Love Island winner was just spotted at Toronto bar
One of the winners of the 2026 Love Island season made a pit stop at a popular King West-area hangout while visiting Toronto.
If you are anything like me, a key part of Toronto summers is going to the beach, maybe grabbing a cheeky patio drink with friends, and picking up a bottle of wine on the way home to see what the singles on Love Island are up to six nights a week.
Good news for lovers of the awkward challenges, sneaky kisses and meme-able cast members: one of the 2026 season eight Love Island winners, Bryce Alakai, just made his Cherry's High Dive debut.
In a photo posing with Canadian-American dancer, singer, and choreographer Joshua Beauchamp at the King West neighbourhood hangout, Akalai captioned the post "Thank you Toronto, one of the best nights.", following his DJ set at History on Thursday night.
The carousel post included other goodies, with Akalai posing in front of the CN Tower and a snapshot of him sporting an Auston Matthews Toronto Maple Leafs jersey during his DJ set.
Akalai, who rose to stardom for his charismatic lover-boy persona and has since found further success as an electronic music DJ, has a sound that blends House, EDM, and UK Garage, drawing inspiration from legends such as Skrillex and Fred Again.
You're probably wondering where Trinity Tatum, fellow season eight winner and Akalai's partner in crime, who is usually seen in attendance supporting and dancing alongside Akalai at his shows, was. She was, unfortunately, not in attendance, but left a message for Akalai under his post, commenting, "I have fomo."
Maybe Tatum and Akalai will make another Toronto appearance soon, feeding Love Island fanatics with more of their favourite spots to stop by while in the city.
