'Pucker up, boys': This Arizonan is 1st bombshell of 'Love Island USA' 2025
A hot new bombshell just entered the "Love Island USA" 2025 villa and she's already making waves.
Cierra Ortega is a 25-year-old marketing professional and Phoenix native.
She made her entrance in Season 7 along with bombshell Charlie, a 27-year-old U.K. man, during a blindfolded kissing challenge where the Islanders didn't know who was giving them a smooch. Cierra and Charlie arrived during the first episode of "Love Island USA," which aired on Tuesday, June 3.
"I'm the full package: brains, beauty and boobs," Cierra said. "I don't care whose toes I have to step on. If I can take your man, he was never your man in the first place. Pucker up boys, I'm coming through."
Get to know the newest "Love Island USA" bombshell, Cierra Ortega.
Cierra lives in Los Angeles and has almost 37,000 followers on her Instagram @cierra.ortega.
She left no stone unturned during her grand entrance as a "Love Island USA" bombshell as she proceeded to kiss every male Islander. And things got steamy.
"She s a 10 out of 10 kisser," Nic said. "I have no idea who it is and this is like one of the greatest nights of my life."
It seems that Cierra also has the support of previous Islanders as Scottsdale resident Carmen Kocourek from Season 5, Kassy Castillo from Seasons 5 and 6 and Phoenix resident Johnnie Garcia from Season 5 all shared social media stories with Ortega, hyping her up.
In the First Look for the Wednesday, June 4 episode, host Ariana Madix asks the main Islanders if they would like to get to know the two new bombshells and said "they'll be in touch."
They will also have to choose who they want to couple up with.

Kevin Hart Jokes About Diddy Without Even Saying His Name
Kevin Hart didn't hold back any punches after delivering a joke about Diddy while hosting the 2025 BET Awards. During his opening monologue at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Monday evening, the comedian slid in a joke about the disgraced rapper, who is currently in custody while embroiled in a federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial. 'I'm shutting down the idea of after parties. No after parties tonight. None. Take your asses home after this,' Hart joked. He then teased that he decided to host the ceremony on a Monday because 'people have to go to work tomorrow.' 'No after parties. That's where shit gets slippery at those goddamn after parties,' he continued. 'We're learning a lot about people, ain't we?' Diddy, whose real name is Sean Combs, had become known for throwing lavish white parties in the '90s and 2000s. More recently, he has become known for alleged 'freak-off' sex parties involving his romantic partners and multiple sex workers. Casandra 'Cassie' Ventura, Combs' ex-girlfriend, testified that Combs demanded many bottles of baby oil at the encounters. While Hart's joke garnered chuckles from the crowd, social media users on X, formerly Twitter, were left divided over the quip. Ewwww I'm sorry NOT Hart is not funny why would they let him open with a Diddy reference. This finna be a long night with him hosting 😭😭💀 # — Celestial Sp00ky C00chie 🕷️🪄✨ (@TrulyJones21) June 10, 2025 'No after parties. That's when shit get slippery!' — Kevin Hart # — MONIE.🌹 (@chillwithmonie) June 10, 2025 I don't care what y'all say.. Kevin Hart's opening was hilarious. A true comedian. No gimmicks. Just jokes. # — raveen marie 🫶🏾 (@theraveenreport) June 10, 2025 Kevin Hart making a joke about Diddy's parties and the whole crowd is just laughing… this is why victims don't tell their stories. — ۟ (@headnavy) June 10, 2025 Kevin Hart is so unfunny and funny at the same time! # — EB (@ebscookout) June 10, 2025 The Bad Boy Records founder was initially charged with one count of racketeering conspiracy; one count of sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion; and one count of transportation to engage in prostitution following his arrest in September. Combs has pleaded not guilty to all charges. The record producer could face up to life in prison if convicted.

