Sadly, the villa is officially closed for another year, but that doesn’t mean the “Love Island” drama is over.
The eighth season of “Love Island USA” ended on July 12, but the reunion was released on Monday night, giving us updates on where every couple stands in the real world. We thought it was the perfect time to check in with every couple who’s met through the hit reality show.
Of the eight “winning” couples, only three are still together. Other ongoing relationships formed off-screen or did not capture enough votes to take home the big prize. Over the last two years, fans have been able to continue watching these relationships grow with the spinoff show “Beyond the Villa.” A third season has already been greenlit, so we haven’t seen the last of the season eight crew.
Here’s every couple from the “Love Island USA” universe who are still together.
Hannah Wright and Marco Donatelli
Wright and Donatelli met on season five of “Love Island” and eventually won the entire season in summer 2023.
In May 2025, they became the first couple from the American version of “Love Island” to get engaged, with a wedding date set for December 2026, according to their Instagram posts.
Carsten Bergersen and Taylor Smith
Bergersen, affectionately known as “Bergie,” and Smith also met during season five of “Love Island” in 2023. They came in third place.
After three years of dating (and a stint on “The Traitors” for Bergersen), they got engaged in May 2026.
Serena Page and Kordell Beckham
Beckham and Page had a rocky time during season six of “Love Island” in 2024, but they worked through their Casa Amor drama and ended up winning the season.
Fans got to see their relationship grow during the first season of “Beyond the Villa,” and the two are still together now.
Leah Kateb and Miguel Harichi
Kateb and Harichi were another one of season six’s power couples, with Kateb being the biggest breakout star from “Love Island USA” ever. After a dramatic breakup with Rob Rausch, Kateb met Harichi, and the two have been inseparable since. They were ruled the season’s runners-up.
Like Page and Beckham, Kateb and Harichi were cast members on the first season of “Beyond the Villa,” and fans watched as Harichi navigated a move to Los Angeles from London.
Iris Kendall and TJ Palma
Kendall and Palma started off season seven together, but Palma was eventually dumped from the villa after not receiving enough votes from his fellow islanders, and Kendall elected to stay. She recoupled with Pepe Garcia, and they made it all the way to the finale, placing fourth.
However, soon after the show ended, Kendall and Garcia broke up, and she reconnected with Palma. Fans got to see the aftermath of this drama on “Beyond the Villa,” but through it all, Palma and Kendall have remained together.
Bryce Alakai and Trinity Tatum
Season eight’s winners were Tatum and Alakai, known affectionately as “Brinity.” After nearly friend-zoning each other in the first few episodes, these two rebounded and became the most solid couple in the villa — it was all but assured they would take home the $100,000 prize.
In a post-show interview with People, they confirmed that they’re still together and Tatum is planning to move to LA, so they won’t be doing long-distance for long.
Carl Schmidt and Aniya Harvey
The runners-up of season eight, Harvey and Schmidt, are also still together, making their relationship Instagram official a few days after the finale.
“I truly cherish the connection I have with Carl, and I’m so happy that he made my fairytale dream a reality. I cannot wait to see how our story continues,” Harvey wrote.
Schmidt simply commented: “Princess.”
At the reunion, they confirmed they were doing long-distance, as Harvey lives in Georgia and Schmidt lives in Colorado. But they’re still going strong — in an August 2026 Teen Vogue interview, Harvey recommended that everyone should “find you a Carl.”
Zach Georgiou and Kayda Bosse
Georgiou and Bosse came in fourth place during season eight, and have since confirmed their relationship on social media, with Georgiou saying, “I’m literally so grateful and blessed to have met her. She’s been my rock.”
Georgiou has thanked Bosse and the rest of his castmates for supporting him after he received hate on social media from “Love Island” viewers.
After deciding not to officially date in the villa, Bosse confirmed on TikTok that Georgiou is her boyfriend, and that she’s moved to LA to live with him and his brother, Charlie, who appeared on season seven.
Kenzie Annis and Dylan Wrona
Wrona and Annis made their relationship exclusive shortly before getting eliminated from the villa in the penultimate episode of season eight.
Since then, they’ve traveled to LA and New York City together and posted on social media. Annis also confirmed their relationship during her July appearance on “Call Her Daddy.”
KC Chandler and Tierra Davis
After a controversial Casa Amor, Chandler brought Davis back to the villa, where the two remained in a couple until their elimination during season eight — but not before Chandler asked Davis to be his girlfriend.
They made it Instagram official a week later, with a caption “Still we rise,” a reference to Chandler’s giant back tattoo.
The couple confirmed their status at the reunion.
Melanie Moreno and Sincere Rhea
Should these two be on here? They still can’t give us a straight answer about their relationship status, but since they sat together at the reunion and have been spotted on dates post-show, it’s a good bet they’re working on it.
Moreno and Rhea paired up on the first day of “Love Island” and remained together throughout the season, despite Rhea’s repeated “explorations” of other connections and Moreno’s family’s best efforts to break them up.
At the reunion, Moreno said Rhea was trying to earn her trust back, but she stopped short of calling him her boyfriend.
Kat Gibson and Bryce Fins
Fins and Gibson appeared on season four in 2022 (the first season to air on Peacock), but were never together romantically on the show — Fins was paired up with Courtney Boerner twice before getting eliminated, and Gibson was single for most of her time before choosing to leave the villa of her own accord.
Sleuths on Reddit have suspected since at least February 2024 that the two were dating, and the couple hard-launched in 2025.
Cormac Murphy and Johnnie Garcia
These two weren’t even on the same season, but the “Love Island” universe is very connected.
Murphy was on the first season of the American “Love Island” in 2019 — he didn’t last long — and Garcia was on season five in 2023. She made it all the way to the episode before the finale before getting dumped.
The two revealed their relationship in 2024 on Instagram, and they still regularly post together. Garcia shared that “Love Island” producers asked if Murphy would be a bombshell last season, even though the two are dating.
