Love Island Australia is known for its laughs, tears, and breakups but is it possible that a true connection can be formed and survive the outside world?
The answer is yes as Love Island 2024 Bombshells Eric Garcia and Kaylah Holmes confirm they are still in a relationship outside of the villa.
Following the 2024 finale, Kaylah and Eric are the only couple from the villa remaining – yikes! In fact, they’ve been side by side since their exit.
“We’re together every day, all day,” Eric told 9Entertainment.
“We work together in the gym, then we live together as well. We have not left each other’s side, and it just keeps getting better and better,” Kaylah added.
So, with their love only growing everyday, its only natural the pair have said those three little words, ‘I love you.’ But what is surprising, is they didn’t wait very long to say it.
“I said it first when we came out of the Villa and stayed in a hotel,” Eric said. “People have different views on it, people may wait a little longer which is fair enough, but I think when you know, you know.”
Kaylah and Eric’s relationship doesn’t come as a complete surprise to fans. While the reality series was still airing on Channel Nine, the blonde Bombshell didn’t shiy away from revealing the connection she’s found in the villa had lasted in the real world.
“I’m with my partner that I met in the villa, still currently. We are loved up, and it’s such a vibe. We’re here together tonight,” Kaylah confessed during an interview at a WhiteFox event in November.
Also in attendance at the event was 2023 Islander Nate Page – who is still in a relationship with his Love Island partner, Georgia. He shared a picture to Instagram with some of the other 2024 contestants, including Kaylah and Eric standing side-by-side.
It wasn’t an easy journey for the 22-year-old fitness coach. After discovering their mutual love for the gym, she found a swift romantic connection with Zane – until he began having doubts and momentarily explored a connection with Sophie.
The Love Island gods heard Kaylah’s prayers for a tall, muscular man and gifted her Bombshell Eric.
Eric, born in Argentina, currently lives the van-life in Manly following a break up with his fiancée in January. He was a police officer until 2023 when he decided to pivot back to the fitness industry.
While it is still early days, there is no denying Eric and Hannah two are a match made in Love Island heaven!