Love Island's first couples revealed after twist
Love Island has started with a twist, with the first couples decided in a dating app game and one contestant losing her partner after just a few hours. The ITV show has returned for its summer series, with 12 new singles moving into the villa as they try and find love. It got under way on Monday, 9 June and included the first coupling, but instead of the girls or boys picking based on appearances, host Maya Jama told the girls they would have to choose their first partners based on their dating profiles. 'This year things are slightly different," she said. "You've told me what your type on paper is, but does that match your ideal man in reality?' As the girls lined up by the pool, Jama explained: 'In front of you there are six love hearts and each boy has given me their dating profile which is written on each of these hearts - shall we have a look at what these boys have to offer?' The girls then had to decide who they wanted to couple up based on brief details like each man's name, age and a job, plus a little snippet such as: 'I like to play hard and work harder! I love to play so I work very hard." After reading them all, Jama told them to race to whichever heart they liked the look of, before the men were revealed. So who picked who? Meg and Dejon Meg has been single for over four years, sharing: "I don't date, I don't even know when my last kiss was." However, she didn't seem to be too sure when she first met Dejon, a personal trainer from London. Meg picked Dejon's heart but when she first saw him she admitted she was only "50/50" on whether he was her type. She later explained it was because Dejon had said he liked to party and she thought that sounded as if he wasn't looking to settle down. Dejon, who described himself as "definitely competitive", said that after they cleared that up he was feeling "positive" and was "excited" about what was to come. By night time, they were saying they were "up to 100". Helena and Conor Helena and Conor got off to a rocky start, after she said one thing that gave her the "ick" was rugby and he turned out to be a pro rugby player. The Islander had previously said she been single all her life and that her type was "somebody that can make me laugh", but that she didn't want a rugby player. But when she was beaten to the other hearts she ended up with Conor, who described himself as being a "bit arrogant, bit cocky". However, they later went off for a chat and Conor surprised Helena, who decided he was more fun to talk to than she'd thought he'd be. Sophie and Harry Commodities trader and semi pro footballer Harry said he was "delighted" when he saw Sophie, an author and motivational speaker, and loved that she was wearing red. Sophie - who made it clear she was "looking for a husband" - revealed she liked the look of Harry on paper and the pair got straight into a serious chat, with Sophie opening up about having once been injured in a fire and how she wanted a serious romance. Harry also hinted that he was looking for a real relationship, saying he was a "hopeless romantic". Read more: Love Island Who is Love Island host Maya Jama?

He also explained that he didn't like dating apps and preferred to do things face to face. "I like to go up to girls in person in the gym and say, 'How are you doing?'" he said. Megan and Tommy Megan said she was looking to find "the guy of my dreams", saying he had to be in the villa "because he's nowhere else apparently". And she got off to a good start when she picked landscape gardener Tommy, with the pair bonding over their Sicilian heritage. Tommy shared that he got plenty of attention from women in his normal life and completely backed himself when it came to the opposite sex - although any girlfriend might need the seal of approval from his mum. If she didn't approve, it could be "a dealbreaker", he said. Energy broker Megan made it clear she was up for a challenge, saying she was "so competitive". She was also looking forward to dating in person as she was "sick" of apps. Alima and Blu Alima and Blu suggested they weren't each other's types but agreed to stay open as they got to know each other. Born in London but raised in Spain, Blu said in his video interview: "Out of 10 I'd give myself a 9.5. For it to give a 10 I'd have to have my trousers off." But Alima didn't seem too impressed and complained that he'd been rude when he commented on how beautiful all the girls were when it was her who had chosen him. Shakira and Ben Shakira said she was on Love Island to find her Prince Charming, but made it clear that looks weren't everything and that he had 'got to have the chat'. When it was time to run for the hearts the children's entertainer made a beeline for the one saying Ben, who was a taxi driver with the slogan: 'No I'm not a catfish.' He told how he was always coming across 'fit' girls but that he hadn't been that lucky when it came to love himself. 'My love life is a shambles, social media has ruined everything,' he confessed. Bombshell twist There was a huge shock in store for Shakira and Ben when Jama appeared at the end of the episode and brought with her a bombshell. Toni had travelled from the US, admitting she was "tired of American boys", and Jama told her she could pick any one of the boys to couple up with. She chose Ben, leaving Shakira single and in danger of being dumped from the island. But Jama threw her a lifeline, telling her she now has 24 hours to make a connection with one of the boys. If she fails, she faces being sent packing. Love Island continues on ITV2 at 9pm on Tuesday, 10 June.
