Right now, the whole world is tuned into the drama that is José Carlos Montoya and Anita Williams from Spanish dating show, Temptation Island. From the out of context clips on Twitter, the show looks like it was purely set up to put Montoya through hell.
The show does actually have a bit more of a premise behind it. Couples who think they might be close to breaking up apply to go on it. The girls live in one villa, the boys in the other. Then, a bunch of singles are thrown into each house. The idea is, you try not to cheat on your partner who’s living in the other villa.
It’s basically like an entire show version of Love Island’s Casa Amor, if the couples in there had been together for years already. It sounds… chaos.
So, seeing the out of context clips from the show, and knowing it features pretty established relationships – a lot of people are wondering about Montoya and Anita before Temptation Island. Here’s what their relationship was like.

Montoya and Anita had been together for a year before Temptation Island
When Montoya and Anita joined Temptation Island, they had been together for a year already. The pair decided to go on Temptation Island to actually celebrate their one year anniversary. Sure?!
Apparently, if they managed to get through it without cheating, they were planning on starting a family together. I don’t think we should be preparing for pregnancy news, then.
“Two ways to look at life, but one common goal: build a family together,” the post announcing them as cast members said.
They met on another dating show
The couple met on another reality show, but they didn’t get together on that first dating show until the very end. After that they were a long-distance couple. Anita lives in Barcelona, on the other side of Spain to Seville, where Montoya is from.
All that clearly didn’t mean that much, as the viral videos show Anita cheating on Montoya, and then him cheating back in retaliation.
Um, it looks as though Montoya and Anita are actually still together after Temptation Island
Despite everything, it actually looks as though Montoya and Anita are still together after Temptation Island. According to a Spanish source, Anita and Montoya are still together but have a “toxic relationship” and “continuous arguments.” Sounds about right.
The translated source has claimed: “Today, at this moment, Montoya and Anita are together. The couple, since leaving the island, have had several encounters and several disagreements. They have what is now called a toxic relationship and the arguments they have at home and on the street are continuous but they share life at least intermittently.”
