The new romance will come as shock as she won the Love Island Games just weeks ago with Isaiah CampbellCredit: Ben Symons / Peacock The Love Island Games, which only came to an end last month, sees fan-favourite Islanders from around the world compete in a variety of team and couple competitions.
Lucinda went onto to win the show with Isaiah Campbell, with the pair scooping the $250K prize pot.
After their big win, the pair revealed they planned to continue to date following their time on the show.
However, in a huge u-turn, and just weeks after leaving the Love island Games with Isaiah, Lucinda has revealed she is now dating fellow contestant Mert Okatan from the Netherlands.
The new couple hard launched their budding romance with loved-up pics from a date in London.
Sharing the sweet snaps, Lucinda wrote: “In our own little world.
The new couple had been getting to know each other on the Love Island Games, before Mert was dumped after a viewer vote.
During his exit interview, her confessed he would “wait for Lucinda” – and it looks like his patience has paid off.
Lucinda first found fame in Love Island’s 2021 season.
The blonde bombshell had hearts racing when she arrived with Millie Court and it wasn’t long before she was coupled up with Brad McClelland.
Yet there was cruel twist in their blossoming romance as the labourer opted to leave the villa.
Lucinda then headed Down Under, and appeared on Love Island Australia in 2023.
On there she coupled up with New Zealand lad Zac Nunns but they went their separate ways in February 2024.
There was also previously talk of her going on Love Island All Stars, but that looks unlikely now she has hard launched her new romance.
