The sweet moment didn't go unnoticed among fans watching at home and now Kai has made an announcement of his own. Taking to social media for the first time, the PE and science teacher from Manchester thanked fans for their support as he too confessed his love for his co-star.
Sharing a string of snaps and videos from the couple's Love Island journey, he said: "Thank you so much to everyone that’s shown their love and support towards us both, we honestly appreciate it so much and our hearts feel so warm!
"It's still not sunk in and don't think it will for a while. I feel so grateful for the opportunity but most importantly of all I'm walking away with a girl that’s a dream and more. She’s humble, intelligent, caring, loving and so much more, I’m honestly so excited to start this journey on the outside with her. My real life Disney princess."
Referring to the moment Sanam said she loved him live on television, Kai said: "I have honestly fallen head over heels for her (if you can’t tell) and wanted to keep certain intimate things between us for the first time before we tell the world, just so we can saviour the moment more. This one is a big one for me and I mean this with my full heart. I LOVE YOU TOO SANAM!"
Sanam also posted a snap of the pair post Love Island and wrote: "The start of our love story. I can’t thank you all enough for the love you have given us. It honestly means the world to me to see how much support we have received. The positive messages, the videos of our journey, the fan pages, I honestly feel so blessed and overwhelmed with positive emotions I can’t express it.
"Love Island has been a beautiful experience for me and I’m so proud of say I’ve left with someone I love, admire, look up to, connect with on a deeper level and absolutely value and appreciate everything he stands for. I’m so excited to continue our journey on the outside and can’t wait for us to become so much more." For more showbiz and television stories get our newsletter here.
