Love Island USA’s Leah Reveals She’s Had Wedding Dress for 7 Years

by

Love Island USA’s Leah Kateb and Miguel Harichi have wedding bells on the brain.

They weren’t attending their own wedding, but Leah and Miguel attended the Los Angeles premiere of Zendaya and Robert Pattinson’s new movie, The Drama, which centers around weddings. Leah has already thought about what she’d wear if she and Miguel ever decide to get married.

Leah revealed to Erin Lim Rhodes of TopMob News that she’s already chosen her dress for the event. “I’ve had it saved since 2019,” she said during an interview with Miguel at the March 17 screening.

Coming as no surprise to Miguel, she added, “It’s Mugler.”

Leah, 26, explained that she wasn’t looking for the same kind of dramatic reveal with her dress as Brittany Wicker did on season 10 of Love is Blind. Brittany surprised her potential match, Devonta Anderson, by already having her dress prepared before meeting him in the pods.

She clarified she wasn’t buying it to find a husband, but because she loved it. She then added that she hadn’t actually purchased it yet, but planned to, jokingly urging Mugler to contact her.

The couple, who met while competing on Love Island USA in 2024 and finished as runners-up, are planning a wedding that reflects their personal style. Leah envisions a stylish, outdoor celebration.

She told TopMob she envisioned a beautiful setting for the event, ideally a ranch with a natural, rustic, and pretty atmosphere.

As for Miguel, he’s all about celebrating with the people he loves the most.

Honestly, when it comes to my wedding, I’m keeping it simple. Forget the fuss – all I really want is to be surrounded by amazing people, great drinks, and a genuinely good vibe. That’s what truly matters to me!

Honestly, I’m just living for right now with them! They’re not worrying about some distant future – they’re building their life together, right now, and it’s everything. I can’t get enough of watching them create their present!

“We love our date nights,” she said. “We always switch up our date nights.”

For Miguel, it’s always a plus when they get to step out in something other than gym attire.

“It’s good to get out of the gym fits,” he said. “And dress up a little bit.”

Though they left the Love Island UK villa as a couple in 2018, the romance didn’t last long after they returned from Mallorca, and they eventually went their separate ways.

Ellie revealed in July 2025 that she and her boyfriend are engaged. They had been dating for about a year, but she hasn’t shared his name with the public yet.

I remember when Uma and Wil first connected – it was on Season 11 of Love Island UK! It was so frustrating to watch because Uma actually left the island with Wil after he got dumped. The tricky part was, she only ended up leaving after Reuben Collins chose her, which meant their time together was cut short and a bit complicated. I was really rooting for them, even with all the drama!

In July 2025, after a year of dating, Uma revealed she and Wil were getting married. She shared the news on Instagram with a picture of her engagement ring, playfully saying they’d 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 and effortless. “I just knew I wanted to be with Wil,” she said.

I was so surprised to hear her say she’s seeing someone new! She explained it took her a really long time to feel as comfortable with Wil as she did, and she only had two weeks left on the show. She just didn’t want to pretend to have feelings for someone just to stay, you know? She said she’d rather be honest about everything, and honestly, I admire her for that.

Rumors of a split between Amaya and Bryan began circulating when they unfollowed each other on Instagram just before the season seven reunion show aired in August 2025. Sadly, two days later, Amaya, who often refers to herself as a ‘sensitive gangster,’ confirmed that they had broken up.

She explained on Instagram that after leaving the villa, it was obvious she and her partner were heading in different directions. She felt their goals didn’t match, and a relationship should be a partnership, not something one person has to endure alone. She added that you don’t need to experience everything firsthand to understand something isn’t right.

Olandria and Nic were the only couple who were there from the very beginning and made it to the final round. Throughout the show, they kept viewers guessing as they explored other potential connections and weren’t always sure if they were just friends or something more.

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

The runners-up began to wonder if that had been true for them all along.

Nic added, “What was so special about us was that we missed the signs at first. We both started out focused on other people, but I always had feelings for you. Then we faced unexpected challenges and were even briefly removed from the show. When you came to see me off as I left, it felt like a sign – a moment where we realized there was a connection between us that we hadn’t noticed before.”

Now, everyone is wondering what the future holds 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 time together, including trips and have more dates in the works.

Although Iris and Pepe didn’t become a couple until late in the season, they believe waiting 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 went from having Pepe as a close friend to being excited to explore a relationship with him outside of the show. 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 celebrated Kordell’s birthday in May 2025 with a sweet Instagram post, writing, ‘Happy birthday to the man of my dreams!’ She shared that even after almost a year together, she’s still completely in love with him. She expressed how happy she is to watch him achieve his goals and how proud she is of the person he’s becoming, adding that she can’t wait to celebrate many more birthdays with him. Serena finished by thanking him for being such a wonderful boyfriend, partner, and friend, and for making her incredibly happy.

