As of February 2025, the most recent winners of the Love Island franchise are Gabby Allen and Casey O’Gorman, who triumphed in the “Love Island: All Stars” series. This special edition brought back former contestants for another chance at finding love. Gabby and Casey, considered underdogs, secured the £50,000 prize, surpassing favorites Grace Jackson and Luca Bish, who finished in second place. The final standings also included Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Curtis Pritchard in third place, Catherine Agbaje and Omar Nyame in fourth, and Elma Pazar and Sammy Root in fifth.

The outcome was particularly surprising due to last-minute drama involving Grace Jackson. Former islander Olivia Hawkins alleged that Grace had expressed a willingness to “do whatever it takes” to win, based on a text message. Although Grace denied the accusation, fans speculate that this controversy influenced public votes, contributing to Gabby and Casey’s unexpected victory.

Prior to the All Stars series, the main summer edition of Love Island in 2024 concluded with Mimii Ngulube and Josh Oyinsan as the winners. They made history as the first Black couple to win the ITV dating competition. However, their relationship ended two months after the show concluded.

In the American version, “Love Island USA” season six, which aired in 2024, crowned Kordell Beckham and Serena Page as the winning couple. This marked a significant moment, as their victory came just over a week after Mimii and Josh’s win in the UK, highlighting a period of increased diversity in the franchise’s outcomes.

The Love Island franchise continues to captivate audiences worldwide with its blend of romance, drama, and unexpected twists, consistently producing memorable moments and headline-making outcomes.
