Love Island's Grace and Reuben: Still Going Strong After Dumping
Love Island stars Grace Jackson and Reuben Collins are still going strong despite being dumped from the villa just days before the final.
The couple, who were voted out as the least compatible pair on Wednesday 24th July, have spoken about their future together, with Grace revealing things are going "really, really well".
In an interview with The Sun, Grace shared her excitement about the future, saying, "I think, ultimately, what I went in for, I found. I'm enjoying my time with Reuben so much. So, whether it meant I left when I did or made it to the final, it wasn't a massive deal in that sense. I'd found what I wanted so I was happy to go at any point."
The pair are already planning date nights and meeting each other's families. Grace is looking forward to moving to London soon, where Reuben currently lives. "He's London, I'm Manchester. But I'm hoping to move to London soon anyway," she said. "I'm really excited to get on the outside with him."
While Grace admitted the dumping was a "shock", she understands the nature of the competition. "100% it was a shock, you have to expect the unexpected," she said. "I think it was the last question of the game and we were all getting really tired. We'd been out in the sun and then Josh got the text."
She continued, "I think I half expected it to be like islanders gathering on the fire pit and some sort of dumping. But it was just literally like, 'you've got the least votes, pack your bags and leave the villa'. It's brutal. It honestly is."
Despite the unexpected exit, Grace maintains a positive outlook. "Whether I made it to the final or if I didn't, I was really pleased just to be there," she concluded.
It seems that for Grace and Reuben, their Love Island journey was about finding something special, and it appears they've achieved that goal. Fans will be hoping to see this couple's relationship continue to blossom outside of the villa.
Love Island airs on ITV2 and is available to stream on ITVX.
