Love Island 2022 update: Couples rocked by scandal, shock splits, engagement speculation and more

Love Island fans were glued to their screens over the summer months as they watched couples fall in and out again of love.

From secret kisses, under the covers shenanigans and some crawling on the terrace, this series was surely not short of drama as heads turned and contestants were pulled for chats here, there and everywhere.

But just which couples managed to go the distance and whose relationships failed to stand the test of time and the influence of the outside world?

Here's a look at this year's finalist couples and how they are getting on two months after leaving the villa.

Ekin-Su and Davide

Love Island winners Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Davide Sanclimenti have gone from strength to strength after signing two major fashion deals.

The fan-favourite couple won the hearts of viewers and will be bringing their brand new two-part series travel show to TV soon.

The show will see the loved-up pair head to Italy first and back to Davide's hometown of Frosinone before heading to Verona, known as the Italian city of love.

Following that, the pair will head through the Tuscan valley and then to Ekin-Su's native country, Tukey.

Starting in Istanbul, the Love Island star will introduce her partner to the acting colleagues she met while working in the city.

Ekin-Su will also join the Dancing On Ice 2023 line-up .

In the video, Ekin-Su confirmed her appearance for the first time.

She said: "I've got some amazing news to tell you. I will be doing this year's Dancing On Ice. I am so excited for the team. I can't wait to get myself on the ice and skate."

Gemma and Luca

Gemma Owen and Luca Bish were one of the strongest couples in the villa, having fallen for each other in the show's early stages.

However, the pair were one of the last couples to make things official, waiting until they were out of the villa to become boyfriend and girlfriend.

And it appears the couple plan on continuing to take things slow after Gemma admitted she "isn't ready" to take the next big step with Luca.

Speaking to the Mail Online , Gemma said: "We don't have any plans to move into together just yet. I'm a home girl. It's where everything is, I'm family orientated, and I'm still young. In the immediate future, I'm happy with where I am and the setup Luca and I have.

"We are everywhere right now. When I'm down in London working, we spend time with each other, and when we have a free weekend, he'll join me in Cheshire and be with the horses. We're making it work around our busy schedules."

Indiyah and Dami

Indiyah Polack, 23, and Dami Hope, 26, overcame their fair share of drama whilst in the villa after the pair both returned from Casa Amor with new love interests.

However, the pair have proven they are a match made in heaven after Indiyah travelled to Ireland to meet Dami's family.

The couple seems to be inseparable as the two have continuously supported each other as they embarked on new career adventures.

Dami told Sunday World a few weeks ago he plans to relocate to the UK and move in with Indiyah in the near future, adding that "there are good opportunities" in London.

He said they've been "so busy," with Indiyah having announced several partnerships, including becoming a brand ambassador for Boots UK.

She's also working with fashion brand PrettyLittleThing as the first-ever ambassador for its marketplace, which she described as a "dream come true" when she announced it.

Tasha and Andrew

Tasha and Andrew are another couple who faced their fair share of controversy in the villa.

However, as the show came to a close, the couple cemented themselves as one of the most loved up pairs of the season.

The model and real estate agent have since moved in together and have only been going from strength to strength.

Following the launch of her collaboration with fashion shoeware giants Simmi London, Tasha has addressed marriage rumours that have circulated around the love birds.

In an exclusive interview with Daily Star, the professional dancer said: "In terms of marriage, I said to Andrew that's up to him, isn't it? If he wants to put a ring on it, he can put a ring on it.

"But we're just so excited, and we really love each other, and it just feels so right. It doesn't scare us when we talk about it, so yeah, I guess we'll have to wait and see."

Paige and Adam

Paige Thorne seemed to have reformed former Love Island contestant Adam Collard from his womanising ways after he entered the villa for a second time this series.

But unfortunately, the loved up pair seem to have called time on their relationship just two months after leaving the villa.

Eagle-eyed fans began to speculate a split after they spotted that the Welsh paramedic has deleted or archived any images of herself and Adam together from her main grid on Instagram .

It was reported last month that a devastated Paige told Adam, who recently jetted off to Bali without her, how she needed some time away from him following snaps and footage of Adam with his arms around a blonde woman after a night out going viral online.

The two reality TV stars are said to currently be on a break after she was left "humiliated" by the footage.

"Paige and Adam are over for now. They were on a break but just knew things weren't going to work," a source has now told The Sun .

"Paige struggled with life outside the villa even though Adam tried to warn her what it was like.

"She has so much going for her and is just going to concentrate on exciting new projects and being a paramedic still.

"Adam is still determined to win her back, but it would take a lot to change Paige's mind."

However, the pair are yet to comment on their relationship status.
