It has been a massive season of breakups, friendship, egg-eating, and lust on Love Island Australia 2024, but has all come to an end as the winners of season six are crowned.
The grand finale aired Monday night, with host Sophie Monk creating suspense as she slowly revealed which couple would be walking away with bragging rights and $50,000 in prize money.
The final three couples included Mia and Niko; Em and Mercedes; and lastly, Kaylah and Eric.
“Three incredible couples but only one can win,” Sophie teased.
By popular vote, the winner of Love Island Australia 2024 were Em and Mercedes.
“It feels amazing!” Em said following their victory. “We just feel so grateful to even be here and spend the last couple of weeks in the Villa with the most amazing people.”
It has been a long journey for Em, who entered the villa as an original Islander. She started out in a friendship couple with Indigo after discovering their differing interests.
Em then entered a couple with Taylor, who were a huge success in the beginning and became one of the strongest couples in the villa. But it rapidly came crashing down.
To the rescue was Mercedes, one of the last few Bombshells to enter the villa. Initially he was paired up with Sophie, who was still interested in Dylan.
Given their countless similarities, it was only a matter of time until Mereces and Em became a couple.
They share the same thirst for travel and thrifted fashion, but it was their shared zest for life that bonded the pair.
“When we connected my Love Island journey started,” Mercedes shared during the finale.
So, the question on every fans lips is: are Em and Mercedes still together?
Presumably yes, but the pair have not made a public statement regarding their relationship since the finale aired. But watch this space for all the details.
