Love Island 2026 has officially crowned its winners, not before delivering a brutal twist for the finale. After months of jaw-dropping drama, shocking love triangles, sweet connections and juicy gossip, producers threw one last curve ball into the mix for the remaining Islanders.
The Final Twist
Following a savage public vote, Mica and Samraj were dumped from the show but given a departing task as they left the villa for good – to end another couple's journey right before the final. Both stars decided to boot out Yasmin and Tommy, leaving Jasmine and Kavan, Julia and Lorenzo, and Simba and Angelista in the final three.
Maya Jama announced on Monday 27 July 2026 that Julia Majchrzak, 26, and Lorenzo Alessi, 28, were crowned winners of Love Island series 13, taking home the £50,000 prize money and earning their status as the nation's favourite couple.
Winners' Reactions
A shocked Julia thanked the public for their support, saying: "I just didn't think coming into Casa I'd be stood here." The glamorous duo first met in Casa Amor and struck up a flirty connection almost instantly, steadily building their relationship when Lorenzo brought Julia back to the main villa.
The public fell head over heels for their genuine bond and consistently voted for them during challenges, hinting at their popularity on the outside. Speaking about his feelings, Lorenzo admitted he had "never met someone who feels so well matched" to him, and felt like he secretly "manifested" her all along.
A Strong Connection
Julia confessed that she experienced an "instant spark" with her tall, dark and handsome man, describing their relationship as "seriously unserious". Lorenzo was left speechless by the couple's shock win and couldn't help but laugh over the finale results.
The stunning pair beat series 13 runners-up Jasmine and Kavan to the top spot, while Angelista and Simba came third in the last dramatic episode of the season. The win marks a significant moment for Love Island, which has continued to captivate audiences with its mix of romance and drama.
Impact and Future
Julia and Lorenzo's victory has sparked widespread celebration among fans on social media, with many praising their authentic connection. The couple now joins the ranks of previous Love Island winners, and their journey from Casa Amor to champions serves as a testament to the show's enduring appeal. As the series concludes, ITV2 has confirmed the show's future, ensuring more seasons of sun-drenched romance are on the horizon.
