Are winners Amaya Espinal and Bryan Arenales still going strong?
Since Amaya and Bryan were crowned the winners of "Love Island USA," there have been rumors circulating online that the two have called it quits.
However, the first Hispanic couple to win the popular dating show appeared at a Boston Red Sox game on August 4, according to The Patriot Ledger, part of the USA TODAY Network. The two threw the first pitch and shared a kiss on the field.
The Red Sox TikTok account shared a message from the couple.
Can we pull you for a chat, @Amaya🩰🍒💕🫧 & @Bryan Arenales ?? #loveisland #loveislandusa #amayapapaya #amayaandbryan #mlb #redsox
"I get to show Amaya here Fenway, the cathedral of Boston, and we're super excited to throw the first pitch," Bryan said.
Bryan, 28, of Everett, Massachusetts, and Amaya, 25, from New York City, became a couple towards the end of the season, but quickly became fan favorites.
Bryan joined as a bombshell during Casa Amor in Episode 19, and after exploring connections with other people, the pair officially became a couple during Episode 30, the Ledger reported.

I was totally ready to loathe Jennifer Lopez's new to Netflix rom-com movie, but it warmed my cynical heart
It's fair to say I typically like pretty dark movies. My current top 10 movies of 2025 ranking includes five horror movies, and 'Alien' is my favorite movie ever. I also adore thriller flicks. While I have a soft spot for indie coming-of-age comedies, I'm not typically one for romantic comedies. So back in 2022, when 'Marry Me,' a bubbly rom-com starring Jennifer Lopez and Owen Wilson, arrived in theaters (and day-and-date on Peacock), based on the vibes the trailer gave me, I was pretty confident I was going to not just mildly dislike it, but outright loathe it. As the old saying goes, 'never judge a book by its cover,' or a rom-com by its glossy marketing materials, because while 'Marry Me' is certainly not a trailblazer for the genre, it's an effective crowd-pleaser and managed to mine a lot of charm from its leads' chemistry. If this movie passed you by at release, it's just arrived on Netflix this weekend, and even if you're a cynic like me, you might be pleasantly surprised at this rom-com's heartfelt nature. Pop megastar Kat Valdez (Jennifer Lopez) is set to marry her musical collaborator Bastian (Maluma) on stage at a concert event streamed to millions around the globe. However, moments before saying 'I do' in front of a sold-out crowd, she discovers her fiancé has been having an affair with her assistant. Humiliated, and in a moment of complete madness, she decides to pluck a stranger from the crowd, a single dad named Charlie (Owen Wilson) at the concert with his young daughter, and marries him instead. With the media speculating that she only pulled the stunt out of desperation, she decides to stay married to Charlie for just a few months to save face. However, as Kat and Charlie pretend to be a loved-up couple in front of the cameras, they start to discover some common ground, and real sparks fly. But they come from completely different worlds, and their blossoming relationship is threatened by intense public interest. There really is nothing new about 'Marry Me.' Its central hook of two people pretending to be in a relationship only to slowly fall in love for real has been seen in everything from 'The Proposal' to 'What Happens in Vegas.' Even the wrinkle of a 'normal' person dating a popstar doesn't feel unique following 2023's 'The Idea of You,' though in fairness, 'Marry Me' did get there first, but I'd wager more people have seen the Anne Hathaway Prime Video original movie than have watched "Marry Me." So don't come to 'Marry Me' for bold new ideas, but what you will find is plenty of charm and delightful chemistry between its leads. Jennifer Lopez and Owen Wilson bounce off each other wonderfully. Naturally, Lopez is extremely well suited to playing a global popstar (little acting required), and Owen has been playing an affable everyman for decades. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Even when it follows a well-worn rom-com pathway, it keeps you invested because its two leads are so likable, and you'll find yourself rooting for their relationship to work out in the end. The supporting cast also includes 'Game of Thrones' alumnus John Bradley and former SNL cast member Sarah Silverman, the latter adding comedy chops to the mix. 'Marry Me's' ultimate message about embracing life and saying yes to the unexpected is, again, nothing original for the genre, but it's a well-meaning one, and just because something is a bit cliche doesn't mean it can't still resonate. And that's sort of 'Marry Me' in a nutshell, lacking fresh ideas, but packaged up in such pretty wrapping you don't mind. Critics often slaughter rom-coms, but 'Marry Me' enjoyed a respectable reception, scoring 61% on Rotten Tomatoes, which is enough for a fresh rating. Meanwhile, viewers loved this one, awarding it a 92% score on the review aggregate site. See what I mean about it being a crowd-pleaser? 'Marry Me' isn't going to challenge you, and it's certainly not going to be the most memorable movie you watch this month, but it has an easy-going attitude, a few chuckle-worthy moments and characters you will care about. When it comes to rom-coms, that's enough in my book, so apologies to 'Marry Me' for writing you off before watching. Looking for something else to watch on Netflix this week? Here's a guide to everything new added to the streaming service this month, which includes more movies and TV shows. Watch "Marry Me" on Netflix now

