. I needed to remain authentic to my true self.

To see where more Love Island couples stand, keep reading.

The duo initially crossed paths during season 11 of “Love Island UK”. On the 37th day, Uma parted ways along with Wil, as he got eliminated from the island following her selection by Reuben Collins.

In July 2025, exactly one year after their separation, Uma revealed that she and Wil were now engaged. On Instagram, she playfully posted, “We’ve been keeping a secret – a wonderful surprise indeed!

For the reality star, staying on Love Island after Wil’s exit didn’t seem like an option.

She made her choice without a moment’s hesitation, as clear as day on the Not My Bagg podcast, she expressed that she wanted nothing more than to be with Wil.

She confided in Lisa and Joe that she had developed feelings for another person. She added that it took her a considerable amount of time to reach the level of comfort with this individual that she once shared with Wil. With only two weeks left, she didn’t want to feign a new relationship; instead, she decided to be truthful about her feelings.

In the heat of my journey on Love Island USA, I stumbled upon many paths, some felt rocky and uncertain, making me feel like my love had to be diluted. But every twist and turn led me to discover my very own Prince Charming – you, Bryan. You’re a man who not only fills up my emotional tank but also thrives on the torrent of feelings I unleash. You made me remember that I am a bird capable of soaring, regardless of where I perch. We are two souls who seem to be misconstrued by many, yet we understand each other perfectly. Your quirks never cease to make me laugh, and you’ve challenged me to evolve as a partner. I eagerly look forward to walking hand in hand with you, nurturing the seed of our love that we’ve sown together.

In this reality show, it was only Olandria and Nic who started on day one and made it to the finale. They kept viewers guessing as they navigated their relationship, going from friends to potential partners and back again.

During the finale, Olandria expressed that a strong foundation for any relationship is friendship without expectations or pressure, allowing individuals to learn about each other over time. She hinted that the person who has been by your side throughout the journey might be the one you’re destined to find.

The runners-up couldn’t help but ponder if they were meant for each other from the start. Nic added that their relationship blossomed because they missed the signs initially, being deeply involved with other connections at first. However, as they faced unexpected challenges together, they grew closer and discovered a bond they didn’t know existed.

With time, they realized that leaving the villa opened new doors for them, and when Nic left the villa, a sign appeared on their life path—the opportunity to couple up and strengthen their relationship further. So, what lies ahead for #NicOlandria? Only time will tell.

Nic wasn’t certain about the direction our relationship would take, be it a partnership, romance, or deep friendship,” he said. “Regardless, I’ve cherished your companionship as we journeyed together on life’s winding road, and it all seems perfectly fitting.

In the final episode of “Love Island,” Iris shared her delight saying, “My experience here has been amazing because it began with you as my closest friend, and now I’m leaving with you as someone I’m eager to explore our relationship further in reality.”

Pepe, on the other hand, expressed their deep bond, stating, “Our connection grew stronger each day, and I can honestly say from the depths of my heart that you are the only woman I could have imagined myself leaving with. You bring out a side of me that I cherish, and I am grateful for that. From walking in together and supporting one another to walking out together and caring even more deeply for each other, thank you, Iris. Here’s to many more days and memories we will create together.”

They both seem optimistic about their future prospects.

Among Kordell and Serena’s many long-term goals? Sticking together.

And the Love Island USA season six winners are still very much in love.

On Kordell’s birthday in May 2025, Serena posted on Instagram, ‘Happiest of birthdays to my dream man in every sense,’ a year later and I’m still captivated by you. It’s incredible to witness your growth and the realization of your dreams, I am incredibly proud of the man you are becoming day by day. I eagerly look forward to celebrating more birthdays with you! Thank you for being an outstanding boyfriend, partner, friend, and making me the happiest girl I’ve ever been.

As a lifestyle advisor, I can confidently share that Love Island USA’s season six runners-up, Leah and Miguel, are still going strong! In his own words, “Each day just gets better and better,” and I couldn’t agree more with her sentiment.

Leah posted on Instagram for Miguel’s birthday in March 2025: ‘You radiate sunshine warmth constantly, always.’ I will eternally be thankful that you entered my life, bringing nothing but love, tranquility, happiness, security, and unadulterated joy with you. My dear one, who could even make the act of watching paint dry enjoyable. I couldn’t have imagined someone better myself, honestly thinking men like you were extinct or only existed in films. You possess a soul as pure as they come, with the kindest intentions towards all and everything.

