Bono’s daughter Jordan Hewson spotted at Love Island live final to support pal Laura Whitmore

Bono’s daughter Jordan Hewson and top magazine boss Samantha Barry were spotted in the front row at the Love Island live final to support their pal Laura Whitmore.

The U2 legend’s eldest daughter and Cork-born editor in chief for Glamour magazine jet over to Spain for the final in Majorca on Monday night.

The Irish ladies, who both live in New York City, joined the family and friends in the crowd, as they watched on as host Laura announced that Liam and Millie were the Love Island 2021 champions.

The pair were spotted in the crowd on the night as Toby and Chloe came in second place, Faye and Teddy came in third place while Kaz and Tyler were first to be eliminated in fourth.

Meanwhile, Ballincollig native Samantha, who spends her days hanging out with Anna Wintour at Condé Nast and various high profile stars during her day job couldn’t hide her excitement online, and posted snaps from inside the villa.

Showing her view of the stage before the final kicked off, she said: “Ready for you” and tagged her friend and host of the show Laura.

“In the actual villa with Jordan Hewson,” she added.

“We are in the Love Island villa and we are losing our shit,” she admitted in another video from their table, as she giggled with excitement at the highly anticipated event.

Later on the top magazine boss took a tour of the famous villa, and posed in some of the most recognisable spots, including the ‘Beach Hut’ where the islanders have made some of the biggest confessions throughout the season.

Posing alongside Laura with Jordan, she praised her presenter pal and said: “This queen nailed it tonight!”

Samantha is a publishing powerhouse, who worked previously as an Executive Producer for social and emerging media at CNN, before taking over at the helm of Glamour magazine as Editor-In-Chief.

Dublin-born Jordan is a success in her own right too, and has featured in Forbes magazine's prestigious 30 Under 30 list in recent years.

The entrepreneur, who has an undergraduate degree in political science and a masters in creative writing from New York's prestigious Columbia University, launched her tech company Speakable in 2016.

The company's flagship production - an Action Button - garnered the most attention, working as an embeddable tool that allows readers to take action through sharing social media support, signing petitions and donating to causes featured in articles.
