Love Island USA Season 7 Couples: Who's Still Together in 2026?

Love Island USA Season 7 ended in July 2025 with four couples in the finale and a fanbase fully convinced that at least a few of them would go the distance. One year later, not a single original couple is still together. The winners broke up in a month, the fourth-place couple imploded in a cheating scandal, and the last pair standing, Nic and Olandria, called it quits in July 2026. The one Season 7 romance still going did not even start until the cameras stopped rolling.

Here is where every major Season 7 couple stands in 2026, couple by couple, with the receipts.

Are Nic and Olandria Still Together?

Runners-up · Split July 2026

No. After a year together, Nicolandria has ended. Nic Vansteenberghe and Olandria Carthen spent the first half of Season 7 coupled up with other people while the entire internet screamed at the screen, and they finally figured it out in time to finish as runners-up. They outlasted every couple that placed around them, but in July 2026 the last original couple standing became the latest to split.

Breakup rumors had followed them through early 2026 since the two rarely appeared at events together, and both had pushed back on the speculation at the time. In July 2026 a source told People the couple had decided to part ways, explaining that the distance between them and their busy schedules made it hard to maintain the connection. Nic had been DJing around the country while Olandria built a modeling career, and the two are said to remain close friends.

Are Amaya and Bryan Still Together?

Winners · Split August 2025

No. The Season 7 winners lasted about a month. Amaya Espinal and Bryan Arenales took the crown and the prize money in July 2025, and by late August the relationship was over. It remains the fastest winner breakup in Love Island USA history.

The way it ended became its own storyline. Bryan called things off over a lengthy text message, which Amaya did not exactly take gracefully, and the fallout played out on Beyond the Villa. Amaya has since moved on with someone she knew before the show and has kept his identity private, while Bryan has stayed publicly single.

Are Iris and Pepe Still Together?

Fourth place · Split August 2025

No, and this one ended ugly. Iris Kendall and Pepe Garcia-Gonzalez finished fourth and confirmed at the reunion that they were exclusive. Weeks later a viral social media post alleged that Pepe had been with another woman, and the two broke up and unfollowed each other by the end of August 2025. Pepe has maintained on Beyond the Villa that he never cheated.

The Iris story has a much better second act, though, which brings up the couple nobody saw coming.

Are Iris and TJ Still Together?

Coupled up after the show · Official November 2025

Yes. The best Season 7 relationship technically is not a Season 7 couple. After the Pepe split, Iris reconnected with Thomas "TJ" Palma, her early villa connection who went home before the finale. She visited him in Tampa, the spark survived the reality TV detour, and TJ made it official with a sunset ask in Malibu in November 2025.

As of mid 2026 they are still together and openly working the long distance between Tampa and Los Angeles, with TJ describing constant travel and a recent trip to Italy as proof the relationship stays the priority. Screenwrecked's take is that Iris upgrading from her finale partner to her day-one connection is the most satisfying outcome of the entire season.

Are Ace and Chelley Still Together?

Fan favorites · Split December 2025

No. Ace and Chelley made it five months, which counts as a long run by this cast's standards. Ace Greene and Chelley Bissainthe never made the finale but left the villa as one of the season's most rooted-for pairs, and they kept things going through the fall. In December 2025 Chelley confirmed they had split, describing it as a mutual decision rather than a blowup.

Neither has publicly confirmed a new relationship since, although Ace has spent the summer of 2026 at the center of unconfirmed dating rumors involving another islander, so that status may not stay quiet for long.

Are Huda and Chris Still Together?

Split during the finale episode

No, and they hold the record for never even making it out of Fiji. Huda Mustafa ended things with Chris Seeley during their final date, making them the only Season 7 pairing to walk into the finale broken up. Huda later said Chris could not meet the bare minimum and that his wandering eye did the relationship in, while the distance between North Carolina and Chris's basketball career overseas removed any chance of a slow rebuild. At the reunion Chris made it clear he had no interest in staying friends, and both have stayed split since.

The Season 7 Scorecard

Out of the four finale couples, none survived. Add Ace and Chelley and the season produced six real relationships built inside the villa, and not one of them is still together today. The only Season 7 couple that lasted is Iris and TJ, a pairing that did not even come together until after the show. The pattern is hard to miss since the villa romances built on finale momentum and prize money all eventually collapsed, while the one relationship that stuck was the slow burn that started off camera.

It is worth remembering while watching Season 8 couples declare closed-off status in week three. History says the couple to bet on is not the one winning challenges, but the one that took the longest to figure itself out.
