The Love Island USA Season 7 villa drama isn’t over just yet—because the islanders are back together for a reunion that promises more sparks, shade, and shocking revelations.
On Tuesday, the cast gathered in New York City to film the highly anticipated special, hosted by none other than Andy Cohen, who’s already warned fans that he won’t be holding back when it comes to digging for the tea.
First Sightings: Couples Still Going Strong
Outside the Manhattan studio, Pepe Garcia-Gonzalez and Iris Kendall turned heads as they arrived hand in hand, looking every bit the smitten couple they were in the villa. Their playful smiles made it clear—this love story is still very much alive.
Also radiating post-villa bliss, Chelley and Ace were spotted strolling side by side, grinning from ear to ear. Their chemistry hasn’t faded a bit since the cameras stopped rolling.
Signs of Trouble?
Not all the arrivals screamed happily ever after. Clarke was seen walking in solo, without his partner Taylor. The separate entrances have already sparked speculation among fans about whether their romance fizzled after leaving the island.
Ariana Madix: Reality Royalty Joins the Fun
Reality TV icon Ariana Madix also made her way into the building, dressed down in slacks and a sweatshirt—proof she was still in the middle of her glam prep. Even in casual mode, Ariana’s excitement for filming was hard to miss.
Notable No-Shows
While many fan favorites showed up, a few key faces were missing from the reunion arrivals. Huda Mustafa, Chris Seeley, and Belle-a Walker were nowhere to be seen on filming day.
Still, there were plenty of familiar faces making solo entrances, including Nicolas Vansteenberghe, Olandria Carthen, and Season 7 winners Bryan Arenales and Amaya Espinal.
Confirmed Absences
One islander has already confirmed they won’t be back for the reunion. Cierra Ortega, who left the villa just a week before the finale due to backlash over past social media posts, told fans she won’t be participating in the special.
The Drama They Can’t Avoid
If you think the reunion will skip over the season’s most controversial moments, think again. Remember, Yulissa Escobar was removed from the show in Episode 2 after resurfaced clips revealed her using racial slurs—a scandal that shook the villa early on.
And Cierra’s abrupt departure mid-season left the cast and fans reeling. With Andy Cohen steering the conversation, it’s safe to say these topics—and more—are bound to resurface.
When to Watch
The Love Island USA Season 7 reunion premieres Monday, August 25 at 6 PM PT on Peacock. With unresolved feuds, possible breakups, and plenty of lingering questions, fans should expect a night full of jaw-dropping moments.
TPR will have the biggest bombshells, the shadiest exchanges, and the sweetest reconciliations from the reunion—so keep your notifications on.
