Love Island 2026 winner Julia Majchrzak has broken her social media silence with a heartfelt Instagram post, prompting an outpouring of support from fans. The reality star's post comes amid ongoing speculation about her relationship with fellow winner Lorenzo.
Julia's emotional message
In her first Instagram post since leaving the villa, Julia wrote: "And just like that... what a summer. I walked into the villa not knowing what to expect, and I'm leaving with memories for a lifetime, incredible friendships, and endless gratitude for every single one of you."
She continued: "I hope this journey reminds every woman to back herself, speak up, and never let anyone dim her light. And if anyone ever tries to make you doubt yourself... well, you know what to tell them."
Addressing fans directly, she added: "To everyone who's supported Lorenzo and me, thank you. We're both incredibly grateful. Before this, neither of us were in the public eye - we're learning as we go, navigating a completely new world, and doing our best."
Fans react with support
The post was met with an influx of supportive comments. One fan wrote: "@juliamayska in case you've not heard this enough, you guys won because of YOU as well! ! You're amazing and so honest, it's refreshing. Please don't ever think you are alone, you deserve so much!"
Another commented: "Our winner! So proud of you we was waiting for this moment", while a third added: "The most deserving love island winners absolutely loved you in the villa! Keep being you." Lorenzo also chimed in with a jest: "Liked by Lorenzo Alessi."
Relationship speculation continues
Julia and Lorenzo were crowned champions in last month's live final, with Jasmine and Kavan as runners-up. However, fans have expressed concern over the pair spending time apart since leaving the villa, and speculation has grown after followers noticed Lorenzo 'liking' other women's photos on Instagram.
Both Lorenzo and Julia have since posted pictures of each other on their Instagram stories as they headed out for food and drinks, seemingly on their first date since exiting the villa.
Speaking on This Morning earlier this week, Lorenzo addressed the rumours: "As we've left the villa we're still in the same place." He added: "We're exclusively dating. Honestly it's been a crazy few days and everything just needs to settle down and we're going to go on some lovely dates."