Following their third-place finish in Love Island USA Season Six (year 2024), JaNa and Kenny carried on with their relationship beyond the show’s screen.

On Instagram, he wrote for her birthday in December: ‘My beloved Pookie Bear, my heart, my Nay Nay.’ It’s been a privilege to stand by your side during the past few months and witness your courage as you conquer the world.

He went on to say, “What I admire most about your girlfriend is her heart. Her smile illuminates any space she enters, making everyone around her feel cherished, valued, and adored. She’s as stunning on the inside as she is on the outside, a fact that often leaves me speechless. I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have her in my life.

In February 2025, I added a message to Kenny on his birthday: “You’re not only my best friend, but also my sanctuary. Sharing life with you is something I truly cherish. Your love grants me the courage to be who I am around you, and for that, I will always be grateful.

Previously, both Josh and Sophie had attempted to find their matches on Love Island. In 2015, Josh ended up in third place with Lauren Richardson. Five years later, Sophie made her entrance into the villas. However, it was destiny that brought them together when they appeared on Love Island: All Stars in 2024, ultimately finishing in third place as well.

In a post on Instagram back in February, she expressed, “We’re only just getting started!” She went on to express her heartfelt gratitude to all who have been part of our voyage, saying, “Your support truly makes the world of difference to us.

And she was correct that it was only the start of their forever journey.

In March 2025, Josh posted on Instagram: “It’s our first anniversary! I still can’t believe you’ve stuck with me all this time. Here’s to many more years, as I’m sure you know what you’re getting yourself into. Love you forever.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d say: In the heartwarming continuation of Love Island UK’s seventh season, the triumphant champions of 2021 took their love tale beyond the villa walls and into the real world last August. Their devotion was truly tested during Casa Amor, but they emerged stronger than ever.

In July 2022, they publicly ended their relationship via social media, but by June of the following year, they had reconciled. Now, Millie and Liam share snippets of their shared life on various social platforms – showcasing their adventures, workout routines, and dates. Additionally, they host a podcast under their shared name.

 
 

In the second season of “Love Island USA,” broadcast during summer 2020, the couple fell in love. However, they revealed their separation in January that followed.

The first-season champions of Love Island USA, who formed a couple on the very first day and remained together, dated for numerous months until the close of 2019 when they mutually decided to part ways. Zac expressed their decision on his Instagram Stories, stating that they had different aspirations moving forward. Their separation was amicable.

In her remarks, Elizabeth expressed, “Though I desired a different outcome, life doesn’t always follow our best expectations.

However, she found love again—getting engaged to Gianni Settino in December 2024.

In her Instagram post from July 2024, she wrote, “If you’re currently tuned in to ‘Love Island USA,’ I want to share some exciting news: Yes, I’ve re-coupled five years after the fact.

The second place couple from Love Island USA remained a couple for several months after the show, but they broke up in late November 2019. They both announced their split on their individual Instagram Stories. Alex, the lacrosse coach, said, “Alex and I are no longer together.” He added, “Sometimes things don’t work out as planned.

Alex clarified that “heartbreak can be tough,” further stating, “For me, our relationship was like a classic fairy tale, but unfortunately, not all stories have happy endings.

Despite not emerging victorious, the beloved couple from Love Island USA attempted to navigate long-distance relationships by traveling to spend holidays together. However, Caro disclosed in a YouTube video uploaded in July 2020 that she had ended the relationship. She stated, “He didn’t seem as committed to the relationship as I was, which is why I chose to part ways with him.

In October 2023, an intriguing development surfaced when Caro announced her marriage to Rene Lacad, which had taken place the preceding month. Later in December, she disclosed that she and her newly-wed spouse were anticipating a baby girl. Their daughter, Amina, was born in April 2024.

In her Mother’s Day 2025 Instagram post, it said: “Amina’s message to me: Thanks for being my mom,” which left me speechless. Nothing compares to that feeling.

