Toby Aromolaran, the 26-year-old footballer-turned-reality TV heartthrob, is gearing up for yet another shot at love. The Sun has exclusively revealed that the Love Island veteran is set to make waves in the U.S. with his fourth appearance on the franchise, this time joining the cast of Love Island Games for its highly anticipated second series. Filming is slated to kick off in the picturesque paradise of Fiji in just a few days, and Toby is ready to bring his charm—and maybe a little chaos—to the global stage.
Toby first captured hearts on the seventh series of the UK’s Love Island, where he finished as runner-up alongside then-girlfriend Chloe Burrows. Their romance, though electric on-screen, fizzled out after just over a year. Undeterred, Toby ventured into the inaugural Love Island Games in 2023, a spin-off that pits fan-favorite Islanders from around the world against each other in a mix of steamy challenges and romantic pursuits. His first Games stint was brief, but it only fueled his determination to return and make it to the final.
A source close to the production told The Sun, “Toby’s back in Fiji, and he’s not here to play it safe. He’s got his eyes on the prize—both love and the win. Filming starts soon, and he’s ready to make this his moment.” When approached for comment, Toby’s agent kept it coy, simply stating, “No comment.”
Toby’s reality TV journey has been nothing short of relentless. After his Love Island Games debut, he returned to the UK for Love Island All Stars, where he sparked a connection with Georgia Steel. Their romance, which began during Games and blossomed in the South African villa, seemed promising but crumbled shortly after the show ended. Now, with his fourth villa appearance, Toby is poised to become the most seasoned Love Island contestant ever, a title that cements his status as a reality TV juggernaut.
Beyond the villa, Toby has kept himself busy on the small screen. From stirring pots (literally) on E4’s Celebrity Cooking School to embracing wellness on The Big Celebrity Detox, he’s proven he’s more than just a romantic hopeful. Yet, it’s his undeniable charisma and knack for drama that keep producers—and fans—coming back for more.
The upcoming Love Island Games series promises a fresh batch of global Islanders, with UK stars like All Stars winner Gabby Allen, series 11’s Harriett Blackmore, and recent Islander Remell Mullings expected to join the fray. With challenges designed to test both hearts and strategy, the show offers a $100,000 prize for the winning couple, alongside the chance to find a lasting connection.
As Toby prepares to step back into the villa, all eyes are on whether this fourth attempt will finally lead him to love—or at least make for some unforgettable TV. Will he find his match, or is he destined to remain reality TV’s most lovable “villain”? One thing’s for sure: Toby Aromolaran is ready to shake up Fiji and the U.S. screens like never before.
