Several Love Island contestants admitted to dating celebrities during during the latest episode of the ITV2 show
The Love Island 2026 cast have revealed details about their famous romantic encounters but kept tight-lipped when it came to naming their celebrity exes.
ITV audiences have been captivated by Season 13 of the dating show since 1st June, when 12 eager Islanders made their villa debut. The programme has subsequently brought in numerous new bombshells and even sent home several viewer favourites.
In its most recent dramatic development, the series took a scandalous direction as the villa participated in a round of Never Have I Ever.
The game featured risqué questions including whether contestants had ever been attracted to another Islander outside their current pairing. Anyone guilty of the behaviour would then take a sip of their beverage and reveal their tale.
The challenge became particularly fascinating when one query posed: “Never have I ever dated a celebrity,” reports OK!. Jasmine, Angelista, Sean, Mica and Priya all had a drink, yet they refused to reveal identities.
So who precisely are the Love Island contestants’ famous former flames?
Jasmine Muller and Hector Bellerin
Supporters probably already knew that Jasmine had been romantically involved with former Arsenal player Hector Bellerin before she even entered the villa.
The 27-year-old entrepreneur was in a serious relationship with the Spanish footballer and maintains she is “very private about it”.
While the precise duration of their romance remains unclear, the pair posted affectionate photographs online during 2021. Despite keeping the personal details private, Jasmine maintains they concluded their relationship on “really good terms”.
Hector, 31, began his youth career at Barcelona before transferring to Arsenal in 2011. He currently represents La Liga club Real Betis.
Sean ‘Fitzy’ Fitzgerald and Helen Galgey
Fan favourite lad Fitzy disclosed that he previously dated a singer, but didn’t reveal her identity. He was referring to radio host and performer Helen Galgey.
She posted a cheeky social media video when Fitzy first joined the show, captioning it on Instagram: “Solidarity with all my sisters finding out their ex is on Love Island today.”
The Irish influencer has also spoken warmly about her former flame. “I think Fitzy is so good, like the first episode I was like, ‘do something, do something’, but now I think he’s actually playing it smart,” she informed her followers.
Helen further commented: “He’s lovely looking, and he doesn’t need to be doing all that, which I’m kind of glad. So it’s kind of cool that he’s just being chilled and laid back and, like, letting them come to him, so it’s he’s a full match.”
Priya Jaswal and Ty Browning
Priya’s admission has ignited an internet-wide probe. She confessed that she dated a footballer but wasn’t certain what level he competes at.
However, the Islander provided one significant hint, stating: “I don’t know, he played in Shanghai. No, he was from Manchester.”
Fans directed suspicion towards several football stars, including Tyias Browning. The 32-year-old defender plays for Chinese Super League club Shanghai Port, but he originates from Liverpool not Manchester.
Mica Harris and NFL stars
Mica has had relationships with NFL and football stars, but fans are utterly baffled as to their identities. Some internet sleuths have suggested she previously dated Jobe Bellingham, the younger brother of Jude Bellingham.
However, this theory hinges on the fact that Jobe once liked one of Mica’s Instagram posts, which hardly constitutes concrete evidence.
Angelista Gunda and Premier League star
Angelista also revealed that she has been involved with players from both the Premier and Championship Leagues, but fans have been unsuccessful in deciphering their identities.
Love Island airs Sundays to Fridays at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX
