Love Island United States officially crowned their new winning couple.
During the Season 8 finale on Sunday, July 12, Trinity Tatum and Bryce Alakai Dettloff won the $100,000 grand prize after America voted them the most compatible couple in the villa.
Host Ariana Madix announced the results during the finale, revealing that Aniya Harvey and Carl Lee Schmidt placed second, while Melanie Moreno and Sincere Rhea placed third. Kayda Bosse and Zach Georgiou rounded out the finalists after receiving the fewest viewer votes.
Bryce and Trinity teamed up on the very first episode on June 2 and remained attached to each other throughout the six-week competition, surviving recouplings, explosive arrivals and the franchise’s dramatic Casa Amor twist.
Their relationship continued to grow after the loyalty test, and Bryce asked Trinity to be his girlfriend before the couple exchanged “I love yous” in the finale.
After the win, Trinity tearfully reflected on finding love in the villa. “I’m really, really happy that I got to meet Bryce,” she told Madix. “He makes me really happy and makes me feel seen and heard. I really never expected that, so now it’s like hitting me and I’m processing everything.”
Attracting billions of listening minutes and a wave of new fans, Love Island United States season 8 proved to be another major success for Peacock after Amaya Espinal and Bryan Arenales won in season 7.
