Amaya Espinal is confirming what really down in the villa.
The Love Island USA contestant, known to fans as “Amaya Papaya” and co-champion with Bryan Arenales, has recently dished out some juicy details about her fellow islanders, revealing who among them was most active romantically within the shared bedroom.
During her interview on Call Her Daddy’s July 16 episode, Amaya casually mentioned “Huda (Mustafa) and Jeremiah (Brown)” to Alex Cooper, adding a playful “when they were together” with a chuckle.
But that’s not all as Amaya dropped a few more bombshell secrets about her fellow.
Regarding the best advice provider, according to Amaya, it was Olandria [from Carthen] who offered sage counsel. As for the title of the best kisser, that went to Bryan (naturally). When asked about who she believes is the most insincere individual, Amaya pointed to her former colleague Austin Shepard. And the Islander whose parting left her feeling the saddest was none other than Charlie Georgio.
In addition to herself and Bryan, Amaya refers to Olandria, also known as Nic Vansteenberghe, as the pair she believes stands a strong likelihood, apart from them, of succeeding beyond the villa.
It has been discussed among Olandria’s and Nic’s families about get-togethers involving barbecues, and the possibility of visiting each other’s homes, as she elaborated. Given this, it seems quite likely that they will make a compatible pair.
However, the 25-year-old didn’t just disclose NSFW gossip about Huda; she additionally unveiled the most peculiar location where she has ever engaged in intimate activities.
It turns out that not every romantic interest Amaya had prior to Bryan appreciated her sincere emotional nature.
She told Alex that she had reached a point where she felt incredibly misinterpreted, and her thoughts were, ‘Am I the problem here? What could I be doing incorrectly?’
However, during the critical evening at the villa, when Amaya faced harsh comments from several island dwellers, Bryan stepped up to defend her. This act proved to be truly transformative.
She pointed out, “The CVS Pharmacy is where I found it, but not out in public view, rather concealed within the restroom. We took extra care to avoid contact with any items and ensured it was a clean environment.
And on what was occurring when the mood struck? Amaya explained, “I needed to buy some candy.”
Ever since departing from Fiji, the cardiac nurse has expressed how delightfully amazed she feels about the warm welcome and acceptance she encountered in the villa.
She expressed to Alex, “I’m just swamped with gratitude,” she said. “It’s all good vibes, I genuinely feel understood and affirmed.
In my experience as a lifestyle expert, I’ve found that not every potential partner resonated with Amaya’s authentic emotional self before Bryan did.
She shared with Alex that she felt so misinterpreted, and it became a question in her mind: “Is there an issue with me? Or am I making some sort of mistake?”
This version maintains the original’s essence while using more natural, conversational language.
However, on that critical evening at the villa, when tensions ran high and Amaya was given direct criticism by some fellow islanders, Bryan stepped up to defend her. This act proved to be incredibly significant.
She had always found him extremely adorable and incredibly good-looking, she admitted, but upon hearing his voice, it was almost as if confrontations and verbal assaults were being directed at her, causing her to lower her gaze for a moment. Then, he said, “Wait, let’s pause.
She said, ‘I gazed upward and felt as if my eyes were radiating light. That night, he seemed like a knight shielding me, safeguarding me from harm.’

The duo initially crossed paths during the eleventh season of “Love Island UK”. On day 37, Uma parted ways with Wil as he got eliminated from the island following his selection by Reuben Collins in a choice.
In July 2025, exactly a year after parting ways, Uma revealed that she and Wil were now engaged. Sharing the news on Instagram, she playfully expressed, “We’ve been hiding some exciting news!
For the reality star, staying on Love Island after Wil’s exit didn’t seem like an option.
She declared that her choice was obvious, requiring no contemplation whatsoever, as she expressed it on the Not My Bagg podcast. What she desires is to be with Wil.
She shared with hosts Lisa and Joe that she has developed a relationship with someone new. It takes her quite some time to reach the level of comfort she had with Wil, but with only two weeks left, she didn’t want to pretend or force a new connection. Instead, she decided to be truthful about it.
In the villa, Amaya explained during the finale, “I discovered various paths, some of which made me feel unappreciated and required me to dilute my love. But each choice eventually led me to find my true love – you, a man who nourishes me and appreciates my emotional intensity. You reminded me that I can soar regardless of where I perch.”
And they soared away as the winners of Love Island USA season seven. Bryan, who had defended Amaya during a heated discussion, added, “We’re two individuals who often feel misunderstood but connect deeply. Your eccentricities never fail to amuse me. You challenge me to evolve as a partner, and I’m grateful for that. I eagerly anticipate our continued journey forward and, as you said, nurturing the seed we have planted together.
