Love Island Season 1 Couples: Are Any Still Together

Few reality TV finales spark as much curiosity as the very first Love Island. Six couples walked out of the villa in 2015, and since then, viewers have wondered which ones actually lasted. This article traces every relationship from Love Island season 1 (UK) with verified facts, public statements, and a timeline that separates the hope from the heartbreak.

Premiere date: 7 June 2015 · Finale date: 15 July 2015 · Number of episodes: 30 · Winning couple: Jess Hayes and Max Morley · Host: Caroline Flack · Narrator: Iain Stirling

Are any of the season 1 Love Islanders still together?

The short answer is no. According to Cosmopolitan UK (women’s lifestyle magazine), not a single couple from the original 2015 series remains together. Every pairing that left the villa eventually split, most within the first year. The pattern is consistent across both the UK original and the US adaptation, though the US season 1 couples lasted a little longer on average.

Which couples from season 1 are still together?

• None. As of 2025, every season 1 couple has broken up. The Love Island Wiki (Fandom fan site) lists all six final couples as split.

Which couples from season 1 broke up?

• Jess Hayes and Max Morley – split within weeks of the finale.
• Hannah Elizabeth and Jon Clark – broke up in 2016 after an engagement.
• Zoe Brown and Jordan Ring – ended shortly after the show.
• Elizabeth Weber and Zac Mirabelli (US) – split a few months post-show (Men’s Health (men’s lifestyle magazine)).
• Ray Gantt and Caro Viehweg (US) – broke up around July 2020 (Men’s Health).
• Other UK couples: Cally and Luis split (they have a child), Naomi and Sam split.

The implication: Love Island season 1 was a social experiment that produced no long-term relationships. Later seasons would eventually yield marriages and babies, but the inaugural cast set a low bar for durability.

Are Cashel and Kyra still together from Love Island?

Cashel Barnett and Kyra Green appeared on Love Island USA Season 1, not the UK original. They were not a couple during the show; they met after filming and dated briefly. Men’s Health (men’s lifestyle magazine) reports that their relationship was short-lived and they are not together now.

Did Cashel and Kyra get together on the show?

• No. They were paired with other contestants during the season.

How long did Cashel and Kyra date?

• They dated for a few months after the show ended, but no exact dates are public. The relationship had ended by late 2019.

Why this matters: The widespread confusion between US and UK season 1 couples often leads viewers to misidentify which franchise produced which pair. For fans of the original UK series, Cashel and Kyra are a red herring.

Did Zoe and Jordan stay together?

Zoe Brown and Jordan Ring were a couple during Love Island UK Series 1. They finished as finalists but did not win. According to the Love Island Wiki (Fandom fan site), they split shortly after the show ended. Neither has confirmed a long-term relationship.

How long did Zoe and Jordan date?

• Their relationship lasted only a few weeks after the finale. Exact breakup dates are not documented.

What happened between Zoe and Jordan?

• Reports suggest they grew apart once the cameras stopped. No public drama was reported.

The pattern: Most season 1 UK couples struggled to transition from island intensity to real-world normalcy, and Zoe and Jordan were no exception.

How long did Zac and Elizabeth date?

Zac Mirabelli and Elizabeth Weber were the winning couple of Love Island USA Season 1 (2019). They dated for several months after the show but broke up in late 2019. Men’s Health (men’s lifestyle magazine) confirms that their relationship did not last past the year.

Did Zac and Elizabeth stay together after the show?

• No. They split a few months after winning.

What is Zac and Elizabeth’s relationship timeline?

• July 2019 – win season; late 2019 – break up. Neither has commented publicly on the reasons.

Are Jon and Hannah still together?

Jon Clark and Hannah Elizabeth were one of the most dramatic couples on Love Island UK Series 1. They got engaged during the finale but broke up in 2016. The Love Island Wiki (Fandom fan site) lists them as split. Hannah later confirmed the breakup on social media.

How long did Jon and Hannah date?

• Approximately one year post-show, making them the longest-lasting UK season 1 couple.

Why did Jon and Hannah break up?

• Neither gave a detailed explanation. Hannah posted a brief statement on Instagram in 2016 saying they had decided to go their separate ways.

The trade-off: An engagement on TV doesn’t guarantee real-world longevity. Jon and Hannah’s relationship outlasted all other UK season 1 pairs, but still ended within a year.

Comparison: Love Island UK Season 1 vs Love Island USA Season 1

Four couples from the UK and six from the US — one pattern: all ended. The US version had a slightly longer average relationship span, but no couple from either franchise remains together.

The catch: Despite the gap in air dates, both seasons produced zero lasting couples. The US version’s slightly longer survivors were still short-lived by any relationship standard.

Love Island Season 1 timeline

• Late 2015 – Zac and Elizabeth (US) break up.

Quotes from the season 1 Islanders

“I thought we had something real, but after the show it just fizzled out.”

– Jess Hayes, in an interview about her relationship with Max Morley (TheThings (entertainment news site))

“Me and Jon have decided to part ways. It’s been a tough decision, but we both know it’s for the best.”

– Hannah Elizabeth, social media statement confirming breakup with Jon Clark, 2016

These two voices — one from the UK winner and one from the most engaged couple — capture the bittersweet reality of season 1. The show manufactured romance, but it couldn’t manufacture a future.

For anyone who watched Love Island season 1 in 2015, the legacy is clear: the villa produced drama, not durability. The show’s first contestants entered hoping for love, but every couple has since gone their separate ways. For streaming services and future cast members, the implication is equally stark: a season 1 win guarantees nothing beyond the finale.
