The two not only took home the win but also made show history as the first Latino couple ever to win the U.S. version of the series. Amaya and Bryan are Love Island USA Season 7 winners Amaya and Bryan's win didn't come easily, as they were up against strong competition in the Love Island USA Season 7 finale, including Nic and Olandria, who finished as close runners-up. The vote was tight, with both couples having built solid connections and loyal fanbases. Taylor and Clarke secured third place, while Huda and Chris rounded out the top four. Congratulations to Amaya and Bryan for winning love island usa season 7🥹💃💃💃🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣#LoveIslandUSA Love Island USA Season 7: An incredible journey for Amaya and Bryan Amaya didn't enter the villa from day one—she came in as a bombshell during Episode 4, but it didn't take long for her to make an impact. A 25-year-old cardiac nurse from NYC with Dominican roots, she brought a mix of quick wit, emotional honesty, and zero tolerance for games. She was initially paired with Ace, who made it clear he wasn't fully open to the connection and eventually chose Chelley instead. But rather than letting that shake her, Amaya held her ground with grace and honesty—quickly becoming a fan favorite for her straightforwardness and emotional maturity. Bryan, 27, came in during Casa Amor, but his impact was instant. A proud Puerto Rican-Guatemalan from Boston, he formed a connection with Amaya after Zak Srakew left, and it felt different from the rest—genuine, grounded, and refreshingly low-drama.

Some even jokingly renamed Amaya 'Papaya' and begged others to 'protect her at all costs.'

One user wrote, "I have one more thing to say … Bryan has not done one romantic thing for Amaya but give her some kisses... I guess 😂 but that's who y'all wanted to win." i have one more thing to say … Bryan has not done one romantic thing for Amaya but give her some kisses .. i guess 😂 but that's who yall wanted to win 😩 Another fan added, "Amaya And Bryan Only Won Because People Liked Amaya More Than Bryan."
