Love Island fans have been left puzzled after Yamen Sanders, who finished fifth on Love Island All Stars with Whitney Adebayo, appeared on Netflix's Perfect Match. The dating show, which reunites singles from various reality programmes, has returned for a new series.
The confusion stems from Yamen's romantic connection with Whitney, which seemed strong after the show. However, the explanation for his Perfect Match appearance is straightforward: filming for Perfect Match took place in November 2025, before he entered the Love Island villa in January 2026.
Yamen's Netflix profile hints at his journey, stating he is searching for a partner who will allow him to win by 'just being himself.' He is also known from Temptation Island Season 1 and Love Island USA Season 1.
As for his relationship with Whitney, neither has confirmed a split, but fans have noted a lack of joint social media posts, sparking speculation. No official announcement has been made.
