Love Island USA winner Kordell Beckham is offering his expert advice to the incoming season 7 cast. The 22-year-old reality TV star recently sat down for an exclusive interview with PEOPLE to discuss what the new love hopefuls should anticipate from the popular dating series, alongside his new Cat Dads campaign with Temptations. With the upcoming season of Love Island set to premiere in the following month, Beckham, who clinched the top spot with his now-girlfriend Serena Page, is imparting some insights for the cast before they embark on their journey to the Fiji villa.
In his conversation with PEOPLE, Beckham emphasised the importance of authenticity, urging the newcomers to remain true to themselves throughout their time on the show. “Just be comfortable with yourself, honestly. That’s literally it. Just be you. Be the best you, you can be,” he advised. “You don’t have to put on a front for anybody. They’ll love you for you. So, don’t try to hide aspects of yourself that you think people may not like, because they might appreciate it.”
According to Beckham, maintaining one’s true self will be instrumental in their success on the show. “I know some people, they get there [and] they know that there are people watching, and know that the cameras are there, and they feel like they don’t want to say the wrong thing, or do the wrong thing, or something like that. And it’s just like, you can do wrong, but you can’t really do too much wrong,” he added. Beckham also acknowledged the importance of mental preparation and self-care post-show, advising future contestants to take the necessary time to decompress and process their experiences.
When asked about life after the show, Beckham revealed that he is currently juggling his time between enjoying moments with girlfriend Serena Page and gearing up to film a scripted series later in the month. Although not a full-time cast member, Beckham will be featured in some capacity on the new Peacock spinoff series, Love Island: Beyond the Villa. Reflecting on his upcoming projects, Beckham expressed his excitement for the opportunities ahead while maintaining his authenticity. “I’m just doing the same thing, being me. The only difference is, I can actually see [the cameras] now. They have it in front of us,” he shared.
Beckham’s pointers and insights come as the anticipation builds for the premiere of Love Island USA season 7, exclusively on Peacock starting Tuesday, June 3 at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT with daily new episodes, except on Wednesdays. As we await the new season, Beckham’s advice serves as a guiding light for the incoming contestants, reminding them of the significance of staying true to themselves amidst the whirlwind of reality television.
With Beckham’s words of wisdom resonating with both contestants and fans, the upcoming season of Love Island USA promises to be filled with authenticity and genuine connections, inspired by the insights shared by the seasoned winner himself. Stay tuned for more updates on Love Island USA season 7 and immerse yourself in the journey of love and self-discovery with a touch of Beckham’s invaluable advice.
