Love Island stars Lucinda Strafford and Sean Stone are going from strength to strength, with Sean revealing marriage is already being discussed as the couple continue to build their future together.
Speaking exclusively to Daily Star in collaboration with Heart Bingo Online, Candyman Sean opened up about life after the villa and admitted he 'can't believe his luck' after finding love with Lucinda. Sean said: 'Things are going really, really well, to be fair. We're just enjoying ourselves and loving life, really.'
The pair have already packed plenty into their romance since leaving the villa, with trips abroad and family introductions helping to cement their relationship. He added: 'We've been away a few times to Turkey and Paris, and we've met each other's families. We're just doing everything in our own little bubble, and it hasn't really stopped since leaving the villa. It's been amazing.'
The reality star admitted he still feels grateful that the show brought them together. 'I can't believe my luck, honestly,' he said. 'I'm just so grateful for life and really, really happy.'
With Love Island relationships often moving at lightning speed, Sean revealed he and Lucinda have already spoken about what the future could hold. 'Love Island does fast-track your relationship, and we do speak about marriage here and there,' he said. 'We're both embracing what comes our way. Marriage is definitely in the picture.'
While wedding bells may not be ringing just yet, Sean says the pair are fully focused on enjoying life together and ticking off their shared goals. He explained: 'We've both got a lot of goals we want to achieve and places we want to see.'
The couple are also considering taking the next step by moving in together. At present, Sean and Lucinda live around an hour and a half apart, but distance has not caused any problems. 'As for moving in, we currently live about an hour and a half away from each other, but we make it work,' he said. 'It's definitely something on the horizon for sure. We're so happy together.'
Away from his romance, Sean also gave an update on his friendships from the show. He insisted his close bond with fellow Islander Tommy Bradley remains as strong as ever despite their busy schedules. 'Absolutely,' Sean said. 'We've both been super busy, but we need to get a catch-up in the diary. He's killing it right now and I'm proud. He's a top guy.'
Sean also singled out Harrison Solomon as another villa friendship he values. 'He's such a nice guy,' he said. 'He doesn't always get the best reaction, but he's genuinely a nice guy.'
