There&#8217;s been rumours she&#8217;s dating clothing brand Peppermayo&#8217;s managing director, Huayi Huang, since they were seen together.<\/p>\n<p>After she won Love Island Games a few months ago, she appeared to be cosy with fellow winner <a href=\"https:\/\/realitytvshrine.com\/2025\/09\/23\/heres-what-really-happened-that-led-to-isaiah-and-sydneys-shocking-post-love-island-split\/\">Isaiah Campbell<\/a>, and people thought they were dating. But Lucinda claimed she&#8217;s &#8220;too needy&#8221; and that Isaiah is pretty busy, shutting down any speculation they were together.<\/p>\n<p>Then, months ago, an account seemingly belonging to Huayi Huang, commented on Lucinda&#8217;s TikTok video with star emojis.
