Love Island S13: Which Couples Beat the Curse?
Love Island 2026: Which Couples Are Still Together?
Your simple guide to what happened after the villa doors closed
What Is Love Island Anyway?
Think of Love Island like a summer camp for grown-ups looking for love. A group of single people live together in a fancy villa (a big holiday house) for eight weeks. They couple up, go on dates, face challenges, and the public votes for their favorites. At the end, one couple wins a cash prize!
Season 13 (2026) just finished on August 5th, 2026. Let’s see who’s still together!
The Big Winners: Lorenzo & Julia
Who are they?
- Lorenzo Alessi – The charming Italian guy
- Julia Majchrzak – One of the "Casa girls" (new girls who joined halfway through)
Their Villa Journey
- They weren’t together the longest
- Julia helped Lorenzo open up and show his feelings
- They became "exclusive" (meaning they only date each other) just days before the final
- The public voted them WINNERS!
What’s Happening Now?
IMPORTANT UPDATE: Since leaving the villa, Lorenzo got in a little trouble for liking other models’ Instagram photos. Julia told Capital XTRA she felt "embarrassed". Lorenzo says he’s learning about boundaries in a relationship.
Status: Together, but working through some growing pains.

Runners-Up #2: Angelista (Angie) & Simba
Who are they?

Key Takeaways (Callout Box)
IMPORTANT POINTS TO REMEMBER:
- No couple became "boyfriend/girlfriend" inside the villa this year
- Lola & Sean are the first and only official couple so far (happened after the show)
- Social media behavior (like Lorenzo’s Instagram likes) can cause real relationship drama
- "Exclusive" ≠ "Boyfriend/Girlfriend" – it’s like a stepping stone
- Casa Amor is still the ultimate relationship test!
FAQ: Your Burning Questions Answered as a comment in the HTML content.Params
Q1: What does "exclusive" mean vs "boyfriend/girlfriend"?
A: Think of it like levels in a video game!
- Level 1 – Coupled up: You’re paired up in the villa
- Level 2 – Exclusive: You only date each other, but no fancy title yet
- Level 3 – Boyfriend/Girlfriend: Official title! You’ve met parents, use the labels publicly
Q2: Why didn’t anyone become official IN the villa?
A: The villa is a bubble – no phones, no outside world, 24/7 together. It’s intense! Most couples want to test things in the real world first (jobs, friends, family, distance) before slapping on a label. Smart!
Q3: What happened with Lorenzo’s Instagram likes?
A: After the show, Lorenzo liked photos of models on Instagram . Julia saw it and felt embarrassed/hurt . Lorenzo admitted he’s learning boundaries – meaning what’s okay/not okay in a public relationship. They’re talking it through!
Q4: What is "grafting"?
A: Grafting = working really hard to impress someone . Like when Simba had to prove himself to Angie after Casa Amor. It means: planning cute dates, being extra attentive, communicating well, showing you’re serious!
Q5: Are any other couples from Season 13 still together?
A: The article only covers the final four couples. Other couples from earlier in the season (who got "dumped" / voted off) aren’t mentioned here. But the final four are all still together! That’s actually pretty rare!
