What To Know

  • Jen Terry joined Love Island USA Season 8 as one of three new bombshells in Episode 6.
  • Jen has modeled for major brands.
  • She has a connection to another Season 8 Islander.

Love Island USA Season 8 dropped three bombshells at once at the end of Week 1, disrupting a good number of the couples in the villa. Sol Dean caused cracks to form in Sincere Rhea and Melanie Moreno‘s relationship. Caleb McDaniel started talking with Kenzie Annis, leaving the fate of her couple with Corbin Mims uncertain. And last but not least, Jennifer “Jen” Terry spoke with both Zach Georgiou and Gabriel Vasconcelos.

In the end, who Jen (and the other bombshells) couple up with first will come down to America’s vote, which will be revealed in Episode 8. But because of that, we know that Jen has secured a spot in the villa for the foreseeable future, so we’re breaking down everything we could find out about her background. Like Bryce Dettloff, she’s shot modeling campaigns for some big brands, which you can read all about below.

How old is Jen Terry?

Jen is 23 years old, and she started modeling at 20. When it comes to the age range of the Love Island USA Season 8 cast members, Jen is right in the middle of the pack.

Where is Jen Terry from?

Jen is from Melbourne, Florida, but she lives in Los Angeles now. She works there and in New York and Miami. She described the latter as her “happy place” during Episode 7.

Who has Jen Terry modeled for?

Jen is signed to three agencies in three cities: Wilhemina, Natural, and Next. She has been in campaigns for GuessTecovas, and SKIMS. You can also spot her on a Spirit Halloween costume package. She’s also walked in Miami Swim Week three years in a row.

Just ahead of her villa entrance, she did an interview for Guess. Jen explained that she started modeling three years ago and signed with Guess a year later. Since then, she’s done two campaigns with the brand. “I test shot with Megan Claire when I was 16 years old, and I was told that Guess loved my images, but I was too young, and then I turned 18, and I was finally able to actually start working with you guys,” she said. “Guess was also one of the first shoots I ever did for modeling in general.”

A post shared by Jennifer Terry (@jennifertterry)

She shot photos with Bryce a couple of months before Love Island USA. Explaining how he knew Jen, Bryce said, “One of the brands I shoot for and I’m like 20 girls’ fake boyfriend for that… I’ve known her for a long time, and we’re always cool, but I wouldn’t say we have any real chemistry like that.”
