Love Island’s Adam Collard and Partner Laura Woods Expecting First Child

Adam Collard, renowned from his appearances on the show Love Island, is poised to embrace fatherhood with his partner, Laura Woods. Recently, the couple announced that they are expecting their first child together, marking a significant transition in Collard’s life.

Those who followed Love Island may remember Adam as the charming and confident contestant known for his flirtatious nature. He made history as a unique participant by entering the villa twice, first in the fourth season, where he shared the screen with contestants like Jack Fincham, and later in season eight in 2022 alongside notable figures such as Indiyah Polack.

During his second season, viewers witnessed a more mature Adam, who focused exclusively on his connection with Laura. Although their relationship did not flourish after the show, Adam appears to have committed to a settled life with Woods, especially after the recent pregnancy announcement this past weekend.

On July 21, the couple shared a heartwarming Instagram post featuring a sonogram alongside their beloved French bulldog, showcasing their growing family. Laura, who holds the role of a prominent sports presenter, wrote in the caption, “Hey, baby,” accompanied by two pink heart emojis, a post that Adam also shared on his own account.

The couple, who went public with their romance in October 2023, seem to have accelerated their relationship milestones as they continue to exhibit their affection publicly through social media.

Just a few weeks ago, Adam celebrated Laura’s birthday by sharing a touching series of monochrome photos that captured their romantic bond, reinforcing how intertwined their lives have become.

Fans of the duo expressed relief that Adam seems to be settling down, with one user commenting on X (previously known as Twitter), expressing their gratitude that they would no longer need to witness Collard on dating shows. This comment referenced Adam’s previous experience on Celebs Go Dating, where he dated his co-star Lottie Moss.

Laura Woods, a sports broadcasting figure, has been crucial in maintaining a low-profile relationship with Adam until their recent announcements. With her overwhelming follower count on social media, the couple garnered considerable attention, albeit the comments have been disabled for Laura’s initial post regarding her pregnancy, the likes on their accounts soar into the hundreds of thousands.

Adam’s previous remarks hint at his aspirations for marriage and family, stating, “I’m protective, whether it’s Laura, or my family, my friends. I want to get married. I want to have kids as well.” In articulating his vision of parenting, he expressed a desire not to overshare on social media, stressing the importance of offering his children a private childhood away from public scrutiny.

Interestingly, the couple’s initial meeting stemmed from Adam’s viewership of a Lionesses match where Laura was a commentator. Following their paths crossing on social media, Adam’s interest grew into a significant relationship.

As for Adam Collard’s journey into fatherhood, it symbolizes not only a personal metamorphosis but reflects growth from his controversial image during his time on Love Island, where he faced backlash for his behavior that prompted responses from organizations like Women’s Aid.

Thus far, the couple has been seen immensely enjoying their relationship, especially as they embark on this life-changing chapter together. Meanwhile, Laura Woods continues to shine in her career as a trusted sports presenter, a role she has fulfilled since her beginnings with Sky Sports and internships with other broadcasting networks.

Looking forward, fans are eager to see how their relationship unfolds, especially as they navigate parenthood while maintaining their individual careers in the public eye. This new chapter promises to bring both challenges and joys, showcasing a significant evolution for both Adam Collard and Laura Woods.
