Hannah Maria Wright went from teaching a classroom in Palm Springs to winning Love Island USA Season 5 in the summer of 2023. Most people now search her name for the same handful of answers: how old she is, where her family comes from, how tall she is, and who she is marrying.
She arrived in the Fiji villa as a bombshell, stole Marco Donatelli on Day 3, and never looked back. Since then the pair have moved in together, got engaged and set a wedding date.
This article gives you the verified details, flags where sources disagree, and clears up the “Hannah” mix-ups that trip up a lot of searches.
Key Takeaways
• She was born July 9, 1999, in Palm Springs, California, so she is 27 as of October 2026.
• Her father is reported to be African American and her mother Mexican, though this comes from profile sites, not a direct interview we could find.
• She and Marco Donatelli got engaged on May 28, 2025, and their wedding is scheduled for December 12, 2026.
• No reputable source has verified a net worth for her, and we cover what is actually known later in this article.

Hannah Maria Wright’s Age and Birthday
Hannah Wright was born on July 9, 1999, which makes her a Cancer and 27 years old as of this writing. She turned 27 in July 2026.
That date comes from Famous Birthdays and is repeated by Legit.ng. A few low-quality sites list May 7, 1999, but they give a different zodiac sign and sit among scraped content, so we don’t rely on them.
Press ages from the show years line up with the July date. She was 24 when the season aired in 2023. One outlet reported her as 26 around her engagement in May 2025, which doesn’t fit a July 1999 birthday. Treat age figures in news coverage as approximate.
Is Hannah Wright Black or Mexican? Ethnicity and Nationality
Hannah Wright is American. She was born and raised in Palm Springs, California, and has built her public life in the United States.
On heritage, Famous Birthdays and CelebzFame both say her father is African American and her mother is Mexican. That is the only sourcing we found, since neither site links to an interview or statement from her. She does not appear, in anything we could locate, to have discussed it at length publicly.
So the careful way to put it: she is widely reported to have a Black and Mexican background. If she addresses it herself, that will outrank any profile site.
Hannah Wright’s Height
Hannah Wright is reported to stand about 5 feet 7 inches, roughly 170 centimeters. CelebzFame gives that figure and one other site agrees.
Neither source cites a measurement or a statement from her, so it should be read as an estimate. We are leaving out weight and body measurements, since they are unsourced and add nothing to understanding who she is.
Hannah Wright’s Boyfriend: Marco Donatelli Is Now Her Fiancé
Search results still say “boyfriend,” but that label is out of date. Marco Donatelli is her fiancé, and the couple have been engaged since May 2025. The relationship began in the villa and has outlasted most franchise couples.
How They Met in the Villa
Marco was an original islander who entered on Day 1 and was first paired with Destiny Davis. Hannah arrived as a bombshell at the start of the season (sources give Day 1 or Day 2) and picked Marco on Day 3, which left Destiny single. People reported that the two had even shown up in matching lime green outfits.
They stayed loyal through every re-coupling. When producers brought in Marco’s ex, Hannah Ortega, during the Casa Amor stretch, he told her the door was closed. The public then voted them the winners on Day 32, and the $100,000 prize was split, $50,000 each.
In a Vulture interview, Marco said he told her he loved her about two weeks before he asked her to be his girlfriend, because he wanted to hear his family’s opinion first. He made it official on their final date late in the season.
Real life took some adjusting. Marco lived in Boca Raton and Hannah in Palm Springs, so they started long distance. Hannah moved to Florida, and on The Wedding Reporter Podcast Marco admitted they “fought almost every day” early on. The couple now live in Pittsburgh with their Goldendoodle, Giuseppe.
The Punta Cana Proposal
Marco proposed on May 28, 2025, at Secrets Cap Cana Resort & Spa in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, with candles and white flowers on the beach. He announced it on Instagram the next day, and the couple became the first Love Island USA pair to get engaged.
Hannah has said she thought the trip was for a brand deal. According to the podcast interview, Marco had arranged a fake sponsorship to get her there. He also reused the diamond from a promise ring he gave her on their first anniversary, which Hannah told E! News was the first thing she noticed about the new ring.
Wedding Date and Plans
Their wedding is scheduled for December 12, 2026, in the Los Angeles area. They announced the date in February 2026 with a save-the-date post. The planned theme is “Old Hollywood” with Italian-inspired details.
Some earlier reporting, including a podcast interview from October 2025, said October 2026. The December date is the more recent, and the one confirmed by the save-the-date. We found no confirmation that they are married yet, so for now it is accurate to call her Marco’s fiancée.
Early Life, Parents and Sisters
Hannah Wright grew up in Palm Springs, California, with two sisters, according to Famous Birthdays. She went to Palm Springs High School, where she played three sports: volleyball, basketball and softball.
Her parents’ names are not publicly documented in any reliable coverage we found. We are not guessing at them. What is reported is the heritage covered earlier in this article, and that her family appears on the show: during the penultimate episode, islanders received video messages from loved ones, and coverage noted that her family gave Marco their approval.
Marco’s proposal caption spoke about family members they have lost, including his mother, who died in 2021. It also referred to Hannah’s father. Neither of them has gone into detail publicly, so we leave it there.
