Love Island United States has officially crowned its new winning couple.
During the season 8 finale on Sunday, July 12, Trinity Tatum and Bryce Alakai Dettloff took home the grand prize of $100,000 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 finished in second place, while Melanie Moreno and Sincere Rhea came in third. Kayda Bosse and Zach Georgiou rounded out the finalists after receiving the fewest votes from viewers.
Bryce and Trinity bonded during the first episode on June 2 and remained committed to each other throughout the six-week competition, surviving reconciliations, 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 pair exchanged “I love yous” during the finale.
After the win, Trinity tearfully reflected on how she found love in the villa. “I’m so glad I got to meet Bryce,” she told Madix. “He really makes me 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 United States Season 8 turned out to be another big hit for Peacock after Amaya Espinal and Bryan Arenales won in Season 7.
