Season 8 couples still together
Trinity and Bryce
The couple lovingly known as "Brinity" were coupled up from Day 1, but they started out just as friends. Concerns about their age gap and compatibility initially held them back, but they steadily built a romantic connection until their chemistry was unavoidable. After becoming boyfriend and girlfriend in the Villa, Bryce and Trinity have barely spent a day apart and are still going strong after winning the season. Trinity is moving to L.A. permanently to take advantage of new career opportunities, which means she'll be in the same city as Bryce.
"Things with me and Bryce are going amazing," she told Peacock Blog. "I went home once, and I was only home for two days. That says a lot. Honestly, it's going to be so amazing to go to his [DJ] show, and it's sold out. Like, hello! I'm excited to be there. I don't know anything about house music, but I do like his house music, so I know I'm gonna have a good time, and I'm excited. Y'all are gonna see me at a lot of shows."
Aniya and Carl
After meeting during Casa Amor, Season 8's second place couple quickly formed a connection over their shared passion for volleyball and closeness to their families. (And their first kiss in "Say Less" made the attraction clear.) However, the post-Casa recoupling saw Carl sent home when Aniya decided to stay loyal to KC, who did not do the same and recoupled with Bombshell, Titi.
Lucky for Aniya, America voted Carl back into the Villa, and they were able to resume their connection. In the real world, while Carniya have yet to put a label on their relationship, they revealed during the reunion that they are very happy and are exclusively dating, taking time to get to know one another away from the cameras. In August, Aniya even enjoyed a vacation at Carl's family home in Nantucket.
"We're taking it slow," she told Peacock Blog. "We feel like we both need to calm down from the chaos, but we talk to each other every single day. Our families are really close with one another... It's so funny. We're all really close."
Melanie and Sincere
Though they were coupled up on Day 1, Melanie and Sincere had one of the most turbulent relationships of the summer. He frequently "explored" outside of their couple and wasn't fully honest when communicating with Melanie. His lies eventually caught up with him during Movie Night and Family Day, but he vowed to make things right. Despite warnings from her mother and sister, Melanie decided to follow her heart and continue to their relationship outside of the Villa.
Back at home, Sincere told Peacock Blog that they're now in "a really good space." At the reunion, the couple revealed that though they have no official title, they are currently dating and working on trust, slowly getting to know one another in the real world.
Kayda and Zach
Kayda and Zach immediately zeroed in on each other when she entered as a Bombshell during the Season 8 premiere. They had their ups and downs throughout the summer, but ended the show together and in fourth place.
In the real world, they were in a brief long distance relationship when Zach returned home to the UK. By the time they were reunited at the reunion (filmed August 9 and 10), they still weren't ready to put a label on their romance after not spending much face time together in real life. However, days later as Zach got settled into the states, Kayda confirmed to fans via TikTok that they were officially boyfriend and girlfriend. They even moved in together to a home in L.A. with his brother Charlie, who starred in Season 7.
Kenzie and Dylan
Kenzie did not shy away from opening her heart and exploring connections with various Bombshells throughout the summer. However, it was Casa boy Dylan who eventually stole her heart. The pair were dumped from the Villa together right before the finale and became boyfriend and girlfriend days later while back in the real world. At the reunion, they even revealed they've exchanged "I love you's."
Titi and KC
Titi and KC's Casa Amor return to the main Villa may have led to the most tense recoupling of the season, but that didn't stop them from growing closer. KC asked Titi to be his girlfriend while on the show, meaning they were in an official relationship when they were dumped. As of the reunion, the two are still going strong.
Season 7 couples still together
Iris and TJ
Bombshells Iris and TJ were exploring their chemistry right as Casa Amor hit. Once it was time to reunite, they chose to recouple with one another instead of with a new Bombshell. Their time together was short and sweet, as TJ was sent home during a surprise shock mass Dumping. Iris would go on to couple up with Pepe and they won fourth place, but they broke up soon after the season's reunion.
Iris and TJ found their way back to each other in the real world, and we saw the moment he asked her to be his girlfriend on Love Island: Beyond the Villa Season 2.
Season 6 couples still together
Serena and Kordell
It was the many twists and impassioned turns of Serena and Kordell's love story that attracted millions of fans to Season 6, making the series a breakout hit for Peacock in summer 2024.

Despite both being from the Houston suburbs, the pair never met until they were OGs in the Love Island Villa. They coupled up on Day 1, but Serena friend zoned Kordell. However, their romantic connection proved hard to deny. A Casa Amor betrayal nearly stalled their momentum and a viral fight on the Villa docks looked like the end. However, the pair made up and won America's hearts and the season. They're still together to this day and even appeared on spinoff Love Island: Beyond the Villa together.
Leah and Miguel
OG Leah and Bombshell Miguel both explored other connections in the Villa before deciding to couple up on Day 15. Just two days later, Casa Amor hit Fiji and Miguel ended up recoupling, leaving Leah single. However, their chemistry was impossible to ignore and they ended up back together. Leah and Miguel won second place on Season 6 and have been inseparable ever since, also co-starring on the debut season of Love Island: Beyond the Villa.
Season 5 couples still together
Marco and Hannah
Marco and Hannah have been going strong ever since they first met in the Villa when Hannah entered as a Bombshell on Day 2. The couple won Season 5 and immediately moved in together after leaving Fiji. Nearly two years later in May 2025, they became the first USA Islanders to become engaged when Marco proposed in the Dominican Republic.
"To my forever, Last night, I asked the love of my life to be mine forever and she said yes," Marco wrote in an Instagram caption, announcing the news. "From the very first moment we met, we were inseparable. Through every high, every challenge, every laugh and every tear we’ve done it all side by side."
They've shared with their followers that they are getting married on December 12, 2026.
Bergie and Taylor
Sweet but adorably awkward, OG Islander Bergie was unlucky in love for a majority of his time in the Villa — until Taylor entered as a Casa Amor Bombshell on Day 17. The two instantly hit it off, went on to win third place, and continued exploring their connection in real life (even surviving Bergie's stint in the The Traitors castle) and are currently engaged!
