The clip featured photos of their loved-up dates together, to holidays and trips around the world and romantic gestures.
The hunky Italian looked smitten with the mum-of-two.
Davide is seen presenting his partner with a huge bouquet of roses and another clip showed them kissing on the beach.
He captioned it: "ONE [love heart emoji] Happy Anniversary."
The TV star shot to fame in 2022 when he won with Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu.
The pair were known for their tumultuous relationship in and out of the villa, and they split the following year.
Davide then confirmed he was dating his new girlfriend Iris Au last year.
Los Angeles based Iris documents her life on social media.
The 35-year-old has two daughters Paris, 10, and Pia, 11.
Ekin-Su and Curtis Pritchard SPLIT three months after Love Island All Stars
In March, Davide dropped a HUGE hint that he had married Iris after he referred to Paris as his "stepdaughter".
It came after he posted a video which was titled "Pranking my stepdaughter', where he pretended to be auditioning to be her and her sister's manny (a male nanny)
LOVED UP
On Valentine's day, Davide confessed his love for Iris with a soppy Instagram post.
Davide gushed: "Happy Valentine's Day to the most romantic woman I've ever met. Since being with you, I learned what a 'monthsary' is.
It comes after Davide's ex Ekin-Su called time on her three-month releationship with Curtis Pritchard last week.
The Sun exclusively revealed how their shock break-up - after three weeks of dating following their time in the Love Island spin-off villa - "wasn't weeks in the making."
As such, the split is said to be "raw" for both parties who discovered they were "growing apart" - with work opportunities proving a key divide.
A source close to the former couple has now told The Sun of the break-up: 'It was very much a mutual decision, but it happened very recently in the last few days.
"It certainly wasn't weeks in the making, so it's still raw for them both but they had a series of crisis talks in the recent days which were emotional for them both.
"They wanted to make it work, but they felt they like they were growing apart and they couldn't see a way forward.
"One of the biggest issues for their relationship was their busy careers - it sounds like a cliche but Ekin, 30, is getting a lot of work opportunities out in America, while Curtis, 29, is focussing on his burgeoning boxing career as well as his new investment app.
"As they are both so busy, it was becoming harder to prioritise the relationship and they realised that wasn't a good sign.
"They are still on really good terms and it's all very amicable.
"Nobody was blindsided, so there is no bad blood between them."
EKIN-SU'S STATEMENT
In May, Ekin-Su shared a statement on social media confirming they had parted ways.
She said: "I wanted to share that Curtis and I have decided to go our separate ways.
"It's been a really tough decision, but one made with a lot of love and respect for one another.
"He's an incredible person and I'll always cherish the memories we made both in and out of the villa.
"Thank you all so much for the love and support over the past few months.
"We're both focusing on navigating this transition and would really appreciate privacy during this time.
"Love always, Ekin-Su."
