The social worker and PE teacher, who fell for one another during the Casa Amor trip and were bookies’ favourites, were speechless after host Maya Jama announced the results during Monday’s live final in South Africa.
Tom Clare and Samie Elishi placed third, while airport security officer Shaq Muhammad, 24, and Tanya Manhenga, 22 were the first out.
After their win, Sanam told Maya, 28,: ‘I can’t believe it’, while Kai was lost for words with Ron and Lana proving gracious runners-up as they congratulated the couple with the rest of the finalists.
Like every romance on the show, they have had a rough ride – with Kai’s former love interest Olivia left furious when his head was turned in Casa Amor – as was hers.
But Kai’s decision to re-couple with Sanam has proven to be a worthy one as they have remained strong ever since.
Before Maya announced the first couple who missed out on winning the show, footage aired of the last day in the villa.
The girls enjoyed one last boy free trip ahead of the Love Island ball – where many L-bombs were dropped for the first time in emotional speeches.
During the touching moment, Sanam told Kai: ‘You charmed with your smile, you always managed to make me laugh. You made me feel like a princess and the only girl in the world. I can’t wait for you to come round to my house and for my mum to cook you Caribbean food. You’ve shown me my worth.’
To which he replied: ‘When I came into the villa. I struggled to find love. Then at Casa I found you. The most caring, beautiful, girl I’ve ever met. Every conversation we have draws me closer to you. I don’t think I’ve ever met someone as compatible as you. My time in here is literally been in a dream with you. I can’t wait for what the future has in store for us.’
Kai went on to praise their similarities such as their passion to work with children to want to make a difference in the world.
Taking to Twitter after the segment, fans of the ITV2 show claimed their words were ‘perfect’, and that they didn’t find the speech ‘cringey’ for the first time.
One wrote, ‘Sanam and Kai’s speech was so perfect #loveisland,’ with another adding, ‘Kai’s speech for Sanam was precious #Loveisland.’
