Dom Lever and Jess Shears (2017): STILL TOGETHER
Jess was Love Island season three's 'bombshell' walk-in, and stole Dom from fellow Islander Montana Brown.Turns out, it was a smart decision because, these days, Jess and Dom are SO together, in fact, they got 'married' on Good Morning Britain on Valentine's Day 2017. They then got, y'know, properly married. And THEN, they welcomed a baby boy, aww.
Jamie Jewitt and Camilla Thurlow (2017): STILL TOGETHER

They faced an obstacle when Maura entered the villa and turned Tommy's head but he decided to stick with Molly-Mae and the rest is history...They surprisingly came runner up during the Love Island 2019 final but they're still very much happily in a relationship and they now live together in a PLUSH apartment in Manchester.
Paige Turley and Finn Tapp (2020): TOGETHER
Paige and Finn coupled up as soon as Finn entered the house as the one of the first boy bombshells and stayed thick as thieves throughout the whole series without even a hint of head turn.

Nas Masood and Eva Zapico: TOGETHER
The nation WASN'T pleased when Nas returned from Casa Amor with Eva, leaving Demi single, and the couple were the next to be booted. Despite spending lockdown apart, they met up (at a safe distance!) throughout the pandemic and have gone official with their relationship. From the looks of it, the pair have even moved in together.

Adam claimed he was '100 percent single' shortly after leaving the villa and, um, that was that. #Kadam; gone but never forgotten.

Gabby dumped Marcel after he was apparently caught cheating as they holidayed TOGETHER. Blimey.
Sam Gowland and Georgia Harrison (2017): SPLIT
Sam seems to be doing alright for himself on Geordie Shore, so we don't think he's too gutted.
Olivia Attwood and Chris Hughes (2017): SPLIT

Oh it was never gonna last, was it?
Kem Cetinay and Amber Davies (2017): SPLIT

Montana Brown and Alex Beattie (2017): SPLIT
These two split just weeks after returning to the UK. Sad times.
Sam Bird and Georgia Steel: SPLIT
You know how this one went. Sam accused Georgia of cheating on him with her ex, which she denied. It's safe to say they didn't split on the best of terms.

There's no bad blood betweenLaura and Paul, but they split just months after making it to the final of the show.
Jack Fincham and Dani Dyer: SPLIT
Dani released a statement via Instagram Stories (how very 2018) announcing thewinning 2018 couple had SPLIT, before they got back together just days later. Hmm. However fast forward to April 2019 and Jack announced they'd split. Dani's had a baby boy with partner Sammy Kimmence and Jack became a dad in 2020.
Amber Gill and Greg O'Shea: SPLIT
Amber and Greg were together for less than two weeks but managed to win over the nation and Love Island 2019. But before they could even make things official they split, with Greg reportedly dumping Amber by text.
Maura Higgins and Curtis Pritchard: SPLIT
Probably one of the most shocking Love Island recouplings was definitely Maura and Curtis. Against all odds the pair made it to the final and weeks after leaving the villa they became an official couple. They lasted eight months before splitting, with Maura linked to her Dancing on Ice co star and reports they'd been keeping up a 'showmance' for months.Maura HAD been dating fellow islander Chris Taylor, but earlier this month, the pair announced they'd called their relationship quits.
India Reynolds and Ovie Soko: SPLIT
Ovie and India have definitely been the most successful bombshells of all time. The basketball player entered the villa during Casa Amor and India joined the show just weeks before the final. Needless to say, we were obsessed with them but they've since called it quits.
Belle Hassan and Anton Danyluk: SPLIT
Belle and Anton just missed out on the Love Island final and didn't seem to be spending a whole lot of time together back in the UK. Sure enough they split after five weeks, with Belle reportedly freaked out by his Craig David obsession. There's since been speculation that they'll reunite but nothing came of it.
Harley Brash and Chris Taylor: SPLIT
Despite being latecomers to the Love Island villa, Harley and Chris won the public over - even after their drama following the Sidebar of Shame challenge. Two weeks after leaving the villa they called it quits and Chris then started dating Maura (spoiler: they've now broken up, too)
Jourdan Riane and Danny Williams: SPLIT
Jourdan and Danny left the villa shortly after the Casa Amor stint and after confirming they were in a relationship they moved in together. However in October, Jourdan ended their relationship following reports Danny was partying with random women.
Joanna Chimonides and Michael Griffiths: SPLIT
Michael left us - and the villa - shook when he decided to recouple with Joanna, leaving Amber single. Despite the awkwardness, Michael and Joanna seemed to kind of be working - until she was dumped from the island and then he said he still has feelings for Amber. He was then dumped from the villa and Joanna was then spotted 'kissing' Michael at a festival. Michael has since sparked rumours that he's recoupled with another Casa Amor star.
Lucie Donlan and Joe Garratt: SPLIT
Lucie and Joe had a rough time in the Love Island villa, especially after thesandwich maker was accused of "gaslighting" his other half. Post villa they revisited their relationship back in the UK but split in late 2019.Lucie is now dating Love Island 2020's Luke Mabbott.
Demi Jones and Luke Mabbot: SPLIT
Luke and Demi were the shock last minute couple who made it to the final after their respective rollercoaster rides in the villa.They lasted a valiant four months but spending lockdown apart meant they were the first to split in June. Luke is now dating Love Island 2019 star Lucie.
Ched Uzor and Jess Gale: SPLIT
Jess was left heartbroken when her twin, Eve, was the first to be dumped from the villa and struggled to form a connection with any of the lads - until Ched showed up during Casa Amor. They made it to fourth place but split due to being separated during lockdown.
Connor Durman and Sophie Piper: SPLIT
Connor and Sophie were an original couple but when Connor was dumped from the villa and Sophie didn't follow, the future became uncertain. They did hook up again after arriving back in the UK but never went official and last featured on each others' social media back in February.
Mike Boteng and Priscilla Anyabu: SPLIT
Despite surviving a worldwide coronavirus pandemic together, the pair called it a day in June 2021, just over a year after they met.
Lucinda Strafford and Aaron Francis : SPLIT
Lucinda left viewers shook when she moved on from Brad McClelland just two days after he sacrificed his place in the villa for her. Aaron and Lucinda were together for a couple of weeks before they found themselves dumped from the island following a public vote. Plot twist though, just 72 hours after landing back in Blighty, Lucinda announced that she and Aaron were just friends. She was then pictured holding hands with BRAD on a night out in Brighton, declaring that it 'was early days'. BLIMEY

WATCH Love Island’s Dani Dyer on getting her first wax OUCH | My First Times
It's been a long time coming for Dani (and the rest of us!) after she took to her Instagram stories back in August to review a fetal doppler – a handheld ultrasound device which is supposed to detect your unborn baby’s heartbeat – and said it only caused her more worry when she couldn’t hear anything at 15 weeks.
“Nothing against it, some people are really lucky and find a heartbeat in six weeks.
"I tried this at home - it made me ill. If you're a little bit of a worrier, like me, I just really don't recommend them because if you can't find the heartbeat, you're stressing about it. I know I was."

And during the summer she opened up about experiencing pregnancy for the first time and the changes she was seeing in her body.
“Apparently at this stage I’m supposed to feel ‘on top of the world’ which I really hope for as the first few months have been really hard," she said. "I’ve had loads of messages from people so thought I’d share my experience so far. And honestly your responses and little tips have been amazing I really feel like it is like a little community on here and I love it lol."
“There’s always a lot of pressure on how you should feel but we are all different. I actually want to shout out to the women that write on netmums because they have got me through the worrying.”
Congrats to Dani and Sammy ❤️
