Love Island USA season 7 introduces 11 new Casa Amor bombshells
Known for stirring chaos, Casa Amor splits the original Islanders into two separate villas and introduces new contestants to test the strength of existing couples.
In a surprise twist this season, host Ariana Madix declared all Islanders officially single, forcing them to recouple with the newcomers. Every new bombshell will return to the main villa, raising the stakes.
Among the standout additions is Gracyn Blackmore, a 25-year-old Southern Belle who modeled for an energy drink company and competed in Miss Virginia USA. She coupled up with Pepe Garcia-Gonzalez. Also making waves was Chris Seeley, a 27-year-old professional basketball player who previously played for Indonesia's Rajawali Medan, and he paired with Chelley Bissainthe.
Other new contestants include Courtney 'CoCo' Watson, a 24-year-old hair and makeup artist from L.A., Clarke Carraway, a peer mentor from Charlotte, and Vanna Einerson, a 21-year-old brand ambassador from Salt Lake City.
Notable male bombshells like Elan Bibas, JD Dodard, and Zak Srakaew all made strong impressions, forming new connections that could shift the game's dynamics.
With all 11 new Islanders now in the mix, viewers can expect more drama, romance, and heartbreak as season 7 continues on Peacock.

Miguel Harichi ends friendship with Louis Russell over Love Island drama
Miguel Harichi, best known for his time on Love Island USA, has spoken publicly for the first time about his apparent fallout with fellow cast member Louis Russell, amid growing speculation involving his girlfriend, Leah Kateb. In a detailed Instagram post shared Saturday, Harichi expressed disappointment with individuals he once considered friends, criticizing them for fueling online negativity about his relationship. Without naming anyone directly, he called out those allowing social media to drag Leah's name into drama and made it clear that both he and Leah want no part in it. The speculation intensified after Leah unfollowed Louis on social media earlier this week. Many fans linked the move to Louis's rumored relationship with Huda Mustafa, who was recently spotted with him at the Weapons movie premiere. However, Harichi clarified that the unfollow had nothing to do with any alleged romance. The speculation was fueled even more after photos from the event went public, but Miguel emphasized that whatever Louis and Huda may have going on, he has no interest in being involved. 'Leave Leah out of it,' he wrote, underscoring his desire to keep their relationship separate from ongoing online narratives. Ultimately, Harichi confirmed that he is cutting ties with Louis Russell and reaffirmed his loyalty to Leah. He concluded by saying that reality TV drama like this belongs online, not in their personal lives. Harichi's statement highlights how post-show dynamics between Love Island USA cast members continue to unfold under the watchful eye of fans—and how navigating real-life relationships remains a challenge long after the cameras stop rolling.

Love Island stars JaNa and Kenny split turns ugly amid racism accusations
Love Island USA star JaNa Craig has gone public with serious accusations against ex-boyfriend Kenny Rodriguez, and now her fellow castmates Liv and Leah Kateb are backing her up with even stronger claims. Craig confirmed their breakup on July 29 via Instagram, writing, 'None of the breakup theories match up to how terrible, disgusting and disappointing it truly is.' She added that discovering the relationship was not genuine from the start had been 'truly devastating.' Rodriguez issued a more neutral response, stating the relationship 'was not something that could last long-term.' Minutes later, Craig called him a 'manipulative liar' and warned him not to 'piss [her] off.' Leah Kateb, JaNa's close friend from Season 6, reposted Craig's story and tagged Kenny, calling him 'racist, clout/money hungry, and a scammer since DAY 1!!!!' She urged him to 'tell the truth for once.' Fellow islander Liv Walker also showed support, calling Craig 'a good person' and telling Kenny, 'I hope this gives you the clout you always wanted, you f***ing loser.' Craig and Rodriguez were a fan-favorite couple during Love Island USA Season 6 and finished in third place. The couple appeared together in Love Island: Beyond the Villa, where cracks in their relationship had already begun to show, particularly around living arrangements. Most castmates, including Serena Page, Leah Kateb, and their partners, have now unfollowed Rodriguez. Peacock has not responded to the accusations. Episode 4 of Beyond the Villa, airing July 31, is expected to reflect the drama.
