Love Island’s Curtis has addressed whether he would be open to dating a man

Curtis really seems to have hit it off with Ekin-Su on All Stars, but he’s previously revealed that he is open to the idea of dating a man.

When asked about his sexual identity in 2019, after his first stint on Love Island, he told The Sun he doesn’t like to put a “label” on his sexuality.

“I’ve been with women and I’m with a woman now. You can never put a label on anything,” he said.

“It’s a cliche to say, but love is blind. I can never ever say what will happen in the future. I wouldn’t rule anything out.”

Maura Higgins, who he dated for eight months after the villa, was surprisingly pushy and it seems like she put a lot of pressure on him to talk about his sexuality.

In a 2020 interview with The Sun after they split, she revealed that she always wished he would give an honest answer.

“I just feel like, be honest. He never says he’s straight, he never says he’s gay. I just feel like, whatever it is just be honest and say it,” she said.

The ex-Islander added that when she asked him about his sexual identity, he always “said he was straight” but “didn’t say that in public”.

“I find that quite strange. Just be honest. Say what you said to me, you know?” Maura continued.

Curtis has only ever publicly dated women, including Maura, dancer Amber Pierson, and most recently, theatre actress Sophie Sheridan.

She has been very vocal during his time on All Stars, claiming Curtis convinced her to pretend they broke up so he could go on Love Island Games.

They were together for around three years in total before “conveniently” splitting in October 2024, just as the casting calls for All Stars were coming in.

Sophie told The Sun she feels like she finally has to tell the truth because he was so “disrespectful” towards her and their relationship.

Curtis and Ekin-Su are now closed off, but he said he doesn’t feel ready to say “I love you” after she spelled it out on his birthday breakfast plate.

Does she like him more than he likes her? Or are they really one of the strongest couples in there? Only time will tell.
