As far as male Love Island bombshells go, Love Island 2022 hunk Jay Younger takes the cake – except he probably wouldn't take the cake, would he? Look at him. He would take the protein shake, steak, eggs... erm, what else is healthy?
Whatever, he's a delicious combo of ripped, Scottish and gentlemanly and we're still going weak at the knees for him three years later.
Surprisingly, Jay didn't have much luck in the villa despite crawling on the terrace with Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, but he's since found love in the real world and our hearts are only slightly broken.
We first met his stunning new girlfriend when Jay posted a roundup of 2024 on his Instagram grid.
Posting a series of photos with his new lady and pictures of him looking more ripped than Hercules himself, Jay captioned the snaps, 'Some 2024 highlights.'
And sorry but how GORGEOUS is she?
Fast forward to May 2025, and Jay is still with this absolute beauty and has since posted yet more snaps of them together and we're suddenly realising she is the absolute spit of a certain terrace-crawling Islander that Jay shared a brief romance with on the show - Ekin-Su bb.
Posting a holiday dump of their recent trip to Mexico, he shared more videos and snaps of his new-ish girlfriend and, seriously, the resemblance is uncanny. This bombshell certainly has a type.
Fair warning before you scroll through this recent dump, btw – these snaps are just about as 'perfect' as Instagram gets, so if you're having a bad day, perhaps do yourself a favour and just take our word for it...
Happiness, ridiculous genes, sunsets, expensive holidays, cute animals – this is not a safe zone.
Hilariously, we took another look at the 2024 photo dump that hard launched the relationship as we were writing this story and noticed that Ekin-Su has since given her approval in the comments, writing, 'Yes Jay! 🙌 She’s beautiful.'
Of course. LOL.
Jay starred on Love Island 2022 and entered the villa as a bombshell. He quickly swept Ekin-Su off her feet but, after she reunited with Davide Sanclimenti, Jay coupled up with Paige Thorne, Danica Taylor and then Chyna Mills.
Despite returning from Casa Amor with Chyna, Jay abruptly ended their coupling and shortly after they were dumped from the villa.
However, it was after leaving the villa that Jay spilled the tea on the show and producers' involvement.
'For me, I was told who to select for a date and who not to select for a date. In there [the villa] it’s not as organic as you think,' he said on The Big Jim Show podcast.
'When I was told who to select for a date… for example, I was told not to pick Paige. I was with a girl called Ekin in there, who actually went on to win the show…. But I wasn’t allowed to pick who I genuinely wanted to at the start, which was Paige.'
Ohh, tea.
