Love Island stars Will Young and Jessie Wynter engaged

Two of the nation's favourite Love Island contestants have announced they are set to tie the knot, three years after finding love on the hit ITV show.

A Secret Festive Proposal

Sheep farmer Will Young, 26, proposed to his girlfriend Jessie Wynter, 29, in a secret romantic gesture on December 9, 2025. The couple managed to keep the exciting news under wraps until they chose to share it with their fans and followers just after the New Year.

Will popped the question just weeks before Christmas, creating a private and intimate moment for the pair. The Australian-born fitness coach, Jessie, said yes, marking the next chapter in their relationship which began in the Love Island villa back in 2023.

Sharing the Happy News on Social Media

The loved-up pair took to Instagram to reveal their engagement to the world. Will posted a simple yet heartfelt announcement alongside a photo of the couple.

He captioned the post: "The love of my life said yes. 09.12.25." The date confirms the proposal took place on the ninth of December last year.

Jessie also shared images showcasing her stunning new engagement ring, a large diamond sparkler, which she paired with a celebratory glass of fizz. The posts were quickly flooded with congratulatory messages from fellow Islanders, friends, and delighted fans who have followed their journey from the screen to real life.

From Villa Romance to Real-Life Wedding Plans

Will and Jessie's romance has been a standout success story from their series of Love Island. Their engagement ends months of speculation from fans eager to see if the couple would take the next step.

Their relationship has weathered the transition from the intense, televised environment of the villa to a normal life together in the UK, with Will often sharing glimpses of their life on his family's farm.

While no wedding date has been announced yet, the couple are expected to begin planning their big day soon. Their engagement adds to the list of successful long-term relationships forged on the popular dating show, proving that for some contestants, love truly can be found under the sun.
