Love Island USA’s dramatic seventh season concluded with Amaya Espinal, 25, and Bryan Arenales, 28, emerging victorious in the season finale. The reality series, available on Crave in Canada, has been a hit since its June 3 debut, bringing together young singles in a Fijian villa to seek romantic connections.
Espinal and Arenales, who bonded over their shared Latino heritage, clinched the win after forming a late-season connection. In a heartwarming moment, Arenales shared his gratitude for the emotional support they provided each other. Ultimately, Arenales won the $100,000 prize and chose to split it evenly with Espinal.
The runners-up were Olandria Carthen and Nicolas Vansteenberghe, followed by Huda Mustafa and Chris Seeley in third place, and Iris Kendall and Jose (Pepe) Garcia-Gonzalez in fourth. The show’s host, Ariana Madix, announced a New York reunion for the entire Season 7 cast, set to air on Peacock on Aug. 25.
In a ‘Dominican Cinderella’ ending, Espinal and Arenales solidified their relationship during a memorable date, affirming their exclusive commitment post-show. Love Island USA’s success has made it Peacock’s top mobile entertainment series, with each season bringing fresh drama and viral moments to captivate audiences.
The season faced controversy when contestants Cierra Ortega and Yulissa Escobar left the villa due to past social media posts containing racial slurs. Despite the challenges, the show’s mix of romance, competition, and surprises has solidified its status as a must-watch reality series.
