Love Island's Anton Danyluk and Shaughna Phillips have coupled up
Is another cross-series romance on the cards?
The Love Island lot certainly don't mind a bit of cross-series romance! Lucie Donlan and Luke Mabbott started dating last year, Wes Nelson and Arabella Chi hooked up, and Max Morley and Laura Anderson gave it a go!
And that latest pair to 'couple up'? It's only Anton Danyluk and Shaughna Phillips!
Yep, 2019 Islander Anton's now teased a potential romance with 2020 alumni Shaughna as they (quite controversially) live it up in Dubai.
As the pair avoid UK lockdown and get some sun over on The Palm, Anton teased followers with a sneaky vid claiming he'd 'like to couple up' with Shaughna; following his split from ex-girlfriend Belle Hassan and Shaughna's recent Celebs Go Dating stint.
Fans were divided over the potential new couple, though. While one commented, 'Honestly was hoping it would be Paige. Her and Finn are perfect but Anton and Paige remind me so much of each other I think they would be best friends,' another said, 'My 2 Favs❤️❤️'.
Check out which Love Island stars dated 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.
However, fast forward to August 2024, and Joanna and Jack were spotted looking very cosy on a boat trip in Italy. The pair are yet to confirm if they are dating.
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.
Max Morley and Laura Anderson
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.
This all comes after Shaughna recently fuelled rumours she's had a secret boyfriend of two years, even while appearing on Love Island.
Posting a snap, Shaughna masked a mysterious male's face as she said, 'Starting 2021 with the same people I started 2020 with, and feeling very lucky ❤️.'
Fans were quick to question her relationship status. 'Confused how she can have a boyfriend of two years what with Celebs Go Dating and Love Island', commented one, while another asked, 'Boyfriend of 2 years? Weren’t you on Celebs Go Dating recently?'.
Shaughna responded, 'If you had the ability to potentially change your mum’s/parents’ life, would you? For me, personally, being able to help my mum in anything she financially would need outweighed ANY other scenario.
'That’s the relationship that means everything to me, and I would do anything to give her the life she deserves. We may not agree, but I hope you understand my decisions.'
Very interesting indeed.
