All the Love Island couples still together as Ekin-Su and Curtis split
Ekin-Su Cülcüloglu and Curtis Pritchard have officially gone their separate ways just three months after meeting on All Stars. Issuing a statement on social media on Wednesday, Ekin-Su explained that while it was a 'tough decision', it was 'one made with a lot of love and respect for one another'. She wrote: '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.

She added: '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.' As another Love Island couple call time on their relationship, here are all the ones that are still together. The influencer and professional boxer met in 2019 on the fifth season of Love Island UK, finishing in second place after Amber Gill and Limerick man Greg O'Shea. The reality show puts the ultimate question on participants — are they in it for love or money? Pic: Hannah Young/REX/Shutterstock Molly-Mae and Tommy welcomed their first child, Bambi, in January 2023, and Tommy later orchestrated a stunning proposal. It appeared the pair really were destined to be together. The couple confirmed that they had split in August last year, with Molly-Mae issuing a statement noting 'never in a million years did I think I'd ever have to write this' while a separate statement from Tommy confirmed he was 'heartbroken.' Tommy later admitted that he was struggling with alcohol use, which was a major factor in the couple's breakup. However, it appears the couple is now trying to make it work again. It wasn't a smooth beginning for Alex and Olivia, with Olivia having to go couple up with a few fellas before Alex entered the Love Island villa as a bombshell on the 18th day. Two days later, he coupled up with Olivia, and the rest is history. Alex and Olivia tied the knot at the Gosfield Hall, Essex, in 2018 — prompting an appearance from Olivia in the iconic wedding show, Say Yes to the Dress. The couple also starred in their own TLC programme, Olivia and Alex Said Yes. Pic: Brett Cove/SOPA Images/REX/Shutterstock The Bowens welcomed their first son, Abel, in 2022. Nathan and Cara just pipped The Bowens at the post and were the victors on the second season of Love Island. Nathan and Cara coupled up on the first day and were together for the duration of the show. The Love Island alum went through a rocky patch during Cara's pregnancy with their first child, Freddie-George and split up. Freddie-George was born in 2017 with Cara and Nathan later rekindling their romance.

Camilla and Jamie finished in second place on the third season of the UK Love Island and married in September 2021 — four years after the first couple to be coupled up in the villa. Just before their engagement, the couple welcomed their first child, Nell, in October 2020, followed by Nora Bella in May 2022. Pic: Instagram/ Camilla Thurlow Last Christmas, Camilla and Jamie announced they were set to become parents for a third time in an adorable clip where they shared: 'Our little family is growing.' Dom was initially coupled up with Montana Brown in the first days of season three of Love Island but later coupled up with Jess with the pair going strong until she was voted off by her fellow islanders. Dom stayed in the villa and exited 11 days later with the pair rekindling their relationship and tying the knot in Mykonos in 2018. Pic: James Shaw/REX/Shutterstock In 2019, the pair welcomed their first child, and their second child arrived in June 2022. Millie and Liam were both bombshells in the seventh season of Love Island and, despite Liam briefly straying in Casa Amor, were inseparable and went on to win the show. The pair split in July 2022, just over a year after winning the show, but went on to rekindle their romance in August 2023 and are stronger than ever now. Pic: Matt Frost/ITV/REX/Shutterstock Speaking to EVOKE previously, Liam explained they had broken up due to the pressures of being in the limelight. 'We had time apart,' he said, 'We grew individually and we are back together now, and I feel we are the best versions of each other.' Dami and Indiyah forged a friendship with then led to a romantic relationship. Both were initially coupled up with other islanders, but gave each other a chance as the season progressed. Despite a blip at Casa Amor, the pair worked through their problems and finished in third place. Pic: Brian McEvoy Outside of the villa, they appear cuter than ever and were quick to take the next step in their relationship — moving in together. While Casa Amor is designed to throw wrenches into the blossoming relationships that are already blossoming in the main villa, it can prove to be a hit for those who have yet to find a romantic interest with anyone and Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan are a testament that Casa Amor isn't all that bad. The pair went on to win the ninth season of Love Island, becoming the first couple formed in Casa Amor to win the UK spin-off. Pic: Jonathan Hordle/REX/Shutterstock In April 2024, Kai popped the question, sharing a series of photos and writing: 'Introducing the next Mrs Fagan.' While producers previously brought in a former UK islander as a bombshell in a new season, a former islander from a different show within the franchise was unheard of until Love Island Australia contestant Jessie Wynter entered as a bombshell to the UK version in Season 9. The Aussie lass coupled up with none other than Farmer Will, with the couple coming in fifth place and just missing out on the season finale. Pic: David Fisher/REX/Shutterstock Earlier this year, Jessie revealed she had been granted a three-year visa for the UK. She and Will immediately started house-hunting and regularly share snippets of their life together on social media. The winners of the inaugural Love Island: All Stars are still going strong. Molly was originally in the season six line-up and left the villa with her boyfriend at the time, Callum Jones, whom she coupled up with during Casa Amor. The couple announced their split last year. Pic: REX/Shutterstock Tom came in third place alongside Samie Elishi in the ninth series of Love Island. Despite making things official, the relationship ended just one month after the ninth series ended. While Callum also entered the All-Star villa, there was speculation and even hopes that things would rekindle with Molly. Ultimately, the model and influencer pursued a relationship with Tom, and the pair came in first place. Sophie was another islander from the sixth series, while Josh was a contestant in the very first season, where he came in third place with Lauren Richardson. Pic: REX/Shutterstock Sophie entered the All Stars villa as a bombshell and coupled up with Josh. The pair made it to the finale, where they finished in third place and are still going strong, with Josh orchestrating a sweet moment where he asked Sophie to be his girlfriend earlier this year.

