If you ask us, one of the greatest Love Island love stories of all time is that of Cara de la Hoyde and Nathan Massey way back on series two of the ITV show. Yep, it really has been over seven years since they won the show and no, we haven’t aged a day.
It was basically a match made in heaven when feisty Kent fire eater Cara and cheeky Essex boy Nathan coupled up on the first day of series two and although their journey to the final wasn’t without its ups and downs, the pair made it all the way to the end and took home the £50k grand prize.
Fast forward to the present day and Cara and Nathan are still together, proving that true love really does exist. They make our ice cold hearts melt just a little bit.
