After a bunch of aggressively mid men fumbled the people’s princess, Amaya Papaya, she finally found her prince in Casa Boy Bryan, and they went on to become our Love Island USA season 7 champions. Although their romance was still pretty new at the end of the season, they did agree to be exclusive while still on the show. It was the love story we so desperately needed this season!
But just one week after the finale, a woman on TikTok claimed that she saw Bryan cheating on Amaya with a girl at a club in Los Angeles. (The accusation video has since been deleted.) The Love Island USA star seemingly responded to her in a playful TikTok video with Amaya, and per the reunion trailer, he formally addressed the allegations at the reunion. I am beyond sat for this reunion, which airs on Peacock on August 25. (Head to our Betches Youtube channel to watch the Love Island Reunion Live Reaction Stream on August 25 at 9pm ET / 6pm PT.!)
So, did Bryan actually cheat on Amaya? Let’s break down the rumors and his response.
Did Bryan Cheat On Amaya? Rumors, Response

Shortly after the season 7 finale aired, a TikToker named Morgan stressed us all out when she accused Bryan of cheating. In a now-deleted video, she claimed to have seen him at a club in Los Angeles with another woman. According to Morgan, they were all staying at the same Airbnb, and she witnessed Bryan bring this woman back to his private room while Amaya was staying in the Airbnb as well.
Although Bryan didn’t explicitly respond to her accusations, he seemingly addressed him in a TikTok video of Amaya jumping into his arms and smiling. “When everyone thinks you’re over meanwhile this is us,” he wrote, tagging Amaya.

In the reunion trailer, host Andy Cohen brings up the cheating rumors. “Chris, you were out with Bryan on the night of the alleged cheating,” he says. Bryan admits, “I had a lapse in judgment.” Obviously, the full context of that comment remains unclear since it’s just a teaser, edited to stir up interest. We’ll have to tune in to the reunion for the full story.
Whether or not there’s any truth to the cheating allegations, it does seem like Bryan and Amaya are still together. They seemed happy and couple-y during a mid-August appearance on Watch What Happens Live!, and in a recent interview with Us Weekly, Bryan shared that they’re “taking steps to [be boyfriend and girlfriend].” He added, “We care deeply about each other and we don’t want to rush things.”
