Dami Hope and Indiyah Polack have officially marked three years together, proving that lasting love can indeed blossom in the most unexpected of places, even under the intense spotlight of reality TV. The couple first met in 2022 on season eight of ITV’s Love Island, and their relationship has since grown from a summer romance into a serious and admired partnership.

Indiyah shared the news of their milestone anniversary in a series of Instagram stories, including a peek at the opulent flowers Dami had bought her, accompanied by a note saying: “Just wanted to steal a moment before the clock hits noon and remind you that, every day with you feels like the best kind of adventure. Thank you for filling my life with laughter, love, and all the fun in between. Here's to 3 years of endless memories and forever more, wifey x”

The pair were original contestants on the show, entering the villa on day one. While sparks didn’t immediately fly between them—Indiyah initially coupled with Ikenna Ekwonna and Dami with Amber Beckford—it wasn’t long before viewers began noticing their natural chemistry and effortless banter. As the weeks progressed, both Dami and Indiyah began to gravitate towards each other, culminating in a memorable and well-received recoupling that signalled the beginning of their romantic journey.

However, like most Love Island love stories, theirs wasn’t without drama. The infamous Casa Amor twist brought serious turbulence. During the temporary stay in the Casa vila, Dami explored a connection with new arrival Summer Botwe, while Indiyah got to know Deji Adeniyi. When the main villa and Casa Amor rejoined, Dami returned with Summer, and Indiyah walked in with Deji, resulting in one of the season’s most dramatic moments. Indiyah’s now-iconic line, “May the best heartbreaker win,” quickly went viral.

Despite the tension, both Dami and Indiyah managed to work through their issues, having had a series of heartfelt conversations, gradually rebuilding the trust that had been shaken during Casa Amor. Dami then took the next step on the day of their final date, shyly asking Indiyah to be his girlfriend. By the time the final episodes aired, the pair had won back the public’s support and finished the show as a strong couple, ultimately placing third.

Since then, the couple have moved from strength to strength. They’ve shared their relationship openly, frequently posting playful videos, fashion content, and joint brand deals. They’ve also spoken about their plans for the future, including marriage and starting a family someday. Both have carved out successful careers—Indiyah as a brand ambassador and presenter, and Dami in fashion and modelling—while continuing to support each other. Three years on, Dami and Indiyah’s journey from strangers in the Love Island villa to a real-life power couple stands as one of the franchise’s most enduring love stories.
