JACQUES from Love Island has finally settled down… or has he?

There’s a confusing new photograph making the rounds on social media that makes it look like former Love Island star Jacques O’Neill has settled down.

Seen in the glamorous snap with a beautiful woman, Jacques – who shot to fame on the dating show in 2022 – can be seen wearing a smart tuxedo and bowtie.

Smiling and looking down while walking down some steps beside a woman dressed in a wedding dress, Jacques looks as though he’s just tied the knot.

Holding hands with the beautiful brunette and making his way down some stairs in front of Owston Hall Hotel, Jacques looked suave and smitten as the bride beside him beamed.

But the confusing snap wasn’t actually from the former Love Island star’s wedding day, instead, it was from a modelling job.

Back in July of this year, we reported that Jacques was dating model and influencer Ellie O’Donnell.

“Jacques and Ellie are really good match and love spending time together,” a source spilled at the time.

“They recently went on a romantic trip together, which made them even more smitten than before and they are now thinking about moving in together.”

Jacques, who is a professional rugby league player, shot to fame when he entered the Love Island villa on day seven of the 2022 series.

When the hunk entered the villa, he turned heads when he was introduced as Gemma Owens’ former flame.

OLD FLAME IN THE VILLA

Fans thought that Gemma and Jacques might have rekindled their romance, but the rugby player soon developed feelings for Welsh paramedic Paige Thorne.

During their time in the villa, Jacques and Paige had their ups and downs, but the end came when she found out about what he got up to in Casa Amor.

When Paige found out what happened in Casa, the Welsh beauty got to know bombshell Adam Collard before recoupling with him.

Jacques decided to depart the show when Paige and Adam coupled up.

The rugby hunk later admitted he struggled to “be myself” while struggling with his mental health and ADHD.

Love Island All Stars 2025 rumours

Love Island All Stars will be back for its second series in 2025 – and rumours are already rife as to who will be making a comeback this time around.

After the second All Stars series was announced in May, show boss Mike Spender said: “Lots of people have been in contact about it, lots of fun people, from series one onwards.

“We cast it because we knew what was going on behind the scenes of who was getting with who and now even more stories have come out.

“I think we will now save ex-islanders for All Stars.”

One rumoured name for the next series is data engineer Harry Baker.

Harry, 25, arrived in the villa as a bombshell in Series 11. He soon ‘stole’ Grace Jackson after making his debut.

Arriving late in the run, he only lasted for a few days before being dumped alongside Lola Deloca.

Despite the hunk’s brief stint, viewers have called for Harry’s return.

One upset fan wrote: “Get you in All Stars next”, to which Harry cryptically replied by posting ‘shrugging’ emojis.

LOVE ISLAND: ALL STARS RELEASE DATE

ITV announced the news on Instagram with a photograph of a swanky invitation addressed to “dating royalty”.

The invitation was on a white card with gold and black writing which read: “Dear Islander, as dating royalty, you are cordially invited back to the villa as a Love Island All Star.”

The date was then confirmed as: “13th January at 9pm.”
