Love Island couple spark rumours they’re secretly engaged a year after leaving the villa
The duo previously claimed their Love Isand experience was 'not real'
A LOVE Island fan-favourite couple have sparked rumours they are secretly engaged following a loved-up holiday.
The duo recently captured their romantic getaway to Zanzibar on Instagram.
Yet Shaq Muhammad, 25, has now shared an extra-special snippet of the getaway – this being his stunning beach-side arrangements to mark partner Tanya Mahenga’s birthday.
The absolutely stunning settings saw a canopy adorned with flowers and a dining table placed in the middle.
Petals had been strewn across the beach and lined the way to the special arrangement, which left model Tanya, 24, gobsmacked.
They were then served up delicious food and cocktails before the beauty, clearly emotional, burst into tears.
Shaq made reference to a proposal in his video caption – but some thought it was a double bluff.
He wrote: “This is just her birthday imagine when I propose,” before adding a cheeky Emoji icon to hint at more.
He continued: “Thank you for helping me in making my baby’s birthday one to remember.”
One fan was quick to write: “I thought it was the proposal love u guys.”
A second put: “Had me thinking you did propose!”
Meanwhile, his Love Island pal Dami Hope wrote: “Where’s the proposal,” to which Shaq quipped back: “After I see yours.”
The lovebirds met on the ninth series of Love Island at the beginning of 2023.
Although they had a rocky romance on the show, they proved things are still going strong and took the next step to move in together.
The pair previously took a dig at Love Island bosses and told how their experience on the show was “not real.”
They took things one step further to say that some scenarios were the “complete opposite” of what actually happened.
