PSA: Love Island has dropped a trailer ahead of the new season, and fans have one major request
Calling all Love Island fans, the season is *finally* upon us. Next month, a brand new set of singletons will make their way into the iconic villa looking for love, and we couldn't be more excited.
Earlier today, we were treated to a campy trailer courtesy of Maya Jama, which was dropped on the official LI socials. In the ad, the presenter was seen sitting at the head of a table in a neon-tinted 'Love Island HQ,' asking the production crew for ideas for the new series.
As members of the team (who were all dressed in a combination of office gear and swimwear) offered silly suggestions, from moving the show to the Isle of Wight, to turning it into a musical, Maya declared she wanted something 'bigger and bolder.'
But while the trailer was clearly promo footage - and created as a joke - it generated plenty of serious talk in the comment section from fans. Many of whom all had the same requests: one, to ditch the celeb element and cast people who have never been on TV before, and two, to bring back one particular challenge.
For context, in recent years, Love Island has drafted in reality stars and previous islanders to make up the cast. From Joey Essex, who appeared in last year's show, to alumni like Kady McDermott and Adam Collard rocking up as bombshells, viewers expressed their desire to see completely new faces.
"Less influencer types, and maybe some people actually looking for love," one person penned, while another said: "Real people looking for love not fame!"
"No more past islanders we need fresh faces, that's what makes the show exciting," a third typed, as a fourth echoed: "BRING BACK OLD LOVE ISLAND!!! that's what made people fall in love with the show in the first place, so messy and real."
Elsewhere in the comments, people were also desperate to see the return of the Twitter challenge. To unpack, this was where the Islanders would read tweets from viewers about themselves, but the names would be removed. The contestants would then have to guess which Islander the tweet was referencing.
"Challenges and games again!" one fan said, while someone else blatantly requested: "Bring back the Twitter challenge."
"BRING BACK THE TWITTER CHALLENGE!!" another screamed, adding that they wanted to show to "go back" to its roots. Further fans agreed, with one person writing: "We need Twitter challenge and more challenges in general, not just boring conversations & a truth or dare game."
Tbf, Maya did say in the trailer she wanted more drama...

Where Is 'Love Island USA' Filmed? Inside the Series' Luxurious Tropical Villas — Including What's New for Season 7
Season 7 of Love Island USA premiered on June 3 The season takes place in the same Fijian villa as season 6 did Here's where Love Island USA has filmed over the yearsOver the seven seasons of Love Island USA, contestants have been treated to a variety of accommodations, ranging from tropical villas to luxury stateside hotels. The reality dating series — an international edition of the original U.K. version — brings together a group of single contestants (Islanders) into one villa to find love. Throughout their time in the villa, the Islanders are presented with a series of tests, including new bombshell contestants, Casa Amor and more. The villas serve as a backdrop to the entire show, providing Islanders with a variety of areas to lounge and chat. Season 7 — which premiered on June 3 — takes place at the same Fijian villa that the previous season of Love Island USA was filmed in. In a May 2025 Entertainment Tonight promo, host Ariana Madix showed off the house's revamped Hideaway, plus a brand-new speakeasy and sauna. "To ensure things get extra-hot this season," she added. So, where has Love Island USA taken place over the years? Here's everything to know about where Love Island USA is filmed. Several seasons of Love Island USA have been filmed in Fiji, including seasons 1, 5, 6 and 7. Arielle Vandenberg, who hosted the show's first three seasons, gave fans a tour of the first-ever villa for the U.S. series in 2019. The house featured 3,000 locally sourced Fijian plants for the gardens, outdoor decks and custom-printed fabrics from Los Angeles, Sydney and Fiji. The Hideaway was designed by Jonathan Adler. Season 5 took place in a different house. In addition to a new "sunset nook," the house featured Love Island villa staples like a heart shower, communal bedroom, private lounge and the firepit, according to a 2023 tour. For the season 6 villa, more than 50 locals worked with the show's production designer to renovate an existing property in Fiji to transform it, per Today. The 50,000 square foot property featured two pools, an updated Hideaway, a ping pong table and more. Season 7 takes place in the same villa. In 2020, Love Island USA's season 2 was hosted stateside due to the pandemic. This time, the Islanders were sequestered in Las Vegas on The Cromwell's rooftop. The show's production designer transformed the hotel into a typical villa, including a fire pit, outdoor gym, pool and sundeck, per CBS News. Season 3 of Love Island USA was still hosted in the United States in 2021, but this time, Islanders were taken to a villa in Hawaii. The season was filmed at Water Falling Estate in Nīnole, Hawaii, per Forbes. The property included two waterfalls and a waterslide, according to Entertainment Tonight. 'It was a wild ride to see the creatives at CBS/Love Island USA turn our typically zen Big Island oasis to a candyland of color, lights, patterns and party energy!' the property's Instagram account posted after the season wrapped up in September 2021. 'I wish we could have kept the fire pit, all of the cool decks & thousands of twinkle lights - but was fun to see what big vision & imagination can create!' Love Island USA season 4 was brought back to the mainland in 2022 for the show's first season on Peacock after moving over from CBS. In July 2022, the Santa Barbara Independent confirmed that the season was filmed at Dos Pueblos Ranch in Santa Barbara, Calif. In a 2022 villa tour, new host Sarah Hyland showed off a workout area, brand-new treehouse, hidden seating areas and more. Read the original article on People

