Yahoo News All the Love Island winning couples so far
Who made it to the series finale, and are they still together?
Love Island 2024 has crowned its winners after 58 days in the sun-kissed Mallorca villa. Mimii Ngulube and Josh Oyinsan made history as the first Black couple to be voted the winning couple by viewers, and win the £50k prize.
The ITV2 dating show has crowned many winning couples since its revival in 2015, with some remembered as household TV names while others quickly faded into obscurity.
Before its runaway success, Love Island started out as a celebrity series for two runs in 2005 and 2006, but who has won since it opened up to regular singles looking for love?
Season 1 - 2015
Winners: Jess Hayes and Max Morley
Runners up: Hannah Elizabeth and Jon Clark
What happened next: Even die-hard Love Island fans will have to search the outer reaches of their memories to unearth details of what happened way back in series one, when contestants really were looking for love rather than a reality TV career.
Sadly, things didn't work out for Jess and Max, who split just six weeks after winning. He went on to date Charlotte Crosby for a while, but they broke up when she was caught kissing ex Gaz Beadle.
Season 2 - 2016
Winners: Cara De La Hoyde and Nathan Massey
Runners up: Alex Bowen and Olivia Buckland
What happened next: Season two is probably the biggest success story in Love Island history.
Although winners Cara and Nathan had a brief wobble during their first pregnancy, they got back together shortly before she gave birth and are now married with two children.
They aren't the only ones: runners up Olivia and Alex are also married, and welcomed their first child last summer.
Season 3 - 2017
Winners: Amber Davies and Kem Cetinay
Runners up: Camilla Thurlow and Jamie Jewitt
What happened next: This was the year that Love Island got really big in the world of reality TV and although its relationships didn't work out, it led to stardom for many of the cast.
It wasn't long before Amber and Kem split, but she has gone on to star in various big name musicals while he has landed a huge amount of TV work, including presenting for This Morning and taking part in Dancing On Ice.
The enduring romance from season three was between Kem and best pal Chris Hughes.
Season 4 - 2018
Winners: Dani Dyer and Jack Fincham
Runners up: Laura Anderson and Paul Knops
What happened next: Danny Dyer's namesake daughter was the popular winner in 2018, but less than a year later they had split.
Dani rekindled things with her pre-Love Island ex Sammy Kimmence and they welcomed a son in 2021, but split when Kimmence was jailed for scamming two elderly men out of thousands. She welcomed twins with Premier League footballer Jarrod Bowen in 2023.
Season 5 - 2019
Winners: Amber Gill and Greg O'Shea
Runners up: Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury

Season 6 - 2020 (winter)
Winners: Finn Tapp and Paige Turley

What happened next: Millie and Liam had a rocky time in the villa, especially when Liam's head was turned in Casa Amor.

Season 8 - 2022
Winners: Ekin-Su Culculoglu and Davide Sanclimenti
Runners up: Gemma Owen and Luca Bish
