Get ready for a slew of new bombshells.
During the forthcoming seventh season of Love Island USA, the cast is prepared to discuss and clear up all the summer’s drama, including the controversial Heart Rate Challenge that strained Huda Mustafa and Chelley Bissainthe’s friendship.
In a trailer for the Peacock special released on August 21st, Ariana Madix (who co-hosts the episode with Andy Cohen) hinted at an “unrevealed, extended version” of the game. This game required the Islanders to intensify each other’s heart rates by dancing sensually for one another.
Nevertheless, Huda’s efforts to win over Ace Greene put her at odds with Chelley, who had developed a romantic bond with him during their time on the island, as they disagreed about whether lines were overstepped.
Although the reunion preview didn’t show the women’s responses to the clip, it was evident that there were tensions between them concerning their strained relationship.
In simpler terms, Chelley, aged 27, expressed to the 24-year-old that she perceived two distinct personalities. She mentioned instances where he spoke about introducing his daughter, which she looked forward to, but upon leaving these settings, there was an abrupt change in demeanor.
Apart from Chris Seeley and Olandria Carthen, Huda also faced criticism because they claimed she did not defend them during post-show media interviews when discussing their shared experiences on the island.
“That s–t hurt, bro,” Olandria, 27, said as she became emotional. “We were close.”
Regarding Amaya Espinal and Bryan Arenales, who won the season’s competition and shared a $100,000 cash prize, they couldn’t hide their joy. Bryan mentioned that his mother was fond of his new girlfriend, while Amaya, aged 25, expressed, “She’s my best friend now.
However, it seems that the couple has been embroiled in a scandal involving infidelity following their return from Fiji. Bryan, who is 28 years old, confessed to a “misstep” in judgment since production ended.
I’m thrilled to share that the highly-anticipated season seven reunion of “Love Island USA” is set to air on August 25th at 9 p.m. ET, exclusively on Peacock. Until then, stay tuned for the latest scoops about our islanders’ romantic journeys!
In 2018, the contestants from Love Island UK’s fourth season might have exited the villa as a pair, but their relationship didn’t last much longer after they returned from Mallorca. Since then, they’ve each pursued their own paths.
In the month of July 2025, Ellie revealed that she was now engaged to her unnamed boyfriend, a development happening a year after they first made their relationship public.
The pair initially crossed paths during season 11 of “Love Island UK.” On day 37, Uma departed alongside Wil following his elimination from the island, which occurred when he was selected for departure by Reuben Collins.
In July 2025, a year following their separation, Uma revealed on Instagram (where she showed off the ring) that she and Wil were now engaged. The post read: “We’ve kept a secret between us all this time.
For the reality star, staying on Love Island after Wil’s exit didn’t seem like an option.
She made her choice without a moment’s hesitation, as she declared on the Not My Bagg podcast. Her heart clearly belongs to Wil.
She shared with hosts Lisa and Joe that she had developed feelings for another person. It takes her time to build the level of comfort she once shared with Wil, but with only two weeks left, she didn’t want to pretend or force a new relationship. Instead, she chose to be truthful about her feelings.
In the villa, Amaya discovered various paths during her journey. Some of these paths made her feel unappreciated and required her love to be diluted. However, each choice led her to encounter her personal Prince Charming – Bryan. He fills her emotional needs and supports her vibrant spirit, reminding her she can soar no matter where she lands. As the winners of Love Island USA season seven, they flew off together, embracing their mutual understanding as two individuals who often feel misunderstood. Bryan praised Amaya for making him laugh with her eccentricities, acknowledging that she inspires his personal growth. He looks forward to advancing together, nurturing the relationship they’ve cultivated.
In the finale, it was only Olandria and Nic who had started on day one and made it to the end. Throughout the competition, they kept viewers guessing as they explored various connections and fluctuated between being just friends and rekindling their relationship. During the final show, Olandria expressed her thoughts about relationships: “I believe that a strong foundation for any relationship lies in friendship-an unconditional bond without expectations or pressure, allowing individuals to get to know each other better over time.” She further revealed, “During our journey, I came to realize that the person who has been by your side throughout it all might just be the one you were destined to find.”
The runners-up couldn’t help but ponder if they were meant to be together all along. Nic added, “I think what made our relationship unique was our failure to recognize the signs early on. Initially, we were deeply involved with other connections, but I had always harbored feelings for you. As time passed, we both encountered challenges that none of us could have anticipated. We got lost, confused, and even separated from the villa at times. But a sign finally appeared-an opportunity to reconnect and strengthen our bond, something we hadn’t fully recognized yet.”
