"So sweet" — Love Island: All Stars fans react to Ronnie's speech for Harriett at the recoupling ceremony

Love Island: All Stars season 2 released episode 19 on January 31, 2025. It saw the cast members participate in a recoupling ceremony where the male islanders were given the opportunity to choose the woman each wanted to pair with. Ronnie coupled up with Harriett, making her cry with his emotional speech.

"I feel like the person I'm becoming is the person I've always wanted to be and that's all because of you," Ronnie said.

He was grateful to her for showing him what a relationship was meant to feel like. Ronnie added that he wanted to show her what he could offer, hoping to compensate her for everything she could not receive during their previous appearance on Love Island. The islanders cheered and clapped after Ronnie announced that the woman he wanted to be with was Harriett.

Harriett and Ronnie first appeared on season 11 of Love Island UK, leaving the show together despite facing multiple hurdles. However, their relationship failed to last and they eventually parted ways. Their romance rekindled after Harriett entered the All Stars' villa as a "bombshell" (newcomer), taking Ronnie by surprise.

Love Island: All Stars fans took to X to comment on Ronnie's recoupling ceremony speech. While many praised his effort and emotional confession, some remained skeptical about his dedication.

"Oh stop Ronnie’s speech for Harriet is acc so sweet. wth man," a fan wrote.

"Ronnie’s speech was beautiful can really see he loves Harriett hope you learnt Ronnie she’s a diamond," another fan commented.
