Did Amaya Espinal and Bryan Arenales‘ romance make it beyond the villa?
As the much-anticipated reunion for Season 7 of “Love Island USA” approaches on August 25th, astute fans have observed an intriguing development: The winning couple, who pocketed the $100,000 prize, no longer follow each other on Instagram.
As a devoted fan, I’ve been closely following the latest developments, and while neither Amaya nor Bryan has explicitly addressed the rumors swirling around, something intriguing caught my attention. Over the past three days, there’s been a series of poignant TikTok posts that Amaya has shared on her social media platform. One particular clip really stood out to me – it was a montage of photos of women crying, accompanied by the caption, “perspective: how it feels when you know you have to let him go.” It certainly adds an enigmatic layer to the ongoing speculations, don’t you think?
In a revised version, the character Olivia Pope (played by Kerry Washington) from Scandal was displayed reading aloud, “Once I rise back up and ensure I don’t lower my defenses as I did then.
The video was captioned, “Never again.”
It’s not just Amaya and Bryan from Love Island who have raised breakup suspicions; Iris Kendall and Pepe Garcia, who finished third in the recent season, seem to have unfollowed each other on Instagram as well, fueling speculation among fans.
TopMob News has attempted to contact representatives of Bryan, Amaya, Pepe, and Iris for a response, but no reply has been received as of now.
It’s quite possible that although Amaya and Bryan shared a romantic connection while staying in the Fiji villa, their relationship might become clearer during the upcoming reunion, airing at 9 p.m. ET on Peacock.
Initially, Bryan disclosed details about the bond between him and his nurse, expressing, “My mother adores Amaya. She got emotional when she said goodbye.
Amaya, who referred to herself as a “tender tough guy” during the dating competition, and spoke up for her emotional nature, playfully said, “She’s just like a tender tough guy too.
It appears that the couple may not have spent their entire time in bliss, as the financial accountant confessed in the preview to having made a mistake after production ended, referring to a “moment of poor judgment.
As fans eagerly anticipate deeper understanding of Bryan and Amaya’s relationship beyond the villa, they offered a peek into their emotions prior to claiming victory in season seven.
During our final conversation, I shared with Bryan that certain choices I’ve made left me feeling unappreciated and as though my love wasn’t fully accepted, like a flower struggling to bloom due to lack of water. However, each choice eventually guided me towards finding my own knight in shining armor – my personal Prince Charming.
Speaking about Bryan, I’d say he is a person who overflows my happiness reservoir and accepts the torrent of my feelings. To put it another way, he has made me feel like fairy tales aren’t just stories but real experiences because I find myself immersed in a magical reality with him.
As for Bryan, he pointed out that he discovered more than he anticipated when aiming to create a secure environment for Amaya.
He realized with surprise that you would help me in that way as well, he thought. You called me the fuel to your passion, but to me, you’re the tranquility amidst my chaos.
Read on to see where more Love Island couples stand.
In 2018, the participants from Love Island UK’s fourth season departed the villa as a couple, but their relationship didn’t last much past their return from Mallorca. Since then, they’ve each moved on independently.
In July 2025, Ellie revealed that she was recently engaged to her unnamed boyfriend, who she’s been dating for a year since they first made their relationship public.
In the eleventh season of Love Island UK, the couple initially crossed paths. Unfortunately, Uma had to depart on day 37 along with her partner Wil, as he was eliminated from the island following a choice made by Reuben Collins.
In the summer of 2025, exactly a year after their separation, Uma revealed that she and Wil were now engaged. On Instagram, she playfully shared the news by posting a picture of her ring with the caption, “We’ve been keeping a secret that’s too good not to share.
For the reality star, staying on Love Island after Wil’s exit didn’t seem like an option.
She made it clear that there was no hesitation, as she had already decided without a second thought – she wants to be with Wil, as stated during the Not My Bagg podcast interview.
She told Lisa and Joe that she had found somebody new. It takes her quite some time to feel as comfortable with someone as she did with Wil, but with only two weeks left, she didn’t want to pretend to have a new connection. Instead, she decided to be truthful.
In simpler terms, the dialogue suggests that Amaya found Bryan to be her “Prince Charming” amidst various challenges on Love Island USA. She expresses that he understands her and accepts her for who she is, including her emotional intensity. In return, Bryan appreciates Amaya’s unique qualities and expresses his gratitude for the personal growth they both experienced together. Together, they were declared the winners of season seven.
In this reality show, it was only Olandria and Nic who entered on day one and made it all the way to the final round. They kept viewers guessing as they delved into other connections, frequently switching between being friends and reuniting romantically.
