The Love Island 2024 finalists finished in second place
If there’s arguably one fairytale couple to come out of Love Island 2024 it’s Ciaran Davies and Nicole Samuel. Honestly, the film adaptation of this love story writes itself; ‘They lived 30 minutes from each other. They fell in love 1,200 miles away.’ There’s your tag line right there, Hollywood.
Totally stolen from Ciaran’s most recent grid post, but still…
After meeting the Love Island 2024 finalists at heat HQ, we have to say, it’s downright wild to think that these two didn’t even know each other ten weeks ago.

With that being said, we all know time moves differently in the Love Island villa; an eight-week long relationship is basically a silver jubilee IRL, so naturally, sat face to face with love’s young dream, we had to ask them about next steps.
We’ve already had the necklace (with seal of approval from one Joey Essex), what about a ring? Okay, maybe not a ring, but what about moving in?

We’ve heard the rumours, but has it really already happened?
Nicole exclusively told heat, “So, we have moved in together. Ciaran’s moved in to my home.”
Love’s. Young. Dream. We. Say.
Ciaran confirmed, “Yes, I’ve moved in to Nicole’s house.”
However… and it’s a big however; they have never actually lived in their new home together. Well, Nicole has…

Nicole explained, “Except we haven’t been home, we’ve been hotel hopping. We technically haven’t actually lived in the house yet because we’re still up in London and my home’s in Wales. So he has moved in, but we haven’t experienced living in our home.”
Because publications like us keep making you come to our office to spill dangerous amounts of Love Island tea. We get it.
Ciaran explained, “We’d spoken about moving in with each other, and I think it was about three or fours before we left for London that we thought, ‘might as well’, so yeah, I haven’t actually been there.”
Giggling, Nicole added, “Yeah, he lives there but he hasn’t actually been there.”

Aside from Ciaran’s very brief dalliance with Harriett Blackmore in the first few days of this series, OGs Ciaran and Nicole have been together from day dot, and watching their love story bloom has been like watching some sickeningly beautiful eight-week rom com movie.
One we’d add straight to our favourites on Netflix, FYI.
Let’s hope these gems live happily ever after.
