Dust off your bikinis and get ready to return to the Villa.

Season eight of Love Island USA will kick off on Tuesday, June 2nd, streaming on Peacock. Ariana Madix is back to host the show, which is filmed in Fiji, the network announced on March 13th.

But fans don’t have to wait until summer to get their fix of sexy singles searching for love.

The second season of Love Island: Beyond the Villa, which follows popular contestants from season seven, will be back on Wednesday, April 15th.

The show’s cast features winners Amaya Espinal and Bryan Arenales, along with other popular contestants from Love Island – Gracyn Blackmore, Jeremiah Brown, Clarke Carraway, Hannah Fields, Pepe Garcia, Iris Kendall, TJ Palma, Andreina Santos, and Chris Seeley – as they adjust to life after the show.

Joining the team are Belle-A Walker, Coco Watson, Taylor Williams, Charlie Georgio, and Austin Shepard.

Coming home from a tropical vacation in Fiji and dealing with sudden fame proved to be a difficult adjustment, as hinted at in the trailer for the show’s second season. The first season of this series followed contestants from season six of the original show.

Amaya, recently single, shared the story of her unexpected breakup with Bryan. She explained that she had finally confessed her feelings for him, only to receive a breakup text shortly after.

Oh my gosh, the sneak peek! It showed Amaya finally confronting her ex, and it absolutely broke my heart! She just looked right at him and said, ‘You just left me by myself,’ and honestly, I felt that in my SOUL. It’s going to be epic, and I’m already bracing for the fallout!

Meanwhile, Iris and TJ are heating up—fully clothed this time—as she admits, “I really like TJ.”

He then officially asks her, “Will you be my girlfriend?”

Things get tense when Hannah subtly insults her ex, Pepe, calling him a “loser.” Meanwhile, Iris agrees, saying Pepe has changed since being on the show.

Hannah isn’t worried about either of her past relationships with Pepe or Charlie. They meet again for the first time since the season seven reunion, and Hannah playfully asks Charlie if she was expected to be heartbroken for a very long time.

Hey everyone! As your go-to lifestyle guru, I’m excited to let you know that Love Island USA is back on Tuesday, June 2nd at 6 PM Pacific Time/9 PM Eastern! And if you’re already craving more behind-the-scenes action, Beyond the Villa returns on Wednesday, April 15th – you won’t want to miss it!

Wondering what happened to your favorite couples from Love Island? Keep reading for an update on who’s still together and who’s gone their separate ways.

Although the couples from Love Island UK season four left the show together in 2018, their relationships didn’t last long after they returned from Mallorca, and they’ve all moved on since then.

I was so excited to hear that Ellie got engaged in July 2025! It’s lovely to see their relationship blossoming – they’ve been together for about a year now, and she’s kept the details of her fiancé private, which is perfectly fine. It’s all about what feels right for them!

Uma and Wil first connected on season 11 of Love Island UK. After Wil was eliminated from the island, Uma chose to leave with him, following his dumping and after Reuben Collins had expressed interest in her.

In July 2025, a year after they first moved in together, Uma revealed she and Wil were engaged. She shared the news on Instagram, posting a picture of her engagement ring with the caption, “We’ve been keeping a secret!”

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

She explained on the Not My Bagg podcast that her decision was immediate. “I didn’t even have to consider it,” she said. “I just knew I wanted to be with Wil.”

She told Lisa and Joe Baggs that she’s started seeing someone new. It took her a long time to feel as comfortable with this person as she did with her ex, Wil. With only two weeks left in her previous situation, she didn’t want to pretend there was a connection if there wasn’t one, and preferred to be upfront about how she felt.

As a lifestyle observer, I noticed things got interesting with Amaya and Bryan around the time their season seven reunion aired last August. It started with them unfollowing each other on Instagram – always a bit of a tell, right? Unfortunately, just two days later, Amaya confirmed the news: she and Bryan had decided to go their separate ways. It’s never easy seeing a couple split, especially one that seemed so strong!