During the finale, Olandria shared her thoughts on relationships: “True friendship forms the basis for a wonderful relationship, where there are no expectations or pressure – just two people getting to know each other gradually.” She went on to say, “What I’ve come to understand is this: The person who has been by your side through everything may very well be the one you were destined to find.”
The runners-up couldn’t help but ponder if they should have been together from the start. Nic added his perspective: “I believe that the essence of our relationship was born out of ignoring the signs initially.” He continued, “At first, we were deeply invested in other connections, but I always had a secret admiration for you. As time passed, we both encountered hurdles we couldn’t have foreseen. We felt lost, confused, and even parted ways from the villa. When you opened the car door during my departure from the villa, it was like a sign appeared on our life’s highway. We were given another chance to form a bond that we didn’t realize existed between us.”
As for what lies ahead for #NicOlandria, only time will tell.
Nic went on to say that he wasn’t certain what our relationship would evolve into – be it friendship, romance, or a partnership. Yet, throughout this journey of life, it’s been wonderful to have you as a companion by my side, making the ride feel just right.
During the finale, Iris shared her delight about her “Love Island” experience, stating, “It’s been amazing because what started as a strong friendship with you at the beginning has blossomed into something more, leaving me excited to know you better in the real world.”
Pepe and Iris didn’t develop romantic feelings until late in the season, but they both felt grateful for this arrangement, expressing that it allowed them to create a relationship rooted in friendship. As they finished in fourth place, they looked forward to exploring their future together.
Pepe added, “Our bond grew stronger day by day throughout our time here. From the bottom of my heart, I can honestly say you are the only woman I could ever imagine leaving this show with. You bring out a side of me that I cherish, and I’m grateful for that. From entering together and supporting each other to exiting together and loving each other even more, thank you, Iris. Here’s to many more days and memories yet to come.
Among Kordell and Serena’s many long-term goals? Sticking together.
And the Love Island USA season six winners are still very much in love.
On Kordell’s birthday in May 2025, Serena posted on Instagram, ‘Happiest of birthdays to my dream man! A year later and I’m still smitten. It’s incredible to see you flourish and your dreams materialize before my eyes. I am beyond proud of the person you are becoming day by day, and I can’t wait to celebrate more birthdays with you! Thank you for being an outstanding boyfriend, partner, friend, and making me the happiest girl in the world.’
Love Island USA’s season six runners-up, Leah and Miguel, have managed to continue their relationship beyond the villa. And as Miguel put it, “The days just keep getting better.” Naturally, Leah agrees with him on this point.
Leah posted on Instagram for Miguel’s birthday in March 2025, expressing that he’s always radiated warmth like sunshine to her. She said she would forever appreciate him entering her life, as he has only brought love, tranquility, happiness, security, and unadulterated joy. Even watching paint dry became enjoyable with him around. She admitted that she never thought genuine men like him still existed in reality, let alone in movies. To her delight, Miguel possesses a pure soul, acting with the best intentions towards everything and everyone.
In the year following their third-place finish on Love Island USA’s sixth season in 2024, JaNa and Kenny called it quits in July 2025, according to a reliable source who spoke with TopMob News.
The news came as a shock to fans, who adored their sweet tributes to one another online.
On your birthday in December 2024, he expressed his affection for Pookie Bear, Love, Heart, Nay Nay on Instagram with the words: ‘It has been a blessing to stand by your side over the past few months, witnessing you conquer the world.’
He went on, “Your smile brightens every place you enter, making each room seem more welcoming. Even when the limelight is focused on you, you consistently make others feel cherished, valued, and adored. It’s a mystery how both your inner and outer beauty captivate me so, leaving me spellbound. I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have you in my life.
On Kenny’s birthday in February 2025, I included Jana with a heartfelt message: “You are not only my best friend but also my sanctuary. Sharing life with you brings me joy. Your love gives me the strength to be authentic with you, and for that, I am eternally grateful.
All Stars in 2024, and they ended up finishing third together.
In February, she posted on Instagram saying, “This is just the start,” expressing her gratitude for every supporter who’s been with us throughout our adventure. Truly, your support means the globe to us.
And she was correct that it was only the start of their forever journey.
In March 2025, Josh posted on Instagram: “Our one-year anniversary! It amazes me how patient you’ve been with me all this time. Here’s to many more years together – I hope you know what you’re getting yourself into. My love for you is eternal.
In August 2021, the winners of Love Island UK’s seventh season took their romantic journey from the villa into reality, having faced tests of loyalty during Casa Amor.
In July 2022, they publicly ended their relationship via social media, but a year later, they made up again. Now, Millie and Liam regularly share updates about their shared life on social media, posting pictures of their trips, workouts, and dates, as well as episodes on their joint podcast.
