Shakira Khan and Harry Cooksley, two contestants from the 12th season of Love Island UK, have been making headlines since the show's finale. Despite rumours, the pair are still spending time together, albeit taking their relationship slowly and without the label of official[1].
The duo's journey in the villa was not without its ups and downs. Initially, Shakira was coupled with Conor Gilligan, while Harry was with Helena. However, just before the final, Harry made the decision to recouple with Shakira, ending things with Helena to be with her[1][2]. They left the villa as a couple, finishing second place after Toni and Cach[2].
Fast forward to early August 2025, and the pair have split again on Day 26. Despite this, Harry expressed his gratitude to the viewers who voted for him and Shakira in the finale on the show's official Instagram[3].
Shakira, a 22-year-old from Burnley, and Harry, a 30-year-old from Guildford, didn't couple up until Day 14[4]. Their complex journey in the villa has been a topic of discussion among fans and fellow cast members. Billykiss Azeez, a fellow contestant, believes that Shakira and Harry are genuinely in love, despite their complex journey[5].
Billykiss also praised Shakira for being emotionally intelligent with her decisions in the villa. She noted that Shakira closed off her relationship with Harry completely when she ended things with him, leaving no room for ambiguity[6].
The Love Island UK Season 12 finale was filmed only a couple of days before it aired on ITV[7]. Billykiss named Shakira and Harry as her choice to win the season[8]. Harry also expressed his appreciation to the viewers who voted for him and Shakira in the finale.
As for the rumours about Harry possibly seeing someone else before entering the villa, it seems that the pair have managed to move past that and are focusing on where their relationship might go[1]. The future remains uncertain for Shakira and Harry, but one thing is clear: their journey in the Love Island villa has captured the hearts of many viewers.
