Love Island U.K.’s Molly Smith & Tom Clare Are Engaged

These bombshells are taking their romance to the next level.

It was revealed that former contestants on Love Island UK, Molly Smith and Tom Clare, have just announced their engagement while vacationing in Dubai. This follows over a year since they began their relationship.

On September 4th, their shared Instagram post displayed tender moments from their proposal. Dressed in elegant silk attire, they strolled along a beach path illuminated by rows of white roses and candles. Once Tom, aged 26, proposed, they exchanged a loving kiss, and Molly, aged 31, proudly displayed her stunning ring – an oval diamond with a silver band.

As the couple fittingly captioned the post, “SHE SAID YES!!!”

Later on, Tom excitedly shared his enthusiasm for the announcement on his Instagram Stories. This confirmation revealed that he and Molly, who became acquainted during Love Island: All Stars in February, had also informed their close friends about the proposal. As a result, numerous heartwarming messages poured in from their circle of loved ones.

In a heartfelt message, stylist Ryan Kay expressed his joy by stating that he was “completely overwhelmed with pure happiness” upon hearing about their engagement. He shared a picture of himself reacting to the news on FaceTime. When they called him with the exciting news, he couldn’t think of a more perfect match for each other. He has always respected and admired their relationship. His heartfelt congratulations were followed by an invitation for some upcoming dress shopping adventures.

Apart from the stylist, various stars from Love Island UK also expressed their affection towards the couple by sending warm messages in the comment section.

Casey O’Gorman, who was on ITV’s reality show in its ninth season with Tom, posted, “Congratulations to my brother and his QUEEN!!! Now I have to write the best man speech of all time.” Similarly, Kaz Kamwi from season seven expressed her joy, writing “Congratulations guys!” with a teary-eyed emoji.

While British model Tasha Ghouri expressed her support for their relationship by posting, “Wow!!! The most stunning pair together!!!

In 2018, the participants from Love Island UK’s fourth season departed the villa as a pair, but their relationship didn’t last much beyond their return from Mallorca. Since then, they’ve each taken different paths.

In July 2025, Ellie revealed that she was now engaged to her unnamed boyfriend, having been in a public relationship with him for a year prior.

In the 11th season of Love Island UK, the pair initially crossed paths. Eventually, on day 37, Uma departed together with Wil, as he was eliminated following his selection by Reuben Collins for a new relationship.

In the month of July 2025, approximately a year since they parted ways, Uma revealed that she and Wil were set to wed. She expressed this joyously on Instagram, showing off her engagement ring, saying, “We’ve been keeping a significant secret between us.

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

She made it clear that there was no need for second thoughts regarding her decision, as she shared on the Not My Bagg podcast. What she meant was, “Wil is who I choose to be with.

She shared with Lisa and Joe that she had developed a relationship with someone else, explaining that it took her a significant amount of time to reach the same level of comfort with this person as she did with Wil. With only two weeks left, she didn’t want to pretend or force a new connection, so she chose instead to be straightforward about her feelings.

In August 2025, prior to the airing of the season seven reunion, Amaya and Bryan fueled breakup speculations when they stopped following each other on Instagram. Heartbreakingly, two days later, Amaya, known as the sensitive gangster, publicly announced their separation.

Upon departing from the villa, it was evident that our paths were diverging. Our goals didn’t match up and, as they say, relationships should be like a team game. You don’t need to swim the entire ocean to taste its saltiness.

On day one, only Olandria and Nic were the ones who made it from the start to the final round of the show. Throughout their journey, they kept viewers guessing as they navigated a complex relationship that fluctuated between friendship and more. During the finale, Olandria expressed her thoughts about the importance of friendship in relationships, stating, ‘I believe the key to a strong bond is friendship, without expectations or pressure, allowing individuals to learn and understand each other over time.’ Reflecting on their journey, she realized that the one who stayed by her side might have been her destined partner.

The runners-up couldn’t help but contemplate if they were meant for each other all along. Nic added, ‘What made our relationship unique was that we missed the signs initially, being deeply involved with other connections at the start. However, as we faced various challenges and obstacles, I found myself secretly admiring you. It wasn’t until we faced difficult moments like departures from the villa, that a sign emerged on the road of life – an opportunity to reconnect and strengthen our bond, which we never knew existed before.'”

