Love Island USA Reunion: Huda Addresses Unseen Heart Rate Footage

The hot seat may have gotten Huda Mustafa‘s heart racing.

During the Love Island USA season seven reunion, airing on Peacock on August 25, viewers had the opportunity to watch previously unseen footage of the contentious Heart Rate challenge. In this challenge, Huda caused a stir among the islanders by dancing suggestively with NSFW moves on Chelley Bissainthe’s partner, Ace Greene.

The fresh footage shows Huda playfully licking the outside of Ace’s underwear at the firepit, followed by her dancing provocatively bare-bottomed in his direction when they moved to the floor. This happened despite Chelley already having kissed partner Chris Seeley earlier on.

During the reunion, Huda conceded that she may have overstepped boundaries for some people, and she sincerely regrets if her actions caused discomfort. She emphasized that everything was consensual, with no restrictions set, and this was made explicit at the outset of the challenge.

For Chelley, Huda’s actions sparked their bitter disagreement as they perceived it as a breach of friendship trust.

Chelley stated that she truly believed she had a valid reason for her actions. She often emphasized the importance of consent in their group, with everyone expressing agreement, saying ‘Yes, we’re open to anything.’ However, it’s important to note that their bond went beyond just consent, encompassing friendship and sisterhood. It was never about withholding consent to this particular situation.

Chelley also questioned Huda’s motivations for grinding on Ace.

She explained, “When you take on specific tasks, it’s always with a purpose since you’re intrigued by the person involved. I believe you didn’t feel any attraction towards Ace. Given that we’re friends, I believe my actions were fully warranted, as they went as far as they did.

Chelley expressed it in a simpler way by saying, “I don’t feel the need to explicitly state that I should not be physically intimate with someone I’m connected with. It’s more like an unspoken rule for me.

Following Huda’s appearance on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast where she claimed she had been mistreated, Olandria reported an increase in online hostility.

She stated, ‘I was mistaken for being a bully.’ That remark only intensified the hostility. I believe it’s not fully comprehended how much that behavior affected me psychologically. It was truly distressing.

In a response to accusations, Huda clarified that she had only just left the villa and was still trying to process her experiences. She further explained, “I was overwhelmed by a lot happening outside of the villa at that time. That’s why I couldn’t think clearly in that moment about what to say as there were so many things on my mind that I needed to address.

She added, “I was getting hated on as well racially.” 

And she’s not the only islander who addressed their beef with Huda during the sit-down. 

In addition, Olandria Carthen publicly criticized the fitness influencer for failing to support her when confronted with racially charged remarks following the event.

Inside the villa, we were extremely close,” Olandria explained. “Upon leaving the villa and regaining our phones, I found myself receiving a lot of hostile messages from Huda’s followers. So, I felt compelled to tell her, ‘Given how close we are, and considering your past friendship with Chelley, it seems crucial for you to address your fans about the racism.’

According to Olandria, once they arrived in L.A., Huda told them she would make a post to her fans.

Olandria said, ‘You know what? Just thank you, that’s enough for me.’ After a couple of days, she still hadn’t spoken to her community. This left Olandria feeling upset.

Following Huda’s appearance on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast where she claimed to have faced bullying, Olandria reported an increase in harsh online criticism.

She stated, “People assumed I was a bully,” but it only made things worse. “I believe you might not comprehend the impact of that assumption on me. It messed with my mind terribly, and it was very harmful.

Huda explained that she needed time to absorb the villa experience as she had only just left it. She mentioned that there was a lot going on for her beyond the villa, which is why she struggled to respond immediately, stating, “I had so many things to handle at the time that I needed to address, and that’s why I wasn’t able to come up with a response right away.

She added, “I was getting hated on as well racially.” 

In response, Olandria stated, “I understand your perspective, but your image wasn’t displayed on George Floyd’s body.” This version aims to maintain the intended message while using more appropriate and respectful language.

Ultimately, Huda apologized for not speaking out to defend her costars.