As for what the future holds for #NicOlandria?
Nic wasn’t certain about what our relationship would look like – if we’d be companions, romantic partners, or close friends. But he appreciated having you there with him throughout the journey of life, and it felt natural together.
Reflecting on my Love Island adventure, I can’t help but feel grateful – especially towards the end of the season when my friendship with Iris evolved into something deeper. During the finale, Iris shared her thoughts, saying, ‘My journey here has been amazing because it started as a strong friendship with you and now I’m leaving knowing you as someone I’m eager to explore more in the real world.’
Pepe and I also found ourselves finishing in fourth place, but we’re optimistic about what lies ahead. As the days went by, our bond deepened, with each shared moment strengthening it even further. Pepe expressed his feelings eloquently when he said, ‘From day one, you were my closest friend here. Now, I can’t imagine leaving without you. You’ve brought out a side of me that I cherish, and for that, I am thankful. From caring for each other during our time on the show to continuing to care even more in the real world – thank you, Iris. Here’s to many more days filled with love 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 ideal man!’ A year has passed, and I can’t believe how much I’m still smitten by you. It’s awe-inspiring to witness your growth and the realization of your dreams right before my eyes. I am incredibly proud of the person you are becoming day by 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 girl around.
The long-lasting couple from Love Island USA’s sixth season, Leah and Miguel, continue to thrive outside the villa, with Miguel expressing that each day only gets better for them. Unsurprisingly, Leah concurs.
Miguel’s birthday post on Instagram in March 2025, penned by Leah, expressed that he embodies a constant warmth like sunshine. She is eternally thankful for his presence in her life, as he consistently brings love, tranquility, happiness, security, and pure delight. Even watching paint dry with him is enjoyable. According to Leah, she couldn’t have envisioned someone better herself, thinking that genuine men like Miguel were hardly found except in films or myths. She describes his soul as the most pure she has encountered, with commendable intentions towards all and everything.
Following their third-place finish on ‘Love Island USA’ season six in 2024, JaNa and Kenny parted ways in July 2025, according to a report from TopMob News. This split occurred one year after they had started dating.
The news came as a shock to fans, who adored their sweet tributes to one another online.
On her birthday in December 2024, he posted on Instagram, ‘My beloved Pookie Bear, my heart, my Nay Nay.’ He expressed that having her by his side for the past few months has been a blessing, and he’s enjoyed watching her conquer the world.
Your smile illuminates any space you enter,” he said. “Even under the strongest stage lights, you always manage to make people feel cherished, valued, and appreciated. You’re as radiant on the inside as you are on the outside, which is why I often find myself speechless. I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have you in my life.
In February 2025, I invited Jana for Kenny’s birthday. Here’s what I wrote: “You aren’t merely my best friend, but a sanctuary for me. Sharing life with you brings joy. Your love empowers me to be authentic around you, and for that, I am eternally grateful.
All Stars in 2024, ending up in third place together.
She posted on Instagram in February, ‘We’re only just getting started.’ A heartfelt thank you to all of you who have been with us throughout our journey; your support truly makes a world of difference.
And she was correct that it was only the start of their forever journey.
In March 2025, Josh posted on Instagram, ‘One year anniversary with you!’ He admitted, ‘I can’t believe you’ve stuck around this long! Your patience has a lifetime’s worth of reward in store, so I hope you know what you’re getting yourself into. Love you forever.’
In the summer of 2021, as the winners of Love Island UK (2021), my partner and I took our love story beyond the villa’s walls and into reality. We had faced a significant challenge when loyalty was tested in Casa Amor during season seven, but we emerged victorious and stronger than ever.
In July 2022, they shared news of their split through social media platforms. However, a little over a year later, they made up once more. Nowadays, Millie and Liam regularly share updates from their joint life on social media, including posts about trips, workouts, dates, and on their joint podcast as well.
In the second season of Love Island USA that premiered during summer 2020, this romantic couple discovered love, but they later confirmed their separation in January of the following year.
The first-season champions of Love Island USA, who were together from day one without any separation, dated for multiple months but ended their relationship by the end of 2019. In a statement posted on his Instagram Stories, Zac confirmed that the split was mutual and they parted ways cordially. He added that they had different aspirations moving forward.
As a lifestyle expert, let me share my thoughts: “While I often dream of a different outcome, life doesn’t always unfold as we might wish. Sometimes, it takes unexpected turns.
