Every Winning ‘Love Island USA’ Couple, Ranked
We’ve got a text, and it’s every Love Island USA couple who won, ranked by success.
We’re back in the sun, watching Islanders take on ridiculous challenges involving pies, three-way kisses, and enough drama to keep us fully invested. We’re desperate for a Hideaway escape, a bombshell entrance, and our nightly dose of villa chaos. That’s right: It’s Love Island USA season, aka the best time of the year.
We’ve already ranked every season of Love Island, broken down all the villa vocabulary you need to know, and even celebrated the best bombshells to ever strut into the villa. But today, we’re focusing on something a little more romantic: the couples who won.
Now, this is an extremely scientific process for our fellow women in SPAM [Social Media, PR, Advertising, and Marketing]. There are a few important factors we have to consider when ranking every Love Island USA winning couple. Obviously, how long they lasted after leaving the villa matters. But we’re also looking at their journey during the show, the challenges they faced, their chemistry, and how successful they’ve been since their Love Island USA win.
Disagree with our ranking? Let us know in the comments!
Love Island USA, Season 8, Every Night Except Wednesdays, 9/8c, Peacock
7. Olivia Kaiser & Korey Gandy (Season 3)
Olivia and Korey were both Day 1 contestants, but they definitely weren’t a classic Love Island couple from the start. In fact, they didn’t even get together within the first few weeks of the villa. Nope, this pairing only officially happened on Day 32. That’s a full month of Love Island drama before their romance supposedly began.
And honestly? That doesn’t exactly work in their favor for our ranking of winning couples. On one hand, maybe they had more time to get to know each other away from the pressure of the early villa days. On the other hand, they weren’t really tested as a couple for long, and it did feel a little like a last-minute alliance to make it to the end.
That suspicion was only heightened by how quickly things ended after the show. In November 2021, just a few months after their win, Korey announced their breakup on Instagram. He wrote: “In the real world, we’re faced with real-world challenges. Some that we couldn’t overcome. You have to realise that you aren’t always the problem. People change; we’re all human, and we’re all still growing, and that’s perfectly ok.”
Not exactly the most romantic breakup statement, and fans were left wanting a little more accountability. The classic “you aren’t always the problem” line definitely raised some eyebrows. Oof.
Since leaving the villa, both have continued building their own careers. Korey has found success on OnlyFans, while Olivia has launched her own beauty and skincare line and appeared on Season 38 of The Challenge.
6. Amaya Espinal & Bryan Arenales (Season 7)
Amaya Papaya was the fan favorite of Season 7 and our resident Too Much girlie. She wore her heart on her sleeve from the day she entered the villa, and when the other men criticized her for being so open and emotional, Bryan was the one who defended her. So when the two eventually paired up, fans were thrilled — and their win felt like a true victory.
Unfortunately, their reign as a winning couple may have been one of the shortest in Love Island USA history. Just two days after the Season 7 reunion aired, on August 27, 2025, Amaya announced on her Instagram Stories that she and Bryan had split. She explained that their visions for the future no longer aligned.
Bryan confirmed the breakup the following day, writing: “Unfortunately, we were not on the same page, and that is okay. We have both gained clarity that we are on different paths right now.”
The couple’s messy fallout was featured on Peacock’s Love Island: Beyond the Villa. Amaya revealed that Bryan had broken up with her via text message, while Bryan explained that they had been going through a series of intense arguments. Yikes.
While fans were sad to see their love story end, both seemed to move forward with their own journeys. In February 2026, Amaya went public with a new relationship, sharing a photo with her new partner.
5. Elizabeth Weber & Zac Mirabelli (Season 1)
Our first-ever Love Island USA winners! After finally crossing the pond, we got to experience the flirting, challenges, heartbreak, and chaos of a Love Island summer, the USA way.
From the start, we were fully invested in Elizabeth and Zac. The pair had been coupled up from Day 1 and seemed completely locked in, barely looking elsewhere as they built their connection in the villa.
However, it turned out that life outside the villa was a little more complicated. In 2019, Zac announced their breakup on his Instagram Stories, sharing: “The breakup was mutual, and we have left on amicable terms. We simply wanted different things.”
Honestly? Short, sweet, but way too vague. At least they kept the breakup classy.
On July 15, 2024, Elizabeth revealed that she had found love again outside the villa, sharing the news in an Instagram post. She later got engaged to Gianni Settino on December 22, 2024.