She apologized, expressing her disapproval of any form of hatred or bullying. She didn’t want anyone to experience such negativity, including you. In her opinion, such behavior is unacceptable. She strongly condemns racism as it is completely wrong.

In response, Olandria stated, “I understand where you’re coming from, but your likeness was not found on George Floyd’s body.

Ultimately, Huda apologized for not speaking out to defend her costars.

She expressed her apologies, stating, “I detest the idea of anyone being subjected to hate or discrimination. I specifically don’t want anyone experiencing bullying or prejudice like that. I firmly believe it’s unjust, and racism is certainly abhorrent.

The full Love Island USA season seven reunion is now streaming on Peacock.

Read on to check in with more couples from the franchise.

In 2018, the participants of Love Island UK’s fourth season departed the villa as a couple, but their relationship didn’t last much beyond their return from Mallorca. Since then, they’ve each moved on separately.

In July 2025, Ellie revealed that she was now engaged to her unnamed boyfriend, marking a milestone one year since they first made their relationship public.

In the eleventh season of Love Island UK, the pair initially crossed paths. Uma eventually departed the island along with Wil on day 37, as he had been ousted following Uma’s selection by Reuben Collins.

In the month of July 2025, exactly one year following their separation, Uma revealed that she and Wil were planning to get married. Sharing the happy news on Instagram, she captioned an image showcasing her ring, “We’ve been holding onto a thrilling secret.

For the reality star, staying on Love Island after Wil’s exit didn’t seem like an option.

She declared without a moment’s hesitation on the Not My Bagg podcast that her decision was instant, stating that she felt strongly about being with Wil.

She shared that she had formed a connection with someone else, explaining this to Lisa and Joe Baggs. It takes her a while to feel as close to someone as she did with Wil. With only two weeks left, she didn’t want to feign a new relationship or pretend to have a different connection. Instead, she preferred to be truthful about the situation.

In simpler terms, Amaya compared her business relationship with Bryan to standing firmly on her toes in her profession, suggesting a strong foundation. During the finale, she described her journey on Love Island USA as one where she found various paths that made her feel misunderstood and required her love to be toned down. However, every decision led her to meet Bryan, who she views as her Prince Charming. He accepts and nourishes her emotionally and reminds her of her ability to soar like a bird, no matter the challenges. The couple, both feeling misunderstood yet connected, won the seventh season of Love Island USA and looked forward to growing together, just as Amaya mentioned they would continue to water their relationship. Bryan also shared his appreciation for Amaya’s eccentricity, saying it keeps him amused, and for pushing him to grow as a partner, expressing gratitude for her influence in his life.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d put it like this:

“In every captivating journey of love, Olandria and I were the pioneers who embarked together on day one and reached the climax in the finale. Yet, we kept our audience guessing as we delved into various connections, constantly shifting between friendship and romance.

During our final moments, Olandria shared a profound insight: ‘The secret to a successful relationship lies in the strong foundation of friendship, where there’s no expectation or pressure-just two individuals getting to know each other intimately over time.’

Reflecting on our own journey, I couldn’t help but ponder if we were destined for each other all along. Nic added: ‘Looking back, I believe the beauty of our relationship came from overlooking the subtle signs at first. We entered the experience deeply engaged with others, but I admired you secretly from afar. The twists and turns in our journey were unexpected-we even faced moments when we felt lost and apart. However, when fate presented us with the opportunity to be together again, it became clear that there was a bond between us that we hadn’t yet discovered.’

So, what does the future hold for #NicOlandria? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain-we have been given a chance to explore this newfound connection and see where it takes us.

Nic wasn’t quite certain about our destination, if we’d be partners, lovers, or close friends, he added. But I’ve cherished your presence as a guide through the winding roads of life, and everything seems to fit perfectly,” (paraphrased version)

In the final episode, Iris shared her joy about her ‘Love Island’ experience, stating, “It’s been remarkable because what started as a strong friendship with you at the beginning has evolved into someone I’m eager to know better in reality.”

Pepe, who finished in fourth place along with Iris, expressed that their bond had grown stronger each day and that he feels deeply for her. He said, “From the very first day together, we cared for each other, and now as we leave, our care for each other has only deepened. You bring out a side of me that I cherish, and I am grateful for that. Thank you, Iris, for everything – here’s to more days and memories together.

