After months of eagerly waiting for the new season of Love Island to drop, it’s finally here and we are soo ready to see how the cast crack on with their new love interests.

Season 12 kicked off on Monday 9th June and the show’s producers certainly wasted no time jumping straight into the theatrics as they introduced a surprise new method for the first coupling.

The new matchmaking process meant that island babes had to choose their new partners based on a ‘bio’ the boys had written for themselves, rather than the usual first impressions or public vote.

Throughout the season they'll be many bombshells, brutal dumpings and romantic recouplings which can be hard to keep up with. So here's a full rundown of who's in a couple now and how each recoupling played out.

Who's coupled up on Love Island 2025?

What were the Love Island couples after the third recoupling?

It was the girls time to choose in this recoupling after bombshells Remell and Shea had arrived. Here's who ended up together:

After American bombshell Toni stole Ben off of Shakira, Shakira had to graft the boys in the hopes that she'd find a connection with one of them and not be sent home single.

Shakria ended up making three connections as Harry, Blu and Conor all stood up for the chance to recouple with her. The Burnley lass was then left with the tough decision of who to pick because her choice meant whatever girl they were coupled up with would be dumped from the island.

After a long debate, and some encouraging words from Maya Jama, Shakira chose Harry which meant Sophie was dumped from the island.

What were the Love Island couples after the second recoupling?

These were all the couples that emerged from Shakira's brutal decision:

  • Helena Ford and Conor Phillips
  • Shakira Khan and Harry Cooksley
  • Meg Moore and Dejon Noel-Williams
  • Megan Forte Clarke and Tommy Bradley
  • Alima Gagio and Blu Chegini
  • Toni Laites and Ben Holbrough

It’s safe to say the new coupling method certainly threw the Love Island cast into chaos during the season’s first episode, as they were essentially made to 'blindly' choose their first partner.

Each girl was shown a dating profile placard for each of the guys in the villa, which only revealed their name, age, job, height and a tagline they had come up with for themselves. Based on this info they then had to pick who they wanted to be matched with.