In this reality show, only Olandria and Nic were the initial duo who started on day one and made it to the final round. Throughout their journey, they kept viewers guessing as they navigated various connections and switched between friendship and romantic entanglements.
During the finale, Olandria expressed her belief that a strong foundation for any relationship is friendship, with no expectations or pressure, allowing individuals to learn about each other over time. She admitted to discovering something profound: the person who stood by their side through all the trials might have been the one they were destined to find.
The runners-up couldn’t help but ponder if they were meant for each other from the start. Nic added that the beauty of their relationship stemmed from overlooking these signs at first, as they both became entangled in other connections. However, as they encountered unexpected challenges, they were forced to reconsider and reassess their feelings. They felt lost, confused, and even separated from the villa on different occasions.
A sign finally appeared when Olandria opened the car door while Nic left the villa. This moment served as a turning point in their relationship, giving them the chance to form a bond they hadn’t yet realized was there. So, what lies ahead for #NicOlandria remains to be seen…
Nic added, “I’m unsure if we’ll be partners, lovers, or close friends in the end, but I’ve cherished your presence beside me as we journey through life together, and it all seems perfectly fitting.
During the finale of “Love Island,” Iris shared her joy, stating, “My experience here has been amazing because it started with you as my closest friend, and now I’m leaving excited about getting to know you better in real life.”
Pepe, on the other hand, expressed his feelings by saying, “Our bond grew stronger day by day, and I can honestly say that I could only see myself leaving with you. You bring out a side of me I love, and I’m grateful for that. From caring for each other when we entered together to caring even more as we leave, thank you, Iris. Here’s to many more days and memories to come.”
Both Iris and Pepe found their friendship blossoming into something more significant during their time on the show.
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.
In a heartfelt Instagram post for Kordell’s birthday in May 2025, Serena expressed: “Wishing my ideal man a most joyous birthday! A year has passed, and I’m still captivated by you. Your journey of growth and realization of dreams is nothing short of astounding, and I couldn’t be prouder of the remarkable person you’re becoming day by day. Looking forward to celebrating more birthdays with you! Thank you for being my wonderful boyfriend, partner, friend, and making me the happiest girl around.
A pair who have managed to sustain their relationship past the confines of the Love Island USA villa? That would be the season six runners-up, Leah and Miguel. To quote him directly, “Each day just seems to get better.” It’s not hard to see that she feels the same way.
In a heartfelt Instagram post for Miguel’s birthday in March 2025, Leah expressed that he radiates warmth like a constant sunny embrace. She confessed her eternal gratitude for his presence in her life, as he’s brought nothing but love, tranquility, joy, security, and pure bliss. Even the mundane activity of watching paint dry became enjoyable with him. Leah admitted that she couldn’t have imagined such a man herself, thinking men like Miguel were rare or merely characters from movies. She marveled at his sincere soul, which she found to be one of the kindest and most well-intentioned she’s ever encountered.
Following JaNa and Kenny’s third-place finish in the sixth season of Love Island USA in 2024, they carried on their relationship beyond the screens.
For his dear Pookie Bear, Love, Heart, and Nay Nay, he penned on Instagram for her birthday in December. It’s been a privilege to stand by your side during the past few months and witness your courage as you conquer the world.
He said, “What I love most about my girlfriend is her heart. Her smile illuminates every space she enters. No matter how much attention she receives or how bright the spotlight is on her, she always makes others feel loved, cherished, and valued. She’s as beautiful inside as she is outside, which is why I often find myself gazing at her in awe. I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have her in my life.
I included Jana in the celebration of Kenny’s birthday in February 2025, saying “You’re not just my best friend, you’re my sanctuary. It’s a joy to live life with you. Your affection gives me the strength to be true to myself because of it, and for that, I am eternally grateful.
In previous seasons of Love Island, both Josh and Sophie had each given love a try – Josh reached third place with Lauren Richardson in 2015, while Sophie joined the villa five years later. However, fate seemed to bring them together when they both participated in Love Island: All Stars in 2024, ultimately placing third.
In a heartfelt post on Instagram last February, I couldn’t help but exclaim, “This is just the start!” I am incredibly grateful for each and every one of you who’ve stood by us throughout this incredible journey. Your support truly makes the world go round.
And she was correct that it was only the start of their forever journey.
