29 July 2024, 15:10
Remember Kem Cetinay and Amber Davies the winners of Love Island 2017? How about Dani Dyer and Jack Fincham in 2018? Here are all the winners of Love Island from previous years and what they’re doing now.
Love Island has been on our screens since 2015 and has seen a plethora of winners over the years, many of whom are no longer together. As well as the winners, some contestants were made household names after taking part on the show – we're looking at you Molly-Mae Hague and Maura Higgins, who may not have won but launched huge careers off the back of the series.
These days, the series is on twice a year, with the most recent winter series becoming All Stars instead, which saw Tom Clare and Molly Smith win in the new format set to return in 2025. But what about all the other Love Island winners?
From the first 2015 series that featured Max Moreley and Jessica Hayes, to 2017 when Kem Cetinay and Amber Davies won - there have been some past winners who we just love to catch up with.

So where are the Love Island winners now? And are any of them still together? Let's take a look.
Love Island winners 2015: Jessica Hayes and Max Morley
They were the first winners of the new series and fans had high hopes for them both but sadly, just six weeks later, they revealed they split.
Jess is now super smitten with her new fiancé Zeb, a businessman she met just over a year ago and is the proud mummy to her adorable son Presley who she had with ex-boyfriend Dan Lawry.
Max is also still living his best life travelling to exotic locations all over the world and also shared in 2022 that he had become the smitten dad of a baby boy called Brooklyn.
Love Island winners 2016: Cara De la Hoyde and Nathan Massey
Good news, they’re still together! Cara and Nathan briefly split nine months after winning the series but during their break, Cara found out she was pregnant with the couple’s son, Freddie, born in 2018.
The baby brought them closer together and now they’re married with a second child, daughter Delilah who was born in 2021.
Love Island winners 2017: Kem Cetinay and Amber Davies
Everyone wanted these two to go the distance but sadly, after six months together outside of the villa, Kem and Amber announced their break up.
They have both been highly successful since their time together. Kem is a regular presenter on ITV and has bagged multiple clothing deals. He also opened up his own turkish restaurant in Essex.
Amber has been living her dream on stage in musicals 9 to 5 and Back to the Future.
Love Island winners 2017: Jack Fincham and Dani Dyer
They were the villa winners from the beginning as their cheeky romance had everyone predicting big things for them.
After winning in 2017, they quickly moved in together and even bought a puppy. However, after six months, and many split rumours, Dani and Jack ended things for good.
Since then, Jack has become a proud dad but has kept much of his personal life out of the spotlight. Career wise, he has taken a step back into the boxing ring and is now competing professionally. He also performed in pantomime for Christmas 2022.
Dani has landed a few big sponsorship deals, presenting gigs and is also the proud mum to son, Santiago, who she shares with ex-boyfriend Sammy Kimmence. She's now engaged to footballer Jarrod Bowen and they have twin daughters together named Summer and Star.
Love Island winners 2019: Amber Gill and Greg O'Shea
After surprising everyone by winning Love Island 2019 after only a few weeks of getting to know one another, it seems a fairytale ending wasn't meant to be for these two as they broke up just weeks after the final.
But life is still good for both Amber and Greg. Amber is now a huge Instagram influencer with nearly three million followers and is constantly enjoying all the beauty hot spots of the world. And most impressively, she's now an author after publishing her first romance novel in 2022.
Greg has also landed some good gigs post Love Island as he's returned to his rugby career and also achieved a regular presenting gig on The Six O'Clock show.
Love Island winners 2020: Paige Turley and Finn Tapp
Paige and Finn were meant to be from the moment they met on Love Island's winter series in South Africa in 2020, winning the show and of course splitting the £50,000 prize money, going on to move in together not long after they left the show.
However, they broke up three years later, leaving fans shocked. Earlier this year, they both starred on Ex on the Beach, where fans were hoping they'd reunite, but it wasn't meant to be and on the night of the show's launch, Finn reportedly slept with EOTB co-star Tamara Joy.
Paige has continued to follow her singing career while Finn is busy living the influencer dream.
Love Island winners 2021: Millie Court and Liam Reardon
It was a complicated road to romance for these two after THAT Casa Amor drama but they pulled together and come out stronger than ever.
Splitting the winner's cash, these two wasted no time moving in together, however, they split in September 2022. The exact reason why was never revealed, but one year later the couple got back together and now appear stronger than ever.
Now, Millie has been pursuing her dreams as a fashion influencer and Liam is also busy showing off his jet-setting lifestyle.
Love Island winners 2022: Ekin-Su and Davide Sanclimenti
Ekin-Su and Davide were the surprise winners of Love Island 2022, beating off competition from Natasha Ghouri and Andrew Le Page.
The couple are no longer together after an on-off relationship finally came to an end at the start of 2024. Ekin-Su was first to post her break-up story that read: "The last 18-months have been a rollercoaster of ups and downs, just like every relationship. Davide and I both wanted to make this work as we cared deeply for each other.
"Unfortunately I have recently made the decision to end our relationship and to go our separate ways. Breakups are never easy. For any couple. And we hope that our privacy will be respected. I enjoyed our time together and the memories we made.”
But by Davide’s reaction, it seemed like Ekin-Su had gone a little rogue when it came to announcing the news.Soon after her post, Davide uploaded his own story clarifying it was a mutual decision, not one that Ekin-Su had made herself.
While together, the couple had their own TV show together, multiple brand deals and now Ekin even performed on Dancing On Ice 2023.
Love Island winners, winter 2023: Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan
Kai and Sanam won Love Island’s winter series, season nine, in South Africa in 2023, and one year later these adorable cuties got engaged!
The couple share snippets of their relationship regularly on social media, often travelling the world together and working in collaboration with other brands.
Love Island winners, summer 2023: Sammy Root and Jess Harding
Sammy and Jess won Love Island season 10 last year, but they split just a few months after winning the show.
These days, Jess documents her life on Instagram for her 750k followers, often hanging out with the other Islanders she met on her series, like Whitney Adebayo.
It’s been reported she’s moved on with a new boyfriend too.
Meanwhile, Sammy has launched his own events planning business, a music event he hopes will one day reach Ibiza after starting out in Essex.
Love Island All Stars winners 2024: Tom Clare and Molly Smith
Tom and Molly wasted no time in becoming All Stars' viewers favourite couple while in the Love Island villa in South Africa, despite many fans rooting for Molly to reunite with her ex Callum Jones who was also in the villa.
The winners are still together at the time of writing and often document their holidays together. Molly's been making her passion for health and wellness part of her career, sharing workout videos and working with fitness brands. Meanwhile, Tom has continued to work with Love Island sponsor eBay and has returned to playing football for Macclesfield.
