Brendan is from South Africa, but he is currently playing for the Japanese team Canon Eagles. He has been busy showing her around the area.
But Paige’s new relationship is likely to make her TV bosses upset, since she’s rumored to be in the next season of Love Island All Stars.
Paige is one of many people who want to be on All Stars, and they’ve been talking about it for a while.
One person who knows Paige well, however, told me that she is currently in Japan with her new boyfriend Brendan Owen.
It’s been really sweet that he’s been taking her on trips around the country.
She’s very happy, but it will be hard to have a real relationship. For now, they’re just having it while they can.
This month, The Sun reported that Paige is being considered for the 2025 season of Love Island All Stars, which starts in the new year.
The Welsh nurse was on the ITV2 reality show in 2022, and the network wants her back.
When Paige fell in love with Jacques O’Neil during her first stint, she won over fans’ hearts.
But as their relationship grew, many people took to Twitter to say that rugby player Jacques was “manipulating” her. Some people even used words like “scary” and “gaslighting” to describe him.
Paige Thorne of Love Island was warned about a risky move after she got “washed up” in a storm.
After saying he cheated on her with other girls during the show’s Casa Amor stage, Jacques left the Love Island home.
While this was going on, Paige left him for Love Island jerk Adam Collard.
Their quick-fire romance didn’t last long, though. It ended soon after the show finished.
After pictures of Adam partying with other women came out, the two had a public fight.
Love Island All Stars 2025 rumours
Love Island All Stars will be back for its second series in 2025 – and rumours are already rife as to who will be making a comeback this time around.
After the second All Stars series was announced in May, show boss Mike Spender said: “Lots of people have been in contact about it, lots of fun people, from series one onwards.
“We cast it because we knew what was going on behind the scenes of who was getting with who and now even more stories have come out.
“I think we will now save ex-islanders for All Stars.”
One rumoured name for the next series is data engineer Harry Baker.
Harry, 25, arrived in the villa as a bombshell in Series 11. He soon ‘stole’ Grace Jackson after making his debut.
Arriving late in the run, he only lasted for a few days before being dumped alongside Lola Deloca.
Despite the hunk’s brief stint, viewers have called for Harry’s return.
One upset fan wrote: “Get you in All Stars next”, to which Harry cryptically replied by posting ‘shrugging’ emojis.
Since leaving the villa, Paige has returned to her career as a paramedic, earning praise for going back to her normal job.
But last month, a source told The Sun: “Paige was in talks to do All Stars earlier this year, but things didn’t quite work out, and she didn’t make the final cut.
“This time around, producers are really keen to have her back. They think she is the perfect addition to spice things up.”
