Connor Newsum and Carmen Kocourek are officially coupled up.
Indeed, the Love Island USA season six alum hard-launched his relationship with the season five star in a cheeky social media post.
“An update,” Connor—who is set to star in Love Island: Beyond the Villa after being dumped from the villa hallway through his season—captioned a July 3 Instagram post alongside a series of pics of the two cozying up for the camera.
Along with commenting a heart and an angel emoji underneath Connor’s post, Carmen celebrated with a subtle tribute of her own.
“Party of 2,” she wrote on Instagram moments later alongside a photo of the pair packing on the PDA.
And since the two are no longer hiding their connection, their fellow Love Island alums expressed how excited they are that their friends were able to find love outside the villa.
“Awwwwww,” season six’s Olivia “Liv” Walker commented under Connor’s post, while their costar Aaron Evans quipped, “Dad Rizz.”
As for Carmen’s costars? Johnnie Olivia wrote, “God she’s STUNNING,” while Leslie Golden gushed, “Awwww cutiessss.”
Connor and Carmen’s big announcement comes one year after the 24-year-old, who entered season five as a bombshell, announced that she and Kenzo Nudo broke up after placing fourth in their season.
“Since you guys have been on this journey with me, it feels only right to let you guys know that me and kenzo are no longer together,” Carmen wrote on her Instagram Stories last July. “Ultimately, we want different things & are headed down different paths.”
For his part, Kenzo made it clear that there was no bad blood between the two.
“As many of you may know by now, me and Carmen did break up and we’re still gonna remain friends,” he wrote on his Instagram Stories at the time. “We have nothing but love for each other, we care about each other but at the end of the day we had different lifestyles, different goals and we wanted different things.”
