A LOVE Island star looked completely different from her time on the show, as she revealed she has become a body builder after having two kids
The reality star, 29, shot to fame when she appeared in Casa Amor in 2019.
The former Islander in question is Lavena Back, who is now a mother and fitness influencer.
She was briefly on Love Island during the dreaded Casa Amor stage six years ago, but failed to steal one of the boys so didn't make it in the main villa.
Since then, Lavena has got married, had two kids and now is a body builder.
Showing off her muscles in her latest Instagram post, she revealed she had just competed in a body building competition.
"Didn’t walk away with the trophy, but walked away with so much more," she told fans.
"The line-up was insanely strong, and I’m honestly so proud of myself for even getting this far.
"This journey lit a fire in me, and I already know I’ll be back, better than ever thank you to my legend of a coach @jase_eliteresults for getting me here!"
FINDING LOVE
Prior to going on Love Island, Lavena had an on-off relationship with Premier League star Wilfried Zaha.
But the influencer failed to find love on the ITV2 reality show and didn’t make it out of Casa Amor.
Now, times have changed for the star as she’s certainly found love and is married to her ‘soul mate.’
Lavena revealed the sweet news in April 2022, as she posed in a wedding dress.
The reality star wrote: “When you want something so bad you’ve just got to go for it… so we tied the knot.”
BECOMING A MUM
Lavena and her husband had their first child in August 2022.
She announced her second pregnancy in June 2023, with a scan picture and the words: "When 3 became 4.”
Lavena then welcomed baby number two the following year.
The star uses her social media to share videos about motherhood.
In her bio she writes that she’s “just a mum,” and she often shares videos with her little ones.
Lavena has TikTok too, where shares mum hacks and playful videos with the little ones.
