In a revelation that has sent fans into a frenzy, Love Island star Kaz Kamwi has lifted the lid on a secret marriage pact with her villa co-star Toby Aromolaran. The candid admission adds a compelling new layer to one of reality TV’s most enduring friendships — and leaves viewers wondering whether the palpable chemistry between them has always been part friendship, part contingency plan.

Kaz and Toby first crossed paths in the Love Island villa back in 2021, where they were briefly coupled up. Since then, their bond has only grown stronger, fuelled by frequent nights out together and playful, often flirtatious moments captured on social media. These public displays have naturally sparked romance rumours, yet Kaz is clear: nothing romantic has developed between them outside the villa.

“We’ve never sat there and said to each other, ‘we are just friends’ or ‘we will never be together,’” she explained in an exclusive interview. Instead, the pair have an informal pact — a safety net of sorts. If neither has found “The One” by a certain age, they would consider marriage. For Kaz, now 31, the clock is ticking. Toby, four or five years her junior, has until she turns 34. “It’s been three years,” she noted. “If I get bored at the end of this year, I’m going to be like, ‘shall we just do this’?”

The 31-year-old star described their connection as exceptionally close, admitting they sometimes look back at their TikToks and laugh at how “cheeky” the moments appear. While she has never experienced a traditional friends-to-lovers storyline — preferring the intense, love-bombed beginnings that have defined her past relationships — this pact represents a different kind of possibility.

A Strategic Alliance or Genuine Connection?

The revelation invites fresh analysis of their dynamic. In the high-stakes world of Love Island, where alliances can be both romantic and strategic, Kaz and Toby’s enduring friendship stands out. Their closeness has weathered multiple seasons and real-world challenges. During the 2024 Love Island: All Stars series, Toby was visibly emotional, sobbing when Kaz was eliminated on day 23. Yet Kaz maintains that their relationship has remained platonic — at least for now.

Toby’s own love life has been far more turbulent. After finishing as runners-up with Chloe Burrows in 2021 and attempting a real-world relationship that lasted 13 months before ending due to a “breakdown in trust,” he rekindled a brief fling with Georgia Steel in All Stars. The pair placed fourth but split just two months later; Georgia has since become engaged to footballer Harry Clarke. Toby later appeared on Celebrity Ex on the Beach, remaining active on the dating scene.

Kaz’s Next Chapter

Despite the pact, Kaz is not waiting passively. She remains single and open to finding love, expressing strong interest in returning to the Love Island villa for a potential third stint — particularly drawn to the American contestants who brought fresh energy to the recent series.

“Well, now that the Americans are here, I’m like, ‘hello, yep, sign me up’,” she said. “There’s a few American men out there that I fancy… When I hear an accent, I’m like, I’m in love.”

Her comments reflect a refreshingly honest approach to modern dating: a blend of high standards, self-awareness about past patterns, and a pragmatic fallback with someone she already trusts deeply. Whether the pact ever evolves into something more remains to be seen, but it humanises two of Love Island’s most recognisable stars.

In an era where reality TV relationships often burn bright and fade fast, Kaz and Toby’s story offers a different narrative — one of loyalty, timing, and the quiet possibility that the person you’ve been looking for might have been beside you all along. For now, their pact stands as both a playful promise and a telling commentary on the unpredictable journey to finding lasting love.

Only time — and perhaps another stint in the villa — will reveal whether this friendship pact becomes the ultimate Love Island plot twist.
