But for Yasmine Pettet, 24, and Jamie Rhode, 26, things took a much more romantic turn.
Yesterday, an exciting text arrived for Jamie, which read: "Jamie, it's time for you and Yasmin to head out on your first date together.
"Please get ready to leave the villa #BalanceIsEverything #FloatWithFinesse"
The loved-up pair headed to the beach and discovered they were going paddleboarding in the sparkling Mediterranean sea.
Yasmin demonstrated her expertise and impeccable posture as she stood up straight on her board.
She said: 'I feel like I'm on Titanic. I'm so good at this, it's a joke.'
Jamie noted: 'I think the posture is coming in clutch," before they shared a sweet kiss.
Back on dry land, the pair chatted about their growing connection and spilled the tea on their family ties.
'Would you say you top the ranks?' Jamie asked her.
'Yeah… most iconic,' Yasmin replied.

With the date drawing to an end, Jamie told Yasmin: 'I thought you were going to be really fiery 24/7, but I've really enjoyed getting to know the calm side of you.
"It's not always a storm. I feel like there's a hard, diamond encrusted shell but it's cotton wool inside.'
However, in tonight's episode the pair didn't get much of a chance to tell the other Islanders how it all went.
Fans of the show were left fuming thinking it was unfair.
One wrote: "So the producers had the time for this useless chat between Boris and Emma but not Yas talking about her date."
Another added: "Yas and Jamie's date yesterday was a palette cleaner for tonight's drama."
"Hello?? Why didn't we get the date debrief?!" demanded another.
While another fan said: "So, we don't get to hear them talk about the date?? Just sit down, nod and leave."
"Damn they just skipped over the debrief for the date," said another disgruntled fan.

Love Island's Shakira in tears after heated row as new bombshell shakes up villa
Shakira only coupled up with Conor a few days ago, but already tensions are beginning to show - and could new bombshell Angel try and steal him away? Love Island is set for another night of drama in Friday's instalment of the show when a new bombshell enters the villa - and Shakira breaks down in tears after a bust up with new man Conor. The 22-year-old Manchester model paired up with Irish rugby player Conor, 25, in a shock recoupling a few days ago, picking him over Barnsley site manager Ty, 23. But at the end of Thursday's episode, Shakira was fuming when Harrison claimed she had deeper feelings for Harry - who she was previously coupled up with - during the Couple of Sorts game. Ending on a cliffhanger, tonight viewers will see Conor confront Shakira about it when he pulls her for a chat in the Den. But Shakira isn't happy Conor is listening to the boys instead of her. In a heated argument, she tells him: "It's been twisted and you've wanted to believe the boys straight away. It's ego and pride. Wake up Conor. They're literally the biggest game players here. When have I ever lied to you?" Upset that Conor doesn't believe her, Shakira breaks down in tears and goes to Toni and Yasmin for support. She sobs: "I don't want to be surrounded by them all the time. For Conor to straight off the cuff believe them… We've been friends for weeks…" READ MORE: Tommy Fury sends fans into meltdown with first loved-up snap with Molly-Mae since reunion And things could be about to get worse when new bombshell, Angel - who viewers got a tiny glimpse of in a teaser clip last night - enters the villa. The 26-year-old aesthetics practitioner and salon owner, who hails from Maidenhead, says she isn't looking to play games, as she's headed to Majorca to find 'The One.' In a preview clip, she says: "I'm ready to get into a relationship as I've been single for a year, so ready to make memories with someone, go travelling with them and fall in love." And she's already got her eye on Ty and Harry - who have both been previously linked with Shakira. Making a grand entrance in a blue star bikini and tassled leather chaps which show off her bum cheeks, Angel gets the boys hot under their collars as she introduces herself and gives the last answer to the 'Couple of Sorts' game - which saw the other Islanders choose which boys they think rank in her top three. As Ty, Cach and Boris take to the podiums to await the result, Angel will reveal if their predictions were right and share who her top choice is, potentially causing ructions in the villa. There's sure to be an other recoupling soon - and fans are convinced Angel's arrival means one of the Islanders will be sent packing. Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter at the end of the episode, one fan penned: "Is it gonna be whoever Angel chooses goes home," while another thought her arrival would mean an exit for one of the girls. "I will hate to see Shakira and Toni leave if she steals either Harrison or Connor though yikes!!!!!" said a second. "Can see a girl getting dumped. Producers literally making us rage!!" agreed a third. Though Harry wasn't one of the boys on the podium, she is later seen having a cosy chat with the 30-year-old semi-professional footballer and model, who is this year's oldest Love Island contestant. But when she tells him she likes being a little spoon but gets feelings for people she sleeps with, Harry says: "We might have to hold off on that spoon in the morning then."