In an unexpected twist for the American version of the show, Kyra decided to leave it to pursue a possible relationship with Cashel after he was sent home. However, she discovered that he had already come back. Sadly, this musically talented pair broke up in October 2019.

By November’s close, they managed to make up, but Kyra and Cashel decided to part ways permanently in February 2020.

OR

Kyra and Cashel were reconciled by the time November was over, but they officially ended their relationship in February 2020 for good.

In a recent conversation on the NoFilter podcast, I shared that things didn’t quite work out as planned between us. I believe we’re at distinct stages in our lives right now, and for transparency, I must admit that I suspect she has chosen to block my phone number.

In the following year, Kyra graced several other shows such as “Match Me If You Can” in 2021, “The Challenge: USA” in 2022 (where Cashel also participated), and “Love Island Games” in 2023. However, she eventually found her perfect match away from the camera with dental student and ex-basketball player Tal Sahar in 2024.

In May 2025, it was reported that Cashel was imprisoned in Utah due to accusations of domestic violence and assault, as per online documents. A fresh set of charges for assault and domestic violence were brought against him the subsequent month.

As reported by NBC News, Cashel contested the accusations through his lawyer, Andrew K. Deesing, who stated, “My client and his family are going through an extremely challenging period, and we kindly request that their privacy is maintained as we tirelessly work to safeguard his name and reputation. At this moment, we’re just beginning our investigation, and we currently have no additional comments to make.

In contrast to many doubting their long-term prospects, the first season’s American pair, Weston and Emily, briefly dated off-screen following their time together in the villa before eventually parting ways.

She clarified in a YouTube video from May 2020 that Weston and she are no longer a couple. Currently, she’s on her own. Essentially, they experienced quite the emotional ups-and-downs throughout their relationship. The long distance made it particularly challenging, especially since she was attending college during that time.

In the tenth season of “Love Island UK”, the winning couple exited the villa triumphantly. However, their relationship didn’t last long; they announced their split a mere two months later in October 2023.

According to Sammy, the breakup came as a “total shock.”

He mentioned that we previously discussed something privately, but the matter remains unresolved since Jess is currently out of town and we haven’t had a chance to meet face-to-face. To make things clear, he wanted to express that he was hoping our relationship could be salvaged and believed this approach would be the most respectful way to proceed.

Sammy stated, “Even though things didn’t go as planned today, I believe Jess is a truly remarkable woman, and I sincerely hope she thrives.

In the first half of 2025, Sammy made an appearance on “Love Island: All Stars”. During his stay, he developed a romantic connection with Elma Pazar. However, whispers of a breakup began in June 2025.

In the inaugural winter season of Love Island, the winning pair quickly formed a relationship and managed to stay united through all the challenges that the villa posed.

They moved in together in 2020, but called it quits three years later. 

Paige stated during an interview on ‘Love Island: After Sun’ in June 2023 that she and Finley are still close friends. However, she mentioned that they grew distant from each other. Fast forward to August 2024, Finley showcased a new relationship on Instagram. Although he initially kept his partner hidden, The Sun reported in June 2025 that Finley is currently dating Jess Hale.

In the 2020 season of “Love Island during Winter,” contestants Siannise and Luke, who were the runners-up, developed a romantic relationship within the villa. They continued dating for approximately a year following the show’s end, but unfortunately, they parted ways in November 2021.

Nevertheless, he swiftly moved on and became engaged to Chelsea Menna within the following year, specifically in 2022.

During his time at Casa Amor, the scaffolder turned into one of the most despised individuals in the U.K., as he chose to end his relationship with beloved contestant Shaughna Phillips for Molly. Ultimately, the audience decided to eliminate the couple from the villa.

For a span of three years after leaving the island, they remained as a pair. However, in the year 2023, they decided to go their individual ways.

In the following year, they both participated in the show called “Love Island: All Stars”. Molly paired up with Tom Clare and they were crowned winners of that season. On the other hand, Callum developed a relationship with Jess Gale and they ended up as the runners-up. However, Callum and Jess parted ways in 2024 (with Callum now dating Yasmin Deplidge), whereas Molly and Tom continue to be together.

In my expertise as a lifestyle advisor, I must say that the shift in public perception towards Nas during season six was quite noticeable. Initially, he was a crowd favorite. However, his decision to end things with Demi Jones following Casa Amor and move on with Eva led to a significant drop in support from fans.

