Bryce and Trinity hugged and kissed as fireworks went off and their fellow islanders applauded.
“I’m just so overwhelmed,” said Trinity, 22. “I never would’ve expected in a million years that I’d be in this position right now. … I’m grateful that he chose me to be his partner, inside of here and outside.”
Bryce, 30, added, “I do love you so much. Every day feels so special with you, and I can’t wait for life outside of this. I’m just so happy to be with you.”
Shortly after, Trinity began to cry and Madix asked why. “I’m processing it right now,” said Trinity. “… I didn’t expect this to happen to me, especially where I’m from, there’s not a lot of things that really come out, like, greatness. It does happen, but it’s rare. … I’m just really glad that I got to meet Bryce. He really makes me happy and makes me feel seen and heard.”
Along with the finale, Peacock announced that the Love Island USA season 8 reunion, co-hosted by Madix and Andy Cohen, will drop Monday, Aug. 31, at 9 p.m. ET on Peacock.
Additionally, Love Island: Beyond the Villa is renewed for a third season, airing in 2027, with the cast to be confirmed later this year.
