I got you, babe! Inside the Love Island couples who've welcomed children together
From fling to family life, some Love Island couples have made it to babies and even marriage. The highly anticipated second series of Love Island: All Stars is now underway, with Maya Jama back at the helm.
And as we wait to see which love matches will blossom this time around in South Africa, we’ve been taking a look back at the former Love Island couples who, after appearing on the show, went on to make the ultimate commitment – swapping a sun-soaked villa for sleepless nights and nappy changes! Here, we recall the island romances that went from flirting to family ties…
Cara De La Hoyde and Nathan Massey (Season 2)
Their journey from Love Island to family life is nothing short of a fairytale. After falling for each other in the villa in 2016 and winning the series, Nathan Massey and Cara De La Hoyde faced a few ups and downs, including a brief split in 2017. Love won the day and they soon reunited, tying the knot in 2019. Today, their biggest wins are their two children – Freddie, born in December 2017, and Delilah, born in July 2020.

And parenthood has only strengthened their bond, with the duo often sharing their family life on social media.
Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury (Season 5)
Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury’s love story was electric from the moment they locked eyes after Molly entered the villa as a bombshell in 2019. Their relationship went from strength to strength, and last January the couple welcomed their daughter, Bambi. In the same year, they got engaged after Tommy’s proposed on a clifftop in Ibiza.
However, in a shocking turn of events, Molly-Mae announced in August that they were parting ways, amid rumours that Tommy had cheated – which he has always strenuously denied. Now, they are committed to co-parenting Bambi and say she is their priority But who knows what the future holds for these two, as following a steamy NYE kiss rumours abound that they could be rekindling their once fairytale romance.
Cally Jane Beech and Luis Morrison (Season 1)
Cally Jane Beech and Luis Morrison made history as the first Love Island couple to have a baby together. After meeting on the show in 2015, they quickly became fan favourites. Their relationship faced some challenges after leaving the villa, but their love brought them their greatest blessing – their daughter Vienna, born in May 2017.
While they went their separate ways the following year – with Luis going on to have a son with a new partner – the pair continue to focus on co-parenting their little girl.
Alex Bowen and Olivia Buckland (Season 2)
This couple are the ultimate Love Island success story. After sparks flew in 2016, Alex Bowen and Olivia Buckland left the villa as runners-up – but quickly proved their relationship was the real deal. They tied the knot in a glamorous 2018 ceremony at Gosfield Hall in Essex, becoming the first Love Island couple to walk down the aisle.
In June 2022, they embraced a whole new chapter with the arrival of their son, Abel. Olivia recently revealed, "I would love another child and Alex would as well, but two is the limit! It’s mad enough with one.”
Jamie Jewitt and Camilla Thurlow (Season 3)
Camilla Thurlow and Jamie Jewitt’s slow-burn romance in 2017 captured the nation’s hearts. The down-to-earth couple tied the knot in 2021 and have welcomed three children – Nell in October 2020, Nora in May 2022 and Ollie in May 2024. Camilla and Jamie often share heartwarming glimpses of their family life and are clearly still head over heels with each other.
On Jamie’s birthday last May, Camilla penned the sweet tribute, “Happy birthday @jamiejewitt_ , it’s going to be another big year for us and we can only keep doing our best but I hope you can see how much everything you do means to our family, because kids don’t get to pick their parents, but if they did our little girls would pick you, they would pick you every single time.” Aww.
Jessica Shears and Dom Lever (Season 3)
Their fiery relationship kicked off in 2017, and from reality TV to real-life romance, Dom Lever and Jessica Shears’ bond has only grown deeper. After getting engaged in 2017 and tying the knot in October 2018, the pair welcomed their first child, a baby boy, in 2019. Three years later, they welcomed their second son. While their children regularly feature on their social media, Jess and Dom have never publicly announced either of their sons’ names.
Jess previously admitted she “couldn’t believe” she’d met The One on a dating show. We bet she couldn’t have predicted having two children with him, either.
Love Island: All Stars is on nightly, except Saturday, at 9pm on ITV2
