'Love Island' 2021: Who Is Coupled With Who—And Who's Been Eliminated
In 2020, Love Island began with 10 contestants coupling up before an 11th man arrived and shook things up. This year, things are a little bit different, and two contestants will be left out after the first re-coupling.
In the 2021 third season of Love Island, things start as usual with couples forming.
By the end of the first episode, there were only five girls and seven boys in the villa in Hawaii, meaning two men will not get a girl after the first re-coupling.
The bombshell arrival of two new men as the first day ended meant after just 24 hours in the villa, two men will end up single after their girls are stolen.
We break down the couples from Day 1 and who was eliminated as the season progressed.
Who is Coupled With Who
Cashay and Christian
Cashay Proudfoot, 25, is a waitress from Brooklyn, New York. Christian Longnecker, 24 is a coffee company owner from Oahu, Hawaii.

Who's Been Eliminated
At this early stage, no one has been eliminated.
However, two of the boys were not coupled up in the first episode, as they arrived as bombshells at the end.
These boys are Cinco Holland, 25, a delivery driver from Ashburn, Virginia; and Will Moncada, 26, a cannabis dispensary worker from Colombia.
In the second show, they will choose a girl each to couple up with in the first re-coupling, which will leave two boys vulnerable.
Newsweek will update this story with recouplings and eliminations as they happen.