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: ‘Happy Birthday to my real-life dream man!’ A year later, I’m still captivated by you. Watching your dreams unfold and your growth is nothing short of amazing. I am beyond proud of the person you are becoming each day, and I eagerly look forward to celebrating more birthdays with you! Thank you for being an exceptional boyfriend, partner, friend, and making me the happiest woman around.

The love story between Leah and Miguel from Love Island USA’s sixth season has endured, continuing even after they left the villa. As Miguel put it, each day just gets better, a sentiment that Leah wholeheartedly shares.

Leah posted on Instagram for Miguel’s birthday in March 2025, ‘You radiate sunshine all the time, everywhere! I’ll always be thankful that you entered my life, bringing nothing but love, tranquility, happiness, security, and pure delight. My darling, who could make even watching paint dry enjoyable. I couldn’t have imagined a better man myself; I thought men like you were mythical or just existed in films. You possess the most sincere soul I’ve been fortunate enough to encounter, with the kindest 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, as confirmed by a source to TopMob News.

The news came as a shock to fans, who adored their sweet tributes to one another online.

He penned down on Instagram for her birthday in December 2024: “My beloved Pookie Bear, my dear – the essence of my heart and Nay Nay. It’s been a privilege to stand by your side these past few months, witnessing you conquer the world.

As you enter any space, your radiant smile illuminates it, making everyone around feel cherished and valued,” he went on. “Even with all the attention focused on you, you consistently manage to bring warmth and care. You’re not only stunningly beautiful on the outside but also within, which is why I often find myself lost for words in your presence. Considering everything, I am incredibly fortunate to have you as part of my life.

In February 2025, I invited Jana as a birthday gift for Kenny. Here’s what I said: “You aren’t just my best friend-you’re my sanctuary. Life is more enjoyable with you by my side. Your love empowers me to be authentic with you, and I am eternally grateful for that.

Previously, both Josh and Sophie had each sought their potential partners on Love Island separately – Josh made it to the final three with Lauren Richardson in 2015, while Sophie entered the villa five years later. However, fate seemed to conspire when they both competed on Love Island: All Stars in 2024, ending up in third place together.

Back in February, she posted on Instagram saying, “We’ve only just started out,” followed by a heartfelt thanks to those who have been with us throughout our voyage. To put it simply, your support truly makes the universe of difference.

And she was correct that it was only the start of their forever journey.

In March 2025, I penned down on Instagram: “Our first year anniversary! I’m still in awe of how patient you’ve been with me all this while. Here’s to a lifetime together, I hope you know what you’ve signed up for. Love you forever.

In August 2021, the winners of Love Island UK’s seventh season, who had faced trials in Casa Amor, took their love story from the villa into reality outside of it, following their victory in the show.

Back in the sweltering summer of 2022, they shattered my heart when they announced their separation on social media. But, oh joy! A year down the line, these lovebirds have flown back into each other’s arms. Today, Millie and Liam remain an integral part of my daily scroll as they keep sharing snippets of their adventurous journeys, sweat-drenched workouts, and romantic rendezvous-all while keeping us updated on their joint podcast.

 
 

In the second season of Love Island USA, broadcasted during the summer of 2020, these two fell in love. However, they later confirmed their split in January that followed.

The champions of the initial run of “Love Island USA” (who formed a pairing on the first day and remained together) continued their relationship for several months, but decided to split towards the end of 2019. In a post on his Instagram Stories, Zac stated that the separation was agreed upon and they parted ways amicably. He added that they had different visions for their future.

Reflecting on the situation, I found myself wishing for a different outcome, but life isn’t always as we hope it to be.

However, she found love again—getting engaged to Gianni Settino in December 2024.

5 years on, if you’re tuned into Love Island USA just like me, here’s some exciting news: I’ve recoupled! (Instagram post from July 2024)

In easier language: After dating for a while, the second-place couple from Love Island USA, Alex and his partner, ended their relationship in November 2019. They both announced the breakup on their individual Instagram Stories, with Alex stating, “Alex and I are no longer together.” He added, “Things don’t always work out as planned.

