As the season progresses, they will have a chance to couple up - and break up - with their fellow islanders, while viewers will be able to weigh in on the action, voting for their favourites or sharing their thoughts on which pairs are the most and least compatible.
After two months in the sun, the four remaining couples will head to the final, and fans will crown their winners through a public vote.
The victorious couple will receive a £50,000 cash prize, and they will join a long list of previous winners.
The most recent champions were Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan from the winter 2023 season, who became the first couple to get together in Casa Amor then go on to win the show.
As we wait for the season 10 stars to make their villa debut, here’s everything you need to know about all the previous Love Island winners, including their current relationship status.
Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan – Season 9 (2023)
Relationship status: Still together
The 2023 winter Love Island final saw the show’s host Maya Jama announce that Sanam and Kai were this year's winning couple.
Before their win, Sanam accidentally revealed she is in love with Kai, while Kai told viewers to “watch this space” about asking Sanam to be his girlfriend in the outside world.
It wasn’t all plain-sailing for the pair, however, with both contestants' heads turning during the infamous Casa Amor segment.
Ekin-Su Cülcüloglu and Davide Sanclimenti – Season 8 (2022)
Relationship status: Still together
The 2021 hugely exciting Love Island finale saw Ekin-Su and Davide emerge as the 2022 winners after the public watched their whirlwind romance unfold.
Five months since the show, the pair are still going strong and recently appeared in their very own reality TV show, titled Ekin-Su & Davide: Homecomings, which saw them travelling back to their home countries.
Ekin-Su is currently taking part on season 15 of Dancing on Ice.
Liam Reardon and Millie Court – Season 7 (2021)
Relationship status: Rumoured reconciliation
Liam and Millie emerged as the 2021 champions of Love Island, beating Chloe Burrows and Toby Aromolaran as well as Faye Winter and Teddy Soares to that £50,000 prize money.
Unfortunately, the couple broke up in July, with Millie sharing the news in an Instagram post and telling her followers that it was "a tough decision" but that they were "both ready for new chapters".
This year, though, reconciliation rumours have swirled around the couple, who were spotted on holiday together. Could they possibly make things work a second time around? Both stars have separately confirmed that they are dating someone, but they are playing coy as to who.
Paige Turley and Finn Tapp – Season 6 (2020)
Relationship status: Separated
Paige and Finn, the first ever winners of winter Love Island, stayed together for three years after being crowned the 2020 series champions, spending lockdown together and later moving into a flat in Manchester, however they reportedly called time on their relationship in April 2023.
"Paige and Finn had a really good run, but they are still super young and decided it wasn’t forever in the end," a source told The Sun.
Amber Gill and Greg O'Shea – Season five (2019)
Relationship status: Separated
If you were invested in Amber and Greg going the distance then you probably were not too thrilled to learn that they broke up only a few weeks after leaving the villa behind them – so it wasn't true love after all.

Individually though, things have been going pretty well for them. Greg has gone back to his career playing Rugby while Amber has become quite the name on social media, having become an influencer who has amassed over two million followers.
Jack Fincham and Dani Dyer – Season 4 (2018)
Relationship status: Separated
Ah, Jack and Dani – we thought they were meant to be but alas, the relationship did not last and Jack missed out on the golden opportunity of having Danny Dyer as a father-in-law. They did try to make it work, even living together and buying a puppy, but it fell apart after six months.
Since then, Jack has had a child named Blossom while Dani has been edging her way into the presenting world – and had a recent cameo in EastEnders alongside her dad where she played his cab driver. She is mum to a boy called Santiago and welcome twin daughters, Star and Summer, in May 2023.
Kem Cetinay and Amber Davies – Season 3 (2017)
Relationship status: Separated
Kem and Amber's relationship did not last long after they left the villa and they broke up around six months later. Professionally though, they are the most successful couple to emerge from the show. Kem has become a well-known face in the UK through his stints on shows like Dancing on Ice and he pops up semi-regularly as a guest on This Morning.
As for Amber, she has seen her star rise on the stage when she was cast in the musical 9 to 5. So while their love may not have gone the distance, they will certainly be pleased that they made the decision to join the show in 2017.
Cara De la Hoyde and Nathan Massey – Season 2 (2016)
Relationship status: Married
Cara and Nathan may have separated briefly not long after they won the show in 2016 but Cara discovered she was pregnant and the baby brought them back together. They named him Freddie and the addition of a child has seen them remain together to this day – well done, Freddie!
And they seem to be happier than ever now. They had their second baby, daughter Delilah, in July. It is nice to see that Love Island can see a couple stay together, even if it is a rarity.
Jessica Hayes and Max Morley – Season 1 (2015)
Relationship status: Separated
Jess and Max were the first winners of the revamped show in 2015 – there was a two-season celebrity version that aired first – and while it would be nice to say that the original winners were still together, sadly we can't as they split up a mere six weeks after leaving the villa behind them.
Since then, Max has got into travelling and has visited various places around the world, while Jess found love with Dan Lawry and they have gone onto have a child together, Presley. So while the pair did not stay together, at least they have both gone on to good things!
