[Los Angeles, CA] – July 14, 2025 — After a rollercoaster of emotions, fiery recouplings, and unforgettable twists, Amaya Espinal and Bryan Arenales have officially been crowned the winners of Love Island USA Season 7. The final episode of the hit Peacock reality show, which aired on Sunday night, revealed that the fan-favorite couple won both America’s hearts and the $100,000 prize, split evenly between them.
Hosted by Ariana Madix, the grand finale featured the remaining four couples:
- Huda & Chris

Chelley and Ace, who were previously eliminated during Episode 34, just missed their chance at the finale.
🏝️ A Finale Full of Love and Lasting Impressions
The final episode saw the Islanders enjoy their last romantic dates before host Ariana Madix made the big reveal.

Following their win, Peacock also confirmed that the Love Island USA Reunion Special will premiere on August 25 at 6 p.m. PT / 9 p.m. ET, co-hosted by Ariana Madix and Andy Cohen. The network also revealed that Madix will return as the host for Season 2 of Love Island Games, which premieres on September 16.
📺 Love Island USA Season 7: Drama, Romance, and Viral Moments
After the viral success of Season 6, which gave rise to the spinoff Love Island: Beyond the Villa, Season 7 had much to prove. And it delivered.
From the shocking eliminations of fan favorites Jeremiah and Hannah, to Casa Amor heartbreaks like Taylor picking Clarke over Olandria, viewers were kept on edge with unpredictable turns. Emotional highs like Iris and Pepe’s deepening connection were matched by fiery lows, such as explosive disagreements and strategic gameplay.
Host Ariana Madix commented earlier this season in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter:
“This season is a little bit different than last and then last season was a little bit different than the one before, and I think that’s what makes it so fun. We’re just here for the ride and so I’m enjoying seeing how things are playing out.”
⚠️ Controversy in the Villa
Despite its success, the season was not without scandal. Early on, contestant Yulissa Escobar was removed after past videos surfaced showing her using racial slurs. Later, Cierra Ortega, who was coupled with Nic, exited the show just a week before the finale after a resurfaced post also showed her using a racial slur. Both have since issued public apologies.
❤️ What’s Next for the Islanders?
With Amaya and Bryan’s victory, all eyes now turn to the upcoming reunion special, which promises behind-the-scenes revelations, updates on couples, and dramatic confrontations. The couple’s win marks the beginning of a new chapter, not only for them but for their fellow finalists, many of whom gained massive social media followings and brand deals throughout the show.
As Love Island USA continues to grow its fanbase and influence, Season 7 proves that the franchise still knows how to keep audiences glued to their screens — one recoupling at a time.
