Love Island Couples Still Together: Where They Are Now
'Love Island' has become a total cultural phenomenon and game-changer for dating shows. Take a look at some of the franchise's most famous couples like Jamie Jewitt and Camilla Thurlow and more who stayed together!
For the last few years, Love Islandhas become a favorite of reality TV and binge-watchers around the world. The dating show, which features series in the United Kingdom, United States, and across the globe, kicked off with its first season in 2015 and slowly, but surely, earned a ton of fans and a major audience following. In July 2019, Love Island USA began on CBS, proving that the Love Island effect was alive and well.
But when it comes to some of the most famous contestants and their equally established romantic partners, some fans might need a refresher on how they met, if they stayed together, and where they are today. Of course, there have been plenty couple-casualties that weren’t meant to last and weren’t particularly each other’s type on paper. However, there have been some major success stories from the series that started it all! So, let’s take a look back at some of the most famous Love Island couples who stayed together after their time on the show!
