Love Island's Sean Fitzgerald has undergone a dramatic transformation, as revealed in resurfaced photos from 10 years ago. The Irish footballer, who is currently coupled up with detective Lola Deal in the villa, first appeared on Instagram in 2016, and fans have been digging through his old posts to see how he has changed.
Early Photos Show a Different Look
Scrolling to the bottom of Sean's Instagram page, you'll find a much younger Sean, aged 15 or 16, sporting darker, longer hair. In these photos, he often wears backward baseball caps, tight T-shirts, and button-up shirts—a true sign of the 2010s era. Unlike many Islanders who archive their old content, Sean left his posts untouched, giving fans a glimpse into his past.
The Blonde Era and Mullet Phase
In 2020, Sean switched up his hairstyle, opting for blonde tips and a mullet cut. This new look made him appear older and complemented his footballer physique and height. Although the blonde tips were short-lived, he continued to rock a shaggy mullet style for a while. By late 2023, he shaved it all off in favor of a dyed blonde buzzcut, which is the hairstyle he currently sports on Love Island.
Reaction from Fellow Islanders
When Robyn Langton first met Sean on the show, she assumed his hair was naturally blonde. She asked, "Your hair is insane as well. Is that dyed? Don't lie." Sean admitted it was dyed, surprising Robyn, who replied, "I thought you were a natural goddess."
Sean's transformation has been a talking point among fans, with many noting how his evolving style has complemented his journey from a teenager to a professional footballer and now a reality TV star.
