Love Island stars spark engagement rumours with hidden detail in Christmas snap
Love Island fans think Luca Bish is getting ready to propose to Grace Jackson after seeing this one small romantic detail in one of their Christmas photos together
Love Island All Stars runners-up Grace Jackson and Luca Bish have sent fans into a frenzy after a subtle detail in their festive Instagram post sparked engagement speculation. The couple, who met on the ITV2 dating series earlier this year, shared a carousel of photos from their first Christmas together, giving followers a glimpse into their holiday celebrations.
In the images, Grace and Luca are seen posing in front of a beautifully decorated Christmas tree, both dressed in coordinated white outfits, before heading out for a cosy winter walk. The snaps appeared sweet and low-key at first glance, but one particular photo quickly caught the attention of their loyal fanbase.
Among the festive images was a close-up shot of a padlock engraved with the words: “Luca and Grace Paris January 2026.” The romantic detail didn’t go unnoticed, with fans immediately taking to the comments to share their theories about what the engraving could mean.
Speculation quickly grew that Luca may be planning to propose during a romantic trip to Paris early next year. One fan commented, “Paris 2026 💍💍💍,” while another wrote, “Merry 1st Christmas together Luca & Grace… hmm what’s happening in Paris in Jan? Teasing us.” The subtle hint was enough to convince many followers that an engagement could be on the cards.
While neither Grace nor Luca has addressed the rumours directly, their relationship has shown no signs of slowing down since they left the villa. The couple’s romance continued to flourish after Love Island All Stars wrapped, with Luca previously making headlines for a lavish girlfriend proposal during a trip to Abu Dhabi.
During the getaway, Luca organised a romantic setup complete with white roses, candles, and a neon sign that read, “Will you be my girlfriend?” The grand gesture impressed many fans, though it also sparked some criticism. A few viewers were quick to point out similarities between this moment and how Luca asked his former Love Island partner Gemma Owen to be exclusive during their original series.
Despite the minor backlash, those close to the couple appear to be fully supportive of their relationship. Grace’s ex Reuben Collins, whom she coupled up with during her first Love Island appearance, recently shared his thoughts on her romance with Luca.
Speaking at the Nominal Fashion show in London, Reuben said, “I haven’t specifically met Luca before, but he seems cool, he seems like a great guy. Congrats — I’m just buzzing for them really.” He added, “And I like Grace, she’s a good girl. I expect nothing less for her, she deserves the best.”
Grace and Luca narrowly missed out on winning Love Island All Stars, finishing in second place behind Gabby Allen and Casey O’Gorman in a surprise result. Having been tipped as favourites to take the crown, some fans believe their chances were impacted by a dramatic revelation that emerged just 24 hours before the live final.
