Love Island’s Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan are engaged: Couple share pictures from the big proposal – just 13 months after they won the show

Love Island’s Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan are engaged after a whirlwind 13-month romance.

Kai got down on one knee while the pair were boating in Cambridge, with Sanam dressed in bridal white and Kai wearing a matching colored jacket.

They kissed passionately in another sweet photo before celebrating by popping champagne.

The couple, both 25, won the second and ultimately final winter series of Love Island in March 2023 and were the show’s first winning couple of color.

They recently revealed why their relationship has lasted longer than the relationships of other couples on the show as they took a swipe at their co-stars.

Together with Shaq Muhammad and Tanya Mahenga and Will Young and Jessie Wynter, they are the only couple from their series that is still together.

Speak with OK! magazinethe couple explained the sacrifices they had to make to maintain their relationship.

Kai said: ‘The difference between Love Island couples and regular couples is that there is a lot of pressure on the relationship when you leave the villa.

“What makes Sanam and me different is that you have to decide what you want more: the fame that comes with the show, or the person you are in a relationship with.

‘You get invited to parties, but we wanted each other more than that lifestyle. We enjoy every moment together and also do things that the other is interested in.’

The couple is known for their modesty, with Sanam going straight back into social work after the show, rather than launching a career as an influencer.

Kai and Sanam moved in together just months after leaving the villa and although they admitted to having minor arguments, such as who should take out the bins, the couple quickly quashed them.

They celebrated their one-year anniversary in February, although their series ended in March as that’s when Sanam joined Love Island in Casa Amor.

The couple are now ready to move out of their apartment and hope to get on the property ladder by buying a house together.

Kai had shared that he was thinking of proposing to Sanam and said he hoped the couple will start a family in the near future.

In May, Kai and Sanam will take part in a skydive to raise money for a children’s charity.

Sanam told her 400,000+ followers: ‘Me and @kaifagan_ are raising money for @actionforchildrenuk by doing a SKYDIVE on May 10th!

‘We’re both so excited about it (maybe me more than Kai) but also so nervous! We visited one of @actionforchildrenuk Short Breaks Services where we were able to see just one of the ways they support children!

‘The money raised will benefit the charity as it means they can continue to provide these types of services and also allows them to continue to protect and support young people with practical and emotional support.

Kai previously said, “What makes Sanam and me different is that you have to decide what more you want: the fame that comes with the show, or the person you are in a relationship with.”

He continued, “You get invited to parties, but we wanted each other more than that lifestyle. We enjoy every moment together and we do things that the other is also interested in’

In May, social worker Sanam and qualified teacher Kai will take part in a skydive to raise money for a children’s charity

‘Myself and Kai are trying to raise a total of £1,500 for charity! We would like to thank everyone so far who has helped us get closer to this goal and would like to encourage as many of you as possible to donate to it.”

‘No matter how big or small, every donation matters and makes a big difference. To donate, the link is in our bios. With your donation you help a vulnerable young person.’

Kai worked as a teacher before Love Island, so children’s welfare is an issue close to both of their hearts.
