Love Island 2026 has officially drawn to a close, with Julia and Lorenzo being crowned the winners of this year's series. The nail-biting final episode saw Maya Jama reveal the results of the public vote, confirming the couple as the champions.
The final three couples were Angelista and Simba, Jasmine and Kavan, and Julia and Lorenzo, with only one pair taking the top prize. Julia, an insurance broker, had previously stated she doesn't compete, while Lorenzo admitted he likes a “posh girl” and finds drama fun as long as no one is crying.
Other notable Islanders this season included Simba, a neurological rehabilitation assistant from Enfield who is looking for love after four years single, and Kavan, the younger brother of fellow Islander Aidan, who acknowledged the potential awkwardness of liking the same girl as his sibling.
Jasmine, who goes “straight for the goal” in relationships, sought someone “objectively hot” and confident, while Yasmin Hadlow, a recruitment consultant from Kent, admitted she falls in love quickly. Tommy, a sportsman, had his eye on Yasmin and Jasmine, and Mica emphasised the importance of personality and a bit of drama.
With the season wrapped up, fans can now reflect on the drama and romance that unfolded in the villa, as Love Island 2026 comes to a close.
