‘Love Island USA’ Season 7 Couples: Who Is Still Together?
Love Island USA Season 7 couples are calling it quits left and right.
Admittedly, a good number of contestants walked away with new connections, but very few of them ended the show in exclusive relationships. In fact, only one pair of finalists, winners Amaya Espinal and Bryan Arenales, made things official before the final vote was revealed. Though they were eliminated before the finale episode, Ace Greene and Chelley Bissainthe decided to see each other exclusively off-screen, too.
However, since leaving the villa and filming the reunion episode, both of those couples (and more) have ended their relationships. Scroll for the latest relationship updates from Olandria Carthen and Nic Vansteenberghe and the rest of the Season 7 stars to find out who’s together and who isn’t. While you’re at it, let us know which split shocked you in the comments at the end of the page.

Chelley Bissainthe & Ace Greene
Status: Split
They didn’t make it to the finale, but Ace and Chelley were one of the few couples to become exclusive during the show. They left the villa together in Episode 34. In the days after, they confirmed that they’re still dating post-elimination. In late September, they shared that they were officially boyfriend and girlfriend.
However, on December 12, Chelley confirmed that they’d recently broken up.
Olandria Carthen & Nic Vansteenberghe
Status: Still Together
Nic and Olandria’s time together on Love Island USA was a roller coaster. For one, they were both on the verge of being dumped before being saved by producers in Episode 21. The only catch? They had to couple up with each other. They ended up in the friend zone, but once Nic’s former partner Cierra Ortega unexpectedly left the show, Olandria partnered up with him again in Episode 30.
The couple saw the season through to the end, landing in second place. During the finale, both Nic and Olandria spoke about seeing each other in the real world, and they’ve followed through on that in the month or so since it aired.
Nic and Olandria faced breakup rumors recently, but thanks to North West, Nic confirmed that he’s still dating Olandria.
Iris Kendall & Pepe Garcia-Gonzalez
Status: Split
Iris and Pepe were one of the newer pairings going into the finale, getting together during the last week of the season. Still, the fourth place couple decided to stay together, though they didn’t make things official. Iris and Pepe agreed to meet up once the show was over.
“I get to hang out with you now back home,” Pepe told Iris on their final date in Episode 36. “I’m glad you’re from L.A. It does make it a lot easier, I think, to just see where things go from there.”
In the reunion episode, which was filmed on August 12, Iris and Pepe confirmed that their romance was still going strong. They did mention that they were divided on if they were officially boyfriend and girlfriend. Pepe wanted to label it, but Iris thought they should date for a while before that happens.
Since the reunion was filmed, however, Iris and Pepe called it quits. They unfollowed each other on Instagram, and on August 28, they confirmed in separate statements that they were no longer together. They haven’t revealed the cause yet.
Amaya Espinal & Bryan Arenales
Status: Split
After Amaya had some trouble finding a solid connection in the villa, things started looking up when she coupled up with Bryan in Episode 30. From there, it was smooth sailing, and they went on to win the whole thing.
Not only were Amaya and Bryan still dating by the end of Season 7, but they also made their relationship exclusive in the finale. They spent the first few weeks out of the villa appearing in each other’s social media posts and making public appearances together.
At the reunion, which was filmed on August 12, Amaya assured fans that they were still in a good place. Weeks later, however, things have changed.
“Bryan and I are no longer together,” Amaya wrote on her Instagram Story on August 27. “After leaving the villa, it became very clear that we were on two different journeys. Our visions didn’t align and relationships are supposed to be a team sport. You don’t have to drink the whole sea to know it’s salty.”
Huda Mustafa & Chris Seeley
Status: Split
In a series first, one couple broke things off in the finale episode. Chris and Huda had never made their relationship official, and their Season 7 journey wasn’t exactly trouble-free. They got together immediately following the Casa Amor episodes. Shortly after, the third place couple started butting heads about PDA.
Though Chris told Huda he thought they could try things in the real world during their final date, they began to argue. Ultimately, they couldn’t reconcile their differences. Huda told her then-partner that they should just be friends.
Chris, however, revealed during the reunion that he doesn’t think friendship is in the cards after Huda spoke negatively about him in the press.
Taylor Williams & Clarke Carraway
Status: Still Together
The only other official couple to be sent packing was Taylor and Clarke. They got together in Episode 19, shortly after Clarke’s Casa Amor entrance. Taylor asked Clarke to be exclusive during Episode 32, but they were voted off the island in the same episode.
However, their relationship status still stands post-show. “We’re still the same as we were in the villa,” Taylor told Today in a July 11 interview.
As of the reunion, that still holds true. Taylor and Clarke even visited each other’s families and hometowns before they reunited with the rest of the cast!
