Love Island UK’s Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan have tied the knot!
The pair — who became the first couple formed in Casa Amor to go on and win Love Island in 2023 — announced in a series of Instagram posts that they had wed on Friday, Aug. 1, in a ceremony in Essex, England.
“Mr. and Mrs. Fagan forever and always 🤍 ,” the couple captioned a joint post, adding their wedding date alongside a number of photos of their wedding looks.
Harrinanan, a social worker, wore a stunning off-the-shoulder wedding gown that featured a floral lace bodice and tulle skirt from Lotte Rose Bridal boutique in Bedford. She completed her look with a loosely curled hairstyle down her back, a bouquet of pink and purple flowers, as well as glittering earrings, a necklace and a veil from the U.K.-based Tulle & Flo.

Fagan, a high school teacher, first proposed to his now-wife in April 2024, announcing the news with a series of engagement photos with the caption: “Introducing the next Mrs. Fagan.”
“Beautiful, caring, loving and smart are just some of the words that describe you,” Fagan added in the heartfelt post. “I love loving you, I love you and I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you.”
Ahead of their big day, Fagan spoke with The Sun about how his now-wife had been in charge of the majority of the wedding planning.
“She’s taking a bit of control of this because I never had a dream wedding. A lot of young girls have a dream wedding and know exactly what they want,” he shared. “And that’s going to be her special day at the end of the day. So it’s got to be perfect for her.”
“But I’d marry her anywhere,” Fagan teased. “I’d go to the registry office in Manchester tomorrow.”