Season six of Love Island USA also saw success for runners-up Leah and Miguel, who are still together and thriving. As Miguel shared, things are constantly improving for the couple, and Leah wholeheartedly agrees.

Seriously, Miguel just radiates warmth, like a constant, cozy hug. I wrote it on Instagram for his birthday last March, but it’s so true! I’m endlessly thankful he walked into my life – he’s brought me so much love, peace, genuine happiness, and just… safety. Honestly, he makes everything fun, even the most boring stuff! I used to think guys like him didn’t exist anymore, like they were only in movies or something. He truly has the purest heart of anyone I’ve ever met, and he always wants the best for everyone. I seriously couldn’t have imagined a more perfect person, I swear!

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 shared how much he’s enjoyed being with her and watching her pursue her goals over the past few months.

He went on, saying her smile brightened every space she entered. Even when all eyes were on her, she always made people feel cherished and valued. He admired that her inner beauty matched her outer beauty, which is why he often found himself lost in thought while looking at her. He felt incredibly fortunate to have her in his life.

Added Jana for Kenny’s birthday in February 2025, “Youre not just my best friend, youre my safe place. I love doing life with you. Your love gives me the courage to be myself around you and for that, Im forever thankful.”

Both Josh and Sophie had tried to find their matches on Love Island before (he came in third place with Lauren Richardson in 2015; she checked into the villas five years later). But the stars seemed to align when they appeared on Love Island: All Stars in 2024, finishing third.

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

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

Josh celebrated his first anniversary in March 2025 with a sweet Instagram post. He jokingly wrote that he wasn’t sure how his partner had tolerated him for so long, and playfully warned them that there would be many more years just like it! He finished by saying he loved them.

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 new singles were introduced during the ‘Casa Amor’ portion of season seven.

Millie and Liam announced they were splitting up on social media in July 2022, but they got back together almost a year later. Now, they share updates about their lives – including their trips, fitness routines, and dates – both on social media and through their podcast.

 
 

The couple first connected on season two of Love Island USA 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 it was a mutual decision and they parted ways friendly because they wanted different things in life.

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 had found a new partner five years after the show aired.

The runners-up from the first season of Love Island USA broke up in late November 2019 after dating for several months. The lacrosse player announced the split on Instagram, saying, “Alex and I are no longer together. Sometimes things just don’t work out.”

Alex acknowledged that going through a breakup is difficult, sharing that their relationship felt like a perfect romance, but ultimately didn’t succeed.

Though they were popular with fans on Love Island USA, the couple attempted to maintain their relationship despite the distance, traveling to see each other during the holidays. However, Caro revealed in a July 2020 YouTube video that she had ended things. She explained that she felt a difference in commitment levels, saying, “I just didn’t feel like he was as invested in the relationship as I was, which is why I decided to end it.”

Oh my gosh, you guys, I was completely losing it when Caro announced she’d secretly gotten married to Rene Lacad back in October 2023! It was the best news ever! And then, just a couple of months later in December, she told us she was pregnant with a little girl! I seriously couldn’t wait, and finally, in April 2024, baby Amina arrived! She’s absolutely perfect, and I’m obsessed with the whole family!

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 pursuing a relationship with Cashel, after initially eliminating him. However, she discovered he had already been brought back onto the show. Sadly, the couple eventually 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 mentioned on the NoFilter podcast that things didn’t work out. He believes they’re at different stages in their lives now, and he suspects she’s blocked his number.

Kyra continued to be on reality TV, appearing on 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 found a relationship outside of the shows with Tal Sahar, a dental student and former basketball player, in 2024.

Court records show Cashel was arrested in Utah in May 2025 for domestic violence and assault. He then faced additional charges of assault and domestic violence the next month.

Cashel has denied the accusations, according to NBC News. His lawyer, Andrew K. Deesing, stated that Cashel and his family are going through a very challenging period 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 people – both on the show and across the country – doubted their relationship would last, Weston and Emily from the first season of the US version of the show did try dating in real life for a while before eventually splitting up.

She confirmed in a May 2020 YouTube video that she and Weston had broken up. ‘I’m single now,’ she said. She explained that their relationship had been difficult, especially because of the distance while she was in college, and described it as a ‘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 private discussion, but it remained unresolved because Jess was still traveling and they hadn’t been able to talk face-to-face. He clarified that he wanted to explore the possibility of saving their relationship and believed that was the most respectful approach.

