This Love Island 2020 legend has just shockingly revealed he’s become a dad!
I wasn’t expecting this at all
A winter Love Island 2020 star has revealed he’s just become a dad! Five years after being on the show, he’s shared a bunch of cute pictures of his newborn, and the adorable name.
Remember Connor Durman? He was on the first winter version of the show, and for his time in the villa was coupled up with Sophie Piper. They were dumped from the island and tried to make it work on the outside, but split up. Sophie then went on All Stars, and is still in a relationship with Josh Ritchie who she met there, now.

Meanwhile, Connor is now with a woman called Ella Newton. They have been together since 2021. The couple announced five months ago they were expecting their first “surprise” baby together.
They’ve now shared on Instagram that they’ve become parents. They shared some photos on Instagram, one being a black and white photo of the baby, another of Connor holding his new son. “Baby Rome 17.04.25,” the caption said, along with a white heart emoji.
The comments section was filled with well wishes from Islanders. Connor is still friends with fellow winter Islander and All Stars cast member Callum Jones, who said: “Finally here, made up for you both.” Winter winner Finley Tapp said: “Congratulations mate,” along with a black heart emoji. Shaughna Phillips added: “Congratulations to you both.” Paige Turley, who won the show with Finn, said: “Awww how lovely!! Congratulations to you both.”

This isn’t the only update in Connor’s life. Prior to Love Island 2020, he worked as a coffee bean salesman. Now, Connor runs his own business – a coffee company called Naked Baristas. It appears that girlfriend Ella also works at the company, and owns her own lash tech company.
Congrats to them both!
