‘Love Island’ winners Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan engaged

Love Island winners Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan are officially engaged.

The couple, who won the winter 2023 series of the popular dating show and became fan favourites after it was realised they were the show’s first winning couple of colour, have been dating for just under 18 months having met in the South African villa that January.


The 25-year-olds took to social media to share their proposal pictures with the adorable caption: “Introducing the next Mrs Fagan.”

Kai continued his caption which was also shared on fiancée's Sanam page too: “Beautiful, Caring, Loving and Smart are just some of the words that describe you. I love loving you, I love you and I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you.”

The pair were photographed on Saturday in Cambridge, with Sanam glowing in a white body con dress and Kai dressed to the ninths in a matching white shirt and jacket.

Fellow Love Island stars including Tasha Ghouri, Indiyah Polak, Dami Hope, and Toby Aromolaran were quick to offer their congratulations.

Hope wrote under the post, “Omg this the most beautiful thing to wake up to.”

Ghouri from Season 8 commented, “AHHHH!!!!! This is beautiful, congratulations to two amazing people.”

Fans also took to the comments to congratulate the pair. One user wrote: "Sobbing over people I don't even know but this is so wholesome and perfect and I love you guys."

During the final of the ITV show in 2023, the pair wrote love letters to one another, with Kai telling Sanam: “Every conversation we have you continue to amaze me and draw me closer to you, with all our goals, dreams and morals aligning.”

From Anupama Parameswaran to Samantha Ruth Prabhu: Why the sexist ‘climber’ label follows women who date successful men

Highlights

  • Successful actresses are often accused of choosing relationships for money or status
  • The ‘gold digger’ and ‘climber’ labels can erase women’s own careers and financial independence
  • Anupama Parameswaran, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Sushmita Sen and Malaika Arora have all faced versions of the same narrative
  • Their responses show how female stars are increasingly refusing to accept the assumption that a relationship must have a financial motive

When a successful woman is linked to a wealthier or more powerful man, the question is often not whether she is happy, in love or making an independent choice. Instead, the conversation quickly turns to what she might gain from the relationship.

That is where the word ‘climber’ becomes revealing. It suggests that a woman is using a relationship to move upwards socially, financially or professionally, reducing a personal choice to a calculated transaction. In Indian celebrity culture, the label often appears alongside accusations of being a ‘gold digger’, particularly when a relationship ends.
