However, after a series of posts on TikTok and Instagram where Shakira wasn’t mentioned, fans feared they may have split.
Now Harry has cleared things up with a string of what he’s been up to lately – with a loved up snap with Shakira taking centre stage.
In the photo, the couple are seen at dinner taking a selfie with their tongues touching as they poke them out for the pic.
Another saw Shakira sitting on Harry’s lap while on a date night, with Harry having a protective arm around her as they pulled faces for the camera.
He captioned the pics: “Embracing this silly life 🤪”
The string of pics – which included Harry taking mirror selfies, deep in interviews and posing with winner Cach Mercer, came to the delight of fans who were wanting updates.
Soon Islanders past and present were also getting involved, with Dami Hope, who appeared in the 2022 summer season, writing: “You’re doing amazing sweetie x”
“You are a lucky guy to have Shakira ❤️🙌👍🏻” wrote another fan, to which Harry responded, “Very”.
“Love is sweet” said a third, prompting Harry to reply “So Sweet”.
Harry and Shakira placed second on this year’s finale, being beaten by Cach and American islander Toni Laites.
At the time of the show ending, they were the only couple who didn’t label themselves “exclusive”, with Harry saying he “didn’t see the point”.
He later clarified his comments, explaining that he “didn’t understand what exclusive meant” away from the confines of the villa, where bombshells were thrown in to tempt islanders away from their current couple.
Appearing on Joe Baggs’ Not My Bagg podcast, Harry explained why he didn’t decide to put that label on the pair – and doesn’t ever plan to.
“I’m not here for like, ‘Oh, we’re exclusive’, or making a big thing out of being exclusive,” he said. “The thing for us would be boyfriend and girlfriend.
“Obviously, we’re not there yet but when it comes. It was never going to be ‘Do you want to be exclusive?’”
“I think that goes without saying, from my side, at least, I only have eyes for her after I got back with her in the villa, and now on the outside world, it’s the same thing.
“I’ve got no interest in anyone else.”
