First, we need to get one thing straight: there isn’t just one AJ on Love Island. The show has had a few. But you’re probably thinking of AJ Bunker, the iconic bombshell from the USA version. She’s the one with the million-watt smile and the energy of a puppy on caffeine.
How old is she? Officially, AJ Bunker was born on July 9, 1997. Do the math. That makes her 26 years old (as of 2026). But wait—that’s not the whole story.
Here’s the twist: AJ’s age became a massive controversy during her season. Viewers swore she was lying. Some thought she was 28. Others guessed 30. Why? Because she carried herself like a wise old soul—but partied like a college freshman.