Alex shared that “experiencing heartbreak can be tough,” further noting, “For me, our relationship felt like a classic fairy tale romance, yet sometimes circumstances simply don’t align.

Despite not emerging victorious, the beloved duo from Love Island USA attempted to navigate long-distance, traveling to celebrate holidays together. Nevertheless, Caro officially declared the dissolution of their relationship in a YouTube video released in July 2020. She expressed that her partner seemed less committed to the relationship compared to her own level of dedication. This is why she decided to part ways with him.

In October of 2023, Caro stunned everyone with an exciting announcement: she had married Rene Lacad the previous month. Then, in December, she shared another piece of joyous news – she and her new spouse were expecting a baby girl. Their daughter, whom they named Amina, was born in April 2024.

Amina’s Instagram post on Mother’s Day 2025 reads: ‘Thank you for choosing me as your mother,’ expressing a heartfelt gratitude.

The U.S. version of the show saw an unexpected pairing between Kyra and Cashel. After sending him home, Kyra decided to leave the show to explore a potential relationship with Cashel. However, she discovered that he had already returned to the show. Unfortunately, despite their shared love for music, the couple parted ways in October 2019.

By the end of November, Kyra and Cashel had made up. But unfortunately, their relationship came to an end permanently in February 2020.

By November’s close, they were back on good terms. However, by February 2020, Kyra and Cashel decided to part ways for good.

Or simply:
They had reconciled by the end of November, but their relationship ended permanently in February 2020 (for good).

He expressed that they gave it their best shot during a conversation on the NoFilter podcast. In essence, he mentioned that they seem to be at distinct stages in life…and, in truth, he believes she has blocked his phone number.

After making an appearance on several shows, Kyra was also featured on Match Me If You Can in 2021, The Challenge: USA in 2022 (which Cashel also participated in), and Love Island Games in 2023. However, it was off-camera where she found her match – dental student and ex-basketball player Tal Sahar, whom she started dating in 2024.

In May 2025, Cashel was imprisoned in Utah due to allegations of domestic violence and assault, as per online records. A month later, additional charges of assault and domestic violence were brought against him.

As reported by NBC News, Cashel has refuted the accusations. His legal representative, Andrew K. Deesing, communicated to the news outlet, “My client and his family are going through an extremely challenging period, and we kindly request that their privacy be maintained as we put forth our best efforts to safeguard his name and standing. At this point, we’re still in the initial stages, so we won’t be providing any additional comments at present.

Although many people in the villa and much of America had doubts about their future together, the Season 1 couple from the USA, Weston and Emily, actually dated off-screen for a short while before eventually parting ways.

She affirmed in a May 2020 YouTube video that Weston and she are no longer a couple. Now, she is single. Essentially, they experienced a tumultuous relationship… It was particularly challenging due to the distance, especially since she was attending college.

In the tenth season of Love Island UK, the winning couple left the villa victorious. However, they announced their separation only two months later, in October 2023.

According to Sammy, the breakup came as a “total shock.”

As a lifestyle expert, I’d rephrase that as: “Jess is currently out of reach, but our last conversation was left unresolved. In an Instagram Story, I expressed my desire to clarify our situation personally. To set the record straight, I’ve been hoping to salvage our relationship and believe addressing it face-to-face would be the most respectful course of action.

Even though things didn’t turn out as expected today, I still believe that Jess is truly remarkable, and I sincerely hope she thrives in the future.

By spring of 2025, Sammy graced the screen on “Love Island: All Stars”, where he cultivated a romantic connection with Elma Pazar. However, whispers of a breakup between them started circulating in June 2025.

In the debut winter season of Love Island, the victors quickly formed a pair, standing strong against the challenges that the villa threw their way.

They moved in together in 2020, but called it quits three years later. 