She explained on Instagram that after leaving the villa, it was obvious we wanted different things. She said relationships should be a partnership, and you don’t need to experience everything firsthand to understand something isn’t right.

Olandria and Nic were the only couple who were together from the very beginning and made it to the final round. Throughout the show, they kept viewers guessing as they explored other potential partners and wavered between staying friends and becoming a couple.

During the finale, Olandria explained, “I believe a strong relationship starts with friendship – getting to know someone without pressure or expectations.” She realized that the person who’s been there for you all along might be the one you’re meant to be with.

The runners-up wondered if that had been true for them the entire time.

Nic added, “What made our relationship special was that we almost missed it! We both started out focused on other people, but I always had a secret crush on you. We faced unexpected challenges and were even briefly removed from the show. But when you opened the car door for me as I left, it felt like a sign. We were given a chance to connect and build something we hadn’t realized was possible.”

So, what does the future hold for Nic and Olandria?

Nic shared at the reunion that they and their partner prefer to move at their own pace and don’t feel rushed by external expectations. They’re enjoying traveling together and already have more dates in the works.

Although Iris and Pepe didn’t become a couple until late in the season, they felt it allowed them to build a strong foundation of friendship first. During the finale, Iris shared how her experience on Love Island was amazing, explaining that she came onto the show with Pepe as a close friend and was now leaving with the hope of exploring a deeper connection with him outside of the villa. The couple, who finished in fourth place, confirmed they were exclusively dating at the reunion. However, rumors of a split began circulating beforehand when fans noticed they had unfollowed each other on Instagram.

He confirmed their breakup on Aug. 28. 

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.

Serena shared a heartfelt birthday message to Kordell on Instagram in May 2025, expressing how deeply in love she still is with him after nearly a year together. She celebrated watching him pursue his dreams and becoming the incredible person he is, and excitedly anticipates many more birthdays with him. She thanked him for being her amazing boyfriend, partner, and friend, and for bringing so much happiness to her life.

Leah and Miguel, who finished as runners-up on season six of Love Island USA, are still together and thriving. Miguel says things are constantly improving, and Leah wholeheartedly agrees!

Leah shared a heartfelt birthday message for Miguel on Instagram in March 2025, describing him as a constant source of warmth and happiness. She expressed deep gratitude for his presence in her life, saying he brought love, peace, joy, and a sense of security. She playfully noted he could make even the most mundane things enjoyable and confessed she thought men like him were rare – existing only in movies. Leah finished by praising his kind heart and genuinely good intentions towards everyone.

JaNa and Kenny finished third on Love Island USA season six in 2024, but they split up in July 2025 after dating for about a year, according to TopMob News.

The news came as a shock to fans, who adored their sweet tributes to one another online.

He celebrated her birthday in December 2024 with a sweet Instagram post, calling her his “Pookie Bear,” “Love,” “Heart,” and “Nay Nay.” He expressed how grateful he was to have supported her over the past few months as she pursued her goals.

He went on to say that her smile brightened any space she entered. No matter how much attention she received, she always made everyone around her feel cherished and valued. He thought she was equally beautiful inside and out, which was why he often found himself staring at her, completely captivated. He felt incredibly fortunate to have her in his life.

Jana was added to the plans for Kenny’s birthday in February 2025, along with a heartfelt message: “You’re not just my best friend, you’re my safe place. I love sharing life with you. Your love allows me to be myself around you, and I’m forever grateful for that.”

Josh and Sophie had both previously looked for love on Love Island – Josh finished third with Lauren Richardson in 2015, and Sophie joined the show five years later. When they both appeared on Love Island: All Stars in 2024, it finally clicked, and they finished in third place.

She posted on Instagram that February, simply writing, “Just the beginning.” She also expressed her gratitude, saying that the support they’d received meant everything to her.

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

In a March 2025 Instagram post celebrating their first anniversary, Josh wrote a sweet message to his partner. He playfully acknowledged his own flaws and expressed gratitude for their patience, jokingly warning them that there would be many more years just like this one. He finished with a loving message.

