First couples confirmed in Love Island 2023

Shaq Muhammed & Tanya Manhenga

The first couple of the Love Island 2023 series is Shaw andTanya.The pair have already confessed they have sexual chemistry and find it easy to talk to each other - could this go the distance?

Ron Hall & Lana Jenkins

Lana picked Ron in the original coupling because of his confidence and cockney charm. The pair have already hit it off after sharing their love for Harry Potter and cuddling.

Will Young & Olivia Hawkins

After sabotaging Anna-May’s coupling with Kai, Olivia found herself shocked when her new boy stepped forward for Tanyel. When Kai ditched her, she was forced to couple up with Will and it’s fair to say she’s already looking elsewhere.

Anna-May Robey & Haris Namani

Another second choice couple. After Olivia stole Kai away from Anna, the payroll administrator from Swansea chose 21-year-old Haris but Olivia may already have eyes on stealing Anna’s man yet again.

Kai Fagan & Tanyel Revan

Mr Popular was chosen by Tanyel after already coupling up with two other girls beforehand. The pair have broken the ice with a few conversations but Kai jokingly admitted things could change when she finds out how ‘boring’ he is.