Nicola and Brooklyn Peltz Beckham Reveal Truth About What Their Life at Home Is Really Like
Nicola and Brooklyn Peltz have opened up about their life at home in Los Angeles as husband and wife—insisting that they are at their happiest when they are cuddled up on the couch 'in sweats,' despite what their glamorous social media posts might lead their fans to believe. Nicola, 30, and Brooklyn, 26, who tied the knot in 2022 after three years of dating, laid bare what their lives are really like when they're not attending all manner of star-studded events, while speaking out about their marriage in a candid interview with Glamour. Nicola—who is the daughter of hedge fund billionaire Nelson Peltz—told the publication that, while their Instagram accounts might depict a lavish life filled with parties and trips to Coachella, behind the scenes, the couple prefer nothing more than a quiet night in. 'The simple stuff makes us the happiest,' she shared. 'Instagram sees the parties and events, the Coachella moments. But the truth is, we're at our best when we're curled up on the couch with our dogs, watching a movie or eating dinner in sweats.' They are 'happiest just hanging out with our dogs at home,' added Brooklyn. Their perfect night involves 'no cameras' and their watching the hit reality series 'Love Island.' However, things at home aren't all hunky dory, with the duo confessing that they do get into some arguments about each other's quirks. How about the 'low-stakes things' that they 'disagree' on? 'The temperature in our bedroom,' Brooklyn offered. 'I like it freezing; Nicola likes it warm.' 'Same with lighting! I love it soft and cozy,' Nicola added. 'Brooklyn turns on every light. But marriage is about compromise. He cranks the AC, I layer up under blankets.' Although the couple shared limited details about their dwelling, they are understood to be residing in a luxury condo unit just a short distance from Beverly Hills, which Nicola's mother, Claudia Heffner Peltz, purchased for $3.8 million in 2012. The 11th-floor unit in a high-rise building boasts three bedrooms, five bathrooms, and 3,520 square feet of living space—a far cry from the megamansion the couple purchased together as their first marital home. Nicola and Brooklyn snapped up that Beverly Hills property in 2021 for a hefty $10.5 million—but put it back on the market just eight months later, for an asking price of $12 million. They eventually sold it in August 2022 for just $9.25 million, taking a $1.25 million loss on the sale. Nicola later admitted to Cosmopolitan that the investment had been a 'silly' mistake. She explained that the couple had initially decided to sell the home because they would likely be spending more time in Florida—where her father is based and where Brooklyn's dad, soccer legend David Beckham, is co-owner of the local team, Inter Miami CF. 'We sold it because we were like, 'Oh, we're going to go to Florida for a while.' And then we're like, 'No, just kidding, we have to be in L.A. for work,'' she explained. 'It was so silly of us. And now we're saving up money to get our dream house.' David and his wife, Victoria Beckham, reportedly put down some pricey roots in Miami Beach. The Real Deal reported in October 2024 that the couple were in the process of buying a nine-bedroom, 9.5-bathroom mansion in the city. The property, which was listed for $80 million, was sold that same month for $72.25 million, suggesting that the Beckhams scored quite a deal. Meanwhile, Nicola's family is based just a short distance from that dwelling—in a Palm Beach estate that measures 26,861 square feet. It comes with six bedrooms and 19 bathrooms. The property is located directly on the beach and offers beautiful views of the water. However, if Brooklyn and Nicola ever fancy a change of scenery, they need only hop across the pond to the Beckhams' primary residence in London's Holland Park, which they purchased for a staggering $37.9 million in 2013—before pouring a reported $10 million into renovations. Interestingly, Brooklyn and Nicola made no mention in their Glamour interview about ongoing rumors that they are embroiled in a 'feud' with the Beckham family. Multiple reports suggested that a rift began when the happy couple tied the knot and has raged on ever since. The couple did, however, open up about the origins of their relationship, revealing that their first proper meeting took place at a 2019 Halloween party thrown by none other than Leonardo DiCaprio. Following their passionate embrace, they were inseparable, and Brooklyn proposed just six months after dating. However, their wedding was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 'We were engaged for a long time because of COVID. We wanted a big wedding, but we also wanted to protect our grandparents. 'There were moments when we thought, 'Should we just elope in Vegas?' But people talked us out of it. When you've lived together for a while, marriage doesn't change everything except that it feels really special to say 'my husband' or 'my wife,'' Nicola explained.
