Grant, a standout contestant from the recent season of Temptation Island, has publicly addressed his current relationship status following the show’s conclusion. During an interview with Tudum on March 20, 2025, he candidly stated:
“I left the island alone, and I’m alone. I’m single, working on myself.”
This affirmation marks a significant change in Grant’s life, as he has decided to part ways not only with his initial partner, Ashley, but also with Natalie, with whom he developed a connection during his time on the island. His choice to leave without a partner was heavily influenced by the experiences he encountered and critical reflections on his past relationship.
Grant Reflects on His Temptation Island Journey and Commitment to Singleness
The series of events on Temptation Island prompted profound personal insights for Grant. Notably, he decided to end his relationship with Ashley after reviewing her remarks about him during the show’s bonfire segments. He expressed his surprise by stating:
“In real life, I didn’t know how she was talking about me to other people.”
This newfound awareness about Ashley’s sentiments regarding their private discussions played a crucial role in his reevaluation of their relationship. Throughout the show, Grant also formed a bond with Natalie; however, he recognized that this connection was largely driven by his desire to move past his relationship with Ashley. He articulated his feelings saying:
“It was kind of my way of letting go; at the same time, I didn’t want Natalie to feel like a rebound. That girl is incredible.”
Ultimately, this journey led Grant to prioritize his self-development over entering into another romantic commitment.
How Temptation Island Reshaped Grant’s View on Relationships
Engaging with a diverse group of people on the island significantly shifted Grant’s perspective regarding romantic relationships. He shared that this unique atmosphere enabled him to contrast his relationship with Ashley against various other dynamics he witnessed.
“Meeting these other girls who were so soft and nice really just stuck it to me that that’s what I need in a partner,” he noted.
This discovery compelled him to reevaluate the characteristics he seeks in a long-term partner. Although he explored a potential relationship with Natalie, Grant later acknowledged that his approach could have been more self-aware. He reflected:
“I think I was very unaligned with my soul. I was so distracted and overwhelmed that my decisions at the time weren’t extremely thought-out.”
Grant recognized the consequences his choices had not only on himself but also on Ashley and Natalie, expressing regret for any hurt caused.
Grant’s Commitment to Personal Growth Post-Show
Since leaving Temptation Island, Grant has dedicated himself to personal improvement and self-awareness. He described his journey on the show as laden with emotional depth and a path to self-discovery.
“I still feel like I was being my wholehearted self, so I don’t regret anything besides Ashley having to watch,” he commented.
Currently, Grant has not shared any information regarding new relationships, choosing instead to focus on his personal well-being and to contemplate what he truly desires for his future romantic engagements. By stepping away from both Ashley and Natalie, he aims to ensure that his next relationship genuinely reflects his values and aspirations.