4. Justine Ndiba & Caleb Corprew (Season 2)
Now, Justine and Caleb are especially important because they made Love Island USA history as the show’s first Black couple to win. And yes, we know it was only Season 2 — but we mean the entire Love Island franchise. At this point, Love Island UK was already in Season 6 and had never crowned a Black winning couple.
Justine was part of the original cast, while Caleb entered the villa on Day 5. The two quickly formed a connection, coupled up, and managed to make it all the way to the finale, becoming the first Black couple to take home the win.
Unfortunately, their love story outside the villa didn’t last forever. The couple dated for around six months before Justine announced their breakup in a now-deleted Instagram post in January 2021. The following day, Caleb confirmed the split on his own Instagram.
Since then, the two have gone in very different directions. Justine has continued building her career as a TV personality and content creator, while Caleb went into the tech world, helping co-found TXI Ai, an artificial intelligence company focused on SEM ad copy optimization and automation.
A villa romance turned into two very different post-Love Island journeys.
3. Zeta Morrison & Timmy Pandolfi (Season 4)
Now, this was a fan-favorite Love Island USA winning couple. Zeta and Timmy — affectionately known as Zimmy by fans — had viewers invested from the start. They coupled up early in the season and managed to stay strong despite all the challenges, temptations, and classic villa drama thrown their way.
Unfortunately, things weren’t quite as smooth once they returned to the real world. Timmy opened up about their breakup with TMZ, explaining that their relationship struggled after leaving the villa and that they found themselves becoming more combative and constantly butting heads. Meanwhile, Zeta said a lack of communication was the main reason things fell apart. The pair is reportedly not even on speaking terms now.
Since Love Island, both have continued to find success on screen. Timmy has appeared in projects including A Christmas Prayer and The Stairwell, while Zeta has built a career as a fashion model and actress, with roles in Dutch, Crime and Justice, Breaking News, and We Follow You.
In fact, many fans consider Zeta to be one of the most successful Love Island USA contestants yet, cementing her (and Timmy’s) spot on this list.
2. Kordell Beckham & Serena Page (Season 6)
Now this is a fun Love Island USA winning couple. Serena and Kordell were coupled up from Day 1, although there was a tiny blip when Serena friend-zoned Kordell between Days 5 and 6. We’re sure they laugh about that now!
The pair faced their biggest test during Casa Amor, when Kordell returned to the villa with another girl. However, he quickly realized he’d made a mistake. After some emotional conversations, plenty of apologies, and a little bit of drama, the two found their way back to each other stronger than ever.
Serena and Kordell went on to win Season 6 of Love Island USA, but their relationship timeline outside the villa was still keeping fans entertained. A month after their victory, Kordell officially asked Serena to be his girlfriend — proving that even winning a reality show together doesn’t automatically define the relationship.
He shared the news on his Instagram Stories, saying: “I just asked her out, y’all. She said yes.”
Since leaving the villa, the couple has continued dominating pop culture. Their relationship was also featured in Love Island: Beyond the Villa, giving fans even more insight into their life after the show.
1. Hannah Wright & Marco Donatelli (Season 5)
Now for our favorite Love Island USA winners!
The duo coupled up early in the villa after Hannah entered as a bombshell on Day 2, and they remained one of the most consistent pairs throughout the entire competition. They quickly became the obvious choice for viewers, but their instant chemistry also led some Islanders to question whether they were genuinely falling for each other or simply “game playing.” Who’s laughing now?
Their biggest test came when Marco’s ex-girlfriend, Hannah Ortega, entered the villa. Despite the unexpected drama, the couple managed to navigate the challenge and came out stronger on the other side.
Not only are Hannah and Marco still together, but they’ve also taken the next big step. The pair got engaged in May 2025 during a trip to the Dominican Republic — yes, we’re getting another Love Island wedding! They’re the first Love Island USA winning couple to get engaged (although we’ve seen several couples from the UK series make it down the aisle).
Their wedding is planned for December 12, 2026, in Los Angeles.
One of the things we love most about Hannah and Marco is how grounded their relationship feels. In a heartfelt post, Marco shared that both he and Hannah had experienced the loss of a parent, but that their shared grief helped bring them closer together. He even said he believes his mom sent him Hannah and that her dad is watching over them.
Honestly? We’re sobbing. They get the crown of crowns, no hesitation.
