Love Island Drama
Megan Barton Hanson and Eyal Booker, the explosive couple from Love Island, are about to face off once again in Love Island Games. But how did their fiery romance turn into a bitter feud?
A Night in the Hideaway
In 2018, Megan and Eyal made Love Island history as the first couple to have sex in the villa. After a date on episode 16, the couple shared a passionate night in the Hideaway, where things got steamy. Viewers saw them kissing in bed and Eyal's foot curling up with pleasure.
A Sudden Split
Just three weeks later, Megan ended their relationship in the villa, claiming that they weren't having as much fun as the other couples. She famously told Eyal, "You’re not exactly Jim Carrey. I can’t have fun with myself."
Wes Nelson's Involvement
Shortly after Megan and Eyal's split, Wes Nelson got close to Laura Anderson, and the two also shared a night of passion. Wes claimed that they didn't go all the way because he felt uncomfortable with the cameras. However, Wes eventually dumped Laura for Megan, and they had sex on camera in the Hideaway.
Lights On, Daytime
Megan and Wes were even caught by their fellow islanders attempting to have sex with the lights on in the middle of the day. Megan also romped with Wes while wearing Eyal's hoodie, adding to the drama.
The Aftermath
At the Love Island final party in 2018, Eyal publicly criticized Megan's kissing skills, saying, "I've had better kisses, I've had worse. It was alright at that time."
A Surprising Reunion
In 2020, the fallout between Megan and Eyal resurfaced when US reality star Scott Disick messaged Megan on Instagram, asking her to apologize for the way she treated Eyal. This unexpected request left Megan "speechless," and she shared the DM with her followers.
A Second Shot at Love?
Now, Megan and Eyal have the chance to reconcile as they compete with Love Island stars from around the world in Fiji to become the ultimate franchise champions. The series will be hosted by Maya Jama and will debut in the US on November 1st.
Participants on the show include Curtis Pritchard, Georgia Steel, Jack Fowler, Mike Boateng, Liberty Poole, Scott Van-der-sluis, Toby Aromolaran, and international Love Island stars from Lisa Siden to Imani Wheeler.