In March 2025, Josh posted on Instagram: “It’s our one-year anniversary! I can’t believe you’ve stuck with me this long. Here’s to many more years together, I hope you know what you’re getting into. Always love you.
2021 winners of “Love Island UK” took their romance from the villa to reality in August 2021, following a period where their devotion was challenged during Casa Amor in the seventh season.
In July 2022, they publicly ended their relationship via social media, but they reconnected nearly a year afterwards. Today, Millie and Liam frequently share glimpses of their shared life on various platforms, posting about their trips, workouts, and dates. Additionally, they maintain a podcast under their shared name.
During the second season of “Love Island USA”, broadcasted in the summer of 2020, these two individuals fell in love. However, they revealed their separation in January that followed.
The first-season winners of Love Island USA, who were inseparable from day one, remained together for several months until the end of 2019 when they decided to part ways. In a post on his Instagram Stories, Zac explained that their split was mutual and peaceful. They just had different aspirations.
In her words, Elizabeth expressed, “Though I had hoped for a different outcome, life doesn’t always go as planned.
However, she found love again—getting engaged to Gianni Settino in December 2024.
In her Instagram post from July 2024, she wrote, “If you’re tuned into Love Island USA currently, here’s an update: Yes, I’ve reconnected five years later.
In early winter of 2019, the second-place couple from season 1 of “Love Island USA” parted ways after a few months of dating. Each posted about their breakup on their individual Instagram stories. Alex announced, “Alex and I are no longer together,” explaining that sometimes relationships simply don’t work out.
Alex shared that “going through heartache can be tough,” and continued, “For me, our relationship was like a captivating fairy tale, yet unfortunately, not every love story has a happily ever after.
As an ardent admirer, even though my beloved Love Island USA pair didn’t take home the victory, they made a valiant effort to conquer the long-distance challenge by jetting off to each other during the holiday season. But alas, Caro bravely disclosed in a YouTube video uploaded in July 2020 that she called it quits. She expressed her feelings candidly, stating, “He simply wasn’t as dedicated to our relationship as I was.” And so, with a heavy heart, I bid farewell to my beloved couple.
In October 2023, Caro stunned everyone with an exciting revelation: She had married Rene Lacad the previous month. Then, in December, she announced that she and her newlywed husband were expecting a baby girl. Their daughter, Amina, was born in April 2024.
In her Mother’s Day 2025 Instagram post, she expressed gratitude saying: “Amina, thank you for choosing me as your mother. There’s nothing more precious than that.
The U.S. version surprise pair, Kyra and Cashel, parted ways after Kyra decided to exit the show to explore their relationship further, unaware that Cashel had already come back. However, sadly, the music-loving duo broke up in October 2019.
Kyra and Cashel managed to make up by November’s end, but they officially parted ways permanently in February 2020.
On the #NoFilter podcast, he expressed that they gave it their best shot. He believes they are at different stages in life…In all honesty, I believe she blocked my phone number.
After making appearances on various shows such as “Match Me If You Can” in 2021, “The Challenge: USA” in 2022 (where Cashel was also a contestant), and “Love Island Games” in 2023, Kyra eventually found her match off-camera with dental student and ex-basketball player Tal Sahar in 2024.
In May 2025, Cashel found himself behind bars in Utah due to accusations of domestic violence and assault, as stated in public records. A fresh set of charges for assault and domestic violence were leveled against him the following month.
As reported by NBC News, Cashel has refuted the accusations. His legal representative, Andrew K. Deesing, stated, “My client and his family are going through an extremely tough period, and we ask for privacy as we tirelessly work to safeguard his name and reputation. At this point, we’re only in the initial stages of this matter, and we currently have no additional comments.
In contrast to many doubting their longevity, the first season’s American duo, Weston and Emily, briefly dated after the show, but eventually parted ways.
In a heartfelt confession on her YouTube channel back in May 2020, I revealed that Weston and I have parted ways. As it stands now, I’m embracing my singlehood. Our relationship was like a rollercoaster ride, taking us through an incredible journey filled with ups and downs… The long distance aspect made things particularly challenging, especially since I was juggling college life at the same time.
In the tenth season of Love Island UK, the winning couple exited the villa triumphantly, yet they split up merely two months afterward, in October 2023.
According to Sammy, the breakup came as a “total shock.”
He mentioned that we had a personal discussion, but since Jess is currently unavailable, we haven’t had a face-to-face chat yet. In his Instagram Story, he expressed that he hoped for a chance to salvage our relationship and believed this approach would be the most considerate way to proceed.
