Stephane ‘Steph’ Blackos is one of the Islanders on this season of Love Island Australia 2024, but this isn’t his first rodeo.
The 25-year-old has been on Love Island France and Love Island Games. For this year, Steph will be participating on Love Island Australia as a “Love Island god” with fellow contestant Sydney Paight from the US.
This is a world-first twist where they can use their powers for good or evil. Colour us intrigued!
But there is lots more to know about Steph. Here is all the tea on Steph before you tune into Love Island Australia 2024 later this month.

Before he was modelling for ASOS and JD, he was a professional basketball player in France.

Steph’s full Love Island history
During the second second of Love Island France, he came in on day 17 and was dumped on day 28. He only spent 11 days in the villa for Love Island France.
Steph also competed in Love Island Games and was the first one to be eliminated in the series.
Love Island Games is a spin-off to the original Love Island franchise in the UK where contestants from all over the world compete in a series of challenges.
Commenting on his elimination he told Swooon, “I’m a winner, so I hate losing. And I didn’t have a hand on this competition, you know what I mean? I was eliminated because I was vulnerable, so the people in the villa decided to kick me out.”
During Steph’s stint in Love Island Games he got together with former Australian Islander Jessica Losurdo, but the pair never pursued their relationship outside the show.
We can’t wait to see what Steph gets up to in the Love Island Australia villa.
Love Island Australia 2024 will air on October 28 on 9Now.