However, she found love again—getting engaged to Gianni Settino in December 2024.
In the post she made on Instagram back in July 2024, she wrote, “If you’re currently tuned into Love Island USA, here’s some news for you: Five years after the show, I have reconnected.
The second-place couple from the first season of Love Island USA dated for several months but broke up in late November 2019, as each posted on their Instagram Stories. The lacrosse coach said, “Alex and I are no longer a couple,” expressing that sometimes relationships just don’t work out.
Alex conveyed that “heartache can be tough,” expressing further, “For me, our relationship was like a captivating fairy tale, yet sadly, not every love story has a happy ending.
As a devoted admirer, I followed the beloved couple from Love Island USA closely, even though they didn’t emerge victorious. Despite the challenges of long-distance, they made an effort to be together during holidays. However, Caro shared in a YouTube video released in July 2020 that she had ended the relationship. She expressed that her decision was due to feeling that he wasn’t as committed to our relationship as I was, which led me to make the difficult choice to part ways with him.
However, it was revealed in October 2023 that Caro had secretly married Rene Lacad the previous month. Later in December, they announced they were expecting a child, and by December’s end, it was known to be a girl. Amina, their daughter, came into the world in April 2024.
Amina’s note reads: ‘Thank you for considering me as your mother.’ In her Mother’s Day 2025 Instagram post, she expresses that there is nothing more significant than this.
The U.S. version of the show featured an unexpected pairing between Kyra and Cashel. After sending him home, Kyra decided to leave the show to pursue a possible relationship with him. However, she discovered that he had already returned to the show. Sadly, this musically talented duo parted ways in October 2019.
Initially, Kyra and Cashel made up by the close of November, but ultimately, they decided to part ways permanently in February 2020.
OR
By late November, there was a reconciliation between Kyra and Cashel, but their relationship came to an end for good in February 2020.
He shared that they gave it their best shot, as he expressed on the #NoFilter podcast. In essence, he feels they are at distinct stages in their lives…to be frank, he believes she has blocked his phone number.
After making an appearance on various shows such as “Match Me If You Can” in 2021, “The Challenge: USA” in 2022 (where Cashel also participated), and “Love Island Games” in 2023, Kyra eventually found her match away from the cameras with dental student and former basketball player Tal Sahar in 2024.
In May 2025, Cashel was imprisoned in Utah due to allegations of domestic violence and assault, as stated in online records. By June of the same year, fresh accusations of assault and domestic violence were brought against him.
As reported by NBC News, Cashel has refuted the accusations, with his legal representative, Andrew K. Deesing, conveying to the media outlet, “My client and his family are going through an incredibly challenging period, and we request that their privacy be observed as we put our best efforts into safeguarding his name and reputation. At this point, we’re just starting out in this matter and have no additional comments to make at the moment.
In spite of many others doubting their longevity and most of America being skeptical about their relationship, the first season’s US couple, Weston and Emily, did actually date in real life for some time before eventually parting ways.
In a YouTube video from May 2020, she clarified that her relationship with Weston has ended. Currently, she is single. They experienced quite a turbulent journey, and the long-distance aspect was particularly challenging given that she was attending college at the time. The distance made it all the more difficult.
As a lifestyle enthusiast, I’d rephrase that as follows: In the heat of Love Island UK Season 10, my beloved winning couple left the villa victorious, but unfortunately, our romance didn’t withstand the test of time. By October 2023, we had to part ways, bringing an unexpected end to our love story.
According to Sammy, the breakup came as a “total shock.”
During a private discussion, things were left unresolved because Jess is currently absent, and we haven’t had an opportunity for face-to-face conversation yet. To clarify, I wanted to explore if our relationship could be salvaged, and I believed that taking a respectful approach would be the best way forward.
Sammy emphasized, “Even though things didn’t go as planned today, I truly believe that Jess is an exceptional woman, and I sincerely hope she finds great success in the future.
In the beginning of 2025, Sammy made an appearance on the revamped version of “Love Island,” named “Love Island: All Stars.” During his time there, he developed a romantic connection with Elma Pazar. However, by June 2025, whispers of their separation began circulating.
The victorious pair from the inaugural winter edition of “Love Island” promptly formed a couple upon winning, managing to stay united amidst the numerous challenges that the villa posed throughout their stay.
They moved in together in 2020, but called it quits three years later.