Sammy remarked, “Regardless of what’s happened today, I believe Jess is a remarkable woman, and I sincerely hope she thrives.
In the beginning of 2025, Sammy made an appearance on “Love Island: All Stars”. During his stay, he developed a connection with Elma Pazar. However, by June 2025, whispers about their potential breakup began to circulate.
In the inaugural winter edition of “Love Island”, the victorious pair swiftly became a couple right away, managing to stay together even amidst the various challenges that the villa posed.
They moved in together in 2020, but called it quits three years later.
Paige stated during an appearance on ‘Love Island: After Sun’ in June 2023 that she and Finley were still close friends. However, she felt they had grown apart over time. Later in August 2024, Finley announced a new relationship on Instagram, which he initially kept private. In June 2025, The Sun revealed that Finley is dating Jess Hale.
In the villa of Love Island during winter 2020, contestants Siannise and Luke fell in love and dated for approximately a year following the show. However, their relationship ended in November 2021.
Afterwards, he discovered love anew and became engaged to Chelsea Menna just under a year since, in the year 2022.
During his time at Casa Amor in the U.K., the scaffolder gained a reputation as one of the most disliked men due to his decision to end his relationship with beloved contestant Shaughna Phillips and pursue Molly instead. In the end, the public’s votes led to their ousting from the villa.
For a span of three exhilarating years post our island adventure, we walked hand in hand, but come 2023, fate had us treading our unique paths once more.
In the year that followed, they both participated in ‘Love Island: All Stars’. Molly paired up with Tom Clare and emerged as the winners of the season. Simultaneously, Callum developed a relationship with Jess Gale, and they were the first runners-up. However, Callum and Jess separated in 2024 (with Callum now dating Yasmin Deplidge), whereas Molly and Tom have continued their strong bond.
Initially beloved at the start of season six, Nas eventually faced a decline in popularity when he chose to end his relationship with Demi Jones and move on to Eva following 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 arising in August 2023, following sightings of Eva wearing a ring on her left hand, Nas clarified in March 2024 that they had indeed separated.
NAS shared on his Instagram Story that he and Eva have chosen to part ways in their relationship. There’s no ill feeling or misconduct involved; it was a mutually agreed upon, entirely friendly decision.
He mentioned, “Over the last few months, we’ve been attempting to resolve issues, but we ultimately concluded that it was in our best interest. Now, we both find ourselves 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 ended up in third position; however, they parted ways a few months later, following their departure from the villa.
Demi stated to MailOnline in June 2020 that the relationship is over for good. She believes the split was more his decision than hers, but they remain amicable. With the lockdown keeping them apart and living far from each other, lack of communication caused their bond to weaken.
Since then, Luke has formed a relationship with Lucie Donlan, who starred in season five and is known for her blonde beauty. The couple officially confirmed their romance in July 2020, followed by an engagement announcement in the year after.
Regarding Demi, she made an appearance on the show “Love Island: All Stars” back in 2024, and it was during this time that she encountered Luis Morrison. Unfortunately, their relationship didn’t last beyond that year as they parted ways.
In the sixth season, a relatively subdued couple finished in fourth position. They continued their relationship for multiple months until they split up in June 2020.
Jess shared that she and Ched have parted ways but remain good friends. She expressed gratitude to everyone who has supported them throughout their journey in the villa.
Aww, that was a tough blow! It’s so frustrating when the triumphant couple is among the earliest to part ways. In this case, Greg, who entered the villa quite late, and his popular partner emerged victorious in season five. Yet, their romance didn’t last long post-finale; they called it quits just weeks afterward.
Following a bit of debate and disagreement between them over the details of their separation (it seems Greg, a rugby player residing in Ireland, chose to end things via text message), Amber stated on “Loose Women” that “I believe our careers and the distance were always an issue. It was something we were aware of, so I’m not sure what shifted. Honestly, I wanted to make it work, but things are what they are.
Regarding Greg, he asserted on RTE’s “The Late Late Show” by stating, “She resides in the UK, her brand is sought after by everyone, every event yearns for her presence – naturally, she deserves all of it. Consequently, I chose to return to Ireland and focus on my endeavors here.
However, he found a new connection and kicked off 2025 by proposing to his love Jeanni Mulder.
Following an intense beginning, the Instagram influencer and the boxer soon established themselves as the strongest couple in season five. Therefore, it was quite unexpected when they ended up finishing as runners-up.
In July 2024, they became engaged, precisely half a year following the arrival of their daughter named Bambi. However, in August 2024, Molly-Mae unexpectedly announced their separation.
