Love Island winner Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu is living the “dream” as she spends time in New York following her signing of a major deal with fashion brand Oh Polly.
The 28-year-old has been enjoying a working holiday as she takes in the sights of the Big Apple and promotes her new role with photoshoots and fashion shows. Earlier this month, the Love Island queen announced she had become the new face of the fashion brand in a deal reportedly worth £1m.
On Tuesday, Ekin-Su shared a cute video on Instagram with her boyfriend and fellow Love Island winner Davide Sanclimenti, 27, seen basking in front of a giant billboard in Times Square featuring the Turkish bombshell. Her caption to the post said: “Since I was a little girl I would always dream about New York and how much I wanted to be on Times Square.

“I truly believe in faith and being a good person in life. Having dreams and working hard. Never giving up. Whatever happened in life I never gave up.
“Never complained even when things weren’t going well... I’m extremely grateful for everyone around me. All the love, all the beautiful support and of course the @ohpolly team.”
Fans and celebrities were quick to congratulate the reality star, most notably her “biggest supporter” and boyfriend, Davide. He said: “My baby I’m soo proud of you, you’re [a] beautiful person inside and out, and this is only the beginning, I’ll be always there to support you.”
Third-place islander Indiyah Polack said: “Well done Ekin!! Keep shining babes you’re smashing it!!”
Tasha Ghouri added: “This is just so amazing, so proud of you honestly smashing it.”
Ekin-Su has clearly been living the high life during her time stateside. Earlier this week, she shared a video where she could be seen enjoying a helicopter ride over the city, even holding her leg out of its open door as she flew high above the city.
The power couple are going from strength to strength, as Ekin-Su made her catwalk debut at New York Fashion Week on Tuesday while being supported by her adoring boyfriend. Davide also had cause to celebrate, as he too saw his face blown up on a Times Square billboard after he revealed he has signed a six-figure deal with online fashion brand boohooMAN.
Revealing the news on Instagram on Tuesday, he said: “So happy to announce I’m the newest member of the @boohooMANofficial family! What a surprise to see myself on a billboard in Times Square!
“I'm feeling so grateful. This is just the beginning! Watch this space.”
