Love Island All Stars Finalist Yamen Sanders Set for Netflix's Perfect Match
In a surprising twist for reality TV fans, Yamen Sanders, a finalist from the recent Love Island: All Stars series, is reportedly poised to make a shock appearance on Netflix's dating competition show Perfect Match. This news comes shortly after his exit from the ITV villa, where he and partner Whitney Adebayo secured fifth place in the third series of the spin-off.
All Stars Winners and Final Rankings
The Love Island: All Stars finale on Monday evening crowned Samie Elishi and Ciaran Davies as winners, with Millie Court and Zac Woodworth taking second place. Leanne Amaning and Scott van-der-Sluis finished in third, while Lucinda Strafford and Sean Stone placed fourth. Despite their fifth-place finish, Yamen Sanders and Whitney Adebayo have remained visibly close, enjoying time together in the UK post-show.
Yamen's Move to Perfect Match
According to reports from The Sun, Yamen is set to join the upcoming fourth series of Netflix's Perfect Match, a strategic dating competition where couples prove their compatibility to influence other matches. The show first debuted on the streaming platform in 2023, with a second season following in 2024 and a third airing in 2025. Filming for the new series allegedly took place in November, prior to Yamen's participation in the South African villa for Love Island: All Stars. Netflix has been contacted for comment by Daily Mail, but no official statement has been released yet.
Yamen's Reality TV Career
Yamen Sanders is no stranger to reality dating shows, having shot to fame on the first season of Love Island USA in 2019. He later appeared on Netflix's Temptation Island in 2025 before joining Love Island: All Stars this year. His relationship with Whitney Adebayo seemed to be progressing well, with both expressing optimism about their future despite the geographical distance—Yamen lives in Los Angeles, while Whitney is based in the UK.
Relationship Status and Future Plans
In recent interviews, Yamen hinted at his plans post-Love Island, stating, 'A lot of us will hang out. Of course, spend a lot of time with Whitney, but a lot of us will hang out.' He also mentioned potential living arrangements with fellow contestants, adding, 'Us American guys want to get a crib and maybe with Ciaran too, that's definitely on the cards too.' During the Love Island official podcast, Yamen described their relationship as heading in a 'boyfriend, girlfriend route,' emphasizing their excitement to explore things outside the villa.
Fan Speculation and Other Couple Dynamics
This development follows fan speculation about other Love Island: All Stars couples, with viewers suspecting that Jack Keating and Sher Suarez may have already split shortly after the finale. Jack's recent Snapchat post, where he commented, 'Done with dating shows, that ain't real,' has fueled rumors of a breakup, highlighting the often volatile nature of reality TV relationships. As Yamen prepares for his Netflix venture, the dynamics between him and Whitney, along with other contestants, continue to captivate audiences and spark discussions across social media platforms.