She regretfully revealed on Instagram Stories that her relationship with Tommy has sadly concluded. However, she will eternally appreciate the most precious aspect of her life – her stunning daughter. Our union brought her into existence, and she will continue to be my top priority.
However, during an episode of her Amazon Prime series titled “Molly-Mae: Behind It All“, which aired in May 2025, she disclosed that she and Tommy had decided to reconvene their romance.
Without a doubt, one of the most contentious couples from season five were often criticized following their share of turmoil. However, they silenced their critics when they made their relationship last even after leaving the villa in 2019.
On the UK’s This Morning, Maura emphasized three key points about maintaining their relationship: First, trust each other; second, be skeptical of what you read in the media; and most importantly, remain humble and stay grounded.
However, the pair broke up in March 2020.
In her Instagram post, Maura stated that she and Curtis have chosen to go their separate ways after a wonderful time together on the villa. She expressed gratitude towards everyone for their support throughout their relationship. Interestingly, this wasn’t the last we saw of Curtis on Love Island. He participated in Love Island: Games briefly in 2023 and later appeared on Love Island: All Stars two years after that, where he and Ekin-Su finished third. However, their romance ended a few months following the show.
Ekin-Su revealed on her Instagram post in May 2025, as reported by People, that she and Curtis have decided to part ways. She explained that it was a difficult choice, but one made with love and respect for each other. In her Instagram Stories, she described him as an amazing individual, and said that the memories they shared, both inside and outside of the villa, would always be special to her.
Approximately a year following their victory on Love Island season eight in 2022, Davide revealed that they had ended their relationship.
In a post on Instagram in June 2023, he stated that he and Ekinsuofficial are no longer a couple. He expressed gratitude for the shared memories and opportunities, and wished her only the best. During this challenging period, he asked everyone to respect his decision. He pledged to continue offering support to Ekinsuofficial in any way possible.
Not long after, the pair rekindled their romance. However, they ended up calling it quits again.
Over the past 18 months, Davide and I have experienced a series of highs and lows similar to any relationship, as Ekin-Su posted on Instagram in January 2024 (according to screenshots from Cosmopolitan UK). We deeply cared for one another and wanted our relationship to succeed. Regrettably, I’ve decided to part ways with Davide recently. Breakups are always challenging, regardless of the couple. We kindly ask for our privacy during this time. The moments we shared together were precious.
In the year 2024, summertime, Davide embarked on a romantic journey with Iris Au. Simultaneously, Ekin-Su found herself in a relationship with Curtis, which commenced post their third place finish on Love Island: All Stars in early 2025. Regrettably, they parted ways several months afterwards.
Although they entered the villa later than most couples, with popular contestant Ovie appearing during the controversial Casa Amor episodes and India joining afterwards, this couple managed to reach the final round and placed third in Love Island’s fifth season 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, yet every separation is challenging. It’s particularly trying when it occurs under the public eye, but I’ll manage. Fortunately, I 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 opening day of season five, Lucie and Joe formed a partnership. However, following his elimination from the villa, Lucie swiftly developed romantic interests in several other men, even confessing to having strong feelings for a taken Tommy. This left fans quite astonished when they announced their relationship post-season.
Much like the rekindling of their first love, the surfer and sandwich maker’s second chance relationship came to an end around early December 2019, leading them to part ways once more.
As a lifestyle expert, I must say that while Lucie has found love with Luke from season six, it appears that Joe is embracing the freedom of being single in 2024.
After leaving the villa during the fifth season, Anton and Belle became the second couple to break up swiftly. Despite this, they maintained a friendship, but Anton made it clear that there would be no future romantic involvement between them.
The fitness app creator clarified to Mail Online, “Absolutely not. It’s no longer a romantic relationship; it’s more like being close friends, almost like family. So, it wouldn’t be appropriate in the way dating a sibling would be.
In the year 2024, Anton participated in “Love Island: All Stars”. He and Georgia Harrison finished in fifth place together. But, their relationship didn’t last long after that.
As fans began to fear that their beloved character Camilla might not make it through season three, a surprising twist unfolded with Jamie’s entry at the last moment. It was evident whose side he was on, leaving viewers in a swoon.
Despite ending up in second place, Camilla and Jamie have been a strong pair since their initial encounter back in 2017. This loving duo tied the knot in September 2021 and are now proud parents to three beautiful children: Nell, born in October 2020, Nora, who arrived in May 2022, and Brodie, their youngest, born in May 2024.