The winners of the 2021 season of Love Island UK continued their relationship outside of the show, starting in August 2021. Their commitment was famously tested when the show introduced new singles during the ‘Casa Amor’ portion of season seven.

Millie and Liam revealed they had split up on social media in July 2022, but they got back together nearly a year later. Now, they share updates about their lives – including trips, fitness routines, and dates – with fans on social media and through their podcast, which is also named after them.

 
 

The couple met and fell in love on the second season of Love Island USA, which was broadcast in the summer of 2020, but they revealed they had split up the next January.

The first season of Love Island USA brought together a couple who stayed together from day one, but they ended their relationship in late 2019. Zac announced the split on Instagram, explaining that it was a mutual decision and they both wanted different things in life, but remained friendly.

Elizabeth said she was disappointed things didn’t work out as she’d hoped, but acknowledged that life doesn’t always go as planned.

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

In a July 2024 Instagram post, she jokingly announced to viewers of Love Island USA that she’s found love again, five years later.

The runners-up from the first season of Love Island USA broke up after dating for several months, announcing the split in November 2019 via Instagram. The lacrosse player shared that she and Alex were no longer a couple, explaining that “sometimes things just don’t work out.”

Alex acknowledged that going through heartbreak is difficult. They described their relationship as a beautiful, fairytale romance, but admitted that not all relationships last.

Though they didn’t win Love Island USA, the popular couple gave their relationship a try despite living far apart, traveling to see each other during the holidays. However, Caro revealed in a YouTube video in July 2020 that she had ended things. She explained that she felt he wasn’t as invested in the relationship as she was, which led to her decision to break up with him.

In October 2023, Caro surprised everyone by announcing she had secretly married Rene Lacad the previous month. Then, in December, she shared the wonderful news that they were expecting a daughter. Baby Amina arrived in April 2024.

In a Mother’s Day 2025 Instagram post, she expressed her gratitude to Amina, writing, ‘Thank you for letting me be your mom—it’s the best thing ever.’

One of the biggest surprises on the U.S. version of the show was Kyra’s decision to leave in hopes of reconnecting with Cashel, even after she’d initially eliminated him. However, she found out he’d already been brought back on the show. Sadly, the couple, who bonded over music, broke up in October 2019.

Kyra and Cashel briefly got back together by late November, but they ultimately broke up for good in February 2020.

He said on the No Filter podcast that they had given their relationship a good effort, but they were at different points in their lives now. He also admitted he believes she blocked his phone number.

Kyra continued her reality TV appearances with shows like Match Me If You Can in 2021, The Challenge: USA in 2022 (where Cashel also competed), and Love Island Games in 2023. However, she ultimately found love with Tal Sahar, a dental student and former basketball player, in 2024—away from the cameras.

As a lifestyle expert, I follow these kinds of cases closely, and it’s sadly a pattern I’ve seen before. Records show that in May of 2025, a man named Cashel was arrested in Utah and faced charges related to domestic violence and assault. Unfortunately, the legal issues didn’t stop there – just a month later, he was hit with new charges for assault and domestic violence again. It’s a really difficult situation, and highlights the importance of seeking help if you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence.

NBC News reports that Cashel has denied the accusations. His lawyer, Andrew K. Deesing, stated that Cashel and his family are going through a very tough time and asked for privacy while they work to clear his name. Deesing added that it’s too early in the process to offer any further details.

Even though many viewers and other couples on the show doubted their connection, Weston and Emily from season one of the US version of the show did try dating in real life for a short time before eventually splitting up.

She announced in a YouTube video in May 2020 that she and Weston had broken up. “I’m single now,” she said, explaining that their relationship had been difficult, particularly because of the distance while she was in college. She described their time together as a challenging “roller coaster.”

The winning couple from season 10 of Love Island UK broke up just two months after leaving the show, in October 2023.

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

He explained in an Instagram Story that they’d had a personal discussion, but it remained unresolved because Jess was traveling and they hadn’t been able to talk face-to-face. He wanted to clarify that he’d hoped to try and repair their relationship and believed addressing it directly was the right thing to do.

