Amaya Espinal has officially won Love Island USA Season 7, capturing viewers’ hearts alongside her partner, Bryan Arenales.
Amaya Espinal’s road to winning ‘Love Island USA’
The couple’s journey to the top wasn’t without its ups and downs, but by the time the finale aired on Sunday, 13July 2025, fans had made their choice.
The reality dating show, known for pairing up singles in a villa setting, concluded its seventh season with Amaya and Bryan walking away with not only the crown but also $100,000 (est. R1.79 million) in prize money—each getting half after choosing to split the winnings.
This decision, a signature feature of the show’s finale, is intended to test whether the winning couple values love over money.
In a move that solidified their bond for fans, Bryan and Amaya decided to share the prize evenly.
The journey through the villa
Amaya’s time in the villa was anything but straightforward. Viewers watched her form multiple connections over the weeks, including brief romances with fellow islanders Austin Shepard and Ace Greene.
However, things shifted dramatically during the show’s ‘Casa Amor’ twist, a mid-season shake-up that sends contestants to separate villas to test their loyalty with new potential partners.
It was during the return from Casa Amor that Amaya and Bryan found each other again and truly began to form a strong connection.
Though they reconnected late in the season, their chemistry was evident, and they quickly became one of the most talked-about couples in the villa.
Their popularity only grew in the final weeks. By the time the fan vote opened, their bond had made a clear impact on viewers.
Bryan’s calm, supportive nature balanced Amaya’s emotional openness, helping them stand out as a couple grounded in understanding and mutual respect.
After their win, the couple spoke about what they plan to do with their winnings.
In a post-show interview shared on Love Island’s social media, both shared meaningful uses for their prize money.
Amaya said she wants to support a community in need, while Bryan revealed his focus is on promoting mental health awareness.
This emotional maturity and shared sense of purpose helped solidify the pair as more than just another reality TV couple.
Their fans will soon get another glimpse into their journey at the Love Island USA Season 7 reunion special, which airs on Peacock on 25 August 2025, hosted by Andy Cohen and Ariana Madix.
