Furthermore, she has also showcased her versatility on reality television after starring in season 2 of The Traitors on Peacock.
Despite her success outside the Villa, there was one key component that she lacked, true love. This is exactly the reason that Ekin-Su is returning to Love Island All Stars 2025.
What is Ekin-Su’s Agenda in All-Stars 2025?
With a decade of experience, Ekin-Su, 30, knows precisely what she is after. The love, fame and success she has encountered thus far leaves her with the singular goal of meeting the right person to settle down with. No more games, chemistry and maturity are high on her must-have list alongside energetic alignment with her future partner.

Will Ekin-Su Find Love Again?
Now that Love Island All Stars 2025 has officially launched, everyone’s focus is on Ekin-Sue and how she will take over the Villa yet again. Ekin-Su is one of the most entertaining contestants on the show and no matter how she go about things in the Villa, the franchise will be lacking her essence of entertainment.
Her mark in the series will not change, but will this season finally mark the time she chooses to fall in love? Or will we simply witness her yet another experience in the Villa becoming a jaw dropping new chapter in her Love Island drama?
Fans all over the world will wait for the day to find out. Until then, it most certainly is assured that Cülcüloğlu is ready to reclaim her title in the reality TV show and become the ultimate winner once again.