Even though things didn’t go as planned today, Sammy said he thinks Jess is a wonderful person and truly hopes she finds happiness.

In early 2025, Sammy competed on Love Island: All Stars and began dating Elma Pazar. However, rumors of a breakup started circulating in June of that year.

The first-ever winter Love Island couple quickly formed a connection and managed to stay together, even with all the challenges the show threw their way.

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

Paige and Finley remain friends, though she explained in June 2023 on Love Island: After Sun that they grew apart. Later, in August 2024, Finley revealed he was dating someone new on Instagram. While he initially kept his new girlfriend’s identity a secret, The Sun reported in June 2025 that she is Jess Hale.

Siannise and Luke, who were finalists 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 disapproval in the U.K. after choosing Molly over Shaughna Phillips while at Casa Amor. Viewers ultimately voted both him and Molly off the show.

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

The next year, both Molly and Callum appeared on Love Island: All Stars. Molly paired up with Tom Clare and they won the season. Callum found romance with Jess Gale, and they finished as runners-up. Although Callum and Jess broke up later in 2024 and he is now dating Yasmin Deplidge, Molly and Tom are still together.

I was really rooting for Nas at the beginning of season six, but honestly, a lot of us fans felt let down when he ended things with Demi after Casa Amor. It was tough to watch him choose Eva instead, and he definitely lost a lot of support from that point on. It just didn’t feel right to many of us.

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—fueled by a ring she was seen wearing—Nas confirmed in March 2024 that they had broken up.

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

We spent the last few months trying to resolve our issues, but ultimately decided this was the best course of action 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 surprisingly popular couple from this winter’s show finished in third place, but they broke up a few months after the season 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 on good terms. She said the distance between them and the restrictions of lockdown made it difficult, 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 afterward, but they split up in June 2020.

Jess announced to her Instagram followers that she and Ched have broken up, but they remain good 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 connecting just weeks before the finale – especially surprising since Greg joined the villa later in the season. Sadly, they ended their relationship only a few weeks after winning.

Following a bit of public debate about the reasons for their breakup – reportedly initiated by Greg, a rugby player living in Ireland, through a text message – Amber discussed it on the show Loose Women. She explained that she believed their careers and the long distance were always potential problems. While they were aware of these challenges, she wasn’t sure what ultimately led to the split, but she had hoped they could overcome them. Ultimately, she accepted that the relationship had run its course.

Greg explained on RTE’s The Late Late Show that she lives in the UK and is in high demand, with many brands and events wanting to work with her. He added that he chose to return to Ireland and focus on his own career there.

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 surprised everyone by revealing a split the very next month, in August.

I’m heartbroken to share that Tommy and I have decided to end our relationship. I’ll always cherish the most important thing in my life – our wonderful daughter. She’s my top priority, and our focus will always be her well-being.

In a May 2025 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’s This Morning, saying it’s important to trust each other and not believe everything you see in the media. Her biggest piece of advice? Stay humble and grounded, no matter how famous you become.

However, the pair broke up in March 2020. 

Maura announced on Instagram that she and Curtis have decided to go their separate ways. She expressed gratitude for the support they received while coupled up on Love Island. Curtis continued to appear on spin-off shows, including Love Island: Games and Love Island: All Stars, where he finished third with Ekin-Su. However, 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, but they both felt a lot of love and respect for each other. She called Curtis an incredible person and said she would always treasure their memories together, both during and after their time on 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 to make things work and cared for each other deeply, they’ve ultimately decided to go their separate ways. She acknowledged that breakups are difficult for anyone and asked for privacy during this time, adding that she cherishes the memories they created together.

Both Davide and Ekin-Su found love again after their time on reality TV. In the summer of 2024, Davide started a relationship with Iris Au. Ekin-Su briefly dated Curtis after they finished third on Love Island: All Stars in early 2025, but they ended things 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 of season five in 2019, finishing in third place.

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

It’s definitely been tough, but breakups are never easy,” she shared with MailOnline. “It’s even harder when it happens publicly, but I’m doing okay. I’m so grateful for my amazing 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 connected right away at the start of season five. However, after Joe was eliminated from the show, Lucie didn’t wait long to explore other options, even developing strong feelings for someone 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 pursued her 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 show, but they stayed friends. However, Anton made it clear they wouldn’t get back together romantically.

Look, let’s be clear – it’s definitely not romantic. I told Mail Online that we’ve reached a point where we’re just really good friends. Honestly, it feels more like a sibling relationship now, and that just wouldn’t work! We’ve moved past anything romantic, and it’s a really comfortable, platonic connection.

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