Despite being eliminated from the program, Nas and Eva continued their relationship, and they officially declared it public in July 2020.

Although there were whispers of an engagement back in August 2023 when Eva was seen wearing a ring on her left hand, Nas clarified in March 2024 that they had actually ended their relationship.

On Instagram Story, Nas shared that he and Eva have mutually decided to part ways in a friendly and respectful manner. There’s no animosity or blame involved.

He mentioned, “For the past couple of months, we’ve been trying to find a resolution. However, we’ve concluded that it’s the most suitable choice, and we’re content with how things have turned out.

Nas went on to appear on Love Island: All Stars in early 2025, but ultimately left the villas solo.

In an unusual turn of events during the winter season, a pairing that wasn’t typically anticipated ended up finishing third. However, their relationship didn’t last long; they parted ways a few months after departing from the villa.

Demi shared with MailOnline in June 2020 that the relationship has ended permanently. She feels it was mostly his decision, but they remain on friendly terms. The lockdown and geographical distance between them contributed to growing apart, as there seemed to be a lack of communication effort on both sides.

Since then, Luke has formed a relationship with the stunning Lucie Donlan from season five, and they officially announced their romantic involvement in July 2020. The couple became engaged the following year.

In the thrilling world of Love Island: All Stars, I found myself captivated by a stunning woman named Demi, who graced our screens in the year of 2024. It was during this magical season that I crossed paths with none other than Luis Morrison. The spark between us was undeniable, yet fate had other plans; alas, we parted ways later that year. But, the memories of our time together remain etched in my heart forever.

In the sixth season, a relatively quiet couple finished fourth, and they continued to date for several months until they split up in June 2020.

Jess shared with her Instagram audience that she and Ched have parted ways, but they remain close friends. She expressed gratitude for the support everyone has shown them during their time in the villa.

Ah, that was a tough blow. Isn’t it frustrating when the victorious couple from a reality show splits up so soon after? In this case, Greg joined the villa quite late, and he and his partner were fan favorites, even winning season five. However, their romance didn’t last long; they parted ways only weeks following the finale.

After some debate and disagreement over the specifics of their breakup (it seems Greg, a rugby player living in Ireland, ended it through text), Amber expressed on Loose Women, “I believe our careers and the distance were always an issue. It was something we were aware of, so I’m not sure what shifted. I wanted to try to make it work, but things are what they are, essentially.

Regarding Greg, he spoke up on RTE’s The Late Late Show, expressing himself by saying, “She resides in the UK. Every brand is eager to collaborate with her, every event wants her present, naturally, she deserves all of it. That’s why I chose to return to Ireland and pursue my endeavors here.

However, he found a new connection and kicked off 2025 by proposing to his love Jeanni Mulder.

Following an intense beginning to their relationship, the Instagram influencer and the boxer soon emerged as the strongest pair in season five. Consequently, their runner-up finish took many by surprise.

In July 2024, they became engaged; this happened six months following the arrival of their child, whom they named Bambi. However, in August 2024, Molly-Mae unexpectedly announced their separation.

She regretfully disclosed on Instagram Stories that her relationship with Tommy has concluded. Regardless, I’ll always cherish the most significant aspect of my life – my lovely daughter. She is here because of us, and she will remain my top concern.

In the May 2025 installment of her Amazon Prime show, “Molly-Mae: Beyond the Surface,” she disclosed that she and Tommy had decided to rekindle their romance.

As a diehard fan, I can confidently say that among the most divisive couples from Love Island season five was this pair who, despite weathering a storm of drama, managed to prove their naysayers wrong. In 2019, they stepped out of the villa and took their relationship to new heights, silencing those who had questioned their compatibility.

In a conversation on UK’s “This Morning” show, Maura emphasized three key points about maintaining their relationship: First, trust each other deeply; second, be skeptical about news in the media; and most importantly, remain humble and avoid letting fame change you. She added that staying grounded is crucial.

However, the pair broke up in March 2020. 

