But, are Harry and Shakira still together is the thing many of us want to know…. Especially after former contestant Montana Brown put out that video claiming he was seeing her friend just before the show…

Are Love Island’s Shakira and Harry still together?
Yes, they are.
The duo left the show together, although Shakira made it clear that they won’t be rushing to become exclusive and will be taking things slow.
Harry did say that he thinks Shakira’s mum would give him a hug now after their awkward meeting. Baby steps, I guess!

The pair were both part of the starting line-up, however, didn’t couple up until the second day. Shakira was originally in a couple with Ben, but he was stolen by Toni, who ended up becoming Shakira’s bestie in the villa.
Shakira was given 24 hours to get her graft on and turn the boys’ heads, with Maya returning to see which boys thought they had a better connection with her. Both Blu and Harry stood up, and Shakira chose Harry, dumping Sophie from the villa.
Things seemed to be going well between the couple, that is until Helena revealed that she still wanted to get to know Harry. Cue, the duo sneaking off to the Hideaway in the middle of the night.
