Where the Love Island winners are now - brutal splits, babies and marriage

After weeks of recouplings, heartbreak and romance, this year's hotly-anticipated Love Island final is now tantalising close.

Tonight either Ekin-Su Culculoglu and Davide Sanclimenti, Gemma Owen and Luca Bish, Tasha Ghouri and Andrew Le Page, and Indiyah Polack and Dami Hope will be crowned this year's champions and will leave the villa with their share of a whopping 50,000 prize fund.

That's unless they do the unthinkable and savagely steal the entire cash pot for themselves.

The past seven winners of the show have all left the show in a jubilant love bubble - that for many of them popped not long after joining the 'real world.'

Ahead of tonight's dramatic climax, we take a look at how the past winners have fared and if any are still together!

Millie Court and Liam Reardon - 2021

Liam Reardon, 23, and Millie Court, 26, are the reigning winners of Love Island, with them having reached the final and shared the grand prize on the ITV2 show last summer.

After a whirlwind year that saw the pair move in together, travel the world and capitalise on new endorsement deals, the pair shocked fans by confirming they had split last month.

In their respective statements the former lovebirds said they were "gutted" to part and wished each other all the best.

After announcing the break-up, Millie has denied rumours that Liam cheated on her and that had been tension over their varying career success.

Explaining it was the 'right decision for them', Millie said: "I want to stick up for Liam and have his back. He's not a bad guy."

Since the show, Millie has worked with ASOS including releasing her own collection for the fashion brand - which she used to work for as an assistant buyer before Love Island.

She's active on social media, including boasting 623,000 followers on TikTok and 50,000 subscribers on her YouTube channel - both of which document parts of her life and career.

"Liam has always been supportive of me so we rode through it together and he literally cheered me on with every single thing I did," Millie told The Sun.

Paige Turley and Fin Tapp - 2020

Finley Tapp, 22, and Paige Turley, 24, were the first ever winners of winter Love Island and are still going strong!

After the series, that was set in South Africa ahead of the Covid pandemic, Paige and Finn moved in to their own Manchester love nest and have not looked back.

In February this year, the duo celebrated their two year anniversary together with a romantic - and very showbizzy - night at the BRIT Awards.

After appearing on Celebrity Coach Trip together, Paige has returned to her roots and is pursuing a career in musi again, with her having been on Britain's Got Talent when she was younger. She's more recently shared photos from a studio.

She hasn't just been recording music though, with her having performed alongside the House and Garage Orchestra at the O2 Academy in Brixton earlier this year.

Finn was previously a semi-professional footballer for Oxford City and recently revealed he's mentoring young players over the process of moving up from a young team.

Amber Gill and Greg O'Shea - 2019

Self-professed 'first solo winner of Love Island' Amber Gill actually won the show with Greg O'Shea back in 2019 - despite only being a couple a matter of days before the final.

After opting to share the £50k prize pot, the pair did not last long in the real world and split weeks after their win.

During an appearance on Loose Women, Amber revealed that rugby star Greg broke up with her over text message.

"I wanted to make it work. I am disappointed it's over... but I'll be fine. Onwards and upwards from here."

While her own romantic story didn't end in a fairytale, Amber has remained a huge Love Island fan - regularly delighting- and often riling fellow viewers - with her observations.

The winner even got into hot water with current star Luca's family after she accused the fishmonger of 'bullying' contestant Tasha.

When she's not causing Twitter storms, Amber has also appeared on shows like Celebrity Mastermind and Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway and released her debut novel Until I Met You this year.

While Greg has continued to play as a professional rugby player and been a part of the national rugby sevens team in Ireland.

He's said to also be an executive board member of the Rugby Players Ireland and has experience as a presenter, including providing rugby coverage for BBC Sport.

Dani Dyer and Jack Fincham - 2018

Dani Dyer, 25, and Jack Fincham, 31, were the runaway favourites when they won the reality show in 2018.

Sadly on the outside, things quickly turned sour and after a series of rows the pair decided to move out of their rented Canary Wharf love nest and go their separate ways after just nine months.

Dani caused a stir when weeks later pictures emerged of her snogging her pre Love Island ex Sammy Kimmence in the street.

While Jack also made headlines when it was revealed he'd fathered a child with another woman months later.

Dani also went on to have a baby with Sammy - but the pair split shortly after welcoming Santiago.

The TV star's former partner was jailed for 42 months after scamming pensioners out of £34,000

After speaking out about life as a single mum, Dani has gone on to find love with West Ham footballer Jarrod Bowen, 25, with her expressing pride earlier this year after he was named as part of the England national squad.

She has also launched the podcast Sorted with the Dyers, which she hosts alongside her dad Danny Dyer and made a guest appearance in EastEnders.

While Jack has continued to appear on TV including with shows such as The Only Way Is Essex, The Real Full Monty and Don't Rock the Boat.

Amber Davies and Kem Cetinay - 2017

Kem and Amber won the third series of Love Island (ITV)

Amber Davies, 25, and Kem Cetinay, 26, were declared the winners of Love Island after a hugely successful series.

Sadly, by the following December, the two announced they'd gone their separate ways.

"Our schedules made it difficult. We'll remain good friends," said the pair in a joint statement.

Amber has found a successful career in musical theatre since - having been a lead cast member in 9 to 5 the Musical in the West End and toured with Bring It On the Musical.

She's currently dating Nick Kyriacou and was recently announced as part of the cast of Back To The Future - The Musical, with her set to play the character of Lorraine Baines.

Kem has also remained in the spotlight, having taken part in TV shows such as Dancing on Ice and Celebrity MasterChef - as well as reality project You Vs. Chris & Kem.

He co-hosts an official Love Island podcast - titled the Morning After - and runs his own business Array Bar and Restaurant in Essex. He also has his own line in Primark stores.

Cara De La Hoyde, 32, and Nathan Massey, 30, won the show - and viewers' hearts - back in 2016 and are still together after a few bumps along the way.

The couple briefly ended their relationship in 2017, but got back together when Cara was pregnant with their first child.

The couple reconciled the following year - with them tying the knot in an intimate wedding ceremony back in 2019.

Their first child, Freddie, now four, was born in 2017 and they welcomed their second child, Delilah, almost two, was born in 2020.

The couple have somewhat remained in the public eye, though they haven't done much TV work in comparison to other former winners from the ITV2 reality show.

Cara is the co-owner of personalised clothing brand Embroidery by FJ and carpenter Nathan recently revealed that he has returned to work on a building site.

Jess Hayes and Max Morley

Despite their loved-up admissions at the final, the pair split shortly afterwards, with a heartbroken Jess explaining: "Some things aren't meant to be".

She was later engaged to mechanic Dan Lawry, but they split up last year.

They share son Presley, three, and she tragically had a miscarriage with son Teddy in 2020.

Jess has remained in the public eye as a fashion and beauty influencer, and she's said to now be dating a mystery man - saying earlier this year that she's "in a good place".

Max has tended to keep himself out of the public eye since winning, though he do on Ex on the Beach in 2017 and has shared updates about his life with fans on social media.

The cricketer became a father last year, announcing the birth of son Brooklyn, now eight months old, on Instagram. He's said to share his baby with his mystery girlfriend.
