Last updated 18th Aug 2023
Now there's been a huge 10 series of ITV2 show Love Island, it's no real surprise there's been a number of crossovers with the Islanders' love lives. Although not all of them lasted, the likes of Luke Mabbott and Lucie Donlan, Kaz Crossley and Theo Campbell, and Max Morley and Laura Anderson all dated after appearing on different series!
Well, in recent days, eagle-eyed fans thought there was a new couple to add to the list, in the form of Winter Love Island star Claudia Fogarty, and 2022 Islander Jacques O'Neill.
As she celebrated her birthday earlier this week, Carl Fogarty's daughter fuelled romance rumours after she posted a picture of Jacques delivering a bunch of flowers to her, with the caption: 'You big softie 🤣🤍'.
However, after being inundated with messages following the post, Claudia was quick to clear up that the pair are not dating.
In her next story, she wrote: 'No guys we are definitely NOT dating just besties who decided to come matching today', before tagging Jacques in the post.
Check out all of the Love Island stars who've dated cast from other series:
Luke Mabbott and Lucie Donlan
In July 2020, Winter Love Island star Luke Mabbott and Love Island 2019 star Lucie Donlan announced they were dating! The pair grew close during lockdown and in July then enjoyed a lovely little UK getaway together!
Luke M's Love Island BFF Luke T told the Mail Online, "I was asking him about it for weeks but he just told me last weekend. He's been cool, I think they're well suited and I'm happy for them. Hopefully they last."
Well, the pair certainly have lasted! They continue to flood social media on the daily with cute snaps together, looking VERY loved-up.
Wes Nelson and Arabella Chi
Despite leaving the Love Island 2018 villa with Megan Barton-Hanson, the pair split in March 2019, with 2019 Islander Arabella Chi catching Wes' eye on the show.
When Arabella left the villa, the pair enjoyed a number of dates before going official in August 2019.
Although the pair moved in together, just nine months after they went official, reports suggested that Wes and Arabella had split in April 2020.
Kaz Crossley and Theo Campbell
Following Love Island 2018 star Kaz Crossley's split from fellow Islander Josh Denzel, Kaz started dating 2017 star Theo Campbell.
The couple made things official and later attended events together, enjoyed a number of holidays and looking very loved-up.
Kaz Crossley and Theo Campbell
In August 2019, Kaz proved her love for her man by flying out to Ibiza after Theo lost the sight in his right eye following an accident involving a champagne cork.
Admitting how 'proud' she was of his bravery following the accident, Kaz wrote, 'It's been a hard 24 hours no one here speaks English and he was taken for hours at one point and I had no clue he was in surgery again. I've stayed in his room over night and just want to take him home. He's so brave and positive hopefully it will get better thanks for your kind messages.'
However, in February 2021, Theo confirmed the pair have now split, admitting he got 'slinged'.
Michael Griffiths and Ellie Brown
Love Island 2019 star Michael Griffiths seemed to confirm he was dating 2018 Ellie Brown after the pair both appeared on Celebrity Ex On The Beach. The former fireman even called Ellie 'the one'.
However, just hours later, Ellie denied the reports, admitting they only posted the photo to promote the show.
Joanna Chimonides and Jack Fowler
After Joanna Chimonides was brutally dumped from the Love Island villa in 2019, fans of the show were left in shock when she was met at the airport by Love Island 2018 hunk Jack Fowler.

Joanna was quick to clear up the rumours, revealing she's been pals with Jack for a number of years.
Maybe a potential couple in the future then? 🙈
Max Morley and Laura Anderson
Although Max Morley won Love Island 2015 alongside Jessica Hayes, the pair split shortly after leaving the villa and Max more or less removed himself from the spotlight.
That was until he started dating Love Island 2018 star Laura Anderson, with the pair posting cute snaps together on Instagram.

Things all ended in sadness though! Just a few months after enjoying a holiday in Barbados, Laura and Max split amidst cheating fears, with Laura blocking her former beau on Instagram.
Laura went on to date Dane Bowers and Gary Lucy, and now she's a proud mum!
Kendall Rae-Knight and Kem Cetinay
Love Island 2017 winner Kem Cetinay and 2018 Islander Kendall Rae-Knight were spotted on a 'date' in 2021, with the pair even sharing a kiss!
However, speaking to heat on Love Island: Under the Duvet, Kendall revealed the pair were just friends, saying, "Aaaah, yeah, we're just friends."
Antigoni Buxton and Jack Fowler
Antigoni Buxton is in the Love Island 2022 villa now, but before entering she dated 2018 Islander Jack Fowler for a number of months.
Rumours surrounding Claudia's love life have been rife ever since she left the Love Island villa earlier this year, after taking part in the 2023 Winter series.
Despite many fans thinking she'd reconciled with co-star Casey O'Gorman following his split from Rosie Seabrook, the pair have denied they are dating and confirmed they are just really good friends.
Meanwhile, rugby player Jacques O'Neill has remained single since he chose to quit the 2022 series, after the breakdown of his romance with co-star Paige Thorne.
After Paige split from boyfriend Adam Collard not long after leaving the villa, the paramedic did confirm she'd been in contact with Jacques, but it seems the pair are also just friends.
