Season 7 Couples' Relationship Status As of when the reunion was pre-recorded on Aug. 12, some Islanders who coupled up in the villa were still going strong, while some had called it quits since leaving the villa. Winners Amaya and Bryan, runner-ups Olandria and Nic, and Iris and Pepe happily shared they're still together. While Huda and Chris split during the final episodes of Love Island USA, Chris also made it clear during the reunion that they will never be friends outside the villa. When Bryan was asked about his cheating allegations from fans, he quickly shut them down, saying, "They're trying to just throw any hate my way, and with the cheating video, the hosting I got paid to be there. I used to bartend back in the day. I had a lapse of judgment and we've [he and Amaya] talked about it." As for what his "lapse of judgment" was, he added that he was "pouring shots around, giving the crowd shots and stuff like that." Amaya said after, "We definitely spoke about it, and I'm also not a woman that would be with someone who doesn't respect me, so if I'm still with him, it's clarity because the relationship dynamic is healthy and great." As for Huda's relationship status, as she's been spotted walking red carpets with a new man, she told the co-hosts, "I can't speak about my relationships outside the villa." When Cohen questioned, "And why is that?" Huda responded, "Legal reasons, I'm not allowed to speak. It's Netflix. I'm not allowed to talk about it." Later in the reunion, Clarke and Taylor, as well as Chelley and Ace, confirmed that they're both still exclusive in their couples. Ace added that he has "something cooking up," regarding making Chelley officially his girlfriend. There was also an awkward moment between Jaden and Austin, who left the villa as a couple, as clearly they weren't on the same page in the real world. Jaden called Austin out for not respecting her post villa, saying, "I do feel like I was blind sided in a way because I did send you a message saying, 'If you were planning on dating or hooking up with other people, if you could just let me know, but I didn't care if you did.' I was like, 'You could do whatever you want, just give me the respect of letting me know that.' And then you didn't." However, Austin claimed, "Dating in the villa is dating multiple people, so like dating on the outside, I can still wanna get to know you and go on dates with someone else." He apologized to Jaden after. Unseen Footage Revealed of Boys' and Girls' Vote to Send Hannah and Jeremiah Home One of the most shocking moments from season seven was when the safe male Islanders chose to send Jeremiah packing and the female Islanders voted to send Hannah home, ending her journey with Pepe. After unseen footage of the girl's deliberations from that night was shown during the reunion, an emotional Hannah said that while it still "hurts," it feels "better to know now." "I think that's what I struggled with a lot, is I just felt like there were so many unanswered questions and I just was wondering what I did wrong or [if] there was something I could have done or said that would have changed things," Hannah added. "But I'm grateful for my experience, and I just was not going to find love in the villa and that's OK." When Madix asked if any of the women regretted sending Hannah home or if their reasoning still stands, Chelley responded, "Sending someone home is never a good feeling, and even sitting here seeing you emotional now is not a good feeling either. In that moment, I was like, maybe we could do things a little bit differently. There's other people here who haven't gotten a chance to find a connection, like a little part of it we were thinking, 'Oh my gosh, she gets to see Charlie again.'" At the end of the day, we still didn'
