The profound lesson of Love Island USA season 6 is: Sometimes you have to get through your Rob to get to your Miguel. Leah, our brave soldier, survived the snake-obsessed villain’s relentless gaslighting and ultimately met her true love, the stunning, British, and unproblematic Miguel. (I admittedly was one of the fools that shipped her and Rob for a while there, and I do wanna publicly apologize for that brief lapse in sanity/feminism.) Although Miguel entered the villa as a bombshell in the middle of the season, he quickly became a fan fave and made it to the finals with Leah. It’s been a minute since the season ended now, so are Love Island‘s Leah and Miguel still together and going strong? Here’s an update on where these two icons are today.
Very much so! Four months after season 6, the soulmates are more in love than ever. “I am obsessed with him,” Leah admitted at the November 15 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit 60th anniversary party. “I literally get separation anxiety when we’re not together.” They’re the only co-dependent couple that doesn’t annoy me <3. (Okay, I take that back — I also approve of Olivia Rodrigo and Louis Partridge.) The Love Island star also recently gushed about her BF to Us Weekly, sharing, “I have never met someone like Miguel. I think he is the best guy and only guy ever for me.” Sorry, is that… wedding bells I’m hearing? She emphasized that it’s “wild” they met on the show and called him “the happiest, most pure person.” Crying.
And no, they were not fighting when Miguel was walking in front of her at Disneyland that one time. “I was making him take pictures of me!” Leah confirmed. “We both just love to make things super lighthearted.” Do not scare me with any more ridiculous fighting/breakup rumors, people.
According to Leah, they pretty much live together already, but they’re working on official living arrangements. “We live together right now, basically, at my apartment,” she told People during a November 15 interview. Leah noted that Miguel is “in the process of moving” to L.A. Although he wasn’t a fan of the city at first, she won him over. “When we were in the villa, he was saying he doesn’t really like L.A. and I was like, ‘Just wait until you see my L.A.,’ and he likes it now,” she told the magazine. Now, every time he leaves L.A., he says, “Fuck, I want to go back to L.A.'” Okay, if I was Leah, I’d probably move to London over staying in L.A., but I’m sure they’re gonna live their best post-reality show influencer life in the city of angels, and I love that for them.
