Is Amaya and Bryan Still Together from Love Island USA Season 7?
No Amaya and Bryan are not together, and that hurts a little if you rooted for them during that dizzy final week on Love Island USA Season 7. Maybe you caught their Insta stories, or maybe the last time you saw their faces together was that bittersweet finale. The truth is, some couples just make sense in the villa, where life is all banter, poolside drama, and neon swimsuits.
Amaya has shared the news on her Instagram story
When the cameras stopped rolling, reality crept in. And if you’ve ever left summer camp with your heart full and pockets empty, you know the feeling—it rarely survives the drive home.
Amaya Espinal and Bryan Arenales were the couple everyone called “the unexpected slow-burn.” I remember watching that steamy third week, hoping they’d figure it out. Bryan’s jokes landed about half the time, but it’s hard not to like a guy who calls himself “America’s stepdad with abs.” Girl, same. But was that enough for the real world?
What Happened With Amaya and Bryan?
They gave it a solid shot, honestly. The final few days in the villa were pure chaos, and these two held hands through it all (even when Amaya rolled her eyes so hard at Bryan’s dad jokes, I swore they’d never come down). When they came out, fans were doing the usual “are they posting together?” sleuthing on social, and for a minute, it looked promising.
That's the post-show hype: everyone fresh-faced and hopeful, maybe even considering moving cities “for each other.” The stuff that sounds romantic until a lease renewal comes up.
A little inside scoop: Someone who danced with Bryan at an afterparty DMed me (yeah, long story), saying “he was laughing about Amaya’s tendency to force a team-building exercise at parties. Super cute. Super exhausting.” Totally checks out: she’s the type who’d organize a trust fall on a first date.
Like so many couples after reality TV, there was a burst of togetherness—shared TikToks, dinner photos in LA, the let’s-keep-trying energy.
Then, gradually, both started focusing on their own projects: Amaya leaned into her art blog, Bryan was leading workouts for a new app. The space between updates grew, and fans didn’t see them interact. That’s when rumors swelled, and—without official statements, just silence—they faded as a duo.
Why Did Amaya Espinal, Bryan Arenales Break Up?
Direct answer: Life away from cameras got complicated, and they realized they weren’t really “forever” material. Let’s break it down honestly: they were lovable, but not really a match made for Monday mornings and Costco runs.
- It wasn’t a single explosive fight or some dramatic shade thrown; more like that slow realization that you like their playlist, but would never drive across three states for their favorite concert.
Let’s run through a few of the real-world curveballs that hit:
- Location, Location…Unpacking: Amaya was firmly New York; Bryan was California sunshine, and neither wanted to do long-distance for more than a couple months. A bullet point for every bi-coastal romance.
- Job pressures: Bryan’s new fitness gig needed his full energy. Amaya was painting full-time. Their schedules became puzzle pieces from two different boxes.
- The “Post-Villa Blues”: They talked openly about struggling to adjust. The hype, the expectations—all that social media pressure can make an ordinary date night feel weirdly performative. As any reality TV couple can tell you, sometimes the love is real, but the spotlight’s too much.
- Semi-fun anecdote: One night they tried to livestream a “couple’s dinner” that ended in Bryan accidentally burning the vegan lasagna and Amaya snorting Diet Dr. Pepper. Adorable at the time, but word is, the good-natured bickering wore thin.
