Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Davide Sanclimenti were crowned the winners of Love Island UK Season 8 by a 63% vote. The pair entered the Majorca villa as bombshells and soon coupled up. However, their relationship was not devoid of dramatic incidents, one of which involved Ekin-Su secretly crawling away to kiss a newcomer, Jay Younger.
After leaving the villa, the couple landed their own ITV spin-off reality show, Ekin-Su and Davide: Homecomings. In the show, the pair travelled to each other's home countries, Italy and Turkey. They introduced viewers and each other to their families, from parents to siblings to grandparents and friends.
A month after their two-part travel docuseries aired, Davide posted a now-deleted Instagram video of a romantic moment where he gave Ekin-Su a Cartier promise ring while Time To Say Goodbye by Andrea Bocelli played in the background.

In June 2023, Davide announced their first breakup on his Instagram Stories.
@ekinsuofficial and I are no longer together. I am grateful for the memories and opportunities we shared together, and I wish her nothing but the best.
The pair then reconciled, only to split again. In January 2024, Ekin-Su confirmed the final breakup, writing on her Instagram Stories;
The last 18 months have been a rollercoaster of ups and downs, just like every relationship. Davide and I both wanted to make this relationship work, as we cared deeply for each other. Unfortunately, I have recently made the decision to end our relationship and to go our separate ways.

Gemma Owen was originally coupled with Liam Llewellyn before recoupling with Luca at Casa Amor. While they remained quite consistent in the villa as they worked through challenges that involved Luca’s controlling behaviour during movie night, Gemma chatting with Billy Brown, and Gemma's father, Michael Owen.
Gemma Owen and Luca Bish finished the challenge in second place. However, three months after leaving the villa, Gemma announced their split, which came as a surprise to fans.
In August 2022, Luca set up a grand event asking Gemma to be his girlfriend. He shared a video of the setup that looked a lot like a marriage proposal, which included hundreds of red roses, a cello player, and red balloons in a pool, as well as a £6,500 Cartier bracelet.

They finished as runners-up in the finale. Three months after the finale, Gemma announced their breakup. The split came as a surprise to Luca, who took to his Instagram Stories to express his shock.
Switched my phone back on after taking some time out to clear my head after an emotional afternoon, to thousands of messages and news articles about my breakup.
He added,
I would have liked some time to process this privately, but as you all already know, sadly Gemma and I made the mutual decision earlier today to go our separate ways.
Tasha Ghouri and Andrew Le Page

After leaving the villa, Tasha Ghouri and Andrew Le Page moved in together, adopted a dog named Luna, and in February 2024 announced they had bought a home together.
However, in January 2025, it was reported that Tasha and Andrew had broken up. According to insiders, relations between the pair began to disintegrate when Tasha took part in Strictly Come Dancing. A source told The Sun;
Tasha was madly in love with Andrew, but the cracks started to show when she appeared on Strictly. She gave her all in that competition. Her focus was purely on her dances with Aljaz, and that drove a wedge between them as time went by.
Andrew confirmed the split on his Instagram Stories in February, posting a photo outside their shared home.
The split became notably messier when Tasha told Rylan Clark's BBC podcast How to Be in Love that laziness killed their relationship. She added that while Andrew appeared supportive on social media when Tasha competed on Strictly Come Dancing, emotionally, he was not.

For over three years, Indiyah Polack and Dami Hope were the last remaining couple from Love Island UK Season 8. Initially, Indiyah was paired with Ikenna Ekwonna and Dami with Amber Beckford. It was only after both Amber and Ikenna were dumped that Dami and Indiyah, who had been quietly gravitating towards each other.
Indiyah Polack and Dami Hope went on to finish in third place in the finale, and their relationship blossomed steadily in the three years that followed.
On their third anniversary in July 2025, the British social media personality wrote in a now-deleted Instagram post,
3 years with you!! Where is time going? But I guess it does go super fast when you're having the best time with your person. It feels like only yesterday we met; you've brought me so much love and laughter. There's no one else I'd rather do life with.

The pair made the tough decision to part ways ahead of the New Year celebrations, with an inside source telling the Daily Mail:
Indiyah and Dami have sadly decided to part ways after three years together. It's been a difficult time for them both. They built their lives together, and no one expected their relationship to end so suddenly.
Dami posted a 20-slide photo dump to mark the end of 2025, none of which featured Indiyah. He wrote;
A year full of memories, milestones, losses, and growth you can't always explain out loud. I've hit goals I once only dreamed about, yet I still catch myself asking, 'Why don't I feel content?' Not everything ends clean, but it ends clear.
The split was then complicated by cheating allegations after a video of Indiyah kissing Twitch streamer Marlon Garcia at a London restaurant surfaced. The video was believed to have been recorded in early December 2025, weeks before the breakup was reported.
