Reality TV star Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, known for her fiery personality and triumphant Love Island win, has made headlines again—this time for a major real estate move.

The 30-year-old has reportedly purchased a lavish £1 million mansion in Essex, cementing her success after a string of high-profile TV appearances and brand deals.

Ekin-Su’s Lavish New Home Close to Family

The Love Island winner, who rose to fame in 2022, has secured a four-bedroom property near her parents, opting for a “more modest” yet luxurious space.

A source told The Sun:

“Ekin’s worked really hard since winning Love Island with ad campaigns and a steady stream of telly. She has snapped up this home in cash and chose somewhere more modest so she could be closer to her parents, who she spends a lot of time with.”

The insider added:

“She’s looking forward to getting stuck in and fixing it up to her perfect style. She’s really proud of everything she’s achieved and ready to lay down roots.”

This purchase follows her split from All Stars co-star Curtis Pritchard, whom she had initially planned to buy a home with earlier this year.

Since her Love Island victory, Ekin-Su has expanded her brand through TV gigs (The Traitors US, Celebrity Big Brother, Dancing on Ice) and lucrative partnerships, including her role as a BPerfect Cosmetics ambassador.

Her financial success allowed her to make the purchase outright, a milestone she celebrated on social media:

Ekin-Su posted on X (formerly Twitter):

“Can’t believe I’ve just bought my own home… just before I turn 30.”

Reports suggest she was offered £100,000 for Dancing on Ice, further boosting her earnings. With 4.3 million Instagram followers, her influence continues to grow.

On her split from Curtis Pritchard, she wrote on Instagram:

“I wanted to share that Curtis and I have decided to go our separate ways. It’s been a really tough decision, but one made with a lot of love and respect for one another.”