Inside Love Island's 'dry runs' after two stars were discovered during secret process
It has emerged that two of Love Island's stars were discovered during the dry run, which is a pre-production stage that allows the crew to sort out logistics Love Island bosses have to hold a "dry run" before the series goes on camera - and one of this year's standout stars was found during that period. In television terms, a dry run is a rehearsal of a programme before the real one filmed, and producers of the ITV2 dating show have to have a separate cast to work with for the sake of logistics before cameras actually start rolling on set. Other shows known to undergo a dry run before the series goes into production, including Big Brother. The 12th series of Love Island is currently on air, and Lauren Wood has become a prominent Islander thanks to her love triangle with Harrison Luna. Insiders recently claimed that Lauren impressed bosses so much that they "guaranteed her a slot in Casa Amor", but she is not the only one. It has also been claimed that Ty Isherwood - who is currently coupled up with Lauren - was also part of the dry run, meaning that the pair of Islanders knew each other well before their love blossomed. Revealing that they even got close then, a source explained to The Sun: "Ty and Lauren are acting like they've only just met but that's far from the case. They hooked up during the dry run, which is where a fake cast moves into the villa to test out everything from camera angles, to kitchen appliances and run-through challenge. "And then they even saw each other on the outside before ITV invited them back to be part of Casa Amor. Now they're both in the main villa pretending like none of this ever happened but it's all entirely fake and ITV know about it. Viewers deserve to know it's all a huge sham." The programme, which initially aired in the late 2000s, has been on-screen in its revived format for a decade, and another famous face face from the villa was initially from the dry run. Sanam Harrinanan emerged victorious from the ninth series in 2023 alongside her now-fiancé Kai Fagain and she is thought to have been discovered in the dry run, which takes place two months before the actual competition, reports The Tab. Plenty of others have also found success through the pre-production stage, and series eight contestant Summer Botwe previously explained how they work. During a Q&A section on Instagram, she said: "In short form: they take 12 people who applied or were scouted for the show to do a test run of the show for 2 days, to check all the cameras work and everything is running smooth before they film with the actual chosen contestants." At the time, she noted that the stage also serves as a chance for hopefuls to show potential, adding: "However it's also like opportunity to show your personality and vibe to producers as 1/2 are usually chosen from the dry run to either be a bombshell or casa amor contestant in the real show" But Summer also revealed that she ended up being selected alongside Billy Brown, who was briefly involved with eventual finalist Tasha Ghouri, but insisted that neither of them knew at the time that either of them would be chosen for the show before they saw each other on set, adding: "A secret: both me and billy done the dry run and we were besties but neither of us knew we were chosen to do casa so we were stunned at the casa recoupling fire pit when we saw each other." Narrator Iain Stirling has previously exposed the details of the dry dry run before as he spoke out on the "crazy, mad" process of it all on the So Bad It's Good podcast, noting: "We've had dry runs of Love Island when we put people who aren't going into the show. We literally have a three-day practice where people go in and they're in Love Island but it's not on telly. It's sort of crazy, it's mad." And in revealing that the dry run can sometimes be more outrageous than the actual show, he said: "And if you think people going on the show get up to no good. Imagine what they do if they know it's not televised. Let's say it's not that dry in some cases."

She loves to travel.' has contacted representatives for Cruise and de Armas for comment but has yet to hear back. De Armas was last known to be dating Manuel Anido Cuesta, the stepson of Cuba 's president with the pair photographed kissing during a night out in Madrid, Spain, in November 2024. Meanwhile, Cruise was previously linked to Russian socialite Elsina Khayrova who is the ex-wife of oligarch Dimitry Tsvetkov and his Mission Impossible co-star Hayley Atwell. Cruise and de Armas first sparked romance rumors on Valentine's Day, when they were spotted for what was reportedly a professional dinner in London. The following month, they were pictured with cheeky smiles on both of their faces after their flight landed at the London Heliport. They have been friends ever since they co-starred in the 2019 movie Wasp Network.

In mid-May, an insider spoke about how Cruise is 'super smitten' with de Armas even though it is still early into their romance. Cruise and dr Armas are co-starring in Doug Liman's supernatural thriller Deeper. On GMA in May, the actress said: 'It's so much fun. We're definitely working on a lot of things. Not just one, but a few projects with [filmmakers] Doug Liman and Christopher McQuarrie and, of course, Tom. And I'm so excited.' Cruise shares a daughter Suri, 19, with ex-wife Katie Holmes. Katie and Tom began dating in April 2005 and after declarations of love they revealed they were expecting their first child in October the same year. They welcomed daughter Suri in April 2006. They married in November the same year at the 15th-century castle Castello Orsini-Odescalchi in Bracciano, in a Scientologist ceremony. David Miscavige, the head of Scientology, served as best man. In June 2012, Katie filed for divorce and on July 9, the couple signed a divorce settlement worked out by their lawyers. The acrimonious split saw Tom state that Katie divorced him in part to protect Suri from Scientology and that she is no longer a practicing member of the organisation. Late last year, it was reported that Suri, 19, is now able to access the substantial trust fund set up by her famous father. Holmes has since enjoyed romances with Jamie Foxx, chef Emilio Vitolo Jr and musician Bobby Wooten III. Cruise was wed to Nicole Kidman from 1990-2001 and they adopted two children together, Bella, 32 and Connor, 30. Kidman is now married to Keith Urban and the couple have two daughters.