During the second season of “Love Island USA,” which premiered in summer 2020, the couple fell in love. However, they publicly announced their separation in January that followed.
The first season champions of ‘Love Island USA’ (who stayed together from day one) remained a couple for several months until late 2019, when they decided to part ways. In a post shared on Instagram Stories, Zac stated that the split was mutual and they left on good terms. Essentially, they had different goals moving forward.
In her statement, Elizabeth expressed that she had hoped for a different outcome, but life doesn’t always go as planned. Sometimes, it doesn’t turn out the way we want it to.
However, she found love again—getting engaged to Gianni Settino in December 2024.
In a July 2024 Instagram post, she wrote for those currently enjoying “Love Island USA”, “indeed, five years later, I’ve formed a new partnership.
After dating for a few months, the second-place contestants of Love Island USA (specifically Alex and his partner) broke up in late November 2019. Each announced their separation on their personal Instagram Stories, with Alex confirming that they are no longer together, expressing that sometimes relationships don’t work out as planned.
Alex clarified that heartache can be tough, expressing that our relationship felt like a beautiful fairy tale to him, yet sadly, not all stories have happy endings.
Despite not winning the show, the beloved couple from Love Island USA attempted to navigate a long-distance relationship over holidays. However, Caro revealed on a YouTube video in July 2020 that she had ended the relationship due to her partner not being as committed as she was, leading to their breakup.
In October 2023, an intriguing development emerged when Caro announced that she had tied the knot with Rene Lacad in September. Later in December, they shared the joyous news of expecting a baby girl. Their little bundle of joy, Amina, arrived in April 2024.
In her Mother’s Day post on Instagram in 2025, she expressed gratitude: “To Amina, thank you for choosing me as your mother.” She emphasized that nothing compares to this feeling.
The U.S. version of the show unexpectedly paired Kyra and Cashel, but Kyra chose to leave to explore their relationship further after sending him home. However, she discovered that he had already rejoined the show. Unfortunately, the musically inclined couple separated in October 2019.
Initially, by the end of November, Kyra and Cashel managed to resolve their differences. Yet, they permanently parted ways in February 2020.
OR
Although they were able to reconcile by the end of November, Kyra and Cashel ended their relationship definitively in February 2020.
On the NoFilter podcast, I shared that we gave it our best shot. Frankly, I feel we’re at distinct stages in life right now…To put it straightforwardly, I believe she may have blocked my number.
Kyra subsequently made appearances on various programs such as “Match Me If You Can” in the year 2021, “The Challenge: USA” in 2022 (where Cashel was also a contestant), and “Love Island Games” in 2023. However, she ultimately found her match outside of the camera’s gaze with dental student and ex-basketball player Tal Sahar in 2024.
In May 2025, Cashel was imprisoned in Utah due to allegations of domestic violence and assault, as per online documents. A month later, fresh accusations of assault and domestic violence were leveled against him.
As reported by NBC News, Cashel has disputed the accusations. His legal representative, Andrew K. Deesing, communicated to the media outlet, “My client and his family are going through an extremely challenging period, and we fervently request that their privacy is preserved as we diligently work towards safeguarding his name and reputation. At this moment in time, we find ourselves at the early stages of this case and have no additional comments to make.
In contrast to many doubters, including fellow villa residents and a majority of Americans, the first season’s couple from the USA, Weston and Emily, actually dated in real life for a short while before eventually deciding to part ways.
She affirmed in a YouTube video from May 2020 that Weston and she are no longer a couple. Currently, she is single. Essentially, they experienced an emotional up-and-down relationship… It was particularly challenging due to the distance, as she was in college.
In the tenth season of “Love Island UK,” the winning couple exited the villa triumphantly, only to part ways a mere two months later, in October 2023.
According to Sammy, the breakup came as a “total shock.”
He mentioned that we’d previously discussed something privately, but since Jess was out of town, we hadn’t had a face-to-face chat yet. In his Instagram story, he expressed that he wanted to make things clear – specifically, he was interested in trying to salvage our relationship and felt this approach would be the most considerate option.
Sammy mentioned, “Even though things didn’t go as planned today, I truly believe Jess is a remarkable lady, and I sincerely hope she thrives and prospers.
By mid-2025, Sammy graced the screen on “Love Island: All Stars,” where he cultivated a romantic bond with Elma Pazar. However, speculations about their breakup started swirling around in June 2025.
In the inaugural winter edition of “Love Island,” the victorious couple grew close swiftly, managing to maintain their relationship even amidst the numerous challenges that the villa posed.
