A Deep Dive Into Amaya Espinal, ‘Love Island USA’s New Bombshell Stirring Up Drama
In true bombshell fashion, Amaya Espinal has shaken up the Love Island USA villa.
Ever since her Day 5 entrance, Amaya has become a hot topic of conversation for Season 7 viewers (and the other Islanders). She started off her run by making out with contestant Jeremiah during a steamy “baseball” challenge, which ruffled the feathers of his partner, Huda. Amaya then started exploring a connection with Ace, but as soon as he explained that he wanted to set boundaries with her, it turned volatile.
However, the latest episode might’ve had the most explosive moment yet: Amaya got into a heated argument with Chelley about her and Ace’s interest in each other.
Needless to say, Amaya has already become one of the most talked-about contestants in the short time she’s been in the villa. As we wait for more drama to unfold, we decided to see what we could find out about the bombshell, beyond what we’ve learned on screen.
Where is Amaya Espinal from?
When she and fellow bombshell Hannah were making their introductions, Amaya told the group that she’s from New York City.
How old is Amaya Espinal?
Amaya is 25 years old. The other Islanders’ ages range from 22 to 27, so that puts her about in the middle of them.
What does Amaya Espinal do for a living?
On the show, Amaya told the Islanders that she works in a cardiac unit a hospital. According to an Instagram post, she’s been a registered nurse since December 2021.

Looking further into Amaya’s Instagram, it appears that she’s also a content creator, often sharing photos of her travels, and an occasional model. She worked on a Danessa Myricks Beauty campaign earlier this year, according to a TikTok video she shared.
Who is Amaya Espinal currently with on Love Island USA Season 7?
Officially, Amaya is coupled up with Ace. He chose the New Yorker during Season 7’s first re-coupling in Episode 6, but they had a rocky start to their relationship. In Episode 8, they both agreed that they don’t want to pursue anything further with each other, so Amaya will likely start to explore other options.
