Love Island UK star Lorenzo’s mum shares real reason he refuses to make a girl coffee in villa

Lorenzo’s mum has revealed the surprising reason he has never made his Love Island partner Julia a morning coffee despite the villa tradition being one of the show’s most-loved rituals.

One of Love Island’s unofficial traditions is the boys making coffee or breakfast for the girl they’re coupled up with each morning. It’s less a rule and more an example of the “acts of service” love language that has become a familiar part of villa life because, after all, who doesn’t love waking up to a coffee made by someone else?

Viewers were recently asked to vote for their favourite couple, with Lorenzo and Julia coming out on top. However, one detail about their blossoming relationship has continued to leave fans confused.

Despite meeting in Casa Amor a few weeks ago, Lorenzo has never been seen making Julia a morning coffee, while the other boys in the villa have embraced the ritual with their partners.

Julia had asked if he would make her a coffee a number of times, explaining how small gestures like a caffeinated beverage mean a lot to her.

The mystery was addressed by host Maya Jama during Aftersun on Sunday (12 July), and luckily for viewers, Lorenzo’s mum was on hand to explain.

“Well, why do you think it’s been so long ‘til he’s made someone a coffee,” Jama asked.

She revealed that her son had made her a promise before entering the villa that he wouldn’t make coffee for anyone while on the show.

“He’s been watching it [Love Island] since he was a kid every year and he’d always be like,’I’ve never ever seen a girl make a coffee for a guy’.

“So it irritated him a bit. Not because he’s lazy or anything - he always makes me a tea or coffee, cleans the house. He’s very good like that, very domesticated.

“But to wind me up he said to me, ‘I promise that I’m not going to make anyone a coffee.’”

Lorenzo did eventually go back on his pledge and made Julia a coffee in Friday’s episode.

After being voted the top couple in the villa, Lorenzo and Julia were tasked with choosing which one of the show’s least popular couples would be sent home.

The three unlucky couples were Lola and Sean, Mica and Samraj and Martha and Jordon.

Julia and Lorenzo gave their decision a lot of thought before Lola and Sean were sent packing. The latter were the fasted couple in the show’s history to lock things off and make their relationship official.

Lola and Julia had butted heads in recent episodes. The former wasn’t pleased about Julia sharing a few flirty exchanges with Sean and confronted her.

After a series of heated exchanges, the two women put their differences aside for the most part.