They moved in together in 2020, but called it quits three years later.
Paige expressed during an appearance on ‘Love Island: After Sun’ in June 2023 that she and Finley are still close friends. However, she noted that they grew distant over time. But then in August 2024, Finley unveiled a new relationship on Instagram. Although he initially kept her identity hidden, The Sun confirmed in June 2025 that he’s currently dating Jess Hale.
2020’s runners-up on “Winter Love Island”, Siannise and Luke, discovered their romance within the villa. They continued dating for approximately a year following the show until they parted ways in November 2021.
Since then, he has found love once more and became engaged to Chelsea Menna just under a year later, in the year 2022.
In a turn of events that stirred widespread disapproval in the U.K., the scaffolder found himself disliked intensely when he chose Molly over Shaughna Phillips during his time at Casa Amor. The audience’s sentiment ultimately led to the removal of the couple from the villa through public voting.
For a period of three years following their time on the island, they remained as a pair, but in the year 2023, they chose to go their individual ways.
In the following year, they both participated in ‘Love Island: All Stars’. Molly paired up with Tom Clare and emerged as the winners of that season. Simultaneously, Callum developed a relationship with Jess Gale, finishing as runners-up. However, Callum and Jess parted ways in 2024 (with Callum now dating Yasmin Deplidge), while Molly and Tom continue their relationship.
Initially adored by fans at the start of season six, Nas eventually lost favor among them following his decision to break up with Demi Jones and pursue a relationship with Eva after Casa Amor.
Regardless of being eliminated from the program, Nas and Eva stayed as a couple, and they officially confirmed their relationship in July 2020.
Despite speculation suggesting an engagement in August 2023 following sightings of Eva wearing a ring on her left hand, Nas clarified in March 2024 that they had actually split up.
Contrary to engagement rumors circulating in August 2023 after pictures emerged of Eva with a ring on her finger, Nas announced in March 2024 that the two had ended their relationship.
Sadly, Eva and I have chosen to part ways. There’s no animosity involved, it was a mutual and entirely friendly decision we both agreed upon.
He mentioned, “For the last few months, we’ve been attempting to resolve issues, but ultimately concluded that this was in our mutual best interest. We’re content with how things have turned out.
Nas went on to appear on Love Island: All Stars in early 2025, but ultimately left the villas solo.
In the winter season, an unlikely pair ended up placing third, but unfortunately, they parted ways a few months following their departure from the villa.
As a lifestyle expert, I’d rephrase that quote as follows:
“In June 2020, I openly admitted to MailOnline that our relationship has ended. To be clear, the decision seemed to originate more from his side than mine, but we remain amicable. The lockdown and our geographical distance played a significant role in pulling us apart. Communication efforts seemed to dwindle, which unfortunately led to a natural drift.
Luke has formed a relationship with Lucie Donlan, who appeared in season five as a blonde bombshell. The couple made their relationship official in July 2020, and they became engaged the following year.
Regarding Demi, she graced the screen of “Love Island: All Stars” in the year 2024, during which she encountered Luis Morrison. Unfortunately, their relationship didn’t last beyond that year.
In a relatively subdued manner, the romantic duo from season six finished in fourth position. They continued their relationship for several months afterwards, but ultimately called it quits in June 2020.
Jess announced to her Instagram audience that she and Ched have parted ways, but they remain close friends. She expressed gratitude for the support everyone has shown them throughout their journey in the villa.
Oh, it’s frustrating isn’t it, when the victorious couple from a reality show ends up splitting soon after? It’s especially disappointing given that Greg was one of the most recent additions to the villa, joining only weeks before the final episode, and yet, they managed to be the fan-chosen winners for season five. However, their relationship didn’t last long as they parted ways just weeks following the finale.
Following some slight disagreement over the details of their separation (it seems Greg, a rugby player residing in Ireland, ended it through text messaging), Amber expressed on ‘Loose Women’ that “The demanding nature of our careers and the distance between us had always been an issue. We were aware of this problem from the beginning, so I’m not quite sure what shifted. I hoped we could make things work, but it is what it is, in essence.
Greg asserted on RTE’s The Late Late Show that, given her widespread popularity in the UK with brands and events vying for her presence, she undeniably deserves her success. Consequently, he chose to return to Ireland to pursue his own endeavors.
However, he found a new connection and kicked off 2025 by proposing to his love Jeanni Mulder.
Following a passionate beginning in their relationship, the Instagram influencer and the boxer soon established themselves as the strongest couple during season five. Therefore, it was quite unexpected that they placed second instead of winning.
