Love Island USA Season 7 winners Bryan Arenales and Amaya Espinal finally addressed their relationship at the reunion on August 25. The couple, who won the $100,000 prize after leaving the Fiji villa in July, had sparked breakup rumors after fans noticed they no longer followed each other on Instagram.
The rumors intensified when Amaya reposted emotional TikToks, including one reading, “pov: how it feels when you know you have to leave him alone,” and another featuring Olivia Pope from Scandal with the caption, “Never again.”
At the reunion, hosted by Ariana Madix and Andy Cohen, Bryan addressed cheating speculation. “They’re trying to just throw any hate my way,” he said, with Amaya laughing beside him. He explained that his “lapse in judgement” happened while working as a host and pouring shots for crowd shots, and clarified that it wasn’t about being unfaithful. Amaya added, “I’m also not a woman that would be with someone who doesn’t respect me. So if I’m with him and still with him currently, it’s because the relationship dynamic is healthy and great.”
Before the reunion, fans had noticed the couple unfollowing each other on Instagram, fueling breakup chatter. Although photos of each other remain on their accounts, Amaya’s recent TikTok activity hinted at feelings of disappointment.
Inside the villa, the couple appeared very close. Bryan shared that his mom loved Amaya and even shed a tear when she left. Amaya called herself a “sensitive gangster” and joked that Bryan’s mom was one too. During the finale, Amaya told Bryan, “Every decision led me to find my personal Prince Charming. You made me believe fairytales are true because I am currently living in one with you.” Bryan responded, “You said I was the water to your fire, but you are my peace to this madness.”
The reunion made it clear that despite rumors and social media speculation, Bryan and Amaya are still together and maintaining a healthy relationship.