Paige mentioned during an interview on ‘Love Island: After Sun’ in June 2023 that despite drifting apart, she and Finley have remained great friends. However, in August 2024, Finley started a new relationship, which he showcased on Instagram. Although they initially chose to keep her identity hidden, The Sun confirmed in June 2025 that Finley is dating Jess Hale.
As a seasoned lifestyle connoisseur, let me share an intriguing tale from the world of reality TV. Last year on Winter Love Island, the dynamic duo Siânnise and Luke found their hearts intertwined within the villa’s vibrant atmosphere. Their romance blossomed into a beautiful relationship that spanned approximately a year. However, in November 2021, they decided to part ways, marking an end to their romantic journey, for now.
Yet, he later discovered love once more and became engaged to Chelsea Menna barely a year afterward, in the year 2022.
In a turn of events that sparked widespread disapproval in the United Kingdom, the scaffolder’s decision to choose Molly over Shaughna Phillips while they were both at Casa Amor resulted in an immense backlash. Over time, viewers growing fond of Shaughna eventually voted the new couple out of the villa due to this choice.
For the past three years, I’ve been sharing life off the island with this person, but come 2023, we made the decision to go our separate ways.
The next 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 finished as runners-up. However, Callum and Jess broke up in 2024 (with Callum now dating Yasmin Deplidge), while Molly and Tom continue their relationship.
Initially, Nas was widely admired at the start of season six. However, his popularity waned following his decision to end things with Demi Jones and subsequently pursue a relationship with Eva after Casa Amor.
Nas initially enjoyed much fan support, but he lost it when he broke up with Demi Jones to be with Eva post-Casa Amor.
Despite being eliminated from the show, Nas and Eva continued their relationship and officially confirmed it as a couple in July 2020.
Despite speculation about their relationship status in August 2023, when Eva was photographed wearing a ring on her ring finger, Nas officially announced in March 2024 that they had separated.
In an Instagram post, Nas shared that he and Eva have chosen to part ways in their relationship. There’s no animosity or fault involved – it was a joint and entirely cordial decision.
He mentioned, “For the last couple of months, we’ve been attempting to find a resolution, but eventually concluded that it was most suitable, 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.
During the winter season, an unanticipated pairing finished in third position. However, they parted ways a few months later following their departure from the villa.
In simpler terms, Demi shared with MailOnline in June 2020 that the relationship is now ended completely. She mentioned that the separation seemed to originate more from his side than hers, but they remain amicable. Due to the lockdown and living far apart, lack of communication was a significant factor that led to them growing apart.
Since then, Luke has formed a relationship with the stunning Lucie Donlan from season five. They publicly confirmed their relationship in July 2020, and they became engaged the following year.
Speaking of Demi, she was a contestant on “Love Island: All Stars” in the year 2024, where she crossed paths with Luis Morrison. Regrettably, their relationship didn’t last beyond that year.
In a relatively subdued manner, the couple from season six ended up finishing fourth. After that, they continued dating for several months until they parted ways in June 2020.
Jess announced to her Instagram audience that she and Ched have parted ways but remain close friends, and expressed her gratitude for the support received from everyone since their time in the villa.
Oh, that was a tough pill to swallow! Isn’t it frustrating when the couple that wins is among the first to part ways? The beloved duo from season five, who came together mere weeks before the finale, were one of the last Islanders to enter the villa with Greg. However, they ended their relationship only a few weeks after winning. What a twist!
As a lifestyle expert looking back on a high-profile breakup, I found myself reflecting on the split between Greg, an Irish rugby player, and his partner, Amber. The specifics of how their relationship ended seemed to have sparked some debate, with Greg reportedly ending things via text message. In a candid conversation on Loose Women, Amber shared her perspective, saying, “I believe the demands of our careers and the physical distance between us were always factors we knew about. I’m not sure what shifted; perhaps we both wanted to make it work, but ultimately, things are what they are.
Regarding Greg, he asserted on RTE’s The Late Late Show that “Given her popularity in the UK, where every brand clamors to work with her and every event wants her present, it’s no surprise she’s successful. I chose to return to Ireland to focus on my own endeavors here.
However, he found a new connection and kicked off 2025 by proposing to his love Jeanni Mulder.
Following an intense initial phase, the Instagram influencer and the boxer emerged as the strongest pair during season five of their reality show. Given this, it was quite unexpected that they placed second instead.
They became engaged in July 2024, precisely half a year following the birth of their child named Bambi, but Molly-Mae unexpectedly revealed their separation in August 2024.
