Forget Amaya and Bryan, Nic and Olandria steal hearts as Love Island USA Season 7's best couple as Disneyland date goes viral

Time of India16-07-2025
Love Island USA Season 7 may have ended with Amaya Espinal and Bryan Arenales taking the win, but it's first runners-up Nic Vansteenberghe and Olandria Carthen who are capturing hearts all over again. Their connection, which grew quietly but steadily throughout the season, has become a post-show favourite, and for good reason. While their bond was questioned by many initially, their slow-burn romance slowly managed to win fans over. Now, a recent Disneyland date has only added to the excitement, and their love story is just getting started.
Are Nic and Olandria from Love Island USA Season 7 still together?
Just days after the finale aired, Nic and Olandria confirmed what fans were hoping for—they're still together and thriving. Olandria recently went live on TikTok, joined by Nic, where the two shared updates and showed just how in sync they are as they grow together outside the villa. Also spotted in the live was Huda Mustafa, which caught fans' attention since Nic had voted twice to dump her from the island, but clearly, any past tension is long gone, and their friendship has come a long way. While some reality TV couples fade once the cameras stop rolling, Nic and Olandria are doing the opposite.
Nic and Olandria's Disneyland date goes viral on social media
On Tuesday evening, Nic and Olandria were spotted at Disneyland, and social media went into full meltdown. Photos and videos of the couple strolling through the park, chatting with fans, and just having some downtime quickly took over X (formerly Twitter). What stood out most was how effortless the outing felt. Olandria kept things comfy in a grey lounge set, while Nic wore a white tank and colourful pyjama pants, clearly unfazed by their growing celebrity status. Fans praised the low-key vibe and how natural they looked together, calling them one of the most 'authentic' couples to come out of the franchise.

Olandria's 2020 Disney World tweet has fans emotional
I want to go on a baecation to Disney World lol I'm such a kid 🥺😂
As if the date itself wasn't adorable enough, fans also resurfaced an old tweet from Olandria that's now going viral. Back in 2020, she wrote, 'I want to go on a baecation to Disney World lol. I'm such a kid.' Fast-forward four years, and she's living out that exact wish with a boyfriend by her side and cameras catching every candid moment. The internet couldn't help but swoon over how things came full circle, turning a casual dream into real-life romance.
Nic and Olandria's Love Island romance
Nic and Olandria's connection in the villa unfolded naturally. What started as a solid friendship slowly grew into one of the sweetest love stories of the season. Nic was originally coupled up with Belle-A Walker, then formed a strong bond with bombshell Cierra Ortega. Meanwhile, Olandria stayed consistently coupled with Taylor from the start. But after Cierra's departure, everything shifted. During the next recoupling, Nic and Olandria gave things a real shot, and it clicked. Their bond grew through shared laughs, late-night convos, and little moments during challenges that said more than words ever could. While other couples made headlines for chaos and shake-ups, Nic and Olandria became one of the season's most beloved pairs.

15-Year-Old Builds Aircraft For Just Rs 7,000, First Flight Stuns Bihar Village

Last Updated: Social media is flooded with reactions marveling at the 15-year-old's resourcefulness, with many calling it a prime example of "jugaad" engineering at its best A teenager from Bihar has stunned thousands after building and flying a working aircraft using nothing but scrap material and sheer ingenuity. Avinesh Kumar, a resident of Muzaffarpur, pulled off the feat without access to a laboratory, formal training, or technical equipment. The most staggering part? He built the single-seater aircraft in just 7 days, spending around Rs 7,000. A video of Avinesh's homemade aircraft taking off and soaring nearly 300 feet has gone viral, drawing praise from across the country. Social media is flooded with reactions marveling at the 15-year-old's resourcefulness, with many calling it a prime example of 'jugaad" engineering at its best. The clip, shared widely online, shows Avinesh calmly seated in his makeshift cockpit, starting the engine, and lifting off the ground as bystanders cheer. After flying for a few minutes, the aircraft lands safely – no mishaps, no drama, just a teenager casually flying a machine built from junk. Speaking to local media, Avinesh said he had dreamed of making an aircraft since childhood. 'I always wanted to fly something I built myself. I just couldn't afford anything, so I started collecting scrap," he said, adding, 'It was tough, but I never thought it was impossible." This isn't the first time Muzaffarpur has seen such DIY aviation talent. Two years ago, another young man, Rikki Sharma, a BA student, made headlines after constructing a 'fighter plane" using thermocol and fish storage boxes. That too managed to reach a height of 300 feet. But unlike Rikki, Avinesh went a step further by not just building the machine, but also piloting it. With no institutional support and limited resources, Avinesh's effort is now being hailed as a symbol of untapped rural talent in the country. Many are now calling for the state and central government to recognise and support such grassroots innovation. 'Imagine what this kid could do with a little funding and mentorship," one user wrote on X (formerly Twitter). view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

