Love Island Australia 2026: Meet Keanu

- From: Sydney
- Age: 25
- Occupation: Tradie
Meet cheeky Kiwi chappy Keanu.
After moving to Australia at 17, Keanu pursued a career in the NRL, playing for the North Queensland Cowboys and later the Newcastle Knights.
He’s the rare ex-footy player all our aspiring WAG Islanders can’t resist. But even better, this one has the personality to match.
Knowing his football career was coming to an end, Keanu picked up the tools, embracing life as a tradie.
Keanu says he lives by the words “why not?” Nine
Having achieved what most young athletes only dream of, he now carries an optimistic confidence and energy that’s impossible not to be drawn to.
Despite his wicked playboy ways, with his infectious laughter, killer dimples and a class-clown personality, he’s the type of guy who can cause absolute chaos one day and somehow have everyone forgiving him the next.
