Love Island's Whitney Adebayo and Yamen Sanders have confirmed that they are still together, putting an end to fan worries that they had split three months after leaving the All Stars villa. The couple met on this year's series of the popular spin-off show, which sees former islanders try to find love for a second time.
From All Stars to Long Distance
Whitney, 28, who starred in Series 10, and Yamen, 31, who rose to fame on the first season of Love Island USA in 2019, made it all the way to the final and placed fifth on Love Island All Stars 2026. After leaving the villa in Franschhoek, South Africa, the pair embarked on a long-distance relationship, with Whitney based in the UK and Yamen in America.
Recently, fans grew concerned that the pair had gone their separate ways after noticing several signs, including a lack of posts featuring each other on social media and cryptic messages. However, Whitney and Yamen have well and truly shut down those rumours by sharing some sizzling snaps together on Instagram.
Social Media Reassurance
In one of the photos, Whitney looked stunning in a bright pink bodycon dress as Yamen hugged her from behind. Another showed the pair about to lock lips while in a car, and yet another captured Yamen holding a huge bouquet of roses. Whitney captioned the post: 'Still my favorite type of drama.' Yamen wrote in the comments: 'Still here.'
Plenty of others rushed to the comments section to share their love, including numerous Love Island alumni. Their All Stars co-star Millie Court wrote: 'Okurrrrr.' Catherine Agbaje said: 'Awwww.' Shaq Muhammad added: 'YES SIRRRR.' Tanya Manhenga commented: 'Chaiiiiii.' Belle Hassan added some love heart eye emojis.
Love Island Series 12 Coming Soon
Fans don't have long to wait until Love Island is back on their screens. The 12th series will air on ITV2 from 9:00 pm on June 1. Earlier this week, the line-up was revealed, featuring a detective, a hunky primary school teacher, and an Arsenal footballer's ex, all heading into the Mallorcan villa in search of romance.
The villa has been unveiled, and it is filled with designer goods and more beds than ever before, making room for more bombshells to shake things up. Islanders are excitedly waiting in the wings to enter the multi-million-pound villa, where they will be filmed for the next eight weeks and live in very close quarters, which is sure to cause tension among the new singletons.
Inside the New Villa
The villa is located in the middle of nowhere, with single-track roads leading up to the front gate, which is guarded by security to keep trespassers out. Upon arrival, the islanders will stride along a wooden walkway through a giant chrome heart to enter their new home, where they will have access to an array of designer clothes and their choice of double bed, which will be shared on the first night with their new partner.
Speaking to the Daily Mail from the Mallorca villa, producers Amanda Stavri and Lewis Evans said: 'There are more beds, and with more beds comes more bombshells!' If contestants hit it off and are looking for some alone time away from their fellow islanders—but still very much on camera—to spice up their romance, they can head to the glamorous hideaway. It has been given a fresh makeover, with baby pink and teal walls, gold accessories, and its own outdoor terrace with a sexy swing and plunge pool, perfect for romantic dates.
TV producers will fill the hideaway wardrobes with sex toys and lingerie, guaranteeing saucy action beneath the sheets. Love Island has collaborated with eBay again as the series sponsor to fight against fast fashion and provide the contestants with pre-loved clothing. Inside the bright blue dressing room is an impressive wardrobe, with Prada, Dior, and Louis Vuitton handbags, as well as stylish heels and trainers. This leads to their beautifying boudoir, where islanders get glam with the help of luxury hairdryers and an endless supply of makeup products.
Elsewhere, the garden has received quite the makeover, with the famous fire pit painted blue for the new series. The rest of the islanders' summer home follows a pink and green theme, with the kitchen and lounging area ready to go.
