After boarding the plane, the Turkish actress posted a video of her and Curtis playfully posing with their tongues out for a series of selfies.
In one shot, Curtis sweetly planted a kiss on his girlfriend Ekin-Su’s cheek after they made their romance official during their time in the villa.
‘Our personalities in one picture,’ she gushed in a caption.
Ekin-Su also shared a photograph of their fellow finalists Luca Bish and Grace Jackson, and Catherine Agbaje and Omar Nyame sleeping on the plane.
The three couples made it to the final alongside Gabby Allen and Casey O’Gorman, who were ultimately crowned the 2025 All Stars winners.
They took home a £50,000 cash prize after winning 33.37 per cent of the public vote, narrowly beating runners-up Luca and Grace, who nabbed 30.38 per cent.
Placing in third, Ekin-Su and Curtis were embroiled in their fair share of drama in the villa and addressed their clashes with rivals Elma Pazar, 32, and Sammy Root, 23.
Following the final, the couple spoke with former Love Island contestant Amy Hart on the Love Island: The Morning After podcast.

Addressing tensions with Elma and Sammy, Curtis said: ‘I feel like the situations that went on… I don’t want to say we were in the wrong or the right.’
‘But I feel like we weren’t in the wrong,’ he added.
Agreeing with Curtis, Ekin added: ‘I’m going to stand by that we were in the right. For me, that was not okay at the time.’
Amy also asked the couple who their closest friends were in the villa to which Ekin-Su highlighted Nas Majeed and Oliver ‘Chuggs’ Wallis as examples.
She added: ‘Catherine and Omar, I think Catherine’s one of my closest girls in here. Gabby, Grace… Elma, I do like but obviously in some situations, in that game thing, you kind of questioned a little bit.’
However, the star revealed they have now got past their differences as she added: ‘We’ve passed it now, you know.’
Towards the end of the series, viewers at home watched a rivalry between Ekin-Su and Elma grow.
The once close friends fell out when Ekin-Su gave Elma’s partner Sammy a peck on the lips during her wild heart rate challenge.
Before her routine, Ekin-Su promised Elma she would not kiss Sammy. However, the star got slightly carried away as she stamped a smooch on his lips during the challenge.
Throughout the end of the show, the pair engaged in several heated rows and Elma claimed she could ‘forgive’ her pal but would find it hard to ‘forget’ what she had done.
