Peacock aired the “Love Island USA” Season 7 reunion at 9 p.m. ET on 25 August, bringing the full 2025 cast back together for the first time since the July finale. The special, filmed in New York on 12 August and moderated by Andy Cohen alongside series host Ariana Madix, revisited the season’s biggest controversies and provided updates on the couples who left the villa together. Winning pair Amaya Espinal and Bryan Arenales confirmed they had met each other’s families and said their long-distance relationship was intact when the programme was recorded. Bryan dismissed social-media allegations of infidelity—sparked by video of him pouring shots at a nightclub—as a paid appearance and a “lapse of judgment,” while Amaya stressed she would not stay with a partner who disrespected her. Elsewhere, Iris Kendall and Pepe Garcia-Gonzalez told the hosts they are “exclusive,” though Iris noted she still expects a formal request to be called his girlfriend. Nic Vansteenberghe and Olandria Carthen said they were taking their relationship slowly without labels, and Huda Mustafa refused to discuss her reported romance with Netflix reality star Louis Russell, citing contractual restrictions. Tension dominated much of the hour. Producers screened extended footage of the season’s Heart Rate Challenge, prompting Chelley Bissainthe to renew complaints that Huda overstepped boundaries with her partner Ace Greene. Olandria criticised Huda’s muted public response to online racism directed at Olandria and Chelley. Jeremiah Brown, meanwhile, rejected claims he ‘love-bombed’ Huda, arguing any excessive affection was unintentional. Zak Taylor appeared by video to apologise to Amaya for his conduct during the “Stand on Business” task. Notable absences included Cierra Ortega, who was dropped from the show in July after acknowledging a past racist slur. The reunion also revisited viral moments such as Taylor Williams’s “I pick Clarke” declaration and the secret-garden twist that resurrected “NicOlandria.” Producers indicated this is likely the final on-screen gathering of the Season 7 cast.
