Love Island 2022 will go down in history as one of the most dramatic seasons on screen. The popular ITV2 dating show, which saw Ekin-Su Culculoglu and Davide Sanclimenti win, had everything from iconic one-liners to dramatic Casa Amor recouplings and brutal dumpings.
However, series eight was also hugely successful, with many this year's finalists forming strong bonds that have lasted outside the famous villa. But where are the couples now?
From moving in, to spin-off shows, matching tattoos and extravagant proposals, there have been lots of updates from the Love Island 2022 finalists.

Here's what Ekin-Su and Davide, Luca Bish and Gemma Owen, Indiyah Polack and Dami Hope, Tasha Ghouri and Andrew Le Page, and more have been up to since Love Island ended.
Ekin-Su Culculoglu and Davide Sanclimenti - together
Love Island 2022 winners Ekin-Su and Davide won series eight of the popular ITV2 dating show and are still together. Despite a very bumpy road in the villa, the duo won the nation's hearts and have since gone on to delight fans by announcing a spin-off show that follows their lives post-villa.
The two-part programme, which is called Ekin-Su & Davide: Homecomings, will see them pack their suitcases again for two new adventures. Davide will return to his hometown Frosinone for the first time since leaving the Love Island villa with Ekin-Su by his side, while Ekin-Su will introduce Davide to the acting colleagues she met while living and working as an actress in Turkey.

Ekin-Su and Davide have also spent time in New York together and regularly post loved-up snaps on Instagram. In his most recent post, Davide shared a picture of the pair and wrote: "I can win the world with one hand, if you're holding the other one."
Gemma Owen and Luca Bish - split
Love Island 2022 runners-up Gemma and Luca appeared to also be going from strength to strength. The pair coupled up pretty early on in the series and went all the way to the final.
Luca then asked Gemma to be his girlfriend with an extravagant proposal post-villa. The couple shared the romantic moment with an Instagram video.
However, 11 weeks after making it official the pair called it quits. Gemma announced the new to her 2.1 million followers with a statement on Wednesday, November 16, it read: "I wanted to let you know that Luca and I are no longer in a relationship. It wasn't an easy decision but ultimately this is what is best for us both right now.
"Many of you have been on this journey with us from the very beginning and I want to thank you for your continued support as we start new chapters." You can read more on this here.
Luca seemed unprepared for the news to break and later responded with his own statement. He wrote: "Switched my phone back on after taking some time out to clear my head after an emotional afternoon to thousands of messages and news articles about my breakup.
"I would have liked some time to process this privately but as you all already now know sadly Gemma and I made the mutual decision earlier today to go our separate ways. We have been on such a journey together and have made some amazing memories which I will treasure. I can't thank everyone enough for their support for us as a couple during and after Love Island."
Indiyah Polack and Dami Hope - together
Indiyah and Dami, who finished third on Love Island 2022, are also still together. The pair had a rocky journey in the villa which began with a friendship as Dami got to know Amber Beckford, while Indiyah was coupled up with Ikenna Ekwonna.
Then, during the explosive Casa Amor challenge, Indiyah returned with Deji Adeniyi while Dami recoupled with Summer Botwe. However, the pair eventually found their way back to one another and appear closer than ever.
Indiyah and Dami regularly support one another's endeavors on social media and recently enjoyed a trip away to Ibiza together.
Tasha Ghouri and Andrew Le Page - together
Tasha and Andrew came fourth in the Love Island 2022 final and seem more loved up than ever. The pair coupled up pretty early on in the series but hit a bump in the road when they both recoupled during Casa Amor.
However, they eventually rekindled and have been inseparable since leaving the show in August 2022. The pair have even got matching tattoos and more recently moved in together.
Taking to their respective Instagram stories, the 24-year-old dancer and 27-year-old former estate agent took fans on their "moving day" journey as they packed up their boxes to start their life together under one roof. You can read more on this here.
Paige Thorne and Adam Collard - split
Paige and Adam came fifth on Love Island 2022 and just missed out on a place in the final. Despite the distance between them the Swansea-born paramedic and personal trainer, who hails from Newcastle, appeared to be going strength to strength.
The couple updated fans as Adam visited Paige's hometown and enjoyed ice-cream in the Mumbles, while Paige documented her trip to Newcastle. The pair also recently enjoyed a trip to Italy for Paige's birthday.
However, the pair split shortly after the Geordie was spotted with his arm around a girl in McDonald's. In October Paige finally broke her silnce on the break-up having previously removed all traces of Adam for her social media pages.
During an interview on the Saving Grace podcast, the Swansea-born star said: "I'm single – living my best life. No, I'm joking, it's been a really s**t time."
Discussing the now viral McDonald's video, Paige claimed: "It's not just that video. There are other videos that people don't know about of different people, of the same night, in different locations. At first I was like, nah do you know what? It's just an arm. I get everyone's just a little bit flirty. There's nothing to it. If I'm in the club and a guy puts his arm around me, is it cheating? No. And then these other videos came out and I’m just like, ooh. Ooh, I can’t justify this." You can read more on what Paige said here.
Adam later opened up about the night in question during an interview with The Sun, which you can read here, telling the publication that he was just working and that people will believe what they want to believe. He said: "It all got blown out of proportion, then all the other photos and videos I’d taken that night got turned into looking like something else. There’s a video of me earlier that night in a club. I don’t even know who took it, but I’ve seen one of them and I think that’s what Paige has been referring to. I was just working."
