Love Island USA Season 7 winners Amaya Espinal and Bryan Arenales are still basking in the glow of their victory (and $100,000), but are taking time to relish in the love from fans, as well as the history they’ve made with their win.

Both Bryan and Amaya said that producers for “Love Island USA” slid into their DMs, asking them to audition for the reality dating series. Bryan was approached for the series after his tattoo artist convinced him to start posting on social media, just three weeks prior to joining the cast.