She expressed her deep disappointment in a post on Instagram Stories, revealing that her relationship with Tommy has concluded. However, she emphasized her eternal gratitude for the most precious aspect of her life – her beloved daughter. This daughter was made possible by their union, and she will forever remain her top priority.
In the May 2025 installment of her Amazon Prime show, “Molly-Mae: Behind It All,” she disclosed that she and Tommy had decided to rekindle their relationship.
Without a doubt, the couple who experienced intense drama and were amongst the most divisive in Season 5, managed to defy skepticism by continuing their relationship outside the villa in the year 2019, despite initial doubts about their success.
On the UK’s “This Morning” show, Maura emphasized that mutual trust is crucial, being cautious about news from the media is important, and above all, avoid letting success corrupt your humility, or in simpler terms, remain down-to-earth.
However, the pair broke up in March 2020.
In her Instagram post, Maura announced that she and Curtis had chosen to go their separate ways after sharing a wonderful experience together on Love Island. She expressed gratitude for all the support their relationship received from fans. Afterward, Curtis continued his Love Island stint with a brief appearance in Love Island: Games in 2023 and later participated in Love Island: All Stars two years later. Alongside Ekin-Su, he finished third, but their relationship didn’t last much longer as they broke up a few months after the show ended.
Ekin-Su expressed on Instagram in May 2025, as reported by People, that Curtis and she have chosen to part ways. This was not a simple decision, but one made with deep affection and regard for each other. He is an exceptional individual, and I will forever treasure the moments we shared, both within and beyond the villa.
About a year after Ekin-Su and Davide were crowned champions of Love Island season eight in 2022, he revealed that they had ended their relationship.
2023 saw a change in my relationship with @ekinsuofficial, as I penned on Instagram. I’m thankful for the moments we created together and the chances we seized as a duo. Through this challenging period, I kindly ask everyone to give us our space. Ekin will always have my unwavering support in whatever she does next.
Not long after, the pair rekindled their romance. However, they ended up calling it quits again.
Ekin-Su shared on Instagram in January 2024, as seen by screenshots from Cosmopolitan UK, that the past 18 months have been a mix of highs and lows, similar to most relationships. She and Davide deeply cared for each other, but we’ve decided to part ways recently. Breakups are always challenging, even for any couple, and we kindly ask for our privacy during this time. I cherish the moments we shared together.
In the year 2024 during summer, Davide found himself falling in love with Iris Au, while Ekin-Su, post their third place finish on Love Island: All Stars in early 2025, also encountered a brief romance with Curtis outside of the villas. Regrettably, their relationship did not last beyond several months.
Even though Ovie joined and India arrived later than most couples in the villa during Season 5 of Love Island in 2019 (with Ovie debuting during the notorious Casa Amor episodes), this couple managed to reach the finals, ultimately finishing in third place.
However, the professional basketball player and the model quietly parted ways later that year.
She shared with MailOnline that breakups are challenging, and this one is no exception. However, the difficulty increases significantly when it happens in public view. Nevertheless, she assures everyone that she will manage just fine. Lucky for her, she has a tight-knit circle of female friends who have been providing great support during these tough times.
In early 2025, India appeared on Love Island: All Stars but left the show single.
On the opening day of season five, Lucie and Joe formed a partnership. However, following his departure from the villa, she swiftly developed romantic interests in several other men, even confessing to harbor deep feelings for a taken Tommy. This was unexpected for viewers when they announced they were dating after the season concluded.
Similar to their first-love story, the spark between the surfer and the sandwich maker faded during their second try, leading them to part ways by early December 2019.
Meanwhile, even though Luci married Luke from season six in the past, it appears that Joe is currently relishing his bachelorhood, having not found a partner as of 2024 on All Stars.
During the second season of series five, Anton and Belle became the pair who parted ways shortly after leaving the villa. Despite this, they maintained friendship, but Anton made it clear that any potential romantic reconciliation was unlikely.
The creator of the fitness app stated to Mail Online: “Absolutely not, it’s not that sort of connection.” They added, “We have a very friendly bond now, which feels akin to being siblings. It’s no longer the type of relationship we share.
As a devoted admirer recalling the events of 2024, I proudly reminisce about my participation in the legendary reality show, “Love Island: All Stars.” Though our journey together was short-lived, I had the pleasure of sharing the limelight with the remarkable Georgia Harrison. With hearts ablaze, we reached an impressive fifth place, but alas, destiny had other plans, and our bond eventually parted ways.
