Love Island USA season 5 cast would have more meaningful relationships.
Now that several years have ed since Love Island USA season 3 ended, audiences are left to wonder how superficial some of the season’s relationships were. Like most reality TV, drama and romantic involvement were amped up to amass the most screen time for each individual. After the renewed interest catalyzed by Love Island USA season 5, there is curiosity surrounding what Korey, Olivia, Kyra, Will, Bailey, Jeremy, Alanna, and Charlie are doing with their personal and professional lives in 2023. Most cast have taken the opportunity, provided by their involvement in Love Island, to promote their careers.
Love Island's Korey Gandy
Entrepreneur & Influencer
Eventual season 3 winner Korey Gandy had a brutal time in the villa before finishing strong with his friend-turned-romance Olivia Kaiser. Korey was linked to Kyra, Trina, Cashay, Florita, and Leslie before finally overcoming his heartbreak and settling down with Olivia to score a first-place finish. Since competing for love on the hit reality dating show, Korey has remained in his Virginia Beach hometown where he continues to increase his public presence as a social media influencer. By all s, he's currently single.
In addition to starting his own OnlyFans and trademarking his signature slogan "What the freak!" into a merchandising line, Korey continues to update his followers via Instagram, where he has roughly 290K followers to date. He also has a Cameo , where he offers short, personalized videos to fans. This has overwhelmingly positive reviews as he maintains a five-star rating from his loving fans.
Love Island's Olivia Kaiser
Model & Licensed Cosmologist
Anchorage, Alaska native Olivia Kaiser spent much of her time in the villa in a platonic friendship with Javonna Vega. When things didn't work out, it became obvious Olivia used Korey at the last minute to make it to the finals. This switch in partners landed both her and Korey a $50,000 first-place finish. Nowadays, Olivia lives in the much warmer Scottsdale, Arizona, where she works as a professional model, and licensed cosmetologist specializing in PMU.
As a health and beauty expert, Olivia has launched her skincare service entitled LivBeautifullyAz, which focuses on microblading, lip blush, eyeliner touch-ups, color boosting, and more. When Olivia isn't promoting her brand to her 300K Instagram followers, Olivia continues to work as a model represented by Debonair Management Group. She also appeared on The Challenge: USA and, unlike many of her Love Island USA contestants, she made it to the finals.
Love Island's Kyra Lizama
Model
For much of season 3, Hawaiian native Kyra Lizama showed nothing but love, loyalty, and respect for her Day 2 match Will Moncada. While it was angering