Love Island USA Season 7 Cast: Meet the Islanders and Bombshells

Love Island USA is back for its seventh season, and the drama is already heating up. Premiering on June 3, 2025, the reality dating phenomenon returned to Peacock with a fresh batch of singles looking for love in a luxurious villa in Fiji. Hosted by Vanderpump Rules alum Ariana Madix for the second consecutive year, the show promises more romance, heartbreak, and jaw-dropping twists than ever before. Narrated by Iain Stirling, the series also features Love Island Australia host Sophie Monk as the host of the weekly aftershow, Love Island USA: Aftersun.

Season 7 follows the same format as previous seasons: a group of Islanders must couple up to survive in the villa, facing challenges, recouplings, and the constant threat of new “bombshells” entering to shake things up. Viewers can vote via the official Love Island app to influence who stays and who goes, with the winning couple taking home $100,000.