Okay, so Sammy just said this, and honestly, it kills me how sweet he is even after everything! He basically said that no matter what happened today, he still thinks Jess is incredible and really, truly wants her to be happy. Ugh, he’s too good for her, honestly, but it’s just so nice to hear him say that, even if it breaks my heart a little!

As a lifestyle observer, I remember early 2025 when Sammy entered Love Island: All Stars and quickly connected with Elma Pazar. Sadly, things didn’t last, and by June of that year, rumors started circulating that they’d gone their separate ways.

The first-ever winter season of Love Island saw the winning couple connect right away, and they managed to stay together even with all the challenges the show threw at them.

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

Paige and Finley remained friends even after their romantic relationship ended, as Paige shared in June 2023. She explained they simply grew apart. However, in August 2024, Finley introduced a new girlfriend on Instagram. Although they initially kept her identity a secret, The Sun reported in June 2025 that he is now dating Jess Hale.

Siannise and Luke, who were the runners-up on Winter Love Island in 2020, dated for around a year after meeting on the show, but they split up in November 2021.

However, he’s since found love again and got engaged to Chelsea Menna less than a year later in 2022.

The contestant earned widespread criticism in the U.K. after choosing Molly over Shaughna Phillips while at Casa Amor, ultimately leading to both of them being voted off the show.

Although they were together for three years after leaving the island, they split up in 2023.

I was so thrilled to see Molly and Callum both return for Love Island: All Stars! I was rooting for them the whole time. Molly ended up with Tom Clare, and they actually won – I was over the moon! Callum found a connection with Jess Gale, and they came in second, which was fantastic for them too. It’s sad to hear Callum and Jess didn’t last – he’s now with Yasmin Deplidge, but I’m so happy that Molly and Tom are still together! They’re a perfect match.

Nas began season six as a popular contestant, but he lost fans’ support after ending his relationship with Demi Jones to pursue Eva following Casa Amor.

Despite being eliminated from the show, Nas and Eva continued dating and officially became a couple in July 2020.

After rumors began circulating in August 2023 that Eva and Nas were engaged—spurred by a ring she was seen wearing—Nas announced in March 2024 that they had split up.

Nas announced on Instagram that he and Eva have decided to separate. He explained that the split was mutual and friendly, with no conflict or wrongdoing involved.

We spent the last few months trying to resolve our issues, but ultimately decided this was the best path forward for both of us, and we’re both comfortable with the decision.

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

A surprising couple formed during the winter season of the show finished in third place, but they broke up a few months after filming ended.

Demi explained to MailOnline in June 2020 that she and her partner had ended their relationship. While she felt the split originated more from his side, they parted ways amicably. She said the distance between them, combined with the restrictions of lockdown, created challenges, and a lack of communication ultimately led them to grow apart.

Luke and Lucie Donlan from season five of the show became a couple, and announced their relationship in July 2020. They got engaged in 2021.

Demi was a contestant on the 2024 season of Love Island: All Stars, where she connected with Luis Morrison. Unfortunately, their relationship didn’t last, and they split up later in the year.

The quiet couple from season six finished in fourth place and dated for a few months after the show, but they split up in June 2020.

Jess announced on Instagram that she and Ched have broken up, but they remain friends and she wishes him well. She also thanked everyone for their support since leaving the show.

It’s always disappointing when a winning couple doesn’t last, isn’t it? Greg and his partner were fan favorites who won season five of the show after meeting just weeks before the finale – especially surprising since Greg arrived at the villa late in the season. Sadly, they split up just a few weeks after winning.

Following some disagreement about the details of their breakup – reportedly Greg ended things with a text message while he was playing rugby in Ireland – Amber discussed it on the show Loose Women. She explained that she believed their careers and the distance between them were ongoing issues, and while they were aware of these challenges, she wasn’t sure why things ultimately fell apart. She admitted she’d hoped they could resolve it, but accepted that wasn’t possible.

