'Love Island USA' Season 7 Finale Unveils Winners

"Love Island USA" Season 7 has concluded, revealing the winning couple amid online controversy.

On July 13, Amaya Espinal and Bryan Arenales were announced as the winners of "Love Island USA" 2025, sharing a $100,000 prize. Nic Vansteenberghe and Olandria Carthen were the runners-up, with Iris Kendall and Pepe Garcia-Gonzalez and Huda Mustafa and Chris Seeley also making it to the finale.

In the final regular episode before the finale, Chelley Bissainthe and Ace Greene were eliminated from the villa following a fan vote. The reunion is scheduled for Monday, Aug. 25, at 9 p.m. ET.

The season, which began on June 3, ended with Episode 36, featuring emotional and physical challenges. However, the season faced early challenges with two contestants, Yulissa Escobar and Cierra Ortega, leaving the show due to past online activity involving racial slurs.

Escobar faced backlash before the show premiered for using a racial slur, while Ortega was removed after using a racist slur against people of Asian descent. The show condemned cyberbullying, harassment, and hate in response to these incidents.

Following her exit, Ortega posted a video apologizing to the Asian community for her actions. The conclusion of Season 7 also marks the start of "Love Island: Beyond the Villa," a spinoff series featuring stars from Season 6.
