It's official! We have our first couple from Love Island series 13 to take the next step in their relationship, and it's none other than Lola Deal and Seán Fitzgerald (Fitzy).
Lola and Seán met on day one and had a smooth sailing experience, until Casa Amor girl Julia Majchrzak revealed she had a few flirty exchanges with Seán. After many heated exchanges, Lola and Seán voluntarily chose to leave the villa.
On the outside world, the pair spoke with Capital, and Seán revealed his checklist for asking Lola to be his girlfriend. He said: "It has to be in Ireland first of all. We've got to be on home soil. We can't just do something basic. It has to be something actually big and good because it's a big milestone."
It seems like Seán stayed true to his word, as he's made it official with Lola in Ireland and it was a definitely a grand proposal.
