Love Island USA has become a mainstay in the pop culture zeitgeist since its premiere in 2019 - and the season 7 reunion is proving to be the most explosive yet. This season, hosted by Ariana Madix, premiered in June and followed a new group of bathing-suit-clad hopefuls looking for romance. Amaya Espinal and Bryan Arenales ultimately took home the win with couples Nic Vansteenberghe and Olandria Carthen, Iris Kendall and Pepe Garcia, and Huda Mustafa and Chris Seeley - who called it quits during the finale - rounding out the top four. While more than one pairing found love inside the villa, season 7 was not without its drama. Peacock released a first look at the reunion on August 21, revealing that some of the islanders' biggest hot topics would be revisited, including an extended look at the iconic Heart Rate Challenge that caused major tension between Huda and Chelley Bissainthe. Certain couples, meanwhile, looked happier than ever in the teaser. Amaya and Bryan shared that they've met each other's families, but were also on guard when asked about the rumors he was unfaithful after being spotted in a nightclub with girls. "I had a lapse in judgement," he claimed to cohosts Madix and Andy Cohen. (The couple have since unfollowed each other on Instagram. Iris and Pepe have also unfollowed each other as of publication.)

"My mom loved Amaya," he said. "She shed a tear when she left. I was like, 'Wow.'" The pair also addressed the allegations that Bryan was unfaithful after he was photographed pouring shots into girls' mouths while out on the town one night. "They're trying to just throw any hate my way," Bryan said of internet haters. "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 in judgment, we've talked about it." When Cohen asked what the "lapse in judgement" was, Bryan replied, "Pouring shots around, giving the crowd shots and stuff like that." Amaya added, "We definitely spoke about it. I'm also not a woman who would be with someone who doesn't respect me. So if i'm still with him, it's because the relationship dynamic is healthy and great." Chris, who was at the club with Bryan on the night in question, said: "I didn't see s***." Before moving on, Amaya clarified that she and Bryan "just prioritize our relationship ... I'm very confident in our relationship and I feel like you are too." He agreed, saying, "Yeah, the comfortability is there and we're just growing."

I think there's steps." When Ariana asked if she wanted to be his girlfriend, she said, "Yeah.I think we're going in a good direction." "I think that's the whole point," Pepe added. "Date as we would have before we went on the show." Iris Talks About Meeting Up With TJ Iris addressed being spotted with her former villa beau TJ Palma in Los Angeles after the show wrapped.

TJ, who was walking back stage watching, agreed that there was "closure" for them during their talk and insisted he's "happy" for Iris and Pepe as a couple.
