The reality television show, Love Island Australia, has concluded its 2025 season, with Yana and Kye emerging as the winners. After weeks filled with surprises, romantic developments, and dramatic eliminations, the couple has claimed the title and a cash prize during the highly anticipated finale.
The final three couples included Ross and Sharn, Jotham and Jaide, alongside the exes-turned-lovers Yana and Kye. In a twist this season, the winners were not given the option to either split or keep the prize money for themselves, which has become a staple during previous seasons. Given their history, it is widely assumed that Yana and Kye will share the winnings amicably.
Prize Money and Unique Twist
Typically, winners of Love Island Australia receive a cash prize of $50,000. However, this year, the total prize was reduced to $30,000. The change stemmed from an unexpected twist introduced by host Sophie Monk. Prior to the finale, Monk offered islanders a chance to take $20,000 from the prize pot. The first contestant to accept the offer would keep the money but be automatically eliminated from the competition, along with their partner.
In a surprising move, contestant Dylan chose to take the money, leading to the elimination of his partner Kodi. Following his decision, Monk revealed that the $20,000 was deducted from the overall prize, resulting in the final amount being lowered to $30,000.
As the season wraps up, fans are encouraged to catch up on the show through streaming on 9Now or check out weekly recaps from PEDESTRIAN.TV on TikTok for the latest updates and highlights from the villa.
