Love Island star recalls having a threesome with sports star as people watched
The Love Island contestants have only been in a villa for a week - but they're already spilling all their deepest secrets to one another, as Toni opens up on her NFL encounter It's been an eventful week in Love Island - with the Islanders engaging in some intense conversations. Yesterday, Yasmin asked whether Dejon would have a threesome with her and Toni, and today the conversation continued with Toni's shock revelation. During a chat at the beanbags during tonight's episode, the naughty trio were back with their intimate conversations, as Toni made a wild confession. The star, who resides in Las Vegas told Yasmin and Dejon she had previously had a threesome with an NFL player and a p**n star. That's not all, as she said the encounter took place in a room full of people. "Me, p**n star, NFL player, infront of a whole party," Toni admitted. Dejon and Yasmin were left in shock as Dejon asked: "Everyone was watching?!" Like Dejon, fans took to X, formerly known as Twitter to express their shock as one tweeted: "nfl player??? #LoveIsland" tweeted one shocked fan, while another penned: "in front of everyone with a p**n star & NFL player wtf?!" However, Dejon's Meg was left less than impressed with the chat, as she pulled Toni and Yasmin for a chat. She told them she didn't appreciate the trio having sexual chats, deeming it "disrespectful". The group failed to make amends during their chat - as Meg told the rest of the girls she felt like "a mug". It's not the first time Dejon has been in trouble this week. Dejon, Harry and Shea landed in hot water when their plan was exposed during Monday night's challenge. The trio 'rigged' the game to make sure they kissed who they fancied. Dejon kissed Malisha, Harry kissed ex Shakira, as Shea kissed Tommy's partner Megan. It didn't go down well with Helena, Meg and Megan, who decided to get revenge on the boys with their own 'gameplan'. Before new bombshell Harrison arrived in the villa with Toni, the trio decided to pretend they were interesting in getting to know him to scare the boys. 'Even if we don't think he's [Harrison] fit, shall we be like, 'Oh he's a bit of me'?' Helena asked the girls, as Meg agreed: 'All this game playing they've been doing [the boys].' However, it looks like their gameplan may have back fired, as the boys also had Harrison on their mind. Tommy wondered if Harrison will come in and try to break up a strong couple, but Dejon added: 'To be honest, the more he does, the more leeway we've got to cause havoc!' Harry then responded: 'If he goes and kisses Helena, I'm flying mate! That'd be so good, I didn't even think of that!'

"She provides what Travis Hunter wants": The 'real reason' Travis Hunter marrying Leanna Lenee is more than just vows
As Jacksonville Jaguars rookie Travis Hunter steps into the NFL spotlight, he's also preparing for another life-defining moment — one that has nothing to do with football. The No. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now 2 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft is set to marry his longtime girlfriend, Leanna Lenee, this weekend in Chattanooga, Tennessee. It's a milestone that comes just months after he hoisted the Heisman Trophy, cementing his place as one of college football's most electrifying players. Leanna Lenee and Travis Hunter's weekend wedding turns heads after sports podcaster's surprising revelation While fans and analysts continue to dissect his future on the field, Travis Hunter is making it clear that off-field stability matters just as much to him — if not more. Hunter and Leanna have been together since 2022, quietly building a bond that would weather the pressures of rising fame. Their engagement was announced in February last year, and ever since, Leanna has been a constant presence at Hunter's side. She's shared in his most triumphant moments, from celebrating his Heisman win to supporting him on NFL Draft night. And in a touching gesture, she even gifted him a Rolex and a bracelet to commemorate the beginning of his pro career. Their journey is one of mutual support, and that's precisely what makes their relationship unique. Critics may question the timing — with Hunter just beginning his NFL journey — but for him, the decision to marry now isn't impulsive. It's intentional. 'I'm going to marry her once my NFL career starts,' Hunter had declared last year. And true to his word, he's keeping that promise. Jeff Barnes, host of the Smoke Somethin, Drink Somethin podcast, offered rare insight into what drives this relationship. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now In his words, 'As long as she provides Travis Hunter what Travis Hunter wants, which is stability. Once he got that stability with her, he feels he plays his maximum football because she is beside him… It's not about her, it's about him.' Why Travis Hunter Is Still Getting Married? #travishunter #deionsanders #skobuffs #nfl For Hunter, it's clear: emotional consistency translates to peak performance. Barnes even noted that the wide receiver/cornerback didn't request a prenuptial agreement — a surprising move given the millions at stake. But to Hunter, true partnership isn't about legal documents. It's about trust and freedom. 'The real prenup,' as Barnes put it, is the ability to live without restriction — knowing that his partner won't limit him, but instead, empower him. Hunter's father will be attending the wedding, thanks to a last-minute courtroom decision, adding a layer of emotional weight to an already meaningful event. While some public voices continue to scrutinize the couple's relationship and question Leanna's past, Hunter remains focused on what truly matters to him — peace, stability, and love. For a 22-year-old stepping into one of the most demanding professions in the world, Hunter's priorities reflect maturity beyond his years. This weekend isn't just about a wedding; it's about building a life — one that's rooted in trust, resilience, and a shared vision for the future. And as Hunter steps into the next chapter — both as a pro athlete and a husband — one thing is certain: he's not just playing to win games. He's playing for something far deeper. Also Read:
