<p>The <em>Love Island</em> stars announced on Monday, Oct. 19, that they are expecting their first child together, sharing a video of Samie's ultrasound scan on Instagram, <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/bulletin/culture/love-island-samie-tyrique-pregnant-b3069258.html" rel="noopener" target="_blank">The Independent</a> reports. Samie is 26 and Tyrique is 27.</p>


<h2>The scan video</h2>
<p>In the clip, the couple giggle with excitement as they see their baby's ultrasound for the first time, and Tyrique looks like he can hardly believe it as he holds the scan pictures, according to <a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/breaking-love-island-samie-pregnant-37786471" rel="noopener" target="_blank">The Mirror</a>.</p>

<p>Samie captioned her post with a single heart emoji. Tyrique reposted the video and wrote: "DON'T MAKE A SCENE. CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS NEXT CHAPTER... LOVE YOU @samieelishi," The Mirror reports.</p>


<figure class="pullquote"><blockquote><p>CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS NEXT CHAPTER</p></blockquote><figcaption>— Tyrique Hyde, as quoted by <a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/breaking-love-island-samie-pregnant-37786471" rel="noopener" target="_blank">The Mirror</a></figcaption></figure>
<h2>The villa reacts</h2>
<p>The Love Island family flooded the comments. <a class="celeb-link" href="https://houseofgreynews.com/celebrity/olivia-attwood/">Olivia Attwood</a> wrote, "Congratulations cherubs!!!!" and Jess Harding added, "Ahhhhh mum &amp; dad can't even cope," according to The Mirror. Sammy Root and Mitchell Taylor sent their congratulations, too.</p>


<h2>The twist: their love story began on Twitch</h2>
<p>Here's the part even big fans might have missed. Samie and Tyrique were never in the villa together. Samie starred on the 2023 winter series, and Tyrique was on the summer series that same year, The Mirror reports.</p>


<p>So how did they meet? Earlier this year, Samie was back on <em>Love Island: All Stars</em>, a series she went on to win. Tyrique was watching and commentating on that season on his Twitch channel, and he made no secret of his feelings for her, according to The Mirror. After the series, he reached out.</p>


<p>The pair were spotted on a date in March, The Mirror reports, and The Independent says they went public in April. Tyrique summed up his approach on a livestream at the time: "I'm someone that has to go big or go home. I decided to go big, and now she's coming home," he said, per The Mirror.</p>


<h2>A whirlwind year</h2>
<p>Since then, the couple have had sunny trips abroad, Ascot dates and cute UK staycations, The Mirror reports. In May, Tyrique flew to Miami to cheer Samie on as she walked in Swim Week, posting: "WENT TO MIAMI TO WATCH MY GIRL WALK IN SWIM WEEK… THINK I'M IN FLOW STATE BRB."</p>


<p>Now, about six months after they went public, they're starting their next chapter, The Independent notes.</p>


<aside class="context-box"><h2>Who is Samie Elishi?</h2><p>Samie Elishi is an English TV personality who first entered the villa on the ninth series of ITV2's <em>Love Island</em> in 2023, according to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samie_Elishi" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a>. She went on to appear on the second and third series of <em>Love Island: All Stars</em> in 2025 and 2026, and she won the 2026 series. <em>Love Island</em> itself is the British show that started the whole global franchise, now presented by Maya Jama and narrated by Iain Stirling, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_Island_(2015_TV_series)" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a> notes.</p>
</aside>
<p>For anyone new to the show: in Love Island, the "Islanders" live together in a villa cut off from the outside world, must stay coupled up to survive, and the winning couple takes home a combined £50,000, according to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_Island_(2015_TV_series)" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a>.</p>


<h2>Joining the Love Island parents club</h2>
<p>Samie and Tyrique join a long line of Islanders turned parents. The Mirror points to Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury, who welcomed their second child, a son, in June 2026, after their daughter was born in January 2023, and Series 1's Cally Jane Beech and Luis Morrison, who became the first Islanders to have a baby when their daughter arrived in May 2017.</p>


<p>From a Twitch stream to a scan video in one year. Congratulations, Samie and Tyrique!</p>
