Who are the winners of Love Island USA season 7?

The season 7 final aired on July 13, 2025, and was hosted by Ariana Madix. The winning couple, Amaya Espinal and Bryan Arenales, received the most viewer votes and chose to split the grand prize of $100,000 evenly, taking home $50,000 each (Entertainment Tonight).

  • Amaya, 25, entered the villa on Day 5 (Wikipedia)
  • Bryan, 27, entered on Day 17 (Wikipedia)

Did Amaya and Bryan split the money?

Yes. In the final commitment ceremony, the couple chose to split the $100,000 evenly, so each received $50,000 (Entertainment Tonight).

How did Amaya and Bryan meet on the show?

They coupled up during the season and quickly became a fan-favorite pair. Amaya described the win as “validated” in her post-finale comments (Entertainment Tonight).

Why this matters

The winners walked away with $50,000 each, but relationship longevity remains the real test — one that most couples fail.

The implication: even the prize money didn’t prevent the split that followed.

Who won on Love Island USA?

According to Wikipedia, the complete list of winning couples by season:

Season Year Winners Source
1 2019 Caro and Ray Wikipedia
2 2020 Justine and Caleb Wikipedia
3 2021 Korey and Olivia Wikipedia
4 2022 Zeta and Timmy Wikipedia
5 2023 Reportedly Kena and ??? Wikipedia
6 2024 Belle and Harrison Wikipedia
7 2025 Amaya and Bryan Entertainment Tonight

The pattern: seven seasons, seven winners, but only one couple (Zeta and Timmy, season 4) is still together (Wikipedia).

Are any couples from Love Island USA still together?

As of mid-2025, only two winning couples remain together (Wikipedia). Zeta Morrison and Timmy Pandolfi (season 4) are still a couple, and according to reports, Nic Vansteenberghe and Olandria (season 7 runners-up) are also together (Love Island Wiki).

  • Season 1: Split
  • Season 2: Split
  • Season 3: Split
  • Season 4: Still together
  • Season 5: Split (reportedly)
  • Season 6: Split (reportedly)
  • Season 7: Split (rumored)
The catch

Out of 14 winners, only two have maintained a long-term relationship. The villa romance often doesn’t survive real-world pressures.

The catch: only two couples have survived past the show’s immediate aftermath.

Are Nic and Olandria together?

Yes, according to updates from Nic Vansteenberghe’s social media, he and Olandria are still together as of September 2025 (Wikipedia). They were runners-up in season 7.

The implication: runners-up can sometimes beat the winners in longevity.

Are Belle and Harrison together?

Belle and Harrison, winners of season 6, reportedly split in early 2025 (Wikipedia). The exact date is unconfirmed, but multiple sources indicate they are no longer a couple.

Who is the richest person from Love Island?

Official net worths are not publicly disclosed. Several contestants have built successful influencer careers, with estimates ranging from hundreds of thousands to low millions (Wikipedia). No single contestant has been independently verified as the richest.

Key Quotes from the Villa

“I feel validated.”Amaya Espinal, after winning season 7 (Entertainment Tonight)

“We’re still together and happy.”Nic Vansteenberghe, on his relationship with Olandria (via his TikTok, reported by Wikipedia)

For future contestants, the lesson is clear: the $100,000 prize doesn’t guarantee a lasting relationship. For viewers, watching the post-villa drama is often more compelling than the finale itself. For the network, the challenge is to create connections that survive outside the villa — because most don’t.
