You never see parents in the villa

1 day ago

Two new bombshells entered the Love Island 2025 villa tonight, including Shea Mannings, who is a dad!

It’s pretty rare to see parents on the reality TV show, and it’s always an awkward conversation for them to have with their fellow Islanders.

Here’s everything you need to know about Shea, who’s certainly set to turn a few heads in there.

The bombshell is also a dad!

Shea has got a little boy from a previous relationship, and his son is going to have a big impact on who he dates in the villa.

When asked about his ideal partner, he told ITV: “She needs to be bubbly and we need to have that initial spark. She needs to have a nice personality – like I think I have – so that we match together. Also, I have a little boy, so I’ll be taking him into consideration with who I couple up with, too”.

“I am ready again to look for something more serious. I’m 25 now, so I want to be settling down and have someone always by my side,” he added.

He seems very confident

I think he might ruffle a few feathers in there because Shea seems a little cocky. He said he would be the CEO of “pulling girls” and is “confident to go up and introduce myself [to women] and say, ‘You look beautiful’, to get a conversation flowing.” Not if they have dirty trainers though – that’s his biggest ick.
