Key Takeaways
- Amaya Espinal and Bryan Arenales, winners of Love Island USA season seven, have broken up.
- Both confirmed the split on Instagram, citing different life journeys and visions.
- The couple had previously faced rumors of infidelity, which they had denied.
- Other season seven couples, Iris Kendall and Pepe Garcia, are also rumored to have split.
The Official Announcement
Espinal first broke the news to her followers, affectionately known as "papayas," stating, "Bryan and I are no longer together. After leaving the villa, it became very clear that we were on two different journeys. Our visions didn’t align and relationships are suppose to be a team sport." She concluded with a poignant piece of advice: "You don’t have to drink the whole sea to know it’s salty."
Arenales echoed similar sentiments on his own Instagram Story, writing, "As many of you already know, Amaya and I have decided to go our separate ways. Unfortunately, we were not on the same page and that is okay. We have both gained clarity that we are on different paths right now. I am thankful for the time we have spent together and I wish her nothing but the best moving forward."
Signs of Trouble
Prior to the official announcements, Espinal’s social media activity hinted at relationship difficulties. She had reposted TikTok videos discussing breakups and moving on, including one about "how it feels when you know you have to leave him alone." This activity fueled speculation among fans.
Earlier in July, rumors surfaced that Arenales had been unfaithful. The couple attempted to quell these rumors with a video posted to Lana Del Rey’s "Young and Beautiful," with Arenales captioning it, "When everyone thinks you’re over, meanwhile this is us." They also addressed the alleged infidelity during the Love Island USA reunion, where Arenales admitted to a "lapse in judgment" after a video of him speaking with other women circulated online. Despite seemingly working through that issue, the ultimate cause of their breakup remains unclear.
Unfollowing and Final Appearances
Adding to the speculation, TMZ reported that the couple had unfollowed each other on Instagram just hours before the reunion episode aired. Their last public posts together were on August 14, during their appearance on "Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen."
A Troubled Season
The breakup of Amaya and Bryan is not the only relationship concern for Love Island USA season seven. Iris Kendall and Pepe Garcia are also reportedly facing a split, with reports indicating they have unfollowed each other on Instagram. Fans are hopeful that Nicolandria remains a stable couple from the season.
