After a whirlwind summer in Fiji and weeks of speculation on social media, the Love Island USA Season 7 cast is reuniting to set the record straight.
The highly anticipated reunion airs Monday on Peacock at 9 p.m. ET, with Bravo veteran Andy Cohen sharing hosting duties alongside Ariana Madix. Fans are expecting fireworks – and answers – as the islanders face questions about breakups, betrayals, and life after reality TV fame.
The special comes just over a month after Amaya Espinal and Bryan Arenales were crowned winners, marking the franchise’s first Latino couple to take the fan vote since its 2019 debut. While the two walked away with prize money and a loyal fanbase, the bigger question looming is where all the finalists stand today – both romantically and personally.
Amaya Espinal and Bryan Arenales
Amaya, a cardiac nurse, and Bryan, an accountant-turned-real estate agent, are adjusting to life after the villa. In the weeks since the finale, Amaya has already met Bryan’s family in Boston, a moment teased in the reunion trailer. To celebrate their win, the couple even threw out the first pitch at a Boston Red Sox game.
The pair admitted that juggling distance is their biggest challenge, but they’re committed to taking turns visiting each other on the East Coast. “Nobody really knows what we experience except for us,” Bryan said in a Today.com interview. Amaya added that he always makes sure they are “both OK,” even amid the chaos of sudden fame.
Outside of their relationship, Amaya is in talks for a major collaboration with Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty, while Bryan revealed on Watch What Happens Live that he purchased his first Rolex using part of their winnings.
Olandria Carthen and Nic Vansteenberghe
Olandria and Nic remain one of the fan-favorite couples. They recently jetted off to Greece for what Nic affectionately called a “baecation,” modeling together for a swimwear brand campaign. The trip doubled as Olandria’s first time in Europe.
Since leaving Fiji, the two have been nearly inseparable, though they admitted their growing schedules may soon require a joint calendar. They’ve also turned their reality fame into a business opportunity, partnering with NYX cosmetics and Agua de Kefir.
Iris Kendall and Pepe Garcia-Gonzalez
Initially met with skepticism for moving on quickly from their previous partners, Iris and Pepe have since proven doubters wrong. The couple has been spotted together frequently around Los Angeles, including at Selena Gomez’s Rare Beauty launch earlier this month.
Iris has taken her influencer status to new heights, landing a partnership with Victoria’s Secret and starring in The Kid LAROI’s “Hot Girl Problems” music video alongside fellow islander Hannah Fields. Pepe, meanwhile, has been keeping busy with sponsorships, celebrity basketball games, and practice runs with the LA Chargers.
Huda Mustafa and Chris Seeley
Arguably the most dramatic storyline of Season 7 belonged to Huda and Chris. Their breakup in the finale shocked fans and marked one of the most memorable moments in Love Island USA history.
Since then, Huda has become the breakout star of the cast, racking up more than 4.5 million Instagram followers within a month of the finale. She’s been vocal about feeling “bullied” post-show, but her visibility hasn’t wavered. Instead, she’s fueled headlines by stepping out with Too Hot to Handle star Louis Russell. The two went red-carpet official at the premiere of Zach Cregger’s horror movie Weapons and have hinted at their budding romance on social media.
That development is controversial given Louis’s prior appearance on Netflix’s Perfect Match, where he had a different girlfriend. Nevertheless, fans are buzzing about Huda’s rebound.
Chris, on the other hand, has launched a Cameo account and spends time with his fellow islanders. At the reunion, viewers can expect him to address how he feels about Huda’s new relationship and her recent interviews.
What to Expect From the Reunion
The reunion was filmed in New York City two weeks prior to airing and features most of the cast, though a few notable names like Cierra Ortega were absent. According to the trailer, fans can expect candid conversations about loyalty, brand deals, and lingering tension from the villa.
Confirmed attendees include Olandria Carthen, Nic Vansteenberghe, Bryan Arenales, Amaya Espinal, Iris Kendall, Pepe Garcia-Gonzalez, Huda Mustafa, Chris Seeley, Hannah Fields, Clarke Carraway, Taylor Williams, and many more.
With Cohen at the helm, tough questions about romance, social media drama, and rumored feuds are on the table. For fans, it’s a final chance to see the couples – and exes – face off before the cast fully moves into the next phase of their post-Love Island lives
