The king and queen of the 2023 villa are indeed still together. In fact, they are getting married!
That's right, in April 2024, just over year after they won the show, Kai and Sanam got engaged.
With their cash prize, they sweetly revealed that they plan to invest in projects to help children, as Kai (a teacher) and Sanam (a social worker) bonded over their values in the villa.
Are Ron Hall and Lana Jenkins still together?
Despite becoming the first official boyfriend and girlfriend of series 9, Lana and Ron sadly parted ways just three months after making it to the finals.
They went from strength to strength when they left the villa and met each others’ families, but long-distance seemed to be too much of a strain on their relationship, with an insider telling this tabloid: "Unfortunately, they have decided to separate, which is a decision they have made amicably and of course, they still remain good friends."
“Commuting from Manchester to Essex and back again whenever they wanted to spend time together, as well as managing their work commitments just proved too difficult," they added.
Are Shaq Muhammad and Tanya Manhenga still together?
Despite a turbulent romance in the villa during Casa Amor season, where Tanya brought back Martin Akinola, she and Shaq have gone from strength to strength since.
A year on from their series they did spark rumours of a potential split after Tanya unfollowed Shaq on Instagram and removed most of their photos together.
However an insider has said: “Tanya has made it clear to her friends that she is still with Shaq. Yes, she has unfollowed him and the pair did have a huge argument, but it’s nothing they can’t fix.”
As of July 2024, the couple are back following each other so things seem to be back on track!
Are Tom Clare and Samie Elishi still together?
Tom Clare and Samie Elishi seemed more in love than ever on the show and they even went from strength to strength after officially becoming boyfriend and girlfriend soon after the series wrapped.
The pair split just a month after leaving the villa, with an insider telling this tabloid: "Samie and Tom have sadly decided to call it a day.
"There is a lot of love and respect there but it just wasn’t going anywhere. The distance between them was too much and they are both really focused on their careers post Love Island.”
In May 2023 they sparked rumours that they had rekindled their relationship, which Tom appeared to confirm this during an appearance on Love Island's spin-off show Aftersun in the July.
However a couple of months later they split again and things were more messy with a few social media digs towards one another. Tom then appeared on All Stars in January 2024 where he won with Molly Smith.

Olivia Hawkins brought back Maxwell Samuda from Casa Amor after previously being coupled up with Kai.
However, after weeks of denying rumours that they had gone their separate ways, a rep for Olivia confirmed their split in early April.
They told Goss.ie: "Things weren’t the same between Olivia and Maxwell after they left the villa. Life has been hectic and they both decided it was best to end things.
“Olivia is happy to focus on herself right now and has a lot of exciting work projects coming up, including a role in the next Fast & Furious movie. It’s sad it didn’t work out but there’s no hard feelings between them.”
The former couple went on to delete all traces of each other from their Instagram feeds, while Olivia unfollowed Maxwell.
Are Zara Deniz Lackenby-Brown and Jordan Odofin still together?
The plot twist of the season saw Zara Deniz Lackenby-Brown and Jordan Odofin - both bombshells at different times - have a lucky streak in love.
Despite Zara leaving the villa just before Jordan came in, fate brought them together as they met back on the outside and began dating.
However, just a week after the series ended, Zara and Jordan confirmed that they had called it quits, making them the second couple from this year's series to call time on their romance.
In joint statements posted on their Instagram Stories, they said they wanted to "acknowledge the increasing public support for us to be seen as an exclusive couple".
The rest of the statement read: “After a few dates since leaving the villa, we know that we definitely get along & enjoy each others company. It’s been 2 & a half weeks of getting to know each other, & for now it’s a fun friendship between us. We have a lot of respect for each other & that’s what matters.”
Are Casey O’Gorman and Rosie Seabrook still together?
Casey O'Gorman and Rosie Seabrook seemed smitten with each other on the show as the former coupled up with the bombshell after previously being with Claudia Fogarty.
Things seemed to be going well with the pair after they headed home to the UK, however, just two weeks after leaving the show, Casey revealed they had called it quits - meaning they officially became the first series 9 couple to split.
Replying to a fan Q&A on his Instagram Stories about how his romance with Rosie is going, Casey replied: "Rosie and I have spoken… she's a great girl. Life outside the villa is just very different and we will remain friends moving forward."
