Ellie Chadwick and Finley Maddock, who met on Love Island series 13, are still together. Despite initial doubts from fans, the couple has hit several relationship milestones since leaving the villa, including Ellie's decision to relocate from Scotland to London to be closer to Finley.
From Villa to Real World
Ellie, a Scottish reality star, fell for Finley when he entered the villa as a bombshell halfway through the series. His blue eyes and Welsh charm won her over, and she confessed to being in her 'soft girl era' after meeting 'her man'. Their journey had its ups and downs, including Finley flirting in Casa Amor and kissing newcomer Elicia Bailey, but they eventually left the villa together after Finley was dumped in a shock twist, prompting Ellie to quit the show for love.
Since leaving, the pair have been proving doubters wrong. Ellie confirmed she is moving to London, a decision they made to nurture their relationship. On the Not My Bagg podcast, Finley explained their reasoning: "We had a discussion, it’s pointless getting to know someone for however many weeks we did if you’re not going to come to an agreement on where you live." He added, "So, we made an agreement and… she’s coming to London." Ellie echoed this, saying, "I'm moving first to London. I don’t know exactly when, but that is the case."
Relationship Status: Complicated
Despite their commitment, the couple has been vague about their official status. When asked on Snapchat if they were "official yet" in late August, Finley gave a confusing answer: "We’re not official yet. We’re official, but we’re not officially official." Ellie added, "Yeah, but no, technically. Is the right answer. We’re off the market. That’s it."
Following this ambiguous response, Ellie issued an ultimatum, giving Finley two weeks to ask her to be his girlfriend. The couple continues to share their life on social media, with Ellie spending most of her time in London with Finley and her favorite co-star Yasmin Hadlow. Finley has also visited Scotland to meet Ellie's family.
What's Next for the Couple?
Fans are watching closely to see if Finley will meet Ellie's deadline and make their relationship official. The couple's next steps will determine whether they solidify their status or remain in a situationship. Their story remains one of the most followed from the Love Island 2026 season, with many hoping for a happy ending.
