Love Island fans are celebrating a historic moment as the latest winners of the ITV2 show, Mimii Ngulube and Josh Oyinsan, have made history by becoming the first black couple to win the reality series since its inception nine years ago.

Mimii and Josh's victory was a standout moment, as they emerged victorious over strong competitors Nicole Samuel and Ciaran Davies, Matilda Draper and Sean Stone, and Jessica Spencer and Ayo Odukoya. The emotional finale saw the remaining couples share heartfelt declarations of love, with Josh writing a touching poem for Mimii. In her speech, Mimii described Josh as "attentive, kind, gentle, and loving."
The journey to their win was anything but smooth. The couple faced numerous challenges, including speculation from fellow islanders about Mimii's lingering feelings for her initial partner, Ayo. Despite these hurdles, Mimii and Josh's bond grew stronger, and their love story resonated deeply with viewers.
The couple's eight-week stay in the villa was filled with dramatic moments, including shock dumpings, unexpected recouplings, and sneaky kisses on the famous terrace. This season's contestants also missed major events like the Euros tournament, the Olympics opening ceremony, and a general election, making their time inside the villa even more intense and isolated.
Love Island fans took to social media to express their excitement and pride in Mimii and Josh's groundbreaking win. The couple's triumph not only signifies a new milestone for the show but also highlights the growing diversity and representation within the popular reality series.
As Mimii and Josh step out of the villa and into the real world, their journey is far from over. With a strong fan base and a promising future ahead, the couple is set to make the most of their newfound fame and the opportunities that come with it.
