Are Love Island's Davide and Ekin-Su Back Together?
"Love Island"'s Ekin-Su Wows in Plunging Minidress as She Teases Reunion With Davide
Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu has celebrated her 29th birthday in style, and we'd expect nothing less from the "Love Island" star. In a gorgeous new Instagram post on 22 August, the reality star shared a glimpse into her glamorous birthday celebrations – which she seemed to share with her ex, Davide Sanclimenti.
The influencer wowed in a plunging red mini dress for her birthday meal, which she paired with black heeled sandals during her Bodrum, Turkey getaway – which her "Love Island" co-star even appeared to make an appearance for. Opting for a natural makeup palette (and serving a seriously holiday-worthy glow), Ekin-Su styled her brunette locks in a sleek style.
It was only in June when "Love Island" fans had their hearts broken following the news of Ekin-Su and Davide's breakup. Davide confirmed on 29 June via an Instagram Story that he and his villa co-star had split 11 months after they won the ITV dating show.
But it seems that the pair have teased their reconciliation, as the BoohooMAN ambassador appeared to celebrate Ekin-Su's birthday on 21 August.

In a soft re-launch post on his Instagram Story of his ex holding up a glass of bubbly with a chocolate cake, Davide wrote: "Despite all the storms, I wanted to make this day special for you…Enjoy the moment, make a wish, and blow hard☺️ Happy birthday @ekinsuofficial". The BPerfect Cosmetics ambassador then re-posted the picture of herself to her own Instagram Story.
In Davide's previous Instagram Story, he shared a video at the five-star Lujo Bodrum hotel. In the clip, he shared a running bath on the balcony of the stunning resort, writing: "Pit stop". He then appeared to share a photo of him at the same dinner table as Ekin-Su. Representatives for both Ekin-Su and Davide did not immediately respond to POPSUGAR's request for comment.

The pair seemingly had an on-again-off-again relationship in the villa, but were nonetheless crowned the winners of "Love Island" 2022. Then, in August 2022, Ekin-Su revealed the couple had plans to move in together that September.
Speaking to POPSUGAR about their relationship in October 2022, Ekin-Su said: "It's the little things, like when I'm asleep, he tucks me in bed or just makes sure I have my paracetamol there for me. It's so sweet of him. And I wish people could see more of that but I'm the one living it, and a relationship should be private I think." The pair also appeared in their own ITV series, "Ekin-Su and Davide: Homecomings", where they both visited their home countries of Italy and Turkey, as well as meeting each other's families.
Could the couple be re-joining the likes of Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury in successful "Love Island" relationships? Time will tell.
