Love Island USA Season 7 Reunion aired on August 25, 2025. Islanders from the recently concluded reality show returned one last time at the reunion. Hosted by Andy Cohen and Ariana Madix, cast members shared what they had been up to these days, and more.

Islanders, including Amaya, Bryan, Ace, Chelley, Nic, Olandria, and more, shared what they had been up to. However, some of them didn't share their current relationship status, including Huda.

"I mean, we are still exclusive. He's big on doing romantic gestures, and I love stuff like that. So just waiting for the perfect moment to be official," revealed Chelley.

At the Love Island USA reunion, co-host Ariana Madix asked Ace and Chelley about being together. She recalled how the two were "exclusive" when they were eliminated from the show.

"When you guys left the villa, you were exclusive, so where do you guys stand now in your relationship?" asked Ariana Madix.

Listening to her, both Chelley and Ace laughed. She then shared that the two were "still" exclusive, but not yet official. The reason was that they were waiting for the "perfect moment." She also shared that Ace was "big" on romantic gestures, which she liked.

Listening to Love Island USA star Chelley, Ariana asked Ace if he had something planned.

"I got something cooking up my sleeve," said Ace.

Co-host Andy asked him if Chelley was his first girlfriend. Ace answered that she was the first and "last too." Fellow Islanders cheered for the two.

"Are you in love with Chelley?" asked Andy.

Ace looked at Chelley and confirmed that he was in love with her. During the reunion, the couple also talked about getting to know each other before the show. They mentioned meeting in New York and knowing each other through social media.

While there was a discussion about Ace liking comments and also commenting on various posts of Chelley's social media posts, he said he did that to "everybody." They were talking about 2022. Additionally, Love Island USA star Chelley revealed that they met in 2024.

Fans must remember how Chelley and Ace were eliminated from the villa before the finale. At the time, fellow Islander Olandria stated that Chelley was not a "mean girl." She also supported Ace and noted that he was not a "villain."

The reunion also featured fellow Love Island USA Islanders from the show's seventh season. This included Amaya Espinal, Bryan Arenales, Iris Kendall, Huda Mustafa, Chris Seeley, Nic Vansteenberghe, Olandria Carthen, Hannah Fields, Austin Shepherd, Ace Green, Taylor Williams, Charlie Georgiou, Jeremiah Brown, and more.

Further in the reunion, viewers also witnessed Amaya and Bryan sharing their thoughts on various rumors. Iris and Pepe talked about their current relationship status. When Ariana Madix asked Huda about her current relationship status, she said she couldn't share because of legal reasons.
