Love Island, the UK’s most successful dating show, has produced a baby boom among its alumni.
Last week, series five contestants Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury welcomed their daughter Bambi, making her the eighth child to be born to couples who met on the show.
This is a stark contrast to the three babies born to couples who met on rival show “Take Me Out.”
Molly-Mae and Tommy, both 23, met on the 2019 series of Love Island and shared the exciting news of Bambi’s birth on their social media accounts.
In a heartfelt post, Molly-Mae wrote, “Becoming your mum has been one of the best things to ever happen to me… it doesn’t seem possible but my love for you grows with each passing moment.” Tommy, meanwhile, vowed to protect Bambi forever.
Another Love Island couple who have started a family are Alex and Olivia Bowen.
The duo, who first found fame on the 2016 series of the show, welcomed son Abel last year.
Cara De La Hoyde and Nathan Massey, winners of the 2016 series, are also proud parents of two children – Freddie and Delilah.
Jess Shears and Dom Lever, who met on the 2017 series, have two sons, while Camilla Thurlow and Jamie Jewitt welcomed their second child, Nora Belle Jewitt, in May.
However, becoming a parent hasn’t been the only outcome for Love Island couples.
Jess and Dom tied the knot just a year after their stint on the show, while Cara and Nathan got married in June 2019.
Camilla and Jamie, who met in the 2017 series, tied the knot in a romantic ceremony in 2021.
Several other Love Island alumni have also expanded their families, such as Amy Hart, Shaughna Phillips, and Dani Dyer.
Others, such as Malin Andersson, Hannah Elizabeth, Marcel Sommerville, and Jack Fincham, have already seen their families grow.
So many Island babies!
