Love Island USA Season 8 Reveals Throuple Twist With Bombshells

Love Island USA's Vasana Montgomery Breaks Silence on Removal Over Past Racial Slur

Apparently, three’s not always a crowd. 

Love Island USA season eight introduced a new twist in the final moments of its premiere episode: throuples. And here’s how it went down. 

About 24 hours into their Love Island experience, the pairings were asked to decide whether they wanted to stay committed to their current couple, or if they wanted to explore other options. For those who wanted out—Beatriz, Trinity, Bryce and Zach—new bombshells were introduced to sweep them off their feet. 

And indeed, newcomer Gabriel took Beatriz and Trinity to a special hideaway for the evening, while Kayda spirited Bryce and Zach away from the villa. 

The two groupings of three spent the evening together away from the rest of the Islanders, exploring these new possible connections (and yes, sleeping in one XL bed together) while back at the villa, Kenzie and Sean were left single. 

For Sean, being left by Beatriz was “honestly surprising,” telling host Ariana Madix, “I feel like we had good chemistry, good conversation, and everything seemed to be going well.”

“Yeah, damn, that just kinda sucks,” he added, “because I was actually excited for this one.”

Kenzie, meanwhile, was less surprised, having sensed that Zach wasn’t matching her energy. She did however affirm, “It’s okay. There will be someone better.”

But while the evening of throuple-hood provided a new twist to Love Island, the trios weren’t destined to last. While Gabriel and Kayda spent the day getting to know their two dates, they each were forced to make a decision about who they wanted to couple up with moving forward before becoming residents of the villa.

At the infamous firepit, Kayda chose Zach, while Gabriel opted to move forward with Beatriz, leaving Trinity and Bryce to once again couple off. Kenzie and Sean, however, remained single and vulnerable. 

For dedicated Love Island USA fans, Zach may look familiar: He’s the younger brother to season seven alum Charlie Georgiou.

Zach, however, has loftier goals, saying during the premiere episode, “I’m here to see if I can do better than him and find love."

As for how he usually likes to charm women?

“If I’m talking to a girl, I do always bring up One Direction because it always works," the reality star from Birmingham, England, said. "But it’s real. I do actually love them. They’re surprised when I start spitting some ball knowledge about 1D."
