Love Island 2024 star Samantha Kenny has finally shut down swirling rumors that she’s dating reality TV favorite Pete Wicks — and her revelation has left fans stunned.
After weeks of speculation and countless social media whispers, Samantha decided to clear the air once and for all. In an interview on June 25, 2025, she confirmed that she and Pete are “just really good friends.”
“Me and Pete are friends… We’re just really good friends,” Samantha said firmly.
Fans had been convinced that sparks were flying between the two ever since Samantha left the Love Island villa. Paparazzi photos and cheeky online comments only fueled the rumors. But Samantha’s candid confession puts an end to the romance fantasy that many had been shipping online.
The two reportedly connected through mutual friends and have stayed in touch ever since. But despite the hopeful fan theories, there’s no romantic relationship blossoming behind the scenes.
Samantha’s straightforward approach has been praised by her followers, with many applauding her honesty and transparency. Meanwhile, Pete Wicks has yet to publicly comment on the rumors, but insiders say he’s “happy to keep people guessing.”
Whether this will finally stop the rumor mill remains to be seen — but for now, it looks like these two are firmly in the “friend zone.”
