Love Island USA is back, and season 7 promises more flirtation, heartbreak, and unexpected recouplings than ever before. Peacock has officially revealed the first 10 Islanders heading to the tropical villa in Fiji, and this year’s cast includes five women and five men from across the country, including one from Hawaii.
Alongside official portraits of the contestants, Peacock dropped a “Meet the Islanders” video to give fans a sneak peek at the personalities who will be stirring things up in the villa.
- First Up: Jeremiah Brown: Kicking off the introductions is Jeremiah Brown, an L.A. native who describes himself as “three-fourths a great guy, most of the time.” He’s not afraid to show emotion, admitting, “I’ve always been the emotional type, so I don’t care if I cry in front of you.”
- Chelley Bissainthe is the first female Islander to make an appearance. Hailing from Orlando, she’s proud of her Haitian roots and says she speaks “a little bit of Creole.” But beware — she’s judging fellow Islanders based on their zodiac signs.
- Next comes Yulissa Escobar from Miami, who just got out of a nine-year relationship. But she’s not letting heartbreak hold her back: “I’m glad he broke my heart, because look at me here,” she said confidently. At just 4’10”, Yulissa says, “I’m your baby. I am a baby.”
- Meet Ace Green, the next guy in line. This self-proclaimed “short king” from L.A. says he’s all about confidence — and definitely not about being the little spoon.
- Pool boy Austin Shepard from Northville, Michigan, brings the charm with his humor. “I love making people laugh,” he said. “And I look damn good while cleaning a pool.”
- Honolulu native Belle-A Walker runs on caffeine — literally. She works at her family’s coffee shop and says, “You make everybody’s day better by handing them coffee all day!”
- Taylor Williams, a self-described cowboy from Oklahoma City, believes life’s about taking risks: “If you’re not being dangerous, you’re not living.” His ideal girl? A city girl with a big personality — and a big booty.
- Olandria Carthen is a first-generation college student from Decatur, Alabama, who lives and breathes college football. Will she score big in the villa?
- Nicolas Vansteenberghe, from Jacksonville, Florida, is an adrenaline junkie with a passion for skydiving, motorcycling, and all things extreme. “I’m down for anything,” he said.
- Finally, meet Huda Mustafa from Raleigh, North Carolina. She’s over the dating scene and ready for the real thing: “I’m looking for someone who’s my lifelong partner,” she said. “Love Island, find me a man!”
Season 7 will once again be hosted by Vanderpump Rules star Ariana Madix, with fan-favorite Iain Stirling returning as narrator, also known for voicing the UK version of the show.
The new season premieres Tuesday, June 3 at 9 p.m. ET on Peacock, with new episodes streaming daily during premiere week. After that, catch new episodes on Thursdays through Tuesdays.
