Love Island USA Season 7: Amaya and Bryan make history as first Latino winners; fans are divided 'Amaya deserves, Bryan got lucky'
Love Island USA just wrapped its most unpredictable season yet, and the fan-favourite couple, Amaya Espinal and Bryan Arenales, walked away with the $100,000 prize and a whole lot of love from viewers. 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. Amaya and Bryan—both latinos— being the first latino couple to win Love Island USA in the middle of trump's administration MI GENTE LATINO WE WON Fans celebrate Amaya's win but divided over Bryan While other couples wavered or fizzled, Amaya and Bryan only got stronger. Social media was flooded with support, especially during the final week when fans flooded Reddit and Twitter with reasons why they deserved to win. Some even jokingly renamed Amaya 'Papaya' and begged others to 'protect her at all costs.' Now while Amaya's win has been called deserving by many, several fans believe Bryan did not deserve to win, arguing he has not done one romantic thing for her. 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."
