After weeks of drama, twists, heartbreak and romance in the Love Island USA Villa, the winners of season seven have finally been revealed.

Heading into the hit Peacock reality show’s finale on Sunday night, the winners of America’s heart and the $100,000 prize (split between the winning couple) remained a mystery. The final couples included Huda and Chris, Olandria and Nic, Amaya and Bryan, Iris and Pepe, and Huda and Chris after Chelley and Ace were dumped from the Villa during Friday’s episode.

After going on their final Love Island USA dates during the finale, host Ariana Madix revealed who received the most votes from viewers: Amaya Espinal and Bryan Arenales.

In addition, Peacock announced Sunday night that the Love Island USA reunion special will premiere Aug. 25 at 6 p.m. PT/9 p.m. ET and will be hosted Madix and Andy Cohen. Peacock also said Madix will host Season 2 of Love Island Games, set to premiere Sept. 16.

For Nic and Olandria’s final date, they walked the beach and read sweet notes from their fans. Pepe and Iris went on a boat ride and Bryan and Amaya shared a romantic evening, looking through a photo album from their childhood and families. As of Chris and Huda, they had a candlelight dinner on the water; however, it could go down as the most awkward date in Love Island USA history as they actually ended their romance during it.

After winning, Amaya got her iconic zoomies, running around the Villa with Bryan in excitement.

“I feel like I’m flying in the sky right now,” Amaya said after. “I just feel so seen and validated, and for people to see how powerful our connection is. I would do this ride all over again if it led me to him.” Bryan added, “Meeting Amaya here has turned my experience around ridiculously. I’m so thankful to meet this person, and I’d do this experience 100 times over.”

The winning couple also had to each choose envelopes to see which Islander would get the $100,000 and that person would then have to decide if they want to keep all the money for themselves or split it with their partner. And after Bryan pulled the one with the money, he happily split it with Amaya.

Following the success of season six last summer, which saw the Peacock show become a cultural phenomenon and the Islanders skyrocket to fame during their time in the villa (they also all reunited for Peacock’s new spinoff series, Love Island: Beyond the Villa), season seven had some big shoes to fill. However, this season delivered plenty of drama to viewers, including jaw-dropping dumpings (Who else is still mourning Jeremiah and Hannah being voted off by their fellow Islanders?), shocking recouplings (You can’t forget Taylor choosing Clarke over Olandria after Casa Amor) and friendships and relationships being put to the ultimate test (It’s safe to say the Islanders didn’t hold back in the Mailbox Challenge).

“This season is a little bit different than last and then last season was a little bit different than the one before, and I think that’s what makes it so fun. We’re just here for the ride and so I’m enjoying seeing how things are playing out,” Madix previously told The Hollywood Reporter of season seven.

This season was also met with some scandals, as contestant Yulissa Escobar was removed from the show at the beginning of the season after clips of her using racial slurs resurfaced online. Then a week before the finale, Cierra Ortega (who was coupled with Nic) departed the show amid backlash after a social media post from her resurfaced, showing her using a racial slur. They both have since apologized.

All of Love Island USA season seven is currently streaming on Peacock, and check out THR‘s interviews with Madix and narrator Iain Stirling.
