Toni and Cach Win Love Island 2025

Toni and Cach emerged as the champions of this year's Love Island series, beating Harry and Shakira in the final on Monday. They secured the £50,000 prize money.

Toni, the first American contestant on UK Love Island, and Cach are determined to maintain their relationship despite the distance between them.

Angel and Ty finished fourth due to receiving the fewest public votes, while Yasmin and Jamie claimed the third spot.

Toni and Cach initially faced challenges, including a love triangle involving Harrison. However, after Harrison left the villa with Lauren, Toni and Cach's relationship flourished.

The bookies had favored Harry and Shakira to win, but Toni and Cach's victory surprised many. Fans congratulated the couple on social media, expressing their joy at the outcome.

The Love Island finalists, including Shakira and Harry, had eventful journeys in the villa, with Harry's wandering eye causing tensions. Despite initial couplings, Harry's changing affections led to drama and shifts in relationships.

Angel, a late addition to the series, quickly connected with Ty, overcoming attempts by others to interfere. Meg and Dejon were the latest couple to exit the villa, with Dejon reflecting on his behavior and acknowledging the impact of his actions.

Dejon admitted to flirting with other islanders despite his feelings for Meg, prompting discussions about toxic behavior on the show. He expressed regret for his actions and acknowledged Meg's support throughout their tumultuous time on the series.

The Love Island series has sparked conversations about relationships and behavior, with viewers and experts weighing in on the dynamics within the villa.
