• On September 21, Love Island USA alum Huda Mustafa confirmed her relationship with Louis Russell on Instagram.
  • The Too Hot to Handle and Perfect Match shared his own IG confirming the ’ship as well.
  • Though Huda was reluctant to discuss her new relationship during the Love Island USA season 7 reunion, it seems she’s now ready to share with fans.

It’s (Instagram) official: Huda Mustafa and Louis Russell are an item. On September 21, the Love Island USA alum took to IG to share a carousel of photos, which included some cute mirror shots of herself kissing Louis and a room filled with flowers and balloons reading “Be Mine.”

Her caption: “off the market.” It doesn’t get more official than that!!

And of course, Louis dropped his own photo dump confirming their ’ship, which he captioned, “Batman Found His Kitty.”

If you’re just getting caught up to speed here: Huda first shocked fans back in August when she hit the Weapons red carpet with the Too Hot to Handle alum...who, at the time, was starring on season 3 of Perfect Match. (Spoiler alert: He did not, in fact, find his perfect match on the show.)

From there, the two then continued to tease their maybe-relationship in their Instagram Stories (despite protests from Louis’s Perfect Match costars...), but when asked directly about her relationship at the Love Island USA season 7 reunion, Huda declined to answer.

At the time, Huda told host Andy Cohen that she couldn’t “speak about [her] relationships outside the Villa” because of “legal reasons,” but she later revealed that the real reason for her silence was a desire to keep her budding relationship private...at least, for the moment.

As she explained in her TikTok Stories, “I prefer to share details about my relationships on my own terms, not for a TV show it has nothing to do with. Repeated pressure to open up, especially when it’s excessive, makes me uncomfortable. I’d appreciate if that could be respected.”

Now it seems Huda is ready to ready to flaunt her new relationship loud and proud, and I kind of love this for her?
