Molly Smith and Tom Clare have officially tied the knot. The couple, who captured the first Love Island: All Stars crown in 2024, confirmed their marriage on Instagram.
A Surprise Ceremony
The newly married pair shared a photograph of themselves kissing under a shower of flower petals. Their social media announcement simply read, “just married.”
Molly, 32, opted for a chic white short-sleeved mini dress. She completed her bridal look with a matching pillbox hat and a netted veil.
Tom, 26, kept things classic for the occasion, wearing a tailored black suit and a dark tie.

Molly also uploaded a close-up shot to her Instagram story, resting her hand over Tom’s. The image highlighted their wedding bands against a bridal bouquet, captioned: “Husband and wife.”
From All Stars to the Altar
The romance began two years ago when the pair returned to the reality TV circuit for the debut season of Love Island: All Stars. The spin-off format brings former contestants back to the villa for a second shot at romance.
Tom and Molly ultimately won the series, defeating Molly’s ex-boyfriend Callum Jones and his then-partner Jessica Gale, who finished as runners-up.
Before their winning run, Molly appeared in the show’s sixth series in 2020. She originally left that season with Jones, sparking a three-year relationship before they eventually split.
Tom, a footballer for Hyde United, previously competed in the 2023 winter edition. He secured third place alongside his former partner, Samie Elishi.
Building a Life Together
The wedding follows a lavish proposal last September. Tom popped the question in Dubai outside the iconic Burj Al Arab luxury hotel, surrounding Molly with candles and fresh flowers.
Their professional lives have also merged in recent months. Earlier this year, the newlyweds took over the NearlyWeds podcast, stepping into the hosting roles previously held by reality stars Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo.
Fellow Love Island alumni flooded social media to celebrate the union. Former winner Casey O’Gorman publicly congratulated the couple, calling the ceremony the “best day.”
TikTok creator GK Barry and Sophie Piper, who placed third on their All Stars season, also shared their support for the newlyweds.
