One of Love Island’s most unpredictable couples has confirmed they are well and truly back on after leaving the villa apart.
Priya Jaswal and Aidan Murphy shared a video of themselves at the airport as they travelled home together and even unveiled their new couple nickname. The pair hard-launched their rekindled romance with a big snog, captioning the clip “Luton here we come!” ahead of their flight home from Mallorca.
“Praidan” made their public debut in the footage, complete with Aidan’s playful question: “Do you love me yet, Priya?” Priya smiled and said no, prompting him to fire back: “You don’t love me YET!”
Fans wasted no time reacting. One observer noted, “That was a very short breakup.” Another asked, “How do they have more chemistry then the winners?” A third admitted, “I have a weird feeling they’re gonna last longer than Lorenzo and Julia.”
The rapid reunion stands in sharp contrast to their exit. Priya and Aidan left the villa together but publicly agreed to remain friends. During the series Aidan had admitted he was open to exploring feelings for Yasmin and told Priya he struggled to develop “deeper feelings” for her. On the ITV2 spin-off Aftersun, however, Priya performed a clear U-turn when pressed by Maya Jama.
“It was a kick in the teeth when he [Aidan] said about the deeper feelings,” she said. “I’ve said 90 percent of me cut it off when I left that villa there. 90 percent cut it off because I can’t be a mug. But the heart of me, the 10 percent of me, we’ve gravitated towards each other for two, three weeks now. There’s something there that I can’t get away from.”
By the live final the pair confirmed they had decided to go official. Asked how things were going, Aidan offered: “We had a great night. Yesterday we bonded on Aftersun. We maybe had a little kiss.” Priya added: “Since we’ve left, me and Aidan have had a great time, to be honest with you. It’s just been the two of us and kind of exploring things, but it’s still on my terms. He’s putting the graft in.”
Things appear to be moving quickly. The couple have already updated fans that Priya is in Aidan’s hometown of Kent and has even met the family.
For a pairing that spent much of their villa time oscillating between connection and doubt, the airport makeout and immediate post-show domesticity represent a decisive plot twist. Whether “Praidan” can sustain the momentum beyond the baggage claim remains the next chapter, but for now the couple that left as friends has returned as something far more intentional—and the internet is watching.
