‘Love Island USA’s Huda Mustafa Reveals Shocking Real Reasons Behind Chris Seeley Breakup
While some fans might’ve been shocked when Love Island USA‘s Huda Mustafa and Chris Seeley ended their relationship in the Season 7 finale, Mustafa herself wasn’t. In fact, she knew how their date was going to play out with “100%” certainty.
When Swooon caught up with the Season 7 breakout star, Mustafa reflected on all of the factors that led to her decision to just be friends with Seeley. Some of those issues were brought up by the then-couple on camera — the two couldn’t seem to agree on the matter of PDA, for one — but Mustafa revealed there’s more to the story.
“There were a lot of things that weren’t shown that ultimately made me come to my decision,” she began. “Those were so important to show because I think it was kind of an out-of-the-blue thing for a lot of people, and like, in actuality, it wasn’t out of the blue.”

What does Mustafa feel like viewers didn’t see? “He would make commentary about women in ways that I didn’t want to hear off-camera,” she claimed. “I would hear those things, and I was like, ‘OK, I don’t want to hear that.’ Like, you could talk about that with your boys. Don’t talk about it in front of me.”
She also alleged that Seeley had a “wandering eye” while they were a couple. “And there were times he would gravitate toward other women, and if I was there, he would ignore me,” she said. “He would just not acknowledge me when I walked into a room.”
Mustafa thinks anyone would’ve ended things had they been in her shoes. “It wasn’t a good feeling,” she admitted. “It’s like, those are basic things. Bare f**king minimum. Why am I going to settle?”
Though Mustafa anticipated the breakup going into their final date, she still feels like Seeley “play[ed] victim” and pushed her in that direction, so he could avoid making a decision himself.
“People don’t realize the way certain people act in situations to make themselves look better,” she said. “I wanted it to be a collective decision. But it was kind of all on me in that moment, and it was honestly unfair because I felt like all the pressure.”
