Julia Majchrzak and Lorenzo Alessi have been crowned the winners of Love Island UK 2026.

The pair beat runners-up Jasmine Muller and Kavan Murphy, and Angelista Gunda and Simba Kudyiwa, who came in third, to take home the £50,000 prize.

A shocked Julia thanked all those who had voted for them, saying: “I just didn’t think coming into Casa [Amor] I’d be stood here.”

When host Maya Jama asked what they would spend the money on, Julia revealed she wanted Lorenzo, who appeared too stunned to speak, to move in with her after leaving the villa.

Talking to Maya ahead of the reveal during the live final, 28-year-old Lorenzo said he had “never met someone who feels so well matched to me” when reflecting on his relationship with Julia.

Business owner Lorenzo, who entered the villa on day one, said he felt like he “manifested” meeting Julia, 26, in Casa Amor, the alternate villa where relationships are tested by new arrivals.

Julia said she felt an “instant spark” when meeting Lorenzo and described their relationship as “seriously unserious”.