As for the future of #NicOlandria, it remains to be seen!

At the reunion, Nic shared that they’ve consistently prioritized patience in their relationship and resist allowing external pressures to dictate its course. They mentioned enjoying joint vacations and having scheduled future outings.

In the finale of Love Island, Iris shared that her experience had been extraordinary as she went from having Pepe as her closest friend at the beginning to leaving with him as someone she’s eager to know more about in reality. Even though their romantic bond didn’t develop until late in the season, it allowed them to establish a relationship founded on friendship first. Despite finishing in fourth place and expressing excitement about their future together, there were whispers of a possible breakup before the episode due to Iris and Pepe unfollowing 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.

Warmest birthday wishes to the man who embodies my dreams in reality, Kordell. A year has passed, yet I’m still captivated by you. It’s awe-inspiring to witness your growth and see your dreams unfold, making me incredibly proud of the remarkable individual you’re becoming. I eagerly look forward to celebrating more birthdays with you! Thank you for being an outstanding boyfriend, partner, friend, and for making me the happiest girl around.

In simpler terms, we could say, “Love Island USA’s season six finalists Leah and Miguel are still together after the show. As Miguel expressed, ‘Each day just gets better.’ Unsurprisingly, Leah concurs with him on this.

On Miguel’s birthday in March 2025, Leah posted on Instagram, expressing him as a constant burst of sunshine warmth. She expressed eternal gratitude for his presence in her life, bringing love, peace, happiness, safety, and pure joy consistently. Even making the mundane task of watching paint dry enjoyable. She couldn’t have imagined better if she had dreamt him up herself, jokingly thinking such men were rare or only existed in movies. Leah admired his pure soul she was fortunate to meet, whose intentions were always kind and considerate towards everyone.

In the year following their third-place finish on Love Island USA’s sixth season in 2024, JaNa and Kenny called it quits in July 2025. This fact was verified by a source who spoke with TopMob News.

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

In his Instagram post on December 2024, he expressed his deep affection: “My dear Pookie Bear, my love, my heart, my Nay Nay. It’s been an honor to stand by your side over these past few months and witness your courage as you conquer the world.

He went on to say, “Your smile brightens any place you step into, and no matter how powerful the limelight may be, you consistently make people feel cherished, valued, and admired. Your inner beauty matches your outer charm, which is why I often find myself amazed and speechless. I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have you in my life.

I included Jana as a gift for Kenny’s birthday in February 2025, expressing: “You are not just my best friend, but my sanctuary. Sharing life with you brings joy. Your love grants me the courage to be authentic around you, and for that, I am eternally grateful.

In the past, both Josh and Sophie had sought their romantic matches on Love Island. Josh made it as far as third place with Lauren Richardson in 2015, while Sophie joined the villa five years later. However, fate seemed to conspire when they both participated in Love Island: All Stars in 2024, ultimately finishing in third position together.

She posted on Instagram in February, ‘This is just the start.’ A big thank you to all who’ve been with us during our adventure; your support truly makes a difference worldwide.

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

In March 2025, Josh posted on Instagram: “It’s our one-year anniversary! I can’t believe you’ve stuck around this long. Here’s to many more years together because I know you’re in for the long haul. Always love you.

In August 2021, the winners of Love Island UK’s seventh season, who had faced trials in the “Casa Amor” segment, took their romantic relationship from the villa into reality outside the show.

In the summer of 2022, they made public their separation via social media platforms. However, by around the same time the following year, it appears they had reconciled. As of now, Millie and Liam share snapshots of their joint experiences – trips, workouts, and dates – along with updates from their named podcast, on their social media accounts.

 
 

Back in the sweltering summer of 2020, when the electrifying chemistry between two souls was unfolding on season two of Love Island USA, little did we fans know that this romantic journey would come to a halt. Fast-forward to chilly January, they broke our hearts with the news of their separation. Oh, the agony!

In the first season of Love Island USA, the winning couple who formed a partnership from day one remained together for several months. However, towards the end of 2019, they mutually decided to part ways. Zac announced their separation on his Instagram Stories, stating that their paths had diverged and they desired different things.

In her statement, Elizabeth expressed that while she had wanted things to turn out differently, life doesn’t always go as we might wish.

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

In her July 2024 Instagram post, she wrote, “If you’re tuning into ‘Love Island USA’ currently, yes, five years on, I’ve found my new partner.