Paige stated during an interview on ‘Love Island: After Sun’ in June 2023 that she and Finley remain close friends. However, she mentioned that they grew apart over time. Fast forward to August 2024, Finley showcased a new relationship on Instagram. Initially, the woman he was dating remained unidentified, but later, in June 2025, it was confirmed by ‘The Sun’ that Finley is dating Jess Hale.

In the winter season of “Love Island” 2020, contestants Siannise and Luke formed a romantic connection and continued their relationship outside the villa for approximately one year. However, they ultimately decided to part ways in November 2021.

Yet, he has moved on and become engaged to Chelsea Menna not long after, by the end of 2022.

During his time at Casa Amor, the scaffolder became one of the most despised individuals in the U.K., as he chose to end his relationship with beloved contestant Shaughna Phillips for Molly, which ultimately led to their elimination from the villa after public voting.

During that span of three years away from the island, they remained together until the year 2023, at which point they chose to go their own ways.

In the subsequent year, they both participated in ‘Love Island: All Stars’. Molly paired up with Tom Clare and emerged as the winners of that season. Concurrently, Callum developed a relationship with Jess Gale and they ended up as the runners-up. However, Callum and Jess parted ways in 2024 (with him now dating Yasmin Deplidge), whereas Molly and Tom are still together.

Initially, Nas was well-liked at the start of season six. However, his popularity waned when he chose to leave Demi Jones for Eva following Casa Amor.

Despite being eliminated from the program, Nas and Eva continued their relationship. They officially declared their bond as a couple in July of 2020.

Despite speculations of an engagement in August 2023 after photos emerged of Eva wearing a ring on her left hand, Nas publicly announced in March 2024 that they had ended their relationship.

Eva and I chose to part ways in our relationship,” Nas shared on his Instagram Story. “It wasn’t due to any animosity or misconduct-rather, it was an agreed-upon and entirely peaceful decision.

He commented, “Over the last few months, we’ve been attempting to find a resolution, but eventually concluded that this was the optimal course, and now, 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 an unusual twist during the winter season, one unexpected pairing finished third, but unfortunately, their relationship didn’t last long; they parted ways a couple of months following their departure from the villa.

In simpler terms, Demi stated to MailOnline in June 2020 that the relationship is over for good. She believes it ended more on his part than hers, but they remain friendly. The lockdown and their distance from each other contributed to the breakup, as there seemed to be a lack of effort in communication, which led them to grow apart.

Since then, Luke has formed a relationship with the beautiful brunette from season five, Lucie Donlan, and they officially confirmed their love in July 2020. The duo became engaged shortly after.

In the year 2024, Demi made an appearance on the show “Love Island: All Stars”. During her time there, she crossed paths with Luis Morrison. Unfortunately, their relationship didn’t last beyond that year as they parted ways.

In a relatively subdued manner, the couple from season six ended up finishing in fourth position. They continued dating for multiple months until they split up in June 2020.

Just wanted to clarify, Ched and I have parted ways, but our friendship remains strong. I hope he continues to thrive, as I’ve appreciated your support during our time in the villa.” – Jess, in a message to her Instagram followers.

It’s disappointing indeed! Isn’t it frustrating when the winners of a contest are the ones who part ways shortly after? Just as the finale approached, Greg joined the group late. To everyone’s delight, the beloved pair emerged victorious in season five. However, they called it quits only a few weeks later.

Following some debate and exchanges between the pair regarding the circumstances of their breakup (apparently Greg, a rugby player residing in Ireland, ended it through a text message), Amber explained on Loose Women that “the demands of our careers and the distance between us were always an issue. We had always been aware of this, so I’m not sure what shifted. I did want to try and make it work, but things just are as they are, essentially.

In reference to Greg, he asserted on RTE’s The Late Late Show that, given she resides in the UK, constantly sought after by brands and events alike, it’s only natural she receives such recognition. 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 an intense beginning to their relationship, the Instagram influencer and the boxer soon emerged as the strongest pair in the fifth season. However, it came as quite a shock when they placed second instead of winning.

In July 2024, which was six months following the birth of their daughter named Bambi, they got engaged. However, Molly-Mae surprised everyone with a breakup announcement in August 2024.

