Love Island USA season 7 cast verdict: Confirmed line-up ranked and who should couple up
The singles include a TikTok influencer, lots of models, and a few questionable tattoos.
The days are getting longer and the temperatures hotter, which means it’s time for Love Island USA to take another trip to Fiji. The American take on the UK’s beloved dating show is returning for a new season this summer, and we finally have our first look at the season 7 cast!
Love Island USA announced the season 7 cast of singles with a new promo on Thursday, 29th May. In the short clip, the singles are shown wearing their beachy best and declaring themselves ready for love - or at least, for hookups. (It’s too early to predict who could be this season’s Kordell and Serena, but I have a few early guesses.)
According to an official Peacock press release, the season will feature new couples challenges, a lot of twists, and a few surprise guests. As always, viewers in the USA will vote to keep their favorite couples in Fiji and eventually crown a winner.
Now, let’s meet the Love Island USA season 7 contestants, shall we?

Ace Greene
- Hometown: Los Angeles, California
- Instagram: @realacegreene
- Fun fact: He’s a content creator with 1 million followers on TikTok. And his official website describes him as a “DJ, comedian, model, choreographer, YouTuber, and professional party host.”
As a content creator with 1 million followers, Ace isn't shy about being in front of the cameras. Last year, he was interviewed on the Jennifer Hudson Show, so he's a pretty big deal. One to watch, we think!
Austin Shepard
- Hometown: Northville, Michigan
- Instagram: @2fastnfurious
- Fun fact: He recently moved to Florida.
One look at Austin's gram, and we can see why Love Island USA picked him to go on the show. The other guys might need to keep an eye on him around their girls.
Belle-A Walker
- Hometown: Honolulu, Hawai’i
- Instagram: @perksofisabelle
- Fun fact: She works at her parents’ coffee shop when she’s not busy modeling.
Model Belle is absolutely stunning, and we think she's going to be a fave with the guys - and the gals, considering she works at her family's coffee shop, so she could whip up some nice iced lattes for the cast.
Chelley Bissainthe
- Hometown: Orlando, Florida
- Instagram: @_slimthin
- Fun fact: According to the promo, she’s big into astrology and she will be judging men based on their star signs.
Chelley's interest in astrology could mean she has really good intuition and won't be letting of the guys pull a fast one on her. We can see her journey on Love Island USA going pretty well if she keeps up this energy. Watch out, girls, Chelley is in town.
Huda Mustafa
- Hometown: Raleigh, North Carolina
- Instagram: @hudabubbaaa
- Fun fact: She’s an influencer and trainer who sells online coaching.
Given her dedication to her fitness journey, we don't see Huda giving up easily on Love Island USA, which could see her making it all the way to the final with her man. She could be a strong contender for the $100,000 (£74k).But, which guy looks like a bit of her?
Jeremiah Brown
- Hometown: Los Angeles, California
- Instagram: @findjeremiah
- Fun fact: He’s a model who just starred in a True Religion campaign.
Jeremiah's Instagram bio says: "God first". When looking at the other islander's Instas, we noticed that Belle had "Psalms 46:5 🤍" in her bio. Could their shared interest in faith, bring them together? This could be a match...
Nicolas Vansteenberghe
- Hometown: Jacksonville, Florida
- Instagram: @nicolasvans
- Fun fact: You might recognise him for his modeling work, but according to his Instagram, he also has a degree in nursing from Florida Atlantic University.
We can see the girlies getting lost in Nicolas' stunning, blue eyes. He's a model like Belle and Chelley, so could have similarities with these two ladies, but perhaps he'll be looking for someone who works in a different field? Enter, entrepreneur Yulissa.
Olandria Carthen
- Hometown: Decatur, Alabama
- Instagram: @x_0lan
- Fun fact: She’s a graduate of Tuskegee University.
Olandria is a beauty with brains. A look at her Instagram, and she loves travelling, so she'll need a man that can match her jet-setting lifestyle. Ace is quite successful and his DJ-ing career could take him international, so these two could be a vibe.
Taylor Williams
- Hometown: Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
- Instagram: @twill.3
- Fun fact: He was on the cover of Wonderland in 2024 for Louis Vuitton.
This season is full of models, and Taylor is one of them. When he's not modelling, Taylor spends time with his niece and likes to ride horses. Him and Chelley have modelling in common and from his Instagram, he seems pretty grounded, which could appeal to her spiritual nature...
Yulissa Escobar
- Hometown: Miami, Florida
- Instagram: @yulissaaescobar
- Fun fact: She’s an entrepreneur who works in real estate, hospitality, and “luxury & business,” per her Instagram.
We see good things ahead for boss babe Yulissa. She owns her own businesses so she definitely has a good head on her shoulders and seems super confident. This will come in handy on Love Island USA and could keep her in the villa for a good while. She's from Miami and Austin just moved there, so maybe they could be neighbours if not lovers!
