LOVE Island USA Season 7 winners Amaya Espinal and Bryan Arenales have fans wondering if their love story fizzled out after spotting a telling clue online.
The lovebirds’ romance won over America as they received the most votes over any other couple during last month’s finale.

However, their “fairytale” might already be over, based on their recent move on social media.
Fans went into a frenzy early Monday morning when they noticed that Amaya and Bryan were no longer following each other on Instagram – a major sign that there could be trouble in paradise.
PARADISE OVER
One devoted follower took to a popular Love Island USA forum to post screenshots of their detective work, showing that the pair’s names don’t populate on each other’s pages.
This sparked speculation in the thread that the duo isn’t together anymore, just hours before the show’s reunion special drops on Peacock.
“I need a reunion about after the reunion atp,” one person commented.
“They should have brought this drama to the reunion, what a miss!” complained another.
“I just know the producers of the reunion are LIVID that all of the real drama is happening a week later,” said a third, pointing out that the reunion was filmed only a week earlier.
“Timing gives they stuck it out for press week and split at the earliest possible window with no more cast obligations as we say goodbye to s7 after reunion day,” a fourth theorized.
Others noted that Amaya and Bryan hadn’t been interacting with each other’s posts for quite some time, signaling that a breakup might be likely.
Many fans suspected that they parted ways shortly after winning the series, in which they chose to split their $100,000 prize money evenly.
Chatter of their potential split swirled when fans again noticed their limited engagement with each other online.
The gossip Instagram account Too Hot Tea claimed the couple had broken up after two weeks together, with Amaya returning to New York City and Bryan to his home in Boston.
Adding fuel to the speculation, videos surfaced of Bryan partying at a club surrounded by women, leading fans to believe they were done for good.
However, many held out hope that the pair’s relationship was still going strong – at least until Monday’s reunion led by Love Island USA host Ariana Madix and Bravo king Andy Cohen.

ANOTHER RELATIONSHIP END?
Another relationship that’s rumored to be over is Iris Kendall and Jose “Pepe” Garcia-Gonzales.
Iris made the same move as Amaya and Bryan and unfollowed Pepe on Instagram, raising eyebrows over whether they’re done for good.
Pepe’s former flame on the show, Hannah Fields, also followed suit and unfollowed her ex, as cheating rumors circulate.
It’s unclear if fans will gain any insight into the breakups in the reunion, which is promised to be the most dramatic and “tense” in the show’s history.
But the numerous breakups in recent weeks by Love Island USA couples have many questioning the likelihood of finding true love on reality TV.
Late last month, Season 6 couple JaNa Craig and Kenny Rodriguez announced their split after one year of dating.
They’re currently featured on the spin-off series, Love Island: Beyond the Villa, though they were still dating during filming.
