Having “Love Island USA” withdrawal? Luckily, we haven’t seen the last of the islanders yet.
The “Love Island USA” season 7 reunion will air on Peacock on Monday, August 25
. The show’s host, Ariana Madix, will cohost with Andy Cohen. While Cohen has hosted reunions for shows including “
Vanderpump Rules
,” “The Traitors,” “Summer House, and “The Real Housewives” franchise, this will mark his first time helming a “Love Island USA” reunion.
Season 7 of “Love Island USA” came to an end on Sunday, July 13. Amaya Espinal and Bryan Arenales were crowned the winners and decided to split the $100,000 prize. Nic Vansteenberghe and Olandria Carthen came in second, followed by Huda Mustafa and Chris Seeley in third and Iris Kendall and Pepe García in fourth.
The four top couples won’t be the only ones at the reunion. Previously eliminated couples and islanders like Ace Greene and Chelley Bissanthe, Clarke Carraway and Taylor Williams,
Jeremiah Brown
, TJ Palma, and Hannah Fields will almost certainly make appearances as well.
It seems unlikely that Cierra Ortega and Yulissa Escobar will be invited back for the reunion after they were both removed from season 7 for
using racial slurs online
in the past. The show glossed over both Cierra and Yulissa’s exits, with narrator Iain Stirling simply saying that Yulissa “left the villa” and noting that
Cierra had departed for “personal reasons.”
Both Yulissa and Cierra
issued public apologies
after their removals.
Thus far, all the couples who were together at the end of season 7
seem to still be going strong
(Huda and Chris broke up during the finale). However,
TMZ
obtained footage of Iris reuniting with TJ on Monday, July 14, and giving him a big hug. Iris, who was coupled up with TJ before Pepe, was distraught when TJ was dumped from the villa.

While some fans speculated that the TMZ video means Iris and TJ could be getting back together, the duo weren’t alone during their reunion. Their fellow islander Austin Shephard was there too, and he also gave Iris a big hug.
Whether or not the season 7 islanders’ connections are built to last, one thing is for sure: there will plenty to discuss at the reunion.
