Amaya Papaya will always be the people’s princess, but is Bryan still her prince? When these two took home $500k after winning season 7 of Love Island USA, I was bursting with gratituilly. It was a pretty brutal month in the villa for Amaya, who was misunderstood by several dumbass connections and low-key bullied by a few of the boys during the disastrous “Standing On Business” challenge. (All while she had no clue that the entire country was rooting for her.) Amaya stans everywhere were beyond relieved when Bryan came in during Casa Amor and showed our queen the respect and affection she deserves. By the end of the season, Amaya and Bryan agreed to take their relationship to the next level and be exclusive. But after recent TikTok rumors about Bryan allegedly cheating on Amaya, fans are wondering if they’re still together outside of the villa. So, are Amaya and Bryan still together after Love Island? Here’s what we know.
Yes, Amaya and Bryan are definitely still dating post-Love Island. During a recent interview with Us Weekly, Bryan shared, “[Amaya and I] are exclusive and taking steps to [be boyfriend and girlfriend]. We care deeply about each other and we don’t want to rush things.”
He explained that they’re navigating the budding romance in private. “We’re letting things happen naturally instead of doing stuff for the public eye, and we’re gonna continue doing that,” Bryan told the outlet.

Earlier this month, Amaya and Bryan made a cute video to her iconic audio: “I never said I was perrrfect! I never said I didn’t haaave any flaws! But at least I’m pretty and at least I’m a little funny.” Amaya captioned the post, “He thinks I’m bonita & funny as well 😎😍💕❤️💕🥰.” So, yes, Papaya Nation can rest assured that our champions are still going strong for now.
Of course, we’ll learn more about their relationship status when the Love Island USA season 7 reunion drops on August 25 on Peacock. The special episode will be hosted by dream duo Ariana Madix and Andy Cohen!
I was stressed out for a minute there, because there was a TikTok rumor that Bryan cheated on Amaya. A girl named Morgan said that she saw him at a Los Angeles club with another woman shortly after the finale aired. She also claimed that Bryan brought the woman back to his Airbnb room. Her video has since been deleted, and Bryan seemingly responded to the cheating rumor on TikTok.

On July 23, he shared a video of himself picking up Amaya and spinning her around. “When everyone thinks you’re over meanwhile this is us >>> @Amaya🩰🍒💕🫧,” he wrote in his caption.
Thank goodness this was fake news! I can’t deal with more heartbreak after the JaNa and Kenny news.