In November 2019, after dating for several months, the runners-up of Love Island USA, Alex and his partner, parted ways. Announcing their split on Instagram Stories, Alex expressed that sometimes relationships don’t succeed as he shared, “Alex and I are no longer together.

Alex pointed out that “going through heartache can be tough.” Sharing his experience, he said, “For me, our relationship had all the charm of a classic fairy tale. However, not every story has a happy ending, and unfortunately, ours didn’t quite work out as planned.

Though they didn’t emerge victorious, the beloved couple from Love Island USA endeavored to navigate long-distance relationships by traveling to celebrate holidays together. Yet, in a YouTube video posted in July 2020, Caro openly disclosed that she had ended the relationship. She expressed her reasons as follows: “He wasn’t as dedicated to our relationship as I was. That’s why I opted to part ways with him.

In October of 2023, Caro made an exciting announcement: she had married Rene Lacad the previous month. Later in December, she shared that she and her newlywed husband were expecting a baby girl. Their daughter, named Amina, was born in April 2024.

In her Mother’s Day post on Instagram 2025, it was written as a message to Amina: ‘Thank you for considering me as your mother.’ This sentiment was expressed with the addition, ‘There’s nothing more cherished in life.’

In simpler terms, the U.S. version of the show saw an unexpected pairing between Kyra and Cashel. After sending Cashel home, Kyra decided to leave the show to pursue a possible relationship with him. However, she discovered that he had already returned before they could reunite. Unfortunately, this musically inclined couple parted ways in October 2019.

Initially, Kyra and Cashel managed to resolve their differences by the end of November. Nonetheless, their romantic partnership came to an end permanently in February 2020.

As a die-hard admirer, I must say that our encounter was quite promising, as I shared on the #NoFilter podcast. However, it seems we find ourselves at distinct junctures in life’s journey. To put it bluntly, she appeared to have blocked my number-a fact I can’t help but acknowledge.

Kyra continued to appear on various shows, such as “Match Me If You Can” in 2021, “The Challenge: USA” in 2022 (which Cashel also participated in), and “Love Island Games” in 2023. However, she found her match away from the camera with dental student and former basketball player Tal Sahar in 2024.

In May 2025, records show that Cashel was imprisoned in Utah due to accusations of domestic violence and assault. Just a month later, fresh charges of assault and domestic violence were brought against him.

As reported by NBC News, Cashel has refuted the accusations. His lawyer, Andrew K. Deesing, shared with the media that “My client and his family are going through a tremendously challenging period, and we kindly ask for their privacy to be maintained as we meticulously work towards clearing his name and preserving his reputation. At this point in time, we’re just beginning our investigation and don’t have any additional comments to make.

In contrast to many doubting their longevity, the first-season American couple, Weston and Emily, actually gave dating outside the villa a try for a while, but eventually chose to part ways.

She verified in a YouTube video from May 2020 that Weston and she are no longer a couple. Currently, she is single. Essentially, they experienced an up-and-down relationship filled with challenges, particularly due to the distance since she was in college. The long separation was especially tough for them.

In the 10th season of Love Island UK, the winning couple left the villa triumphantly. However, they decided to part ways only two months afterward, in October 2023.

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

He mentioned that they previously discussed something privately, but since Jess is still out of town, they haven’t had a face-to-face chat yet. On Instagram, he explained further that he hopes to salvage their relationship and believed communicating in person would be the most considerate approach.

Sammy commented, “Although things didn’t turn out as expected today, I truly believe Jess is a remarkable woman, and I sincerely hope she flourishes.

By mid-2025, Sammy graced the screen on “Love Island: All Stars,” where he developed a connection with Elma Pazar. However, whispers of a separation between the two began circulating as early as June 2025.

In the inaugural winter edition of Love Island, the winning pair quickly formed a relationship, managing to stay united amidst all the challenges the villa threw their way.

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

Paige mentioned during an appearance on ‘Love Island: After Sun’ in June 2023 that despite their close friendship, they had grown apart over time. However, by August 2024, Finley was seen in a new relationship on Instagram. Although he initially didn’t reveal his partner’s identity, it was confirmed in June 2025 by ‘The Sun’ that he is dating Jess Hale.

