Love Overboard was all about formed connections — but which couples are still dating and who has broken up?
The dating series, which premiered on Wednesday, March 26, was hosted by Gabby Windey and followed a concept where “ingles board a lavish yacht seeking romance, but accessing its luxuries comes with challenges,” according to the synopsis.
“As they navigate love and betrayal on the high seas, only one pair will emerge victorious,” read the rest of the description for the Hulu series, which filmed in June 2025.
In the penultimate episode, there were eight pairs remaining as the contestants had to vote who was the most compatible couple. Those couples included Tim and Gia, Lexi and James, Delaney and Keif, Christine and Jake, and David and Val. The three couples eliminated were: Reece and Sofia, Enna and Andrew, and Leela and Koray.
The finale surprised Us with Delaney and Keif self-eliminating as James and Lexi — and Tim and Gia — cast their vote for David and Val. Meanwhile David and Val voted for Tim and Gia while new couple Christine and Jake decided to vote for themselves to end their time on the ship.
Gia and Tim received the most votes and became the winners against James and Lexi and David and Val. The prize was a $100,000 trip around the world but did Tim and Gia stay together? According to social media, Tim and Gia still follow each other on social media and appear on good terms but their exact relationship status is still unclear.
Val, meanwhile, took to Instagram to address her time on the show.
“Hey everyone, I know there’s been a lot of curiosity about what happened after the show. I appreciate everyone’s interest, but I’m asking for my privacy while I process things in my own time. I’ll share my story when I’m ready, and on my terms,” she wrote. “Until then, I hope we can all respect each other’s journeys without trying to sensationalize them. Thank you guys for all your love and support.”
Before the show premiered, Windey reflected on her approach as host, telling Bustle, “I’m just trying to hype up the girls as much as I can. Dating in the real world, we know how often women fall victim to f***boys. I want to remind them, ‘Girl, you’re so hot. Act like it. Make them work for it.’”
She concluded: “I have favorites. I can’t help it. I’m very opinionated. I’m like, “Are you sure you want to go with this guy?” I want to guide them, like, “Girl, [pick] this one. But to them, I try to be very objective and keep my expressions under wraps, [though] I don’t know if it’s ever working.”
Love Overboard is currently streaming on Hulu.
