The Ultimate Casa Amor Carnage: Ranking Love Island USA Season 7’s Most Shocking Splits And Surviving Couples
The infamous Casa Amor twist in Love Island USA Season 7 (2025) delivered one of the most brutal and unpredictable weeks in the show's history, completely reshaping the dynamics of the Villa. As of late December 2025, the dust has settled, but the drama continues for the couples who faced the ultimate loyalty test.
This season, the iconic shake-up saw the girls leave the main Villa for a new tropical location, while 11 new bombshells entered both locations, forcing the original Islanders to make tough choices. The fallout was immediate, with multiple couples splitting and a few new, unexpected connections emerging from the chaos. This is the definitive breakdown of the Casa Amor carnage, from the most devastating splits to the surprising survivors.
The Casa Amor Bombshells and Original Islanders: A Cast of Chaos
The success of the Casa Amor twist relies entirely on the new faces brought in to tempt the existing couples. Season 7 of the Peacock series was no exception, introducing a massive influx of new entities ready to stir up the Villa.
Key Islanders Affected by Casa Amor:
- Amaya Espinal (Original Islander, later Winner)
- Bryan Arenales (Original Islander, later Winner)
- Olandria Carthen (Original Islander)
- Nic Vansteenberghe (Original Islander)
- Taylor (Original Islander)
- Austin (Original Islander)
- Chelley Bissainthe (Original Islander)
- Ace Greene (Casa Amor Bombshell)
- Clarke Carraway (Casa Amor Bombshell)
- Jaden Duggar (Casa Amor Bombshell)
- Gracyn Blackmore (Casa Amor Bombshell)
- Pepe / Jose “Pepe” (Casa Amor Bombshell)
- Iris Kendall (Casa Amor Bombshell)
- TJ Palma (Casa Amor Bombshell)
- Andreina (Casa Amor Bombshell)
- Huda (Casa Amor Bombshell)
- Vanna Einerson (Casa Amor Bombshell)
The sheer number of new Islanders, including Savanna Einerson and Courtney Watson, ensured that very few of the original couples would make it through the week unscathed. Host Ariana Madix delivered the news of the twist, setting the stage for the drama that would define the rest of the season.
The Recoupling Carnage: 5 Biggest Splits from the Casa Amor Twist
The Casa Amor recoupling is the most anticipated moment of any Love Island season, and Season 7 did not disappoint. The results saw multiple original couples shattered, leading to immediate tears, explosive arguments, and surprising dumpings. This is where the loyalty of the Islanders was truly tested, and many failed spectacularly.
1. The Olandria and Nic Devastation
Perhaps the most heartbreaking split involved Olandria Carthen and Nic Vansteenberghe. They were a strong early couple, but the Casa Amor temptation proved too much. The recoupling saw both Islanders choose to move on with new people, leaving their original connection in the past. This split was a prime example of the "out of sight, out of mind" mentality that Casa Amor thrives on, ultimately leading to their dumping from the Villa shortly after the fallout.
2. Taylor’s Shocking Move to Clarke
Taylor’s decision to leave her original partner for Casa Amor bombshell Clarke Carraway was one of the season’s biggest talking points. The new connection was instant and intense, and Taylor chose to follow her heart back to the main Villa with Clarke. This move created significant tension and drama in the Villa, but the couple ultimately found success, even becoming exclusive later in the season.
3. Austin’s Recoupling with Jaden Duggar
Austin’s choice to recouple with Jaden Duggar was another major shocker. The Casa Amor bombshell proved to be a strong match for Austin, and their connection was solid enough for him to bring her back to the main Villa. This decision ended his previous pairing and added Jaden to the growing list of new entities shaking up the villa dynamics.
4. Amaya and Zak’s Temporary Connection
Future winner Amaya Espinal briefly coupled up with new Islander Zak during Casa Amor. While she ultimately found her winning connection with Bryan Arenales, her brief detour with Zak highlighted the power of the twist to explore new options, even for those who would eventually find true love. The fact that the ultimate winner had a Casa Amor connection speaks volumes about the level of temptation.
5. The Iris and TJ Pairing
The coupling of Iris Kendall and TJ Palma was another pairing that emerged from the Casa Amor experience. While their connection was strong enough to survive the recoupling, it was a relationship that would face challenges in the main Villa and ultimately not last long-term. This pairing demonstrated how easily new bonds could be formed during the separation.
Where Are They Now? Casa Amor Couples Still Together in 2025
The true measure of the Casa Amor twist is not who recouples, but whose new relationship can survive the pressures of the outside world. As of late 2025, the relationship status of the couples who formed during or were affected by the Casa Amor week provides the most current and fresh information on the season.
The Splits: When the Outside World Proved Too Much
Many couples who either stayed together or formed a new connection during Casa Amor have since announced their split. The high-stakes environment of the Villa often creates an illusion of a strong bond that cannot be sustained in reality.
- Amaya Espinal and Bryan Arenales: Despite winning the season, the ultimate power couple announced their split after leaving the Villa. The pressure of the outside world proved too much for their relationship, marking a disappointing end for the Season 7 winners.
- Iris Kendall and Jose “Pepe”: Their Casa Amor-formed connection did not last long after the show. The couple, who were a product of the twist, ultimately called it quits, proving that not all Casa Amor connections are built to last.
- Olandria Carthen and Nic Vansteenberghe: As expected, the original couple that failed the Casa Amor loyalty test did not rekindle their romance outside the Villa, remaining separated after their dramatic split.
The Survivors: The Casa Amor Connections That Endured
In a rare success story, one couple that was either formed or heavily influenced by the Casa Amor twist has managed to stay together and is still exclusive in 2025. This proves that sometimes, the chaos of Casa Amor can lead to a genuine, lasting connection.
- Chelley Bissainthe and Ace Greene: Chelley and Casa Amor bombshell Ace Greene are one of the key success stories from Season 7. They confirmed they are still together and exclusive as of late 2025. Their relationship, which was forged in the explosive aftermath of the recoupling, has proven to be one of the most stable and enduring from the season, delighting fans who followed their journey.
- Clarke Carraway and Taylor: The Casa Amor connection between Clarke and Taylor, which caused so much drama, proved to be genuine. While their current relationship status is less publicized than others, they were noted for having a bumpy yet exclusive journey after the recoupling, suggesting a strong foundation was laid during their time in the villa.
The intense drama of Love Island USA Season 7’s Casa Amor will be remembered for its brutal recoupling, the dumping of fan favourites, and the formation of couples that ultimately defined the season. While the winners have parted ways, the survival of the Chelley and Ace connection serves as a reminder that even the most chaotic twists can sometimes lead to true love.
