LOVE Island might be gripping us with its non-stop drama, loverats, and shocks this summer but there is much more to the ITV2 dating show than tense re-couplings, and Casa Amor.
In fact, every so often the Islanders actually do manage to find a genuine connection, and even true love.

There are even babies that only exist as a direct consequence of the programme, with their parents meeting in that famous Majorca villa.
Over a dozen of our former Islanders have gone on to become parents - some with each other, others with their non-Islander partners.
Here, we take a look at Love Island's adorable little'uns.

Baby Vienna was the first ever Love Island baby, born in May 2017 to Cally-Jane and Luis - who met on the first series of the reality show back in 2015.
They finished in fourth place and welcomed their little girl two years later.
However, they split shortly after her birth - with Cally accusing Luis of cheating on her while she was pregnant.
