<\/p>\nLove Island couple Whitney Adebayo and Lochan Nowacki have delighted fans with a heartwarming relationship update, just two weeks after their departure from the villa.

Lochan, 25, took to social media to share a heartwarming moment between the two. In the clip, the couple is seen enjoying a cosy dinner at home. With a toast, Lochan officially declared the status of their relationship: "Cheers to our second week out of the villa, your favourite dinner made by the one and only and to you being my girlfriend…"<\/p>\n

Lochan continued: "I didn\u2019t have as long a journey but it was an amazing feeling. I felt so blessed. I could have left two weeks ago and been happy and I think it was the same for Whitney. We took everything in."<\/p>\n
Whitney has been busy since leaving the villa, teaming up with fellow islander Tyrique Hyde to work on releasing their talent show song that proved to be a massive hit with the show's viewers. <\/p>\n
The talent show segment of Love Island showcased their performance of a rap titled "Bad B," which was a hit with both the Islanders and the show's host, Maya Jama. <\/p>\n
Although Whitney and Tyrique haven't officially announced the release of their single, hints have been dropping on social media, especially TikTok, where Tyrique has teased their collaboration. A recent post featuring Whitney singing her part of the rap captioned "We cookin" has sparked excitement among fans. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
