Internet Reacts To 'Love Island USA' Finale

Love Island USA has crowned its season 7 winners.
During Sunday's (July 13) finale, Amaya Espinal and Bryan Arenales were revealed as the winners of Love Island USA 2025. The pair split the $100,000 grand prize after being voted by the viewers as America's favorite couple.
Nic Vansteenberghe and Olandria Carthen were named the runner-up couple. Couples Iris Kendall and Pepe Garcia-Gonzalez and Huda Mustafa and Chris Seeley also made it to the finale, earning fourth and third place, respectively.
Sunday's finale came just after "OG" islanders Chelley Bissainthe and Ace Greene's shocking departure from the villa following a fan vote.
Before the winners were crowned, the final four couples went on extravagant dates, where most reaffirmed their connections. Amaya and Bryan, who made history as the first Latino couple to win the show, made their relationship "exclusive" during their date. Nic and Olandria said they would continue to explore their connection outside of the villa following their friends-to-lovers journey during the show. Huda and Chris, however, broke things off during their romantic dinner date, deciding to move forward as friends.
Season 7 was filled with controversies, including abrupt islander exits due to racism allegations and online hate directed towards contestants. However, viewers ultimately rallied behind Amaya, who was beloved for remaining unapologetically herself throughout several failed connections in the villa, and Bryan.
The Love Island season 7 reunion has been set for Monday, August 25.

nic and olandria genuinely feel like a rom com because we, the audience, clocked their connection way before they did and then we got to see them realise what we saw from EARLY and i think thatβs so unique, especially on a show like love island #loveislandusa pic.twitter.com/8uyjsgC8Nb
