Love Island’s newest addition, Giorgio “Gio” Russo, arrived at Villa Casa Amor on June 23, and he definitely made a splash.

At 30, he brings a level of maturity to this drama-packed season, and he’s already stirring things up. Here’s everything you need to know about this captivating newcomer.

Giorgio Russo comes from Maidstone, Kent, but he currently lives in Sydney, Australia. He has plans to return to the UK eventually, as he really misses his family.

At 30, he’s one of the older contestants this season, sharing that distinction with Harry Cooksley. With Italian roots tracing back to Sicily, he’s part of a sporty, close-knit family.

Professionally, Giorgio works as an account manager but took a break recently for a trip around Southeast Asia before settling down in Australia. He describes himself as outgoing, playful, and family-oriented—traits that reflect well in both his personal and professional life. As he stepped into the villa, he hinted at keeping his goals under wraps but mentioned he’s already got his eyes on a few fellow Islanders.

Giorgio is proud to be the older brother of Alessia Russo, a notable Lioness and forward for Arsenal, who’s currently the FWA Women’s Footballer of the Year. Their bond is strong; he even shared on social media,

“Turns out being related to a Champions League winner makes me insanely proud.”

Alessia’s been super supportive of his journey on Love Island, showing confidence in his ability to succeed. The Russo family also includes their older brother, Luca, who works as a football agent, making it clear that football is at the heart of their family.

Giorgio has a clear idea of what he wants in a relationship as he steps into the villa: he’s looking for someone with a great personality who’s family-oriented, fun-loving, and doesn’t take life too seriously. Given his athletic background, he sees a love for sports—especially football—as a huge plus.

“They don’t have to know football, but if they show any interest, that would be great. It’d be tough if they hated it,”

he shared. He’s also eager to find someone who fits into his lively family dynamic since he’s tired of feeling like “the seventh wheel.”

A recent TikTok video showcasing Giorgio’s transformation has gone viral, highlighting his journey from a nerdy kid with braces to a fit guy with a six-pack—just in time for his debut in the villa.

He leads an active lifestyle, enjoying running and surfing, much like his sister, Alessia. Since joining the villa, he’s already caused quite a stir by chatting with Islanders like Helena and catching the eye of Caprice, who described the whole situation as “lit.”
