Winning Love Island USA doesn’t always spell relationship success in the real world, and for Season 7 champions Amaya Espinal and Bryan Arenales , their fairytale romance in the villa didn’t stand the test of time. Despite coming into the Aug. 25 reunion as a united force and putting breakup rumors to rest, the duo confirmed two days later that they’ve split up.
Espinal shared the news in an Instagram story on Aug. 27, writing, “My papayas - Bryan and I are no longer together. After leaving the villa, it became very clear that we were on two different journeys. Our visions didn’t align and relationships are suppose to be a team sport [sic]. You don’t have to drink the whole sea to know it’s salty. All love here and I truly wish him the best.” She signed the note “Amaya Papaya.”
