[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for Love Island USA Season 7.]

We’re officially on Love Island USA time! After a shocking 40-plus minute delay, the Season 7 premiere dropped on June 3 and introduced the first set of Islanders who’ve come to Fiji looking for love.

Right off the bat, Love Island USA Season 7 turned up the heat. In a steamy twist, the women were able to kiss two men before deciding who they wanted to couple up with. However, their picks weren’t set in stone. The men could be stolen at any time, and that’s exactly what happened with Yulissa Escobar, Ace Green, and Chelley Bissainthe.

The first five couples of the season emerged early on, and the pairs spent the rest of the premiere settling into the villa and getting to know each other. Even though it was only the first night, a few moments hinted that there’s going to be trouble in paradise for a few of these couples. Plus, two new Bombshells entered the villa to stir up the drama.

So, who got together during the Love Island USA Season 7? Will they still be together by the end of the season? We’ve got six weeks left, so anything can happen. Scroll down for the latest on the Love Island USA couples.

Yulissa & Ace

Status: Still Together

Yulissa’s choice was the season’s first taste of the inevitable drama to come. When it was Yulissa’s turn, Ace had already been chosen by Chelley, and it was clear they were vibing. (They had met prior to the show.) However, Yulissa swiped Ace from Chelley, leaving the latter without a match for a moment.

Huda & Jeremiah

Status: Still Together

Huda had her eyes on Jeremiah from the jump. They coupled up right away, but there could be trouble ahead. Huda hasn’t told Jeremiah that she has a young daughter yet. Could that be a dealbreaker for him?

Chelley & Austin

Status: Still Together

Chelley had to make another pick after Yulissa stole Ace from her. She coupled up with Austin because she had to. This new couple seems headed for breakup territory. Cutting off Chelley and Ace wasn’t a good idea. Will being (mis)matched with other people make their hearts grow fonder for each other?

Belle-A & Nic

Status: Still Together

Unlike the rest of the Season 7 girls, Belle-A wanted to take things slow in the villa. She didn’t want to kiss any of the guys, save for a kiss on the cheek. She coupled with Nic, and they discussed her non-kissing approach. Belle-A told Nic she wanted a “solid connection” with someone before getting physical. They did end up holding hands, though!
