Love Island All Stars finalists Scott van-der-Sluis and Leanne Amaning have finally made their relationship official, ending months of speculation from fans. The couple, who finished in third place on the popular reality show, shared the major update while on a romantic trip to Iceland.
From Villa Favorites to Official Couple
Scott and Leanne quickly became fan favorites during their time in the Love Island villa, with viewers eagerly awaiting news about their relationship status. Since leaving the show, fans have been particularly vocal about wanting Scott to officially make Leanne his girlfriend.
During their time on the show, Scott expressed hesitation about going official when fellow contestant Sean Stone asked Lucinda Strafford to be his girlfriend. Scott called the decision "mad" at the time and later told co-star Whitney Adebayo that while he saw Leanne as "girlfriend material," he wasn't sure if it was the right moment.
The Long-Awaited Announcement
In a recent TikTok video posted from Iceland's famous Blue Lagoon, Scott finally confirmed their relationship status. The video featured the caption: "right place, right person, right time. It was only ever going to be you ❤️"
Scott cleverly used the ship name fans had given them, writing "Let me introduce you to ScottanneOfficial" in the video. The romantic announcement was set to Carla Morrison's love song 'Disfruto,' which translates from Spanish to 'I Enjoy.' The song's lyrics include: "It pleases me to love you. I enjoy caressing you and put you to sleep."
Fan Reactions and Relationship History
Fans have been overjoyed by the news, with one commenting: "AHHHH NEVER BEEN SO HAPPY." Another supporter wrote: "The caption ?? beautiful song, the lyrics are so lovely for you both. Scottanne 4L."
While Scott had been hesitant about labels during their time in the villa, Leanne had expressed different feelings, asking him multiple times why he thought going official was "so crazy." Some fans had speculated that Scott's reluctance might mean he was planning a special girlfriend proposal.
Although the couple hasn't shared content from the exact moment Scott asked Leanne to be his girlfriend, choosing Iceland as the location for their announcement has been widely praised as particularly romantic by their supporters.
The relationship update comes after Scott previously addressed questions about their status in an interview with Capital, saying: "All I can say is, yeah that's just for me to know. That's for me to know." It's now clear that at that time, they were not yet officially together.
