Love Island Australia 2026: Meet Sammi
- From: Whangārei, New Zealand
- Age: 23
- Occupation: Model and content creator
Sammi is the official beauty queen. She lives in the small town of Whangārei with her family but grew up in South Africa.
She spent the last year travelling the world as Miss New Zealand, but finding a decent man has proven harder than winning the crown.
Her last serious relationship lasted three years. Since then, despite having flings with a few All Black rugby stars, Sammi hasn’t been kissed in nearly two years.
Sammi grew up in South Africa before moving to NZ. Nine
She has found dating in Whangārei almost impossible, and between her Miss New Zealand commitments, dating has gone on the back burner.
Sammi isn’t afraid of a little competition – after all, she beat 170 girls to get her crown, so coming into the villa, she’ll be going for the exact guy that catches her eye.
