Love Island USA Amaya and Bryan's connection grows as Zak pulls away from her

Love Island USA season 7 continues to shake things up in the villa, with a new potential couple catching fans’ attention. In a recent first look clip shared by the show, Amaya Espinal is seen growing closer to Bryan Arenales after he stood up for her during the Stand On Business challenge. The scene marks a major shift for Amaya, who’s previously been coupled up with Zak Srakaew.

Amaya and Zak’s connection has gone through several changes, and things shifted again when Zak shared that he felt their relationship was moving too quickly. Amaya appeared affected by his remarks. Around the same time, Bryan showed support toward her, which led to more conversations between them and the start of a possible new connection.

In the teaser, Amaya even mentions that her heart rate went up around Bryan, hinting at possible feelings developing. With Zak pulling away and Bryan stepping in, viewers are now wondering if this new connection could lead to a stronger pairing—and possibly even a shot at the finals.

Love Island USA airs on Peacock at 9 pm EDT, with new episodes every night except Wednesday.

Bryan stood up for Amaya during the challenge and gave her the support she needed in Love Island USA

Amaya Espinal’s journey on Love Island USA season 7 took a new direction after Bryan Arenales showed support for her during the Stand On Business challenge. The moment came when Amaya was feeling uncertain about where she stood in her current pairing, and Bryan’s response appeared to offer a sense of reassurance.

In a preview of an upcoming episode of Love Island USA, the two are seen having a thoughtful conversation about the challenge and how it made Amaya feel. Their interaction suggests they may be starting to build a new connection in the villa.

Bryan’s decision to speak up for Amaya helped shift the energy between them. It allowed her to lower her guard and see him in a new light. The conversation between them came across as warm and honest, suggesting there might be room for a deeper connection.

Amaya has been trying to find someone who understands her for who she is. Though she was previously linked to Ace and Austin, those connections didn’t last. Bryan’s calm and steady presence stands out, especially after the recent tension with Zak. With fans already reacting positively to their interaction, this could be the beginning of a new match that changes the course of Amaya’s time in the villa.

Amaya and Zak’s relationship hits a rough patch as he expresses doubts in Love Island USA

While Amaya’s bond with Bryan begins to grow, her current relationship with Zak Srakaew is becoming less stable. In a recent episode, Zak expressed that things were moving too fast between them, which led to a tense conversation. His comments came off as too direct, and Amaya didn’t take them well.

Although they try to discuss things further, the tone between them suggests that trust and comfort have started to fade. Amaya appears more reserved, and Zak seems unsure about how to move forward. The distance between them makes it unclear if they’ll be able to reconnect.

Amaya had been focused on building a connection with Zak, so the recent shift in their dynamic affected her. As Bryan begins to show consistent support, Amaya finds herself navigating two different paths. The next episode may reveal whether she continues with Zak or explores a possible connection with Bryan.
