Are ‘Love Island USA’ Winners Amaya Espinal & Bryan Arenales Still Together?
All of the contestants go into Love Island USA looking for a relationship, but not all of them leave with one. Sometimes, the couples that enter the finale are the exception, like Season 6’s Serena Page and Kordell Beckham and Leah Kateb and Miguel Harichi. Both pairings are still going strong about a year later, according to the Beyond the Villa spinoff.
Some, however, don’t last after the show ends. For one, Season 6’s JaNa Craig and Kenny Rodriguez recently split. The Season 6 cast drama has us wondering about the status of the Season 7 couples, particularly winners Amaya Espinal and Bryan Arenales. Are they still together ahead of the reunion episode? Keep reading for everything we know.
Are Amaya Espinal and Bryan Arenales still together?
It’s only been about two weeks since the finale episode, but it didn’t take any time for rumors to circulate that there was already trouble in paradise. However, the couple appears to still be in a good place. On July 23, Bryan posted a TikTok video with his fellow Season 7 winner. “When everyone thinks you’re over meanwhile this is us,” Bryan captioned the video, which features Amaya leaping into his arms.
What have Amaya Espinal and Bryan Arenales said about their relationship after the show?
The couple has had nothing but positive things to say about each other in their interviews immediately following the show. More recently, in a Hollywood Reporter Q&A that went up on July 21, Amaya talked about the man that makes her “feel so understood and seen.”
She also described her perfect day, which she followed up with: “And now I’m going to be able to share those moments with Bryan, which I’m super excited for because if those moments mean a lot to me, I’m sure it will mean a lot to him, too.”
A day later, US Weekly posted an update on Amaya and Bryan’s relationship. “[Amaya and I] are exclusive and taking steps to [be boyfriend and girlfriend],” the latter explained. “We care deeply about each other and we don’t want to rush things. Her happiness is very important. My happiness is very important. We got the love that we got [from fans] because we’re letting things happen naturally instead of doing stuff for the public eye, and we’re gonna continue doing that.”
“This is all the start of it,” Amaya added. “You’ll definitely be seeing me and Bry Bry.”
Did Bryan Arenales cheat on Amaya Espinal?
The TikTok rumor mill ran wild again after the show. Fans began speculating that Bryan was unfaithful to his Love Island USA partner when a woman alleged that she saw him at a Los Angeles club with someone else. Bryan seemed to address the claims in the aforementioned TikTok post.

On July 25, Bryan uploaded a video of himself buying a Rolex watch in NYC’s Diamond District. Amaya, who’s a native New Yorker, celebrated her return home with her family, documenting the night through Instagram Stories on July 27.
