As Love Island 2025 continues to gain momentum, one participant who is standing out is Dejon Noel-Williams – the amiable personal trainer with a football legacy.
His blossoming romance with Meg Moore and his jovial interactions with newcomer Malisha have endeared Dejon to the viewers. But who is he, really? Let’s delve into his age, profession, notable family background, and his experiences in the villa so far.
How Old Is Dejon Noel-Williams?
At 26 years old, Dejon fits well within this year’s Love Island age range, which spans from 22 (like Tommy and Shakira) to 30 (like Helena and Harry). Hailing from London, he brings a mix of self-assurance and affable charisma to the villa.
In a pre-show interview, Dejon said he considers himself “very honest”—sometimes maybe a bit too honest.
“I don’t lead people on, but my honesty can sometimes get me into hot water,”
he confessed. This trait has certainly been on display, particularly in his tricky love triangle involving Meg and Malisha.
What Does Dejon Do for a Living?
He’s a certified personal trainer with a robust social media presence, working alongside well-known brands like Nike and Gymshark.
His fitness passion goes beyond just training clients; he’s also a semi-pro footballer, having played for clubs like Bedford Town, Potters Bar Town, and even representing the Grenada national team.
Interestingly, he’s trained some notable names, including Tyrique Hyde from Love Island 2023. Ahead of his own villa debut, he shared on Instagram,
“Here’s an exclusive look behind the scenes of a 1:1 session with Tyrique Hyde—one of the elite clients I work with.”
Who Is Dejon’s Famous Dad?
Dejon is the son of Gifton Noel-Williams, a former Premier League striker known for his time at Watford, Stoke City, and Burnley before moving into coaching. Growing up with his dad’s football career meant being surrounded by legends of the game, even meeting people like David Beckham.
“When I was younger, it was a bit surreal; to me, he was just my dad, but then we’d go to games and fans would want photos,”
Dejon reminisced.
“I’ve met David Beckham—he was super nice.”
Gifton has wholeheartedly supported Dejon’s journey on Love Island, advising him to “just be yourself.” Dejon reflects,
“He’s basically my best friend… he knows me inside and out.”
Dejon’s Love Island Journey So Far
Dejon stepped into the villa on June 9th and was quickly picked by Meg Moore, who initially mentioned being “50/50” on him. Their bond deepened, culminating in a kiss on the terrace and a recoupling.
However, the entrance of bombshell Malisha Jordan quickly put their relationship to the test. After a flirty date with Malisha, Meg felt “disrespected,” which led to some tense moments.
“If Meg keeps acting like this, it’s over,”
Dejon cautioned, though they managed to patch things up later.
With new surprises on the horizon, will Dejon stay true to Meg, or will another newcomer catch his eye?
