Love Island USA Season 7 has come to an end, with Amaya Espinal and Bryan Arenales crowned the winning couple. The pair will split the show’s $100,000 cash prize and leave the villa as both champions and romantic partners.
The season finale aired on Sunday night, concluding what many fans and critics have called one of the most controversial seasons in the show’s history.
This season was marked by off-screen drama that extended beyond typical reality show conflicts. Two contestants, Yulissa Escobar and Cierra Ortega, were removed from the show after past racist comments they made surfaced online. Both have since spoken publicly about the backlash and the threatening messages they received after the controversy.
Host Ariana Madix, who took over hosting duties for this season, also became emotional during the show’s run. She spoke openly about the stress and challenges of managing such a tumultuous season.
Despite the scandals, Love Island USA maintained a strong following, and many viewers tuned in to see how the relationships would unfold. Amaya and Bryan’s victory was welcomed by fans, who saw their connection develop throughout the season.
The Love Island USA reunion is scheduled for August 25, where the cast will reunite and discuss their experiences. The show’s spin-off, Love Island Games, will return for its second season on September 16, also hosted by Ariana Madix.