In the 2020 season of “Love Island during Winter,” contestants Siannise and Luke finished as runners-up. After leaving the villa, they dated for approximately a year until their separation occurred in November 2021.

Instead, it’s worth mentioning that he quickly moved on and got engaged to Chelsea Menna not long after that, in the year 2022 itself.

As a lifestyle guide, I’d rephrase that situation like this: During my time at Casa Amor in the U.K., I found myself making a decision that sparked quite a bit of controversy. Many viewers were fond of Shaughna Phillips and were disappointed when I chose Molly over her. This choice led to an outpouring of public sentiment, ultimately resulting in our exit from the villa due to voting. It’s safe to say that my actions stirred up some strong feelings among fans!

For three years following their time on the island, they remained a duo, but by 2023, they had chosen to part ways individually.

The next year, they both appeared on “Love Island: All Stars.” Molly paired up with Tom Clare and they emerged victorious. Simultaneously, Callum developed a relationship with Jess Gale and finished as the runners-up. However, Callum and Jess parted ways in 2024 (with him now dating Yasmin Deplidge), whereas Molly and Tom continue to be together.

Initially, Nas was widely liked at the start of season six. However, his decision to leave Demi Jones for Eva following Casa Amor led to a decline in his fan support.

Although Nas and Eva were eliminated from the program, they chose to stay together, eventually making their relationship public in July 2020.

Despite speculations of an engagement in August 2023, following reports of Eva wearing a ring on that finger, Nas clarified in March 2024 that they had actually separated.

Sadly, Eva and I have chosen to part ways. There’s no animosity involved – it was an agreement we both reached amicably with no wrongdoing on either side.

Over the past few months, we made efforts to resolve our issues, but have come to a conclusion that it’s in our best interests. We’re both 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.

An unexpected pairing from the winter season finished in third place, but they parted ways a few months later following their departure from the villa.

Demi shared with MailOnline in June 2020 that the relationship is over now. It seems to be primarily his decision rather than hers, but they remain amicable. Demi explained that due to lockdown restrictions and their distance from each other, lack of communication drove them apart, causing a gradual drift.

Luke has formed a relationship with Lucie Donlan, who appeared on season five, as confirmed in July 2020. They became engaged the following year.

In relation to Demi, she made an appearance on the show “Love Island: All Stars” in the year 2024. During her time there, she crossed paths with Luis Morrison. Unfortunately, their relationship didn’t last beyond that year as they parted ways.

In the sixth season, a relatively quiet couple finished in fourth position. They dated for multiple months after that, but ended their relationship in June 2020.

In simpler terms, “Jess let her Instagram followers know that she and Ched have parted ways, but they remain friends and she wishes him only the best,” she shared. “We appreciate your kindness towards us during our time in the villa.

Ah, the irony! It’s truly disheartening when the victorious duo from a reality show is among the first to part ways post-finale, isn’t it? I found myself rooting for Greg and his partner, who seemed like the perfect match after joining the villa only weeks before the season five finale. Their victory was a testament to their connection, but alas, their relationship didn’t last much longer, ending just weeks after the show wrapped up.

As an ardent admirer, I can’t help but reflect on the intriguing turn of events surrounding my beloved couple, who found themselves in a bit of a pickle after some public debate about the circumstances that led to their parting. It seems Greg, a rugged Irish rugby player, decided to end things via text message. Fast forward to Amber’s appearance on Loose Women, she candidly admitted, “The demands of our careers and the distance between us had always been a challenge. We were aware of it from the start, so I can’t quite put my finger on what changed. I honestly wanted us to make it work, but as they say, that’s life.

Regarding Greg, he spoke up for himself on RTE’s The Late Late Show by stating, “She resides in the UK; she’s sought after by every brand and invited to every event. Naturally, she deserves all that success. So, I chose to return to Ireland and pursue my own path 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 established themselves as the strongest pair in season five…making it all the more shocking when they ended up finishing as runners-up.

In July 2024, they became engaged, marking exactly half a year since the arrival of their daughter named Bambi. However, Molly-Mae unexpectedly announced their separation in August 2024.

With a heavy heart, I’m sharing that Tommy and I have parted ways. Regardless of our personal situation, I remain deeply appreciative, for the sake of what matters most to me: my precious daughter. She is the fruit of our love, and she will forever hold the top spot in my priorities.

