Love Island USA Season 7 Ends with Romance, Redemption, and Real Talk
Wow, what a finale! Love Island USA season seven just wrapped up and let me tell you, this season had everything—romance, late plot twists, and some real emotional moments. The big winners? Amaya Espinal and Bryan Arenales. These two came in a bit later in the game, but they absolutely captured viewers’ hearts by the end. And in a sweet surprise, Bryan chose to split the $100,000 prize money instead of taking it all for himself—definitely earning some extra love from the fans.
Amaya, a 25-year-old content creator from New York, and Bryan, a 28-year-old accountant from Boston, didn’t find each other until the later part of the series, but when they did, sparks flew fast. Their connection felt genuine, and during their final date in the villa, they made things official. What stood out was their realness. As Bryan put it, “We started kind of late, but everything worked out for us. One thing we always said was we’re just going to be us and see where it takes us.” And it clearly took them straight to the top.

Even better? Both Amaya and Bryan mentioned they plan to donate part of their winnings to charity, especially causes tied to mental health. Bryan opened up about his own struggles growing up, saying he wants to help kids learn how to face their emotions. That kind of honesty was a recurring theme this season.
But let’s be real—this season wasn’t just sunshine and flirty vibes. Online abuse became a serious issue, especially for some contestants like Cierra Ortega. She was bombarded with horrific messages online, including threats and hateful slurs. It got so intense that the show had to air a message condemning cyberbullying. That moment was powerful—and necessary.
Cierra, who was originally coupled with finalist Nic Vansteenberghe, eventually left the villa after past comments she made resurfaced. While she apologized for the racial slur, the public backlash was brutal. Her exit sparked a bigger conversation about accountability and online hate. It’s a reminder that behind the glossy villa shots, these are real people with real lives and struggles.
Still, amidst all the drama, the show managed to deliver what fans came for—love, connection, and some truly emotional journeys. With this season being Peacock’s most-streamed reality series yet, it’s clear Love Island USA has struck a nerve with viewers—and maybe even evolved a little in the process.
If this season taught us anything, it's that love might be unpredictable, but compassion and kindness still win in the end.
