Love Island 2026 has crowned its winners, with Lorenzo Alessi and Julia Majchrzak taking the title after weeks of romance, drama and villa chaos.
The couple were announced as this year’s champions during Monday night’s live final (July 27), beating the other remaining pairs after viewers cast their votes. Host Maya Jama returned to the villa for one final time as the Islanders celebrated their journeys before the emotional winner reveal.
The couple were left stunned as they were told they had won the public vote, marking the end of their Love Island experience and securing their place in the show’s history books.
The winning couple were up against two other remaining couples Jasmine Muller and Cavan Murphy and Angie and Simba, who came in second and third place respectively. After being crowned champions, Julia said: “Can I just say, thank you to everyone,” as Lorenzo continued to laugh.
When Maya asked the couple what they wanted to do with the £50k prize fund, Lorenzo didn’t know, but Julia said “I want him to move in with me,” which shocked the crowd.
The final episode saw the Islanders reflect on their time in the villa, including their biggest highs, emotional moments and the relationships that developed during the series.
The pair quickly became one of the couples viewers were invested in, with fans following their journey from their first connection through to the final.
Their victory means they now join previous Love Island winners who have gone on to secure huge opportunities after leaving the show, including brand deals, TV appearances and major social media followings.
The live final also featured emotional messages from friends and family, as the finalists celebrated making it to the last episode of the series.
Maya Jama congratulated the couple as they lifted the famous Love Island trophy, officially becoming the latest pair to win the ITV2 dating show.
As they prepare to leave the villa behind, fans will now be watching closely to see what comes next for the newest Love Island champions.
