Love Island’s Lucinda Strafford has shared her thoughts on her relationship with Sean Stone following a dramatic All Stars series.

The third series of Love Island All Stars wrapped up last month, with Samie Elishi and Ciaran Davies taking the crown as 2026’s winning couple. The programme delivered no shortage of explosive moments, featuring heated rows, bitter splits and complicated romantic triangles

Bombshell contestant Lucinda Strafford became a focal point of discussion during her stint in the villa, particularly after deciding to pursue a romance with Sean Stone. The pair faced scrutiny over the authenticity of their connection, though they eventually made things official and became a couple on the programme, reports OK!

Now, in the days since the series finale, Lucinda has revealed what lies ahead for her and Sean. During an appearance on the We Need To Talk podcast with Paul C Brunson, the host enquired: “So Sean, the quick thing that I just want to say or ask you about Sean is do you believe that you are in love with Sean?”

Lucinda responded: “Yes. Yeah, I think at the beginning, I didn’t say I love you back straight away. And that caused a bit of something I’ve seen. And to be totally honest, I definitely could have said it.”

She continued: “But I want to wait and just I don’t know, I think as a girl you just want another really cute special time. You can wait a little bit, but I definitely could have said it, you know?”

When questioned about her feelings, Lucinda confessed: “I felt it. There were so many times even before then, I kept wanting to say it and I just stopped and I think what I have with Sean is like, I’ve never experienced anything like it for my life.

“I don’t even know how to even explain it. Like, I genuinely feel like he is like the male version of me, but in the best way possible. As in, we’re very similar with like, our humour and the way that we are, but also at the same time, he sticks up for me.

“He is just so loyal, like he’s really loyal. And I feel like, yeah, I just can’t believe that I met someone like him on the show. I kept saying to the producers, where the hell have you found him from? I’m so happy.”

Host Paul then posed the question: “What makes Sean different from the other Love Islanders that you’ve paired off with?”.

Lucinda responded: “Sean is genuine. That is the main thing. He doesn’t want clout. He doesn’t want all of that coming with that. He is just genuine. And he just genuinely loves me, you know?”.

Lucinda had previously posted a photo of herself and Sean, captioned “a pair of pookie pies”, which received an outpouring of support from fans and loved ones.