Greg explained on RTE’s The Late Late Show that she lives in the UK and is in high demand from brands and events, adding that he chose to return to Ireland to focus on his own work.

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

Their relationship began with a lot of excitement, and the Instagram star and boxer quickly became the most stable couple on season five of the show. That’s why everyone was so shocked when they didn’t win!

Molly-Mae and her partner announced their engagement in July 2024, just six months after welcoming their daughter, Bambi. However, she surprisingly revealed they had broken up the very next month, in August 2024.

I’m heartbroken to share that Tommy and I have ended our relationship. I’ll always be thankful for our daughter, who means the world to me. She’s the most important thing in my life, and I’ll always put her first.

In May 2025, during an episode of her Amazon Prime show, Molly-Mae: Behind It All, she shared that she and Tommy were trying to make their relationship work again.

This couple was one of the most talked-about pairs from season five, facing a lot of ups and downs. Despite finishing in fourth place, they surprised many by continuing their relationship after the show ended in 2019.

Maura shared the secrets to her successful relationship on the UK show This Morning: trust each other, don’t believe everything you read in the media, and most importantly, stay humble. ‘You just need to stay grounded,’ she explained.

However, the pair broke up in March 2020. 

Maura announced on Instagram that she and Curtis have decided to go their separate ways. She shared that they had a wonderful time together on the show and were grateful for all the support they received.

Curtis continued to appear on Love Island after their initial split, participating in Love Island: Games in 2023 and then Love Island: All Stars in 2025, where he and Ekin-Su finished third. Unfortunately, that relationship also ended after a few months.

Ekin-Su announced on Instagram in May 2025 that she and Curtis have broken up, according to People. She explained it was a difficult decision made with a lot of love and respect for each other, and that she will always treasure their time together, both on and off the show.

Almost a year after winning Love Island season eight in 2022, Davide announced that he and Ekin-Su had split up.

In June 2023, he announced on Instagram that he and Ekin-Su are no longer a couple. He expressed gratitude for their shared experiences and wished her well, asking for privacy and respect during this challenging time. He also stated he will continue to support Ekin-Su in any way he can.

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

In a recent Instagram post, Ekin-Su shared that she and Davide have decided to end their 18-month relationship. According to screenshots from Cosmopolitan UK, she explained that while they both wanted the relationship to succeed and cared for each other, they’ve ultimately decided to go their separate ways. Ekin-Su acknowledged that breakups are difficult for anyone and asked for privacy as they move forward, expressing gratitude for the time and memories they shared.

Both Davide and Ekin-Su found love again after their time on reality TV. In the summer of 2024, Davide started dating Iris Au. Ekin-Su briefly dated Curtis after they finished third on Love Island: All Stars in early 2025, but they broke up a few months later.

Though Ovie arrived during the Casa Amor twist and India joined even later, the couple still managed to reach the final, finishing third on season five of the show in 2019.

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

It’s definitely been hard, but breakups are never easy,” she shared with MailOnline. “It’s especially tough when it happens publicly, but I’m going to be okay. I’m really grateful for my close friends, who have been taking great care of me.”

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

Lucie and Joe became a couple on the first day of season five. However, after Joe was eliminated from the show, Lucie dated several other contestants and even confessed strong feelings for Tommy, who was already in a relationship. That’s why fans were so surprised when they announced they were dating after the season finished.

Similar to their first relationship, the surfer and sandwich maker’s second try at love didn’t last, and they broke up in early December 2019.

Lucie is currently engaged to Luke from season six, but Joe, who recently pursued a relationship on All Stars in 2024, appears to be happily single.

Anton and Belle were the second couple from season five to break up shortly after leaving the villa, but they stayed friends. However, Anton made it clear that they wouldn’t get back together romantically.

“It’s definitely not a romantic relationship,” the fitness app creator told Mail Online. “We’re now just really good friends – it would feel like dating a sibling. It’s moved past that point.”

Anton competed on Love Island: All Stars in 2024, finishing in fifth place alongside Georgia Harrison. Unfortunately, their relationship didn’t last long and they broke up shortly after the show.