In her Instagram post, Maura announced that she and Curtis have chosen to go their separate ways after enjoying a wonderful journey together on Love Island. She expressed gratitude for everyone who supported their relationship. Despite this, Curtis’ Love Island adventure didn’t end there. He participated in Love Island: Games in 2023 for a brief stint before returning for Love Island: All Stars two years later. There, he and Ekin-Su finished third, but ultimately decided to part ways a few months after the show ended.

In a May 2025 Instagram post, as reported by People, Ekin-Su stated that she and Curtis had chosen to part ways. She wrote that it was a difficult choice, but one made with affection and respect for each other. He is an exceptional individual, she added, and the memories they shared, both within and beyond the villa, will always hold a special place in her heart.

Almost a full year following their victory as champions of “Love Island” season eight in 2022, Davide disclosed that they had ended their relationship.

2023, here I am, pouring my heart out as a devoted fan. In June of this year, I penned down a post on Instagram expressing the bittersweet reality: “Ekinsuofficial and I have parted ways.” The journey we embarked upon together was filled with cherished memories and life-changing opportunities that I will forever treasure. As difficult as it is, I wish her nothing but happiness and success in all her future endeavors. Let us all honor our decision during this challenging time by extending understanding and respect. Rest assured, my support for Ekin remains unwavering as she continues to shine brighter than ever.

Not long after, the pair rekindled their romance. However, they ended up calling it quits again.

In an Instagram post in January 2024, as reported by Cosmopolitan UK, Ekin-Su put it this way: “The past 18 months have been a emotional ride, much like any relationship. Davide and I truly wanted to make things work because we had strong feelings for each other. Regrettably, I’ve decided to part ways with him recently. Breakups are never straightforward. They’re tough on every couple, and we kindly ask for our privacy to be honored. I cherish the moments we shared together.

In the year 2024, Davide rekindled his affection towards Iris Au, while dating her during the summer months. As for Ekin-Su and Curtis, after finishing third on Love Island: All Stars in early 2025, they briefly dated outside of the villas. However, their relationship didn’t last long and ended a few months later.

Despite many other couples in the villa starting their journey earlier, this particular couple entered the scene a bit late (with fan-favorite Ovie arriving during Casa Amor’s dramatic episodes and India joining even later). However, they managed to reach the final round, earning the third place spot for season five in 2019.

However, the professional basketball player and the model quietly parted ways later that year.

She shared with MailOnline that, indeed, breakups are tough, and this one is no exception, given the public nature of it all. However, she assured everyone that she will persevere and be alright. Fortunately, she has a tight-knit circle of female friends who have been providing her with extra care and support during this challenging time.

In early 2025, India appeared on Love Island: All Stars but left the show single.

On the first day of season five, Lucie and Joe began partnering up. However, following his elimination from the villa, Lucie swiftly started dating several other men, even confessing to having deep feelings for a taken Tommy. This came as quite a shock to fans when they announced that they were in a relationship after their season concluded.

Similarly to how their first love story ended, the surfer and the sandwich maker’s second chance didn’t last, leading them to separate in early December 2019.

Although Lucie is currently betrothed to Luke from season six, it appears that Joe, who attempted to court someone during All Stars in 2024, is reveling in his current bachelor status.

After leaving the villa during the second half of season five, Anton and Belle decided to part ways romantically, but they managed to maintain a friendship. However, Anton clarified that there would be no possibility for their relationship to be rekindled in a romantic sense.

The creator of the fitness app made it clear to Mail Online that it was absolutely not the case, emphasizing it wasn’t the type of relationship in question. He explained that their current friendship was similar to being like siblings, which would make pursuing a romantic relationship inappropriate. In simpler terms, he clarified that the nature of their relationship had changed and it was no longer suitable for something romantic.

In the year 2024, Anton participated in “Love Island: All Stars,” a popular reality show. He and Georgia Harrison finished in fifth place together. But regrettably, their relationship didn’t last long after the show ended.

At a moment when viewers thought all hope for season three’s beloved character Camilla was gone, unexpectedly, Jamie made his appearance just in time, leaving no doubt as to whom he had come to support. Ahh!

Since their initial encounter in 2017, Camilla and Jamie have consistently performed well together. They tied the knot in September 2021 and are now proud parents to three children: Nell, born in October 2020; Nora, born in May 2022; and Brodie, born in May 2024.
