What To Know

  • Chay Nehra joined Love Island USA Season 8 as a Casa Amor contestant.
  • He is currently exploring a connection with Kayda Bosse, potentially challenging her existing coupling with Zach Georgiou.
  • Chay is 27 years old.

Chaten “Chay” Nehra is one of a handful of mid-season additions to Love Island USA Season 8. On June 22, Chay was one of 12 new guys to enter the villa for Casa Amor, and he impressed the girls enough for them to pick him as one of the six to remain. So far, Chay has been exploring with Kayda Bosse, testing her coupling with Zach Georgiou. Only time will tell which connection wins out.

Especially while it’s still early days, you might be curious about Chay’s non-reality TV background. Unlike most of the villa residents, Chay was fairly offline before heading onto the show, which makes details about him a bit harder to come by. That’s where Swooon comes in, putting everything we could find out about Chay in one place. Keep reading for everything we know about the Casa hunk.

What is Chay’s age?

Chay is 27, putting him on the older side of the contestants. The oldest ones are 29, while the youngest is 22.

Where is Chay from?

Chay currently resides in San Diego, California, after attending San Diego State University. He was raised in Fall River, Massachusetts, according to the town’s local paper. There, he played both football and basketball in high school.

What is Chay’s job?

We’ve got another medical professional in the villa! Chay is a chiropractor, and he got a degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic. He’s following in the footsteps of his dad, who runs Fall River Disc and Spine in their hometown.

Does Chay have Instagram?

Viewers might recall the girls mentioning Chay’s lack of social media (which Kayda considered a green flag). It’s uncommon for a Love Island contestant, who usually leaves the villa with a major follower bump. Many Love Island USA contestants are discovered via Instagram, so it’s unclear how Chay ended up in front of casting producers.

There is an Instagram account under Chay’s name now, @chaynehra, which claims to be run by his friends and family. It does look like several family members follow the account, so it appears legit. We’ll have to wait and see if Chay sticks with it once he leaves the villa.