From 'The Pickup' to 'My Oxford Year,' 10 movies you need to stream right now
The best place to see movies with comedy legends? Your local streaming service. A couple of weeks after Adam Sandler tore up the links with his Netflix "Happy Gilmore" sequel, Eddie Murphy's latest arrives on Amazon – and teams him with another "SNL" alum, Pete Davidson – with "The Pickup." But whether you're into the funny films or scarier stuff, services like HBO Max, Peacock, Hulu and more are delivering films to your favorite devices. Check out a California retro fest with Pedro Pascal and Tom Hanks, a freaky Stephen King tale with double the Theo James, and a new take on a sci-fi classic with Ice Cube. Here are 10 new and notable movies you can stream right now: 'Borderline' In this dark comedy set in the 1990s, a pop star (Samara Weaving) has recently returned home to her mansion when an escaped mental patient (Ray Nicholson) – and superfan – invades her home, hoping to wed his beloved. Charmingly unhinged, Nicholson is likable enough to root a little for the antagonist. Where to watch: Peacock 'Clown in a Cornfield' This clever and comedic slasher reinvention centers on a teen girl (Katie Douglas) who moves to a small Missouri farm town. The place has a dark past, partly because of the local corn syrup factory burning down but also because of a violent clown named Frendo who stalks youngsters. Perfect for horror fiends who want more plot with their gore. Where to watch: Shudder 'Final Destination Bloodlines' The 2000s horror franchise is back after a long hiatus – and maybe better than ever? Kaitlyn Santa Juana plays a college student who learns that her grandmother cheated Death decades ago, and now that jerk is coming to take out her whole family via various creatively gnarly, Rube Goldberg-esque kills. Where to watch: HBO Max 'Freaky Tales' Pedro Pascal is in approximately 57 movies this year, but none are quite like this bizarrely watchable, throwback action B-movie. The "Fantastic Four" star plays an enforcer on a mission of revenge amid intertwining stories set in 1980s Oakland with Nazi-stabbing youngsters, rap battles, a ninja hoopster and a crusty Tom Hanks. Where to watch: HBO Max 'Locked' Usually, Bill Skarsgård is the guy creeping people out. (Pennywise or Nosferatu, anyone?) But he's the one on the receiving end with this thriller. Skarsgård plays a young petty thief who jacks a car. But this souped-up vehicle is actually a trap, and its enigmatic owner (Anthony Hopkins) aims to teach him a lesson. Where to watch: Hulu 'The Monkey' Based on a Stephen King short story, Osgood Perkins' gory and gloriously absurd horror comedy unleashes Theo James as estranged twins trying to rid themselves of a cursed monkey toy that's a harbinger of death. It's an extremely demented, intriguingly insightful tale with themes of mortality and buckets of blood. Where to watch: Hulu 'My Oxford Year' Anna (Sofia Carson) is a New Yorker who fulfills her life's dream of going to Oxford University to study poetry. Things get complicated in the romantic drama, based on the Julia Whelan novel, when she falls hard for her TA, Jamie (Corey Mylchreest), who blows open her world but also comes complete with his own concerns. Where to watch: Netflix 'The Pickup' The constant buddy-comedy banter between Eddie Murphy and Pete Davidson does wonders to keep this heist flick watchable. Armored truck driver Russell (Murphy) is nearing retirement and on a cash pickup job with young slacker Travis (Davidson) when the latter gets snookered by a criminal (Keke Palmer) into a high-stakes robbery situation. Where to watch: Prime Video 'War of the Worlds' Those who binge bad movies for fun, rejoice! Ice Cube plays a domestic terror analyst dealing with an alien invasion in this "screenlife" thriller – told through apps, texts, email and video chats – that remakes H.G. Wells' classic sci-fi tale. It basks in cheesy, product-placement ridiculousness, like the fate of the world hinging on an online Amazon purchase. Where to watch: Prime Video 'Wicked' If you didn't see the hit musical and "Wizard of Oz" prequel in theaters, on demand or on Peacock, maybe it's time to check it out on Amazon. Or simply to revisit the fantasy featuring Oscar nominees Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande as pals Elphaba and Glinda before the highly anticipated sequel "Wicked: For Good" arrives in November.

