Love Island 2024 is over for another year, with this year's Islanders returning to the real world in strong and happy couples. With Mimii and Josh named this summer's winners, Ciaran and Nicole came in as runners up. But where is their relationship now? Here's a deep dive into how they're getting on right now.
What happened between Nicole and Ciaran in Love Island 2024?
Nicole Samuel and Ciaran Davies were both original Islanders on this year's Love Island. While he was initially coupled up with Harriet, and Nicole was coupled up with Sean, the pair were quickly drawn to each other, bonding over their Welsh roots.
While they were in the villa, the pair continued to couple up, making it successfully through Casa Amor without exploring other connections. They eventually said 'I love you' while in the villa, with Ciaran also asking Nicole to be his girlfriend.
Nicole said she was "so madly in love" with Ciaran in the final declarations, adding that she "loves everything about you." The pair were named runners up in the Love Island final, coming second ahead of Sean and Matilda, and Ayo and Jess. But where is their relationship now?
Are Ciaran and Nicole still together now?
After leaving the Love Island villa at the end of July, Ciaran and Nicole have gone from strength to strength. The pair revealed in a TikTok video that they had already moved in together, with Ciaran adding on Instagram, "This has been the greatest experience of my life. I have made the best of friends, and get to continue my journey back home with the Mrs... I will forever be grateful for what @loveisland has done for me."
Nicole added in her own Instagram caption, "This chapter in my life has been the best one yet, meeting best friends for life in every boy and girl that walked through the door to finding true love that I never thought existed❤️
"Now, I am so excited for the future, doing life with Ciaran and the plenty of dog walks we will be taking Bonnie on😙 From beginning to end, it was always him."
So excited to see where this goes for these two.
