As of January 2024, the Love Island alumni has over 300,00 followers on the social media platform Instagram - where he describes himself as an ''Entrepreneur''.

When was Luis Morrison on Love Island?

Luis Morrison first starred on Love Island back in 2015.

The former footballer appeared on the series alongside fellow islanders Jessica Hayes, Hannah Elizabeth, Jon Clark, Max Morley, Joshua Ritchie, and Cally Jane Beech.

He coupled up with Cally Jane Beech and got all the way to the final, with the pair later finishing in fourth place.

After the show, Luis and Cally welcomed Love Island's first baby, Vienna in 2017, but sadly split a year later.

The Love Island couple then reconciled before later splitting once again.

On January 7, 2024, it was revealed that Luis Morrison had signed up for Love Island All Stars.

The spin-off series will see a number of Love Island legends step foot in the villa once more in a bid to find love.

When asked why he was returning to the famous villa, Luis revealed to ITV: ''It was the best experience of my life. I found love in the Villa before and who knows if I can find love in there again?''

The islander also opened up on his approach when it comes to looking for love this time around, and why he thinks the villa is the perfect place for romance to blossom.

Luis continued: ''I’m a lot older and wiser, so I know what I am getting myself into. I don’t have a game plan at all - I am an open book so I will go with the flow and see what happens.''

Discussing why the villa is the perfect place for match-making, the Love Island star added: ''I feel like it’s the best place to find different connections. I am confident I will find a connection again.''

The highly anticipated new series, hosted by Maya Jama, will launch on January 15, at 9pm on ITV2.

In December 2023, The Sun revealed how the former footballer was in 'advanced talks' for the South Africa show.

Who has Luis Morrison dated?

In 2018, The Sun revealed that Luis Morrison and Cally Jane Beech had made the decision to split for a second time, three years after their stint on Love Island.

Following their split, Luis later started dating Chloe Elizabeth and the pair welcomed their son, Romeo, into the world in 2022.
