Love Island UK winner Julia makes bold statement about relationship with Lorenzo

Post-villa life for Love Island 2026 winners Julia Majchrzak and Lorenzo Alessi has only just begun but they’re already looking at potentially a big decision in the near future.

The pair, who first met during the show's dramatic Casa Amor twist, quickly became one of the villa's strongest couples. After surviving weeks of public votes and proving their chemistry, they were crowned this year's champions during Monday night's (27 July) live final, taking home the £50,000 cash prize to split between them.

Right now they’re currently in the ‘exclusive’ stage but have yet to make their relationship official, which would mean using the boyfriend and girlfriend titles. After the couple were crowned the winners, however, host Maya Jama asked them how they planned to spend the cash.

Julia didn’t hesitate with her response: “I want him to move in with me,” the 26-year-old insurance broker declared, while Lorenzo was still in shock after hearing the news. Now that they’ve landed back in London after a summer of love in ITV’s villa, fans will have to wait and see when they’ll take the next step.

After the dramatic live final, Julia and business owner Lorenzo, 28, sat down and gave a more detailed answer about the items they’re planning to buy with their prize money. “I want to get myself a nice token from this experience, maybe a watch or something to commemorate it. I’ve realised I’m quite a sentimental person,” he told The Sun.

“Last night I kept the cork from the champagne that they gave us after the show.

“Just little things to celebrate what a journey it has been.”

Meanwhile, insurance broker Julia said: “Heels! I’m getting myself a nice pair of heels.”

To which Lorenzo replied: “And maybe a good holiday.”

The voting figures revealed Lorenzo and Julia won with a massive 62.4 percent share of the popular vote, almost double the votes received by runners-up Jasmine and Kavan, who got 37.6 percent.

Angelista and Simba finished in third place with 26 percent of the vote.

Lorenzo's journey was one of the season's biggest rollercoasters, packed with love triangles, fan speculation and plenty of villa drama. He first formed a connection Jasmine and even after they decided to call things off, many viewers remained convinced there were unresolved feelings between them, with speculation repeatedly resurfacing that Lorenzo still had eyes for Jasmine whenever they crossed paths in the villa.

Lorenzo later explored a connection with Yasmin Hadlow, but despite showing early promise, the romance never truly took off, with Yasmin eventually turning her attention to Tommy Stagg.

Everything changed during Casa Amor, where Lorenzo met Julia Majchrzak, and the pair formed an instant spark that survived one of the show's toughest relationship tests.