Maya Jama demands ‘more drama and twists than ever' in new Love Island series trailer
MAYA Jama has promised that they'll be "more twists than ever" just weeks before the new Love Island series kicks off. Behind the scenes at 'Love Island HQ', TV presenter Maya is seen meeting with her team, in a fittingly Love Island-themed boardroom, brainstorming for a summer full of twists and turns. 3 Maya Jama has promised more 'twists than ever' to mark 10 years of the show Credit: ITV 3 The presenter has hinted that multiple bombshells will be entering the villa this year Credit: ITV Looking sensational as always, Maya said: "This year Love Island needs something bigger, something bolder, I want ideas." After her 'colleagues' shared their disastrous ideas to spice up the series, Maya stood up and demanded something extra to marks a decade of the show. The TV host insisted: "This year I want more drama, more bombshells, more break-ups, more makeups. "I want more twists, I want more twists than ever." It comes after fans were convinced that there's been a secret shake-up to the show, just weeks before the new series. Fans are patiently awaiting the arrival of the new summer series, but as of yet there have been no promos hinting at the start date. As a result, Love Island fans have speculated that there's been a big shake-up, and that the start date has actually been pushed back. They think the show might be starting on Monday, June 9th. The summer series normally starts a week after the Bank Holiday, which would make it Monday, June 2nd. Love Island host Maya Jama looks stunning in backless dress as she parties with pals But with the lack of Love Island promos, viewers convinced that it has been pushed back. While some fans have been left concerned that hilarious Love Island voiceover Iain Stirling was stepping down from his role. It came as a fake TikTok account posing as Iain claimed the Scots-born star has "quit" the show. With a broken heart emoji, it said Iain was walking away from the UK version of Love Island to focus on the US series instead. In a sombre black post with white writing, it read: "It's been a hectic few months for me and the Love Island team having to go back and forth on my decisions. "Unfortunately I have quit being a voiceover for Love Island UK, however I will still be carrying on for the USA version. "Making this decision wasn't easy and Love Island UK will always have a special spot in my heart, words cannot describe how much love I have for every one of you and I wish best for the next voiceover [sic]." Fans were sent into a spin over the fake message, despite 'Iain's' poor grammar and use of the word "voiceover", instead of "narrator". One Love Island viewer commented: "Noooo won't be the same!" Another added: "Pay the man what he wants, UK Love Island!" Fortunately, The Sun can exclusively reveal Iain, 37, married to fellow TV host Laura Whitmore, WILL be returning to Love Island UK with his witty commentary this summer. Insiders have told us that he is "fully expected" to be back. A TV source says: "There have been rife rumours that Iain is quitting Love Island, but they're just not true. "He's a huge part of the Love Island family and loved by fans. "Iain is fully expected to make a return to the summer series." Maya is getting set to return as the host of the upcoming series of Love Island, which follows hot on the heels of January's All Stars series. Love Island coming soon to ITV2 and ITVX.

JoJo Siwa receives rose bouquet from Chris Hughes amid intimate moment in London
JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes were photographed sharing affectionate moments during a reunion at London's Heathrow Airport on Sunday, 25 May. The 22-year-old performer was met with a bouquet of red and pink roses by Hughes, 32, sparking further speculation about their relationship. Photos captured by TMZ showed the pair embracing warmly. In one image, Hughes kissed Siwa's forehead, while in another, she leaned into his chest as he held her close.

'Things are going great,' she said in a video shared via E! News. The two met while competing on Celebrity Big Brother UK earlier this year. Throughout the series, their strong bond was evident through shared private notes, late-night conversations, and affectionate gestures. Hughes, known for Love Island UK, also publicly supported Siwa when she faced homophobic remarks on the show. Siwa later clarified her sexuality, saying she now identifies as queer. While Siwa has stated her recent breakup with Kath Ebbs was unrelated to Hughes, fans continue to watch the evolving relationship between the two.

JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes spark dating rumors with cozy Mexico photos
JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes have reignited dating rumors with intimate new photos shared on Instagram from their recent trip to Mexico. The two became close during their time on Celebrity Big Brother UK and have been fueling speculation ever since. Chris Hughes, a former Love Island UK contestant, posted a photo carousel on Tuesday, showing him and the pop star snuggling and smiling together. 'The previous 7 days have been the prettiest,' he wrote. JoJo Siwa replied in the comments, '& happiest :). Heart is overflowing.' Photos showed Siwa resting her head on Hughes' shoulder and the pair hugging on a couch, leading fans to suspect a 'hard launch' of a romantic relationship. One fan commented, 'If you guys come out and say you're still just friends after this, my heart is gonna break.' The buzz intensified after Siwa gave Hughes a shout-out during her Mexico City concert performance of 'Bette Davis Eyes' and was later seen cozying up to him on the set of Access Daily. Despite the photos and PDA, Siwa, 22, recently insisted the two share a 'genuine friendship.' She told Us Weekly that they have a 'special bond' and send each other dancing videos regularly. Their connection began on Celebrity Big Brother UK, where Siwa also made headlines by clarifying she now identifies as queer rather than lesbian. Shortly after, her ex Kath Ebbs confirmed their split, while Siwa and Hughes were spotted together at a UK country club. For now, fans remain divided on whether it's love or just a deep friendship.