In the May 2025 episode of her Amazon Prime show “Molly-Mae: Behind It All,” Molly-Mae disclosed that she and Tommy decided to rekindle their romance.

As a devoted fan, I can say that the love story between the pair who ended up in fourth place during Love Island’s fifth season was undeniably one of the most divisive. After navigating through a series of dramatic moments, they managed to silence their critics by transforming their relationship from the villa into reality in 2019.

Maura shared during UK’s “This Morning” that for them, trusting each other is key, being skeptical about what’s in the media, and most importantly, keeping a humble perspective to avoid letting fame affect them too much, as they believe staying down-to-earth is crucial.

However, the pair broke up in March 2020. 

Maura stated in an Instagram post that she and Curtis have chosen to go their separate ways after sharing a wonderful time together on ‘Love Island’. She expressed gratitude towards everyone who supported their relationship during their stay. Despite this separation, Curtis continued his ‘Love Island’ journey by participating in ‘Love Island: Games’ in 2023. Later, he joined ‘Love Island: All Stars’, where he and Ekin-Su finished third. However, they parted ways a few months following the competition.

As an ardent admirer, I felt compelled to spread the news that Curtis and I have chosen different paths moving forward, as shared in a heartfelt Instagram post on May 2025, according to People. This decision was incredibly challenging, but it’s been made with nothing but love and respect for each other.

In a heartwarming message on my Instagram Stories, I emphasized that Curtis is an extraordinary individual, and the memories we created, both within and beyond the villa, will forever hold a special place in my heart.

Approximately a year following their victory in Love Island season eight in 2022, Davide revealed that he and Ekin-Su had ended their relationship.

As of June 2023, Ekinsuofficial and I are no longer a couple. I appreciate the experiences and moments we had together, and I wish her only the best. During this challenging period, I kindly ask for everyone’s respect for our privacy. Rest assured, I will continue to support Ekin in any way that I can.

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

In January 2024, as captured by Cosmopolitan UK, Ekin-Su penned on Instagram that the previous 18 months had been an emotional ride akin to any relationship, filled with highs and lows. Despite our strong feelings for each other, Davide and I have mutually decided to part ways. Ending a relationship is never simple. It’s challenging for every couple, so we ask for understanding and privacy during this difficult time. The moments we shared together will always be cherished.

In the summer of 2024, Davide found himself falling in love with Iris Au. Simultaneously, Ekin-Su embarked on a brief relationship with Curtis after their stint on Love Island: All Stars concluded in early 2025. However, their romance did not last long as they parted ways several months later.

Although Ovie and India were among the last couples from the villa to form a relationship (with Ovie entering during the controversial Casa Amor segments and India joining afterwards), they managed to reach the final round of season five in 2019, ultimately placing third.

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

She shared with MailOnline that it’s indeed challenging, as any separation is hard, but it becomes even more so when it happens under public scrutiny. Nevertheless, she assured that she will manage and is fortunate to have a tight-knit circle of female friends who are providing excellent care and support during this 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 became a pair. However, following his elimination from the villa, Lucie swiftly began dating several other men and even confessed to harboring strong feelings for a taken Tommy. Consequently, it came as quite a shock to fans when they announced they were in a relationship after their season had ended.

Similarly to how their first romantic connection faded, so did the surfer and the sandwich maker’s second try, leading them to part ways by early December 2019.

Just as their initial love story didn’t last, the surfer and the sandwich maker found themselves splitting up once more around early December 2019.

Both options aim to preserve the meaning of the original sentence while making it sound more natural and easier to read.

Meanwhile, though Lucie is currently betrothed to Luke from season six, it appears that Joe has taken a liking to being unattached in 2024.

During the second season of series five, Anton and Belle became the pair who parted ways shortly after leaving the villa. However, despite this, they managed to maintain their friendship. Nevertheless, Anton made it clear that there were no prospects for a romantic reconciliation in their future.

The creator of the fitness app stated to Mail Online, “No, absolutely not. It’s not a romantic relationship at all.” He further explained, “Right now, we have a friendly bond, which would be akin to dating a sister. It’s no longer the same kind of relationship as that.

In the year 2024, Anton graced the screen on “Love Island: All Stars”. Here, he finished in fifth place alongside Georgia Harrison. But their relationship didn’t last long after that.