She regretfully shared on Instagram Stories that her and Tommy’s bond has concluded. “I shall remain eternally thankful for the supremely valuable aspect of my life – my precious daughter,” she stated. “Without us, she wouldn’t exist. She will continue to hold the topmost position in my heart.

In a May 2025 episode of my beloved Amazon Prime show, “Molly-Mae: Behind the Scenes,” I shared an exciting update – Tommy and I decided to rekindle our relationship after careful consideration.

Without a doubt, the couple who faced intense controversy during season five managed to silence their critics by transforming their relationship into something more substantial even after leaving the villa in 2019, finishing in fourth place.

On the UK’s “This Morning”, Maura shared some insights into their successful relationship, stating, “We trust each other deeply, take news about us with a grain of salt, and above all, keep our feet on the ground to avoid the pitfalls of fame.

However, the pair broke up in March 2020. 

Maura announced on Instagram that she and Curtis have chosen to go their separate ways after sharing a wonderful journey together within the ‘Love Island’ villa. She expressed gratitude to everyone for their support throughout their relationship. Despite their separation, Curtis continued his ‘Love Island’ adventure by participating in ‘Love Island: Games’ in 2023 and later ‘Love Island: All Stars.’ However, his partnership with Ekin-Su also ended a few months after the show.

In an Instagram post in May 2025, as reported by People, Ekin-Su expressed that she and Curtis have chosen to part ways. She noted that this decision was difficult but was made with mutual love and respect. Ekin-Su also shared that Curtis is a remarkable individual, and the memories they created, both inside and outside of the villa, will always hold a special place in her heart.

Approximately a year following their victory in Love Island season eight in 2022, Davide revealed that they had ended their relationship.

In a post on Instagram last June, he shared that his relationship with Ekin had ended. He expressed gratitude for their shared experiences and good times, and wished her only the best. During this challenging period, he asked everyone to respect his decision. Regardless, he will do his best to support Ekin in any 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, much like any relationship. She expressed that she and Davide had deeply cared for each other and wanted to make the relationship work, but unfortunately, a recent decision was made to part ways. Breakups are never simple, she added, and hoped for privacy during this difficult time. They both appreciated the moments they shared together.

In summer 2024, Davide resumed his journey of love with Iris Au, while Ekin-Su had a brief fling with Curtis following their third place finish on Love Island: All Stars in early 2025. Unfortunately for them, their relationship didn’t last beyond several months.

Although Ovie entered and India joined later than most couples in the villa during the popular Casa Amor episodes of season 5 in 2019, this dynamic duo managed to reach the final round, eventually earning the third-place position.

However, the professional basketball player and the model quietly parted ways later that year.

She shared with MailOnline that while breakups are challenging for everyone, this one is particularly difficult given its public nature. However, she expressed confidence in her ability to cope and added that she’s fortunate to have a tight-knit circle of friends who are providing support during this tough 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 started partnering up. However, when Joe got eliminated from the villa, she promptly shifted her attention by dating several other men, even confessing to having deep feelings for a committed Tommy. Consequently, it came as quite a shock to fans when they announced they were in a relationship post-season.

However, much like how their first love story ended, the surfer and the sandwich maker’s second reunion also didn’t last, ending in a split that occurred early in December 2019.

Meanwhile, although Lucie is now betrothed to Luke from season six, it appears that Joe, despite trying his luck on All Stars in 2024, is relishing his bachelorhood at present.

During the second season of series five, Anton and Belle became the pair to part ways shortly after leaving the villa. Despite this, they continue to maintain a friendship; however, Anton has made it clear that there will be no romantic reconciliation between them in the future.

The creator of the fitness app firmly stated to Mail Online, “Absolutely not, it’s not that sort of relationship.” He further explained, “Given our current friendship, it would feel akin to dating a sibling, in essence. Our relationship has evolved beyond that point.

In the year 2024, Anton made an appearance on the show “Love Island: All Stars”. There, he and Georgia Harrison finished in fifth place as a couple. Unfortunately, their relationship didn’t last long after the show ended.
