Over the years, we’ve seen countless couples fall in love in the Love Island Australia villa, so we thought we’d take a trip down memory lane to see where all the winners are now.
Some have stayed together post-villa while others have unfortunately broken up.
Here is everything you need to know about the previous Love Island Australia winners.
Season 1 winners: Grant Crapp and Tayla Damir
The first season of Love Island Australia saw Grant Crapp and Tayla Damir as the inaugural winners. When the cameras stopped filming, the drama didn’t stop.
News emerged that Grant had a secret girlfriend on the side the entire time, named Lucy Cartwright. Grant and Lucy are still in love and they have two children together.
Tayla found out about the secret relationship after doing some digging, according to Now to Love.
“He said they were dating, and that she knew he was going on the show and that he was going on there to promote his business and that he’d be there when he got out,” Tayla told the publication.
But don’t worry—Tayla hasn’t missed out on love; in fact, she’s happily married! She tied the knot with AFL player Nathan Broad, and they have a one-year-old daughter, Sammy.
Season 2 winners: Anna McEvoy and Josh Packham
The winners from Season 2 of Love Island Australia, which aired in 2019, were Anna McEvoy and Josh Packham. They didn’t break up straight after the season ended though; they lived together briefly before breaking up in 2020.
In a post-split interview with 9Now in 2020, Josh said the couple had been “struggling for quite a while”.
Anna is now married to Michael Staples and they have a tanning business together, Goldee Bee. Anna is also a co-host of the Where’s Your Head At podcast with fellow Love Island castmate Matt Zukowski.
Josh is currently single but is no stranger to reality TV. He appeared on The Block: Fans vs Faves in 2021 with his twin brother, Luke Packham. He is an influencer and model and also has his own turf company, JL Turf. Josh lives in Sydney’s southern suburbs.
Season 3 winners: Mitch Hibberd and Tina Provis
Love Island Australia Season 3 winners Mitch Hibberd and Tina Provis are not together anymore. They announced their breakup just over a month after the Love Island Australia 2021 finale aired.
Mitch is currently single and was a professional AFL player before joining the cast of Love Island. Nowadays he is a fitness influencer and loves posting about his overseas adventures. He is also available on Cameo.
As for Tina, she is also single but living her best life. She is also an influencer who posts vlogs on YouTube, Instagram, and, TikTok. Tina is also available for Cameos!
She’s also friends with Tyra Johannes from season 6 of Love Island!
However, their love story didn’t end during Season 3.
Mitch and Tina came back as bombshells for Season 4 where they rekindled their love. They broke up after that season.
They appeared on Love Island Games together in 2023 but did not get together during filming.
Season 4 winners: Austen Bugeja and Claudia Bonifazio
Love Island Australia Season 4 winners Austen Bugeja and Claudia Bonifazio are very much still in love!
Both ex-Islanders are influencers, and Austen is about to launch his own clothing line, Mírame. They live together in Sydney.
Season 5 winners: Tyra Johannes and Kale Roberts
Tyra and Kale Roberts were named as the winners for the fifth season of the reality dating show.
Tyra is an influencer and Kale is a model. They live together on the Gold Coast. The couple recently adopted a new puppy named Cali and she is very cute!
Season 6 winners: Em and Mercedes
Em Miguel Leigh and Mercedes Knox are the 2024 winners for Love Island Australia Season 6. But, a day after the couple were announced they were crowned, they revealed that they had unfortunately broken up.
After they exited the villa triumphant, Mercedes moved back to his home country and he and Em had a few miscommunications which ultimately led to their break up.
“I think I got home on Tuesday, and on Saturday, we agreed to take space. But I feel like the way Mercedes communicated that was a little lost in translation for me,” she told Nine.
“His intention, he said later on, with taking space was that we would come back together. But I got that message and I was like, ‘We’re done’.”
Congrats to Em and Mercedes, we guess!
