What Time Is the ‘Love Island USA’ Season 7 Reunion? Everything You Need to Know
Everybody moved on from Love Island USA Season 7, but we’re still in villa mode. In all seriousness, though, we aren’t the only ones still thinking about the latest season of the reality dating show after the finale aired. Luckily, we have the Love Island USA Season 7 reunion. Given the drama inside the villa and what’s gone on since, we can’t wait to circle back with the Season 7 stars and get some of our burning questions answered. (We need to know who stayed together and who didn’t!)
The Season 7 reunion episode has already wrapped and will hit Peacock on August 25. We’ve already gotten our first taste of what’s in store at the reunion through the trailer. Get ready for shocking confrontations and a lot of tears. So, what time is the Love Island USA reunion? Who will and won’t be there? Swooon has compiled all the latest updates and news about the Love Island USA Season 7 reunion special that you need to know.
When is the Love Island USA Season 7 reunion?
The Love Island USA Season 7 reunion special will air Monday, August 25, on Peacock. Ariana Madix will host the reunion alongside Bravo’s Andy Cohen. Last year, Ariana hosted the reunion special solo, so the addition of Andy is a surprise twist. Andy has hosted countless reunions over the years for The Real Housewives franchise, Southern Charm, and more.
What time is the Love Island USA Season 7 reunion?
The Love Island USA Season 7 reunion special will drop on Peacock at 9/8c. This is the same time episodes of Love Island USA usually drop on the streamer. Let’s hope Peacock doesn’t run into any technical difficulties that could cause delays!
Has the Love Island USA Season 7 reunion already been filmed?
The reunion episode will not be live. On August 12, Cohen confirmed via Instagram that filming was underway after the cast showed up at some point in the afternoon. “Guys, Love Island reunions are no joke,” he said. “We are on dinner break. It is 9:45. We’re going back in there soon.”
He also couldn’t resist giving fans a little tease about what’s to come. “This reunion, it’s good,” he said. “I’m having so much fun with Ariana. She’s amazing, and you know what? I like hosting a reunion with her. So, anyway, Daddy needs some coffee or something.”
They wrapped at 11 p.m., and he filmed a group of fans gathered outside the reunion site. “A well-earned tequila,” he said in his last post of the night, snapping a photo at a bar.
A short while later, Cohen also confirmed that Islanders were shown the “extended version” of the buzzy Heart Rate Challenge, which notably caused friction between contestants Huda Mustafa and Chelley Bissainthe when it happened. The former set her sights on the latter’s partner, Ace Greene, but the show didn’t reveal what happened between them in full. During the August 13 episode of Watch What Happens Live, the host confirmed that the extended cut was “revelatory to the group.”
Which Love Island USA Season 7 cast members aren’t attending the reunion?
Both Yulissa Escobar and Cierra Ortega left the show early for past instances of using racist language. It was safe to assume that Escobar wouldn’t make an appearance at the reunion since she left in Episode 2, and the former contestant confirmed it on social media. “I’m not going to get invited,” she said. “I got kicked out, remember?”
The question of whether or not Cierra would return was more up in the air since she wasn’t removed from the villa until Episode 30. In a July 27 TikTok video, she cleared things up. “At this time, I will not be at the reunion,” she said. “I feel lighter knowing that my perspective, my thoughts and my feelings and my emotions is out there.”
@cierraortegapart one: how I left the villa, media training, fame vs love there are a million and one perspectives floating around about what went down inside the walls of that place. before I begin closing out this chapter of my life, I do feel like my story matters. for those of you who watch & listen through kind eyes and ears without casting judgement, love u lots ❤️🩹♬ original sound – Cierra Ortega
Which Love Island USA Season 7 cast members will appear at the reunion?
In an August 12 Instagram Story, Andy teased that “everybody” returned to film the reunion, so we couldn’t help but wonder if Cierra did show up. But the people who gathered outside of the reunion site didn’t spot her walking into the building. At the very least, they didn’t post it on social media from what we can tell.
They did, however, spot Nic Vansteenberghe and Olandria Carthen arriving together, as well as Iris Kendall and Pepe Garcia. Bryan Arenales and Amaya Espinal also entered together. TMZ also caught a glimpse of Ace and Chelley strolling inside hand-in hand. TJ Palma, Charlie Georgiou, Andreina Santos, Bella-A Walker, Chris Seeley, and Taylor Williams were also photographed at the scene. The outlet claims Clarke Carraway walked in separately from Taylor. After fan speculation that she wouldn’t return for filming, Huda was notably seen leaving the reunion.

Is there a Love Island USA Season 7 Reunion trailer?
There sure is! If you scroll all the way up to the top of this page, you can get a glimpse at the drama to come in the trailer, which dropped on August 21.
Some noteworthy moments to look forward to: Jeremiah Brown and Belle-A Walker address dating rumors, Olandria talks about her “journey” with Nic and if it was worth the wait, Chris confronts Huda about her negative comments regarding him in the press (check out our interview here), and Hannah Fields bursts into tears for reasons unknown.
Andy brings up the rumor that Brian cheated on Amaya after the show. “I had a lapse of judgment,” he says, before the trailer moves on to the host asking Huda to speak about her claims that the other girls bullied her in the villa. Olandria and Chelley appear to get into it with Huda, with the former tearing up.
They also get into Jeremiah’s shocking elimination early in the season, when the other boys in the group voted him off the island. “I’m going through hell right now, and you’re calling me a scammer?” Jeremiah asks.
“Saying that I’m the only person responsible for sending a person home is crazy,” Ace responds. Nic jokingly chimes in that he agrees with “whatever Ace says,” poking fun at the internet’s minion allegations.
Who won Love Island USA Season 7?
The final four couples of Love Island USA Season 7 were Amaya and Bryan, Huda and Chris Seeley, Nic and Olandria, and Iris and Pepe.
In the end, only one couple walked away with $100,000 (and possibly everlasting love), and it was Amaya and Bryan. They split the prize money down the middle and left in an exclusive relationship. Even though there were rumors that they had broken up at some point after the finale, Bryan shut them down in a July 23 TikTok video. “When everyone thinks you’re over meanwhile this is us >>>,” the caption read. The video featured Amaya jumping into her man’s arms.
Has Love Island USA been renewed for Season 8?
Love Island USA has not been renewed for Season 8 ahead of the Season 7 reunion. Given the show’s massive popularity and pop culture phenomenon status, it’s highly likely the show will return for an eighth season. The Peacock reality show was renewed for Seasons 6 and 7 back in 2023, but the streamer hasn’t revealed the fate of Season 8 just yet.
