Fans of the 2019 season of ITV’s reality dating show Love Island will recall Anna Vakili featuring among the cast. She has continued to share details of her life with fans – which now includes a recent split and an IVF journey
Love Island star Anna Vakili has shared an update from a medical facility after splitting from her boyfriend and pursuing IVF treatments. The 36-year-old reality star found fame on the ITV series during season 5 of the show back in 2019.
Viewers saw her enter the villa on Day one and attempt to find love as the show progressed – with romances with fellow contestants including Ovie Soko and Jordan Mainoo-Hames failing to go the distance. She was ultimately dumped from the villa on Day 52 – but has continued to keep fans informed about her romantic life in the years since she appeared on TV.
Recently, Anna revealed that she had broken up with her mystery boyfriend, who she has referred to only as Cowslick. And over the weekend, the former Islander shared news that she has frozen her eggs as she plans for her future.
Taking to Instagram on Saturday, Anna shared a string of photographs of herself at a fertility centre and inside medical facilities where she underwent scans. The reality star added captions to each of her photos, explaining that she had been injecting herself with hormones daily, turning her back on caffeine and alcohol, and ultimately succeeded in having eggs stocked.
Anna captioned her collection of snaps, writing: “Here’s a little behind-the-scenes of my egg freezing journey with @crgh_fertility. From the daily injections and regular appointments to all the little moments in between.”
She added: “So grateful for this experience and proud of myself for taking a step towards giving my future self more choices.” While further captions included one stating: “Daily hormone injections became part of my evening routine… And just like that… egg collection day was finally here! All those injections and appointments led to this moment.”
Photos showed Anna in a hospital bed with an oxygen mask attached and an IV drip connected to her hand. She was met with a wall of support from followers – including Sugababes star Keisha Buchanan who commented: “Love this for you” alongside red heart emojis.
While N Dubz star Tulisa Contostavlos commented: “Yaaaaaaaaay you did it!!!!!!! So happy for you boo! Currently on round 5 wish me luck.”
Prior to sharing her IVF journey, Anna had revealed to fans that she was single again after sharing news of a break up on her podcast, Sisters in the City, which she co-hosts with her sibling, Mandi.
Anna and Mandi have kept identities of both their partners secret while sharing information about their love lives on the podcast, but the ex-Love Island star referred to her now former boyfriend as Cowslick. In the latest update, she said: “I’m here to break it to you that me and Cowslick have broken up and…”
The comment caused Mandi to burst out laughing and, apologising, the younger sister said: “I don’t know if you understand how long I’m waiting for this day. I wouldn’t be able to handle that as well if I was Anna, especially when you’re going through it yourself.”
Anna then went on to state she was not overly upset about the break-up – which she explained had taken place back in September.
The Love Island star had previously had a very on and off romance with the mystery man – most recently reuniting in 2025 following a split.
