Em and Mercedes journey on Love Island Australia

Em was coupled up with Taylor Reid for the first part of Love Island Australia 2024, but when Mercedes entered the villa she had her eye on him.

Around the same time, Hannah Steinfeld started pursuing Taylor, which gave Mercedes and Em the green light to get together.

Things went from strength to strength for Mercedes and Em, and they became boyfriend and girlfriend during the finale week.