In July 2024, they became engaged, marking exactly half a year since the arrival of their daughter named Bambi. However, things took an unexpected turn in August 2024 as Molly-Mae announced their separation.
She expressed deep sadness by sharing that her and Tommy’s relationship has concluded on Instagram Stories. Regardless, she will eternally appreciate the single most valuable aspect of her life – her stunning daughter. The fact remains that without them, their child wouldn’t exist, and she will always prioritize her above all else.
In a May 2025 episode of her Amazon Prime show “Molly-Mae: Beyond the Surface,” she disclosed that she and Tommy decided to try rekindling their romance.
Without a doubt, the couple who faced significant controversy during season five of the show managed to silence their critics in 2019 when they continued their relationship after leaving the villa and finished in fourth place.
In my experience as a lifestyle expert, I firmly believe that trust is the cornerstone in any relationship. It’s crucial not to blindly accept everything you read in the media. Above all, it’s essential to remain humble and grounded, especially when fame comes knocking at your door. Stay rooted, my friends!
However, the pair broke up in March 2020.
Maura penned a message on Instagram Stories stating that she and Curtis had decided to go their separate ways after sharing a wonderful experience together during their time in the villa. She thanked everyone for their support of their relationship.
Despite this, Curtis’ Love Island adventure didn’t come to an end there. In 2023, he briefly participated in Love Island: Games and later joined Love Island: All Stars two years after that. During the latter, he and Ekin-Su finished in third place. However, they parted ways a few months following their appearance on the show.
In her May 2025 Instagram post, as reported by People, Ekin-Su expressed that she and Curtis have chosen to move forward separately. She emphasized that this was a difficult decision, but one made with much affection and consideration for each other. In her Instagram Stories, she wrote about his remarkable character and the memories they shared, both within and outside of the villa, which she will always treasure.
Approximately a year following their victory in Love Island season eight in 2022, Davide revealed that he and Ekin-Su had ended their relationship.
Ekinsuofficial and I have parted ways, a statement I made on Instagram in June 2023. I am thankful for the cherished memories and experiences we built together, and I wholeheartedly wish her only success and happiness. During this challenging period, I kindly ask everyone to show understanding and respect towards our decision. Rest assured, I will continue to stand by Ekin in every way possible.
Not long after, the pair rekindled their romance. However, they ended up calling it quits again.
In January 2024, Ekin-Su shared on Instagram that the previous 18 months had been a turbulent journey, similar to every relationship, according to screenshots from Cosmopolitan UK. She mentioned that she and Davide had a deep affection for each other but wanted the relationship to succeed. Regrettably, she has chosen to part ways. Breakups are difficult for any couple, and they ask for their privacy to be respected during this time. They cherish the moments they shared together.
In the year 2024 during summertime, Davide found himself in a romantic relationship with Iris Au. On the other hand, Ekin-Su had a brief fling with Curtis post their third-place finish on Love Island: All Stars in early 2025. Regrettably, they parted ways just a few months later.
Despite starting their journey relatively late among the other couples in the villa (with popular contestant Ovie entering the scene during the well-known Casa Amor events and India joining later), this couple managed to reach the finals, securing third place in season five of 2019.
However, the professional basketball player and the model quietly parted ways later that year.
She expressed to MailOnline that it’s undeniably tough, as any separation is, but it’s especially challenging when played out in public. However, she asserted that she will pull through and added that she feels fortunate to have a tight-knit circle of female friends who have been extremely supportive during this time.
In early 2025, India appeared on Love Island: All Stars but left the show single.
On the first day of season five, Lucie and Joe began partnering up. However, following his elimination from the villa, Lucie swiftly changed her romantic attention by dating several other men, even acknowledging deep feelings for a committed Tommy. Thus, it came as quite a shock to fans when they disclosed that they were in a relationship after their season had concluded.
Much like their first romantic encounter, the surfer and the sandwich maker found that their second try also didn’t last, leading to their separation in early December of 2019.
Though Lucie is currently betrothed to Luke from season six, it appears that Joe, who attempted to express interest during All Stars in 2024, is relishing his current unmarried state.
After wrapping up their time together in the villa, Anton and Belle broke up as one of the later season five pairs, but they continued their friendship, with Anton clarifying that any future romantic involvement was unlikely.
As a lifestyle expert, I would put it this way: “To clarify, such a connection isn’t in the cards for me. We’ve grown to be more like friends, and taking things further would feel like courting a sister, which is certainly not what this is about now.
In the year 2024, Anton competed on the revamped version of Love Island, titled “Love Island: All Stars”. There, he formed a relationship with Georgia Harrison and together they finished in fifth place. Yet, their romance didn’t last long as they eventually parted ways.
