Love Island’s Austen Bugeja has received a lot of attention online, and it’s for all the right reasons, unlike resident walking red flags, Connor Howard and Callum Hole! 

The reality TV dating series is currently in its fourth season and, so far, there have been many twists added to the show to spice things up. In case you’ve never watched it, Love Island hosts a bunch of singles who are looking for a romantic connection within a villa. In each episode, curveballs and challenges are thrown at the contestants that could make or break their relationships. 

Throughout the season, new singles also join the cast, which could potentially hinder the relationships of the contestants who have already mingled and connected. 

Although we have written about the boys who definitely grind out gears, we have yet to address the angel in the villa, aka Austen.

Austen, who is dubbed as Love Island’s Jason Momoa, has been making waves online for not only his dreamy looks, but his wholesome ways. 

The saucy footballer from Western Sydney first began his Love Island journey with Layla.

However, things took a turn when Claudia, who was paired with Jordan, kissed Austen during a red flag challenge. Both contestants said that ‘sparks flew’ as soon as their lips touched. 

Of course, both Layla and Jordan were bummed once Claudia and Austen made it clear that they would be choosing each other at the next re-coupling ceremony. 

Once they chose each other, Austen was immediately pulled away alongside Callum for a one-on-one date with an incoming bomb, Maddy, but throughout the whole date, Austen displayed his loyalty towards Claudia, and it was super cute. 

Austen has admitted previously that he is a “hopeless romantic”, and we can definitely see that through his actions. 

Since they’ve been paired together, Austen has done so much for Claudia, even making an adorable picnic beside the pool and cooking for Claudia. They’ve become the IT couple of this season, kinda like if two school captains began dating.

His loyalty and his demeanour towards Claudia are things that all men can definitely take and put to good use when it comes to real life dating.

A lot of people have shared their thoughts on Austen online, both on TikTok and Twitter, and the love he’s receiving is wholesome AF:

Recently, Austen and Claudia have been rocked with Ex-Week, with Claudia’s ex Jordan joining the villa, but honestly, I can see this couple working through the tension and drama, and coming out on top. 

We stan Austen in this house! Or as the Love Island fans say, Clausten.
