Love Islandhas become one of the most successful dating shows in the world, but which duos from the original UK series are still in love?The show began as a celebrity dating series in 2005. The ratings weren’t great, and the show was canceled after two seasons. When the series was revived in 2015, without celebrities, it was a hit. Today, there have been over 90 seasons ofLove Islandworldwide.
Love Island USAdidn’t immediately garner a lot of enthusiasm, and CBS stopped airing the show after three seasons, so it was moved to Peacock.

The audience put Luca and Samie together as a couple, likely assuming that Luca would be more attracted to Samie than to Grace. After all, Samie has brown hair, just like Luca’s ex, Gemma Owen. However,Luca was attracted to Grace and her blonde hair, and the two recoupled together. This was a good move on Luca’s part, as he and Grace came in 2nd place on the dating show and have continued their relationship outside the villa.
Fans were wrong to assume Luca only liked brunettes.
Grace put Luca’s hair preferences to the test. Recently, she pranked her boyfriend by pretending to dye her hair brown, later posting the result on TikTok.Luca commented on the post, saying"Blondes over brunettes,“so we know he likes Grace just the way she is.
