Just days before the Love Island USA season 7 reunion, winners Amaya Espinal and Bryan Arenales, along with finalists Iris Kendall and Pepe Garcia, shocked fans by unfollowing each other on Instagram—sparking heartbreak rumors that their once-promising romances have already crumbled under the pressures of real life and sudden fame.

Just when fans thought the fairy-tale romances from Love Island USA season 7 were still alive and thriving, the internet has erupted with speculation that not one, but two of the show’s most celebrated couples may already be over.

The bombshell comes just days before the highly anticipated reunion episode drops on Peacock this Monday, setting the stage for what could be the juiciest installment yet.

Amaya Espinal and Bryan Arenales, who emerged as the winners of the season after capturing viewers’ hearts with their playful chemistry and emotional journey, have seemingly unfollowed each other on Instagram.

For fans who have followed the couple’s whirlwind romance from villa flirtation to final declarations of love, the move was nothing short of shocking.

“This doesn’t just happen out of nowhere,” one fan wrote in a Reddit thread buzzing with theories.

“You don’t just unfollow your partner unless something big went down.”

But Amaya and Bryan aren’t the only ones raising eyebrows.

Runners-up Iris Kendall and Pepe Garcia, who many had pegged as one of the strongest couples of the season due to their steady connection and no-drama approach, appear to have done the same.

The pair’s digital distancing has ignited a wave of fan theories that both relationships may have ended quietly in the weeks following the season’s finale.

The timing is particularly suspicious, as the reunion special is set to air in just a matter of days.

Traditionally, the reunion serves as the moment where couples provide updates on life outside the villa—sometimes confirming engagements, sometimes announcing shocking splits.

This year, the tension is already boiling before the cameras even roll.

Social media sleuths have wasted no time diving into the details.

Observant fans noted that Amaya recently posted a cryptic story featuring the quote, “Sometimes love isn’t enough,” which many took as a direct reference to her relationship with Bryan.

Bryan, meanwhile, has been spotted liking posts about “self-love” and “new beginnings.”

Iris has gone quiet on Instagram altogether, while Pepe was recently tagged in a group photo with friends in Spain—noticeably without Iris by his side.

The shift is surprising, given how both couples had spoken glowingly about their futures during their exit interviews.

Amaya had told the press that she and Bryan were “already making plans to travel together” and that she felt they were “just getting started.”

Iris, meanwhile, had described her bond with Pepe as “solid and unshakable,” insisting that the two were “ready to take on the real world.”

Fans now wonder if the pressures of long distance, sudden fame, or simply the transition from the bubble of the villa to everyday life may have proven too much.

Reality TV experts note that this is not unusual for Love Island couples.

While the villa often provides the perfect environment for whirlwind romances, complete with scenic dates and endless time together, the real world presents very different challenges.

“It’s easy to fall in love in paradise,” one commentator explained, “but the test comes when you’re back in your city, balancing work, family, and the demands of being in the public eye.”

The irony, of course, is that both Amaya and Bryan, as well as Iris and Pepe, were fan favorites precisely because they seemed more “real” and less calculated than some of their villa counterparts.

Amaya, in particular, had won over audiences with her vulnerable confessionals about never expecting to find love on television, while Bryan’s protective yet goofy personality made their partnership endearing.

Similarly, Iris and Pepe’s slow-burn romance had viewers rooting for them as the season’s “stable couple.”

Now, the burning question is whether the reunion will provide answers—or more questions.

Will Amaya and Bryan confirm a breakup, or brush off the Instagram unfollowing as nothing more than a minor spat? Will Iris and Pepe show up hand-in-hand, ready to prove doubters wrong? Or will this year’s reunion deliver a double heartbreak that leaves fans questioning if true love can ever survive the villa?

What’s certain is that Peacock has struck gold with the timing of this drama.

With speculation at an all-time high, ratings for the reunion are expected to soar as fans tune in to see who’s still together, who’s faking it, and who’s ready to spill the tea.

Until then, the comments sections of both Amaya’s and Bryan’s accounts have become unofficial battlegrounds, with fans debating whether this is the end—or just the beginning of another chapter in the Love Island saga.

One thing is clear: paradise may be over, but the drama is only just beginning.