How to spread faith? The Vatican is calling on ‘hot priests'

With church congregations declining and TikTok influencers holding more sway, the Vatican is looking to advance its efforts to win over young audiences. It is turning heads for help from some good-looking, social media-savvy priests to spread the church's message through social media read more In an effort to draw younger generations back to the church, more than 1,000 priests and friars are set to gather in Rome this week, including some strikingly attractive clergymen with strong social media presence. Image for representation. Reuters What if the path back to faith runs through Instagram, and a really good-looking priest? The Vatican seems to think so. At a time when church pews are thinning out and TikTok influencers hold more sway, the Catholic Church is turning to an unexpected tool to win back young hearts and minds. They are none other than social media-savvy priests with massive online followings and striking good looks. The man behind this modern campaign is none other than Pope Leo XIV himself, who, in his own way, is reinventing what it means to preach in the age of social media. Here's what we know STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Why the Vatican is banking on 'hot priests' In an effort to draw younger generations back to the church, more than 1,000 priests and friars are set to gather in Rome this week, including some strikingly attractive clergymen who've already carved out a strong presence online, according to The Telegraph. Among those attending is Father Giuseppe Fusari, a silver-haired, tattooed bodybuilder from Brescia, Italy, with more than 60,000 followers on Instagram. And his followers? They're not all just there for scripture. 'I hope it will bring people closer to the church, there is a lot of curiosity, and I am convinced that social media is one way to attract people,' Fusari told The Telegraph. The 58-year-old priest regularly shares a mix of Gospel teachings and reflections on life alongside photos showing off his toned chest and inked arms. His social media followers are usually aged between 25 and 55. Then there's Father Ambrogio Mazzai, rugged, guitar-playing, and often seen biking through scenic mountain trails. His photos and videos have earned him a loyal audience who, judging by the comments, appreciate both his sermons and his aesthetics. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'What a beautiful guy our Father is!' gushed one follower on his account. Another added, 'You are very beautiful and very elegant!' Father Mazzai posts almost daily on TikTok and Instagram, where he has a combined following of 460,000, including a fan in Italy's deputy prime minister, Matteo Salvini. Francis X. Rocca, the Vatican editor of EWTN News, believes that social media is essential to the Church's future and that the energy driving this transformation is coming from young Catholics themselves. 'It's not going to be the Vatican office of communications or some diocese that is going to generate the most innovation in this area,' Rocca said. 'But there are a lot of young people, some of whom are coming to Rome, who are experimenting, and they will be the vanguard.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Carrying Pope Francis' Insta-friendly papacy forward To spread an ancient gospel these days, you need to employ modern tools. Pope Leo XIV has understood this very well. He maintains an active presence under his official handle of @pontifex, with 14 million followers. This shift echoes the legacy of his predecessor, Pope Francis, who truly brought the Church into the social media age. Francis viewed social media not as a threat but as a vital communication tool. In 2020 alone, his content was viewed more than 27 billion times. Despite leading one of the most traditional religious institutions in the world, Pope Francis never came off as distant or unapproachable. Instead, he worked to humanise the papacy and make it relatable, often by sharing humble anecdotes from his past, like working as a nightclub bouncer or a janitor in Buenos Aires. His authenticity struck a chord. Within a year of becoming pope, he was named Time magazine's 'Person of the Year' and even appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone. He once said, 'To paint the pope as some sort of a Superman, a star, is offensive. The pope is a man who laughs, cries, sleeps calmly, and has friends as everyone else. A normal person.'
