"Luca Is A Simp 1000%"
"I like them together. He’s already said he finds talking about his emotions hard so I thought this was really genuine and him trying to show how much he likes her. I don’t think either of them expected to fall for each other the way they have, be happy for people," a fan commented.

"Luca is such a lover boy, i love that for grace," a person wrote.
"This whole Grace is forcing Luca to be with her narrative is so lame please like the man likes her very much let it go ! Like idk how is so hard to understand anyway Grace is not only gorgeous but the way she carries herself got him wrapped around her finger," a fan commented.
"Luca and Grace are really into each other…who would’ve have thought getting to know someone for 3 weeks would weight more than an Instagram dm like it’s crazy !" a tweet read.
Fans of Love Island: All Stars season 2 further said:
"Hope you’re happy Luca and Grace. I really don’t like Luca. All he’s been speaking about is wishing Samie could come in, she did, he kissed her and then backed off cause he was scared of Grace," a person wrote.

In Love Island: All Stars season 2 episode 26, the islanders received a text message asking them to gather around the fire pit. The message further revealed that it was time for another recoupling ceremony and that the power lay in the male islanders' hands.
Luca and Grace, who briefly parted ways after the audience paired the male Love Island: All Stars season 2 star with bombshell, Samie, reunited after a heartwarming speech by Luca. Ahead of revealing his decision, he said that the last few days hadn't been easy. However, the only thing that hadn't changed for him was how he felt about Grace.
"Everyone knew I was instantly attracted to her but what's made me fall for you is what I've found out about you and inside you," Luca said.