Larsa Pippen Tells Haters To 'Relax' After Causing Concern Over Swollen Face
"Real Housewives of Miami" star Larsa Pippen sparked a wave of online concern and criticism after her most recent appearance on "Good Night New York." Following the episode, photos of Pippen, 51, went viral online, leading many to comment on her face, which appeared puffier than normal. Days later, Larsa Pippen took to Instagram to address the chatter and assure her fans that there was nothing for them be worried about. Larsa Pippen Caused Concern After Debuting A Different Face During A Recent TV Appearance While appearing on an episode of "Good Night New York," Pippen opened up about her decision to return to "Real Housewives of Miami" when it began streaming on Peacock during the COVID-19 pandemic. The reality star, who is now divorced from NBA star Scottie Pippen, also gave watchers an update on her children, including Scottie Pippen Jr., who currently plays for the Memphis Grizzlies. However, as videos and press shots from her appearance began circulating online, her interview was quickly overshadowed by comments about her face, which many users noted appeared puffier than normal. On X, formerly known as Twitter, a user said, "I don't understand how they can look in the mirror and not see what they're doing to themselves." Another user wrote, "Wow, she has destroyed her pretty face." Larsa Pippen Has Owned Her Plastic Surgery Before When new episodes of "Real Housewives of Miami" began airing December 2021, Pippen spoke openly with her co-stars about her cosmetic surgeries. According to her, she's had work done on her nose and lips. "That's basically it," she said before adding, "I've had my [breasts] done before," per Bravo's Daily Dish. When her co-stars pressed her about the size of her glutes, Pippen denied having surgery done on them. "I literally work out seven days a week. If I show you my photos from five years ago, I was less than 100 pounds. I'm 140 pounds now, so yea, my legs look thicker than they were, my arms look thicker than [they were]. My whole body has changed ... my body's tight because I work out." Plastic Surgeon Shares What They Believe Pippen May Have Had Done During a conversation with the DailyMail, Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Kahn weighed in on the speculation, offering a professional opinion on what the Bravo veteran may have had done to her face. "It looks like she has gotten some fresh fillers for summer," they said, explaining that Pippen's lips were puffy so she "likely had plenty of filler on both the top and bottom." Dr. Kahn also theorized that the reality star may have gotten "Botox on her forehead." Larsa Pippen Claps Back At Haters Commenting About Her Looks ... Tells Them To 'Calm Down' After speculation intensified, the "House of Villains" star shared a video on her Instagram Stories to explain why her face appeared so "swollen." In the video, Pippen told her followers to "relax," explaining that she had PRP or Platelet-Rich Plasma treatment, which helps with tissue repair, so her face was "a bit swollen." "It looks like it's coming down, so you guys can just calm down," she said. Pippen shared a similar statement in the comment section of Dr. Mai Kaga's Instagram post about her appearance. "Honey, I had PRP and had an allergic reaction, so chill out," Pippen wrote. Pippen Clashes With Lisa Hochstein On Recent Season Of 'Real Housewives Of Miami' Over Ex Marcus Jordan Meanwhile, on the latest season of the "Real Housewives of Miami," Pippen has been clashing with her frenemy, Lisa Hochstein, over her allegiance to her ex-boyfriend, Marcus Jordan. During an explosive conversation in the season 7 premiere, Pippen confronted Hochstein for speaking with Jordan at an event. She also explained to Hochstein that her actions bothered her because she knew about how Jordan was allegedly displaying "toxic" behavior toward her during their relationship. "I'm in a toxic relationship, trying to remove this person from my life," Pippen said on camera. "Do you think I want you to go hang out with him, where he's literally going to send me a message telling me everything that you guys talked about, and how you said that you weren't going to tell me that you saw him?"
