Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu speaks out about rumours she and Davide Sanclimenti are faking their relationship

All is good for Ekinde.

Love Island winner Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu has shut down claims that she "fakes her relationship” with Davide Sanclimenti after another islander suggested one couple did. After winning the 2022 series together, the pair have gone on to be hugely successful with both signing onto fashion deals as well as landing their own travel series with ITV - and not to mention Ekin-Su appearing on Dancing on Ice. But despite those things, Ekin-Su has had to shut down rumours that she and Davide are "faking" their relationship after former islander Paige Thorne suggested that one of the remaining couples from their series is not really together.

Speaking to Metro.co.uk, the Turkish actress said: “Apparently I fake my relationship.

“It doesn’t bother me. I laugh at the negative comments.

“We’re moving in together pretty soon. We don’t need to prove to the world that we’re in love. We really don’t.”

Paige Thorne appeared on the Saving Grace podcast and claimed that one of the couples have broken up but not said anything, despite each couple appearing to confirm things are very much okay. Since the series ended, Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Davide Sanclimenti, Gemma Owen and Luca Bish, Tasha Ghouri and Andrew Le Page and Dami Hope and Indiyah Polack are all still together. Revealing on the podcast, she told host Grace that all may not be what it seems when it comes to the remaining islanders and one couple has secretly gone their separate ways. Grace asked the paramedic a game of ‘Say It Or Shot It’: "Who is the fakest couple to come out of Love Island this year?” Paige replied: “All I’m going to say on this is… There are how many couples left, three? Really there’s only two. But that’s a secret I’ll never tell.” While Paige may have miscounted the amount of couples left, it seems that only one has split but she kept her mouth shut on who it was.
