Love Island alumni Uma Jammeh, 24, and Wil Anderson, also 24, are officially engaged, exactly a year after their romance began on the hit reality show. The news broke on Instagram when Uma posted stunning snaps showing off her three‑stone engagement ring, featuring a prominent pear‑shaped diamond, while donned in an elegant peridot green gown.

In her caption, she teasingly wrote:

“We’ve been sitting on a bad boy piece of information 💍.”

Shortly after, Wil playfully responded, quoting Beyoncé:

“I liked it, so I put a ring on it 🤪.”

He also shared a photo of the couple toasting with wine glasses, adding: “Cheers to that,” as they celebrated their future together.

Fans and fellow Islanders were quick to congratulate the couple. Love Island series 11 winner Mimii Ngulube exclaimed:

“CONGRATULATIONS OMG 🥺❤️❤️,”

While Ella Thomas added,

“Omgg congrats🥹❤️.”

Family reactions also poured in: Uma’s sister Peta shared her delight, writing;

“My baby sister is growing up before my very eyes… A new chapter begins, and I wish nothing but eternal love and happiness for the both of you!”

The lovebirds connected in the Love Island villa in June 2024. Uma, arriving as a bombshell, instantly felt a spark when Wil asked her on an overnight stay in the “other villa.” She later revealed,

“I instantly felt a connection… something clicked,” and Wil echoed that they “spoke about the future together quite a lot,” sharing glimpses of their inside jokes, like referring to each other as “blueberry” after sharing blueberries together.

Their relationship endured drama during Casa Amor, when Wil kissed another contestant, Lucy Graybill. The fallout was painful; Uma was heartbroken during Movie Night. Still, they reconciled, only for Wil to be dumped when Reuben became Uma’s recoupling choice. Undeterred, Uma immediately left with him, stating,

“I knew where my head and heart was at so I wanted to be true to my feelings for him.”

Since leaving the villa, the pair have taken significant steps, moving in together in London, welcoming an Italian greyhound puppy named Giovanni, and launching their successful careers. Uma now leads as Chief Gloss Officer for L’Oréal Paris’s Elvive haircare line on a six‑figure deal. Meanwhile, she’s also reportedly in discussion for a spot on BBC’s Celebrity MasterChef.

Uma and Wil are clearly keeping the momentum going. One year on from meeting in the villa, they’ve proven their relationship isn’t just surviving outside the show, it’s thriving on their own terms.

Congraulations to the happy couple!