From Palm Springs Teacher to Love Island Bombshell
Before Love Island, her path was in media and education. She studied broadcast, electronic communication and arts at San Francisco State University and also attended the International School of Journalism in Copenhagen. That European stretch fits the travel content (Spain, France, Denmark) that Famous Birthdays says fills her Instagram.
Her reporting experience includes a stint at MUSE TV, a news internship at KQED, and some sports commentary. In 2023 she became a STEAM teacher with the Palm Springs Unified School District, and that job was her label on the show.
She told Vulture that her dating life had gone quiet during her first year of teaching, so applying felt like a way to focus on it. She also said she was modeling and posting swimwear photos when casting reached out to her. Both details explain why a teacher ended up in a Fiji villa.
Her Love Island USA Season 5 Timeline
Season 5 premiered on Peacock on July 18, 2023, and ran 32 days after her group arrived. Part of her story with Marco is told above, so here is what the villa record shows around that.
| Day | What happened |
| 2 | Arrives as a bombshell with Carmen Kocourek and Carsten “Bergie” Bergersen (most coverage; one fan wiki says late Day 1) |
| 3 | Steals Marco from Destiny Davis |
| 5 and 11 | Stays coupled with Marco in both re-couplings |
| 7 | Wins the “Mr and Mrs” challenge with Marco |
| 21 | Casa Amor ends; she and Marco both stick |
| 27 | Remains with Marco in the final re-coupling |
| 32 | Crowned winners; Aug 27, 2023 finale |
Not everything landed well. During Casa Amor, Meaww reported viewer backlash after she called islander Kassy Castillo “shallow” in a chat with Carmen. After the finale, some fans called the win underwhelming, though others defended the couple on authenticity alone. Winners are decided by public vote, so the result stood.
She also built a real friendship in the villa. In a Yahoo interview she said she and Bergie “clicked from the jump.”
Hannah Maria Wright Net Worth: What Is Actually Known
No reputable outlet has published a verified net worth for Hannah Maria Wright. Anything you see is an estimate, and most are guesses.
What can be pinned down is short. The couple won $100,000 and split it, so her share was $50,000 before taxes. One profile site lists $500,000 as of 2026, but says the figure rests on “reasonable assumptions” and gives no income breakdown. That is the only specific number we found, so there is no multi-source comparison to show.
Public income streams are thin. Her Instagram bio lists a business inquiry address, which points to brand work, and she has appeared at events. We found no confirmation that she still teaches, and no disclosed deals or business ventures.
A useful rule when you read any celebrity figure: if it names no income sources, treat it as a guess. A real estimate points to specific earnings.
Life After the Villa: Pittsburgh, Instagram and Brand Work
Today her public life is split between her feed and wedding planning. Her Instagram bio describes lifestyle content, baking and a “wedding era,” with Pittsburgh as her location.
The posts have shifted since the show. Famous Birthdays described a travel-heavy feed in the past, and her bio now points toward home, baking and wedding content. In June 2024 Marco told People that they stayed on track by “communicating and planning weekly.” They kept using that approach as the planning got bigger.
Hannah Wright’s Social Media: Where to Find Her Official Accounts
Her only confirmed personal account is Instagram. Here is what we verified and what we could not.
| Platform | Handle | Notes |
| @hannnahmwright | Display name “Hannah Maria Wright.” Indexed at about 268,000 followers; Famous Birthdays says over 270,000. Verification badge not confirmed (Instagram blocked our page check) | |
| Instagram (couple) | @marcoadonatelli | Marco Donatelli’s account, credited in press photos |
| Instagram (show) | @loveislandusa | The show’s official account, which reposts cast content |
| TikTok, X, YouTube, Facebook | None confirmed | TikTok results are fan and gossip videos, not her own account |
Three tips for finding the right profile:
• Count the n’s. The handle has three: h-a-n-n-n-a-h-m-w-r-i-g-h-t. A search for “Hannah Wright” returns dozens of unrelated people.
• Check the bio. The real account says Love Island USA Season 5 winner and Pittsburgh.
• Beware the old handle. Meaww credited one pre-show photo to @misshannnahw. It looks like an earlier account, and we could not confirm that it is active.
Follower counts shift daily, so check the live profile before quoting them.
Which Hannah Is This? Season 4, Season 5 and Other Hannahs
Many searches for her land on the wrong person. The most common slip is the season. Hannah Wright was not on Season 4. That season (2022) was won by Timmy Pandolfi and Zeta Morrison, according to People. She won Season 5 in 2023.
“Season 5” can also mean the UK version. Love Island UK Series 5 aired in 2019 and was won by Amber Gill and Greg O’Shea.
Several other Hannahs add to the noise. Season 6 had Hannah Smith, from Charlotte. Marco’s ex, Hannah Ortega, showed up at Casa Amor. Outside the franchise there is a UK games-industry recruiter named Hannah Wright and a college athlete listed as Hannah Duran-Wright on a track roster. Viral TikTok clips about “Hannah from Love Island” often refer to one of the others.
The Hannah Check: you have the right person if all four match.
1. Love Island USA Season 5, 2023
2. A Palm Springs teacher
3. Partner Marco Donatelli
