Love Island USA has officially crowned its newest winning couple.
During the Season 8 finale on Sunday, July 12, Trinity Tatum and Bryce Alakai Dettloff took home the $100,000 grand prize after America voted them the villa’s most compatible couple.
Host Ariana Madix announced the results during the finale, revealing that Aniya Harvey and Carl Lee Schmidt finished as runners-up, while Melanie Moreno and Sincere Rhea came in third. Kayda Bosse and Zach Georgiou rounded out the finalists after receiving the fewest viewer votes.
Bryce and Trinity teamed up during the very first episode on June 2 and remained committed to each other throughout the six-week competition, surviving reunions, bombshell arrivals and the franchise’s dramatic Casa Amor twist.
Their relationship continued to grow after the loyalty test, with Bryce asking Trinity to be his girlfriend before the pair exchanged “I love yous” during the finale.
After the victory, Trinity tearfully thought about finding love in the villa. “I’m just really glad I got to meet Bryce,” she told Madix. “He just makes me really happy and makes me feel seen and heard. I really never would have expected this, so now it’s like hitting me and I’m processing everything.”
Attracting billions of viewing minutes and a wave of new fans, Love Island USA season 8 proved to be another huge success for Peacock after Amaya Espinal and Bryan Arenales won in season 7.
