After the absolute hell our Amaya Papaya went through on Love Island USA season 7, the nation breathed a sigh of relief when she found Bryan, a decent man who not only understood her but celebrated her. Amaya and Bryan made their relationship exclusive while still on the show and went on to become this year’s champions. We were all praying these two would have a happily ever after, since the people’s princess deserves no less! But alas, their relationship status seemed uncertain post-Fiji.
There have been lots of rumors that Bryan cheated on Amaya. And on August 25 (Reunion Day!), fans also noticed that the Love Island USA winners suddenly unfollowed each other on Instagram. So, did Amaya and Bryan break up? Here’s a necessary update on their relationship status.
Why Did Love Island‘s Amaya And Bryan Break Up?
Unfollowing each other was already a pretty major breakup indicator, but it wasn’t confirmed until Amaya posted on her Instagram Story on August 27. “Bryan and I are no longer together,” she wrote, confirming things had been rocky since leaving the villa. “It became very clear that we were on two different journeys.” Amaya didn’t confirm or deny if the cheating rumors had anything to do with the split but alluded to an imbalance as a couple: “relationships are supposed to be a team support.” She went on to say that she wishes Bryan the best.
Before the announcement, Amaya appeared to have been hinting at a breakup in her depressing TikTok reposts. She shared one edit with the caption, “how it feels when you know you have to leave him alone,” and another that read, “when I finally pick myself back up and never let my walls down like that again.” The Love Island star also reposted a TikTok emphasizing the importance of platonic love.
The Instagram unfollowing and breakup-esque TikTok reposts come after allegations that Bryan cheated on Amaya. A TikToker, Morgan, claimed in a since-deleted video that she saw him with another woman at a club in Los Angeles, and that he brought the woman back to his private Airbnb room. However, after that video got attention, Bryan seemingly responded with a TikTok video of Amaya jumping into his room. He captioned the post, “When everyone thinks you’re over meanwhile this is us.”
Interestingly, Amaya and Bryan seemed happier than ever when they appeared on Watch What Happens Live! on August 14. She even joked that just because they had to go to bed early “doesn’t mean we won’t have fun in the bedroom.”
Wishing only the best for our queen papaya!
