Oh, I Kissed A Girl, you will be missed. The second season of this BBC Three hit show has touched the community in more ways than one. It gave us style inspo, flirting tips, cringe-worthy moments that have haunted our dreams, and so much representation. That Masseria will forever hold a special place in our hearts.
Following the final episodes aired yesterday, here’s everything we know right now about the love lives of these contestants.
Faye
One of the fan-favourites from this season was Faye. Although she was the first to leave, she made a huge impression on our hearts. Since the show has aired, Faye seems to be having her best summer yet, hanging out with IKAG alumni like Amy Spalding. She hasn’t publicly commented on her relationship status.
Renee
We absolutely loved seeing Renee’s journey in the Masseria. After initially coupling up with Lindsey, Renee started to explore a connection with her closest friend Ashlea. While the pair didn’t work out in the end, it seems like romance was waiting in the outside world for this castmate. Renee posted a video captioned: “POV: me and my gf getting lit together all summer.” Her girlfriend, Rochelle, who is a content creator and makeup artist, has been posting adorable couple pics and videos of the pair.
Ashlea
One of our style icons for the series, Ashlea, won over fans by being unapologetically herself and not afraid to say she was a U-hauler at heart. While her connection with Renee didn’t end up working out, fans still loved to see her friendships grow in the Masseria. She hasn’t publicly commented on her relationship status.
Ebony
This Geordie had us cracking up all summer! While there were a few bumps along the way, Ebony was sorely missed when she left the Masseria. Since the show has aired, Ebony has been posting pics with the cast and enjoying the IKAG frenzy that has followed. She hasn’t publicly commented on her relationship status.
Imogen
After a summer of love, that terrace argument and lots of iconic strutting, we can’t quite get over the fact that we won’t be seeing Imogen on our screens again. After choosing herself on the show, Imogen has posted about the power of the platonic friendships that she’s made on IKAG. She hasn’t publicly commented on her relationship status.
Tyra
This Scottish contestant won everyone over with her incredible wardrobe. While she may not have found love in the Masseria, Tyra told DIVA that going on the show helped her confidence massively. Since the show aired, Tyra has been blessing our feeds with her fit checks. She hasn’t publicly commented on her relationship status.
Sophie
Late arrival Sophie may not have had much time in the Masseria, but fans loved watching her friendships blossom on the show. Since the show has aired, Sophie has been seen enjoying walking in Pride in London and sharing her love for fellow castmate Josie. She hasn’t publicly commented on her relationship status.
Josie
Another contestant who arrived fashionably late to the Masseria was Josie. Although she didn’t find love under Dannii Minogue’s roof, fans were lining up to slide into her DMs after the show. Since IKAG has aired, Josie has become one of the faces for the lesbian sexual wellness brand Labeless. She hasn’t publicly commented on her relationship status.
Blessing
Although Blessing formed a connection with Lindsey in the Masseria, in the end things didn’t work out for the pair. Since the show, Blessing has been sharing content with the cast, alongside promoting the short film she stars in called Catfight. She hasn’t publicly commented on her relationship status.
Lindsey
We already miss seeing this icon on our screens. Although Lindsey formed connections with both Renee and Blessing on the show, she left the Masseria single. As a self-proclaimed social-media avoider, we don’t know too much about what she’s been up to since the show, but we can imagine it involves a lot of fantastic outfits. She hasn’t publicly commented on her relationship status.
Almayra
We loved seeing Almayra on our screens this summer. By chatting about celibacy, asexuality and being a queer Muslim, she provided vital representation for viewers everywhere. After exploring a couple of connections, Almayra was joined by Kayleigh at the final Kiss Off. However, wedding bells were not ringing for this couple when Kayleigh didn’t turn for Almayra. Since the show aired, Almayra has been posting content with her twin sister and generally looking effortlessly cool. She hasn’t publicly commented on her relationship status.
Kayleigh
Fashion queen and party girl of the Masseria Kayleigh was coupled up with Almayra by the end of the series. Although she didn’t turn for Almayra, it’s clear that she’s found so much queer platonic love in the friendships she made on the show. Since the show aired, Kayleigh has also been posting videos of her latest music and even did a Pride takeover show for the Sigilradio The Xtra Edit. She hasn’t publicly commented on her relationship status.
Pippa and Nikita
True love exists in the Masseria! This pair have very adorably hard-launched that their relationship has flourished on the outside world. From travelling the world to long-distance FaceTimes, it seems like Cupid’s arrow managed to strike in the Masseria. Check out our exclusive interview with the pair now.
Elisha and Elise
Elisha and Elise seemed to have a fairytale romance inside the Masseria. They were practically joined at the hip, even making things official on the show. Although they turned for each other in the final Kiss Off, the pair have announced that things didn’t work outside the show. However, it’s clear that they both hold a lot of platonic love and respect for one another.
