Tyra and Kale were crowned winners on Channel Nine’s Love Island Australia during Monday’s dramatic season finale.
The lovebirds split the $50,000 prize money after host Sophie Monk announced them fan favourites sealing the top viewers votes over the other finalists, Savanah and Clint and Lucinda and Zac.
Tyra, 23, from Queensland’s Sunshine Coast revealed later she was heading off with Kale, 25, to his hometown of Perth to meet her beau’s mum and dad.
‘I couldn’t be more excited for what’s next for me and the future with Tyra,’ an excited Kale said after the win.
‘We have so many exciting things coming up already. It’s amazing how bubbly and uplifting her presence is, she can light up a room with one smile.’
An excited Tyra added: ‘Kale is everything I could ever ask for in a partner and more. The most kind and considerate man I’ve ever met. We’ve got so many plans, kicking it all off with a trip over to Perth to meet Kale’s family. I am stoked.’
Taking to social media ahead of the final verdict, Tyra shared a message paying tribute to the show and her friends:
‘A big shoutout to my crazy housemates, the most hardworking production crew, and to everyone who has been following along at home.

The saucy series was pre-filmed in Mallorca, Spain, in a lavish villa which featured a ‘fancy’ new fire pit, complete with colourful new pillows and upholstery.
And in a world first the Love Island Australia’s villa this season featured a small love-heart shaped ‘Consent Heart’ button next to every bed.
The button allowed couples to announce they are both comfortable with whatever is going on between the sheets.
