Who are Montoya and Anita?

Per the official La isla de las tentaciones page on Telecinco.es website (which has been loosely translated using Google Translate), Montoya (30) and Anita (26) have been a couple for one year.

The duo met on a reality show but didn't get together until the very end. They then started a long-distance relationship between Seville and Barcelona.

According to their profile, the couple are vastly different with Montoya being described as "more traditional".

They both agreed to enter Temptation Island to see if they can build a future together. The profile also states that they want to have a child together.

Did Montoya cheat on Anita first? Why did Anita cheat on Montoya?

The tension between Montoya and Anita began almost immediately. VIP single Manuel set his sights on Anita at the necklace ceremony, and Montoya was instantly insecure and jealous about their potential connection. VIP single Gabriella set her sights on Montoya.

On the show, each member of the couples are also given the opportunities to watch what their partner is doing in the other villa on live feeds.

Montoya first saw clips of Anita and Manuel getting closer. During the first "bonfire ceremony", a screaming Montoya got so upset over the footage that he ripped his shirt off.

A few days later, Anita then saw footage of Montoya and VIP single Gabriella getting close during a lap dance that was part of the show, with Gabriella twerking on him and him grinding on her.

That then prompted Anita to get angry and dive headfirst in to a physical connection with Manuel.

Montoya also saw footage of the two of them kissing in the jacuzzi, and then he saw the footage of them getting very intimate with each other in bed which prompted him to run along the beach to confront Anita in person, screaming: "You have destroyed me!"

What happened after Montoya confronted Anita?

After confronting Anita at the villa, Anita initially told Montoya that she was done with him and wanted nothing to do with him. They began shouting at each other, Montoya called her "fake", and other members of the villa even had to hold Anita back. Anita claimed that he was the one who messed up first.

She then broke the rules and went running after Montoya, claiming that she wanted to leave with him immediately.

Host Sandra Barneda forced the two apart, Montoya walked away and Anita was told that breaking the rules would have consequences.

Are Montoya and Gabriella together?

In the latest episodes, it appears as though Montoya has now got his 'revenge' on Anita – she's not happy about it!

Montoya has now had sex with VIP single Gabriella, and Anita has seen the footage. Well, she's heard about the footage... the consequences of breaking the rules meant that she wasn't actually allowed to watch it. Her fellow contestants had to describe the footage to her as she stood sobbing.

However, Anita herself hasn't put a stop to her physical connection with Manuel either and they appear to have now gone full steam ahead with their relationship. In fact, both of them have said that love each other "a little a bit".

Montoya was also not allowed to see the new footage either and had to have it described to him. His (loosely translated) response? "She has traded a Ferrari for a Twingo." Ouch!

Explaining why he's now letting himself get closer to Gabriella, Montoya told host Sandra that he "deserved to be happy".

Montoya has now responded to all drama surrounding the whole Anita and Manuel thing, and even reacted to the viral scenes on the series' debate show.

Speaking about Anita, he said: “I don’t believe it, what you can’t do is say that I’m the love of your life and get into bed with someone else.”

More episodes of La Isla de las Tentaciones are set to be released which will no doubt end up on Twitter/X at some point. Stay tuned - we'll update this article as soon as we find out what happens to Montoya and Anita next!
