Zac Woodworth has captured the hearts of Love Island: All Stars viewers since making his explosive entrance as one of six American bombshells in the show’s third season.
While the 26-year-old Portland, Oregon native has become a fan favourite — largely thanks to his blossoming romance with series seven winner Millie Court — fans have naturally grown curious about the family that shaped him.
Here is everything we know about Zac Woodworth’s parents and the people behind the man making waves in the South African villa.
Zac is originally from Portland, Oregon, a city in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. He currently resides in Scottsdale, Arizona, though his Instagram bio lists Hawaii, Oregon, and Arizona as places he has ties to.
According to his LinkedIn, Zac studied Business Administration, Management, and Advertising at the University of Oregon — suggesting his parents raised him with a strong sense of ambition and education before he carved out his own path in content creation and influencing.
While Zac has not publicly named or introduced his parents in interviews or on social media, his strong Pacific Northwest roots point to a grounded upbringing far from the spotlight of reality television.
One of the clearest windows into Zac’s family life came not from a red carpet or an interview, but from his Instagram page during his time on Love Island: All Stars.
While Zac is starring on All Stars, his best mate is running his socials. However, it is his family who has made their presence felt most meaningfully on the account — and they have made no secret of who they want him to end up with.
According to sources, Zac’s family took to his Instagram to share their thoughts on his journey in the villa, posting a snap of Zac alongside a caption that playfully addressed his wavering attention:
“The producers just sat up… head turning or character development for our guy Zac?”

When Millie’s best friend, Chloe Burrows, commented in the section demanding one “correct answer,” the family member managing the account liked the comment and replied: “getting the gloves ready just in case.”
The exchange made it crystal clear — Zac’s family firmly roots for his connection with Millie.
They also shared a warm photo of Millie and Zac together from a recent episode, complete with a love-heart face emoji, signalling their full-throated support for the couple.
The behind-the-scenes family activity on Zac’s Instagram reveals something important: his loved ones pay close attention to his journey and are not afraid to speak up.
Their playful but pointed commentary — and their clear preference for Millie over bombshell newcomer Jessy Potts — shows a family that takes Zac’s emotional well-being seriously, even from thousands of miles away.
The warmth and humour in their posts suggest a close-knit dynamic, with his family clearly comfortable enough to engage publicly on his behalf while he remains in the villa without access to his own phone.
Though Zac keeps the details of his family life private, the values he carries into relationships offer some insight into the environment his parents created.
In his introduction video for Love Island USA, Zac shared that when he is in a relationship, he is “locked in” — and described himself as someone looking for a partner to “take on the world with.” Ahead of his All Stars entrance, he described himself as “super sociable” and said he loves talking to everybody.
That openness, confidence, and drive to pursue genuine connection are qualities that point to a supportive upbringing — one where Zac was clearly encouraged to put himself out there, travel the world, and chase what he wants.
