Trinity Tatum and Bryce Dettloff have emerged as the winners of the eighth season of *Love Island USA*, a reality series that has captivated audiences since its debut in 2019. As the couple prepares to move forward from their time in the villa, they express excitement for their future together outside the spotlight.
The highly popular show, which pairs contestants to compete for a prize of $100,000, ended its eighth season with a reunion scheduled for August 31, 2026. This upcoming event has sparked curiosity among fans eager to learn which of the latest couples from the show are still maintaining their relationships.

While many couples face struggles after their time on the show, a number of pairs from previous seasons have successfully managed to keep their romances intact. Among them, fourteen couples have emerged as enduring success stories in the *Love Island USA* franchise. Additionally, there’s a unique case of Cormac Murphy and Johnnie Olivia, who found love off-screen after appearing on separate seasons.
As fans reflect on the previous season and the recent breakup of season 7’s beloved couple Nic Vansteenberghe and Olandria Carthen, attention turns to the relationships that have flourished beyond the villa. The continuation of these romances brings hope to many new pairs that viewers are eager to follow.
One prominent couple is Kat Gibson and Bryce Fins, who met during season 4. Although they were coupled with other partners back then, they ignited a romance after their season concluded. Their relationship was first publicly acknowledged on Instagram in February 2025, when Fins affectionately referred to Gibson as his “favourite person.”
Another success story is that of Hannah Wright and Marco Donatelli, who claimed victory in season 5. The couple not only moved in together in Boca Raton, Florida, but also made history as the first from the American iteration of the show to get engaged. They announced their engagement on social media and are planning to marry in December 2026.
Taylor Smith and Carsten “Bergie” Bergersen finished third in season 5, but their romance has proven resilient, navigating the challenges of a long-distance relationship for almost three years. Bergersen proposed to Smith in May 2026, sharing heartfelt sentiments on Instagram about the impact the show had on his life.
Serena Page and Kordell Beckham, winners of season 6, are another pair that continue to thrive. What began as a slow-burn romance in the villa has developed into a strong partnership, with the couple recently settling in Los Angeles while pursuing their individual careers. Beckham hinted at a future proposal, elevating their commitment to each other.
Leah Kateb and Miguel Harichi, who finished as runners-up in season 6, have also strengthened their relationship post-show. Now living together in California, they regularly share glimpses of their life as a couple on social media platforms.
Taylor Williams and Clarke Carraway paired up during season 7 and have documented their journey together, having faced numerous challenges, including Williams’s recovery from a serious horseback riding accident. Their continued presence in the follow-up series *Love Island: Beyond the Villa* has allowed fans to witness their growth as a couple.
Iris Kendall and TJ Palma briefly explored their connection during season 7, but after different paths led them away from the villa, they found their way back to each other off-screen. Their relationship was dramatically revealed on Instagram in November 2025, with Palma asking Kendall to be his girlfriend.
As for the newly crowned couple, Trinity Tatum and Bryce Dettloff, Tatum has expressed a desire to move to Los Angeles to be closer to Dettloff. In her own words, she feels an overwhelming inclination to be where he is.
The eighth season has also introduced other couples like Aniya Harvey and Carl Schmidt, Kenzie Annis and Dylan Wrona, and several others, who share similarly positive updates about their lives after the show, including fitness endeavors and fun activities together.
While each couple boasts its unique journey, it seems that many contestants have successfully transitioned their romantic connections into meaningful relationships. As August 31 draws nearer, fans will be eager to learn about the fates of all the *Love Island USA* couples, but for now, the focus remains on the enduring bonds that have developed during and after the series.
