Who is Iain Stirling?: Personal life explored
Iain Stirling, born on January 27, 1988, is from Edinburgh, Scotland. He started his career back when he was in his final year of college at the University of Edinburgh.

Iain Stirling is narrating the ongoing season of the reality show. He is known for his humorous approach to the series and spoke to USA Insider last year as he mentioned that his counterparts from other versions of the show often ask him for advice. Speaking about finding humor in the format of the show, he said:
"I guess my only advice would be just [what’s funny]. The thing we’ve got lucky with Love Island is there’s a thing about it that is like, at its core, funny. Like, there’s something ridiculous about really good-looking people being in a house all the time, trying to flirt with each other. Like it’s so dumb! So like you, you’ve just got to f---ing zoom in on that and just keep that in your mind."
In 2020, Stirling married Laura in a humanist ceremony at Dublin City Hall, Ireland. The couple welcomed their first child, a daughter, Stevie Re, in March 2021. The couple enjoys spending time with their daughter and often share glimpses of their time together online. Laura recently took to Instagram to share a glimpse of Iain and their daughter on Father's Day.
"Shout out to the top dads! Was too busy celebrating them to post yesterday big up all the dads in all their forms x," she wrote.
The duo also shares pictures from their travels together and in January 2024, Laura wished her husband on his birthday as she uploaded images from their adventures over the years.
"This is 36! Happy Birthday @iaindoesjokes can’t imagine being on this adventure with anyone else," she captioned the post.
