'Love Island Australia's' First Same-Sex Couple Is Here - Here's What Viewers Had To Say

Phoebe and Cassie have coupled up in a history making move - by Grace Back
  • 15 Oct 2019

Love Island Australia's Monday night episode saw the franchise's first-ever same-sex coupling. Phoebe Thompson and Cassie Lansdell chose to explore their growing connection during the episode, which sent fellow islander Sam Withers packing from the Fijian villa. 

Watch Below: Love Island's Maurice Exposed By Secret Girlfriend. 

Phoebe and Cassie first noticed a bond after sharing a kiss during a group challenge. Cassie was still paired with Adam Farrugia, while intruder Phoebe was single. 

“There’s definitely something there and we get on really well,” Cassie said during her piece-to-camera. “We just need to spend more time together.”

Former Bachelor star Megan Marx told HuffPost Australia that seeing a same-sex relationship evolve on Australia was a long time coming. 

“I’ve just realised we haven’t seen a relationship actually play out on a mainstream reality show,” the 31-year-old reality star said. “There has been talk, and last season on Bachelor In Paradise we got a kiss and of course a few contestants have same-sex dated after the show,  but wow, it would be awesome to see two women or two men fall head over heels in love on a reality show. Australia has been ready for a while for something like this.” 

Below, what viewers had to say about Cassie and Phoebe's relationship.
