Andre Furtado’s best choice for a Love Island partner might be Ruchee Gurung. ITV’s Love Island is back following a brief break after the Winter Love Island 2023 ended in April. The summer edition of the groundbreaking British reality TV dating series returned to the screens earlier this week. As expected, the series introduced an exciting group of young singles ready to mingle. However, the 10th series of the show has a twist where a public vote partners up Islanders. The vote gave rise to the following pairings — Catherine Agbaje and Andre Furtado, Molly Marsh, Mitchel Taylor, Jess Harding, and George Fensom. It also coupled up Ella Thomas and Tyrique Hyde, as well as Ruchee Gurung and Mehdi Edno. However, fans didn’t like that black contestants ended up as couples, causing dissatisfaction with the outcome of the pairings.
However, that soon changed with the introduction of the first bombshell personal trainer Zachariah Noble, who steals Catherine from Andre after spending 24hrs in the villa. That consequently made Andre the only single couple and vulnerable to early elimination. However, he got a little confidence boost when another bombshell Whitney Adebayo picked him up to accompany her on a romantic beach date. Despite his date with Whitney, Andre remains interested in the developing situation between Catherine and Zach. Amidst the drama, fans have noticed the chemistry between Andre and Ruchee, who coincidentally broke up with Mehdi.
The Love Island Stars Share A Connection
The new season of Love Island has been buzzing with a lot of activity despite only being in its first week, and Andre has been at the center of much of the action going on in the villa so far. Given the current circumstances, it’s increasingly likely that he may be part of the first love triangle this season. Although Andre wasn’t too impressed with how Zach stole Catherine from him, he didn’t have to worry about that for too long as Ruchee made herself available to help him deal with the heartbreak. Fans watched as Andre sat resting on Ruchee’s lap while she stroked his head. The two looked cute together, and other Islanders noted the sweet moment. However, Ruchee quickly announced that she was only comforting him.
However, most Love Island fans do not think that is the case. The fans are convinced that Ruchee has a crush on Andre, and she was clearly making moves on him since he was now single and available. Unfortunately for Ruchee, introducing Whitney into the mix looks set to produce the first love triangle on the show. Whitney has already shown that she has her heart set on a connection with Andre. She took him on a romantic beach date when she arrived at the villa. However, most viewers feel Ruchee still has a better chance of ending up with Andre. He and Whitney hardly showed any chemistry during their date.

Although Ruchee has been a bit careful about how she is showing her interest in Andre, most Love Island fans are convinced that she has feelings for him and are adamant that she needs to step things up. Following the cute moment the two shared, fans have been talking about how perfect the two are for each other. On Reddit, the two have become arguably the most talked about Islanders, and one particular user u/CourtNice6687 recently started a thread about the two while sharing a picture of the moment Andre rested his head on Ruchee’s lap. The user shared the image alongside the caption,
“Ruchee, STOP PLAYINGGGGGHHH AND GO FOR YOUR MAN.”
While commenting on the thread, most viewers noted how Ruchee gave several subtle hints to Andre, but he failed to pick up on them. They recalled how Ruchee claimed she could be a “shoulder for him to cry on.” She also joked about him getting her initials on his ring finger. The fans felt she had given him more than enough hints, but Andre seemed still focused on Catherine. He even told Ruchee that Catherine was still his number 1 following his date with Whitney.
However, most Love Island fans feel Andre is making a grave mistake waiting around for Catherine, seemingly smitten by Zach. The show’s fans highlighted that the two suit each other and backed up their claims by recalling how Ruchee Gurung previously revealed she was interested in Andre Furtado. Andre has also mentioned that he likes older women, and Ruchee is one of the oldest in the villa. Fans would love to see the duo couple up, and Ruchee doesn’t seem to have any reservations about that. However, the decision rests with Andre, who must realize that Ruchee is his best bet.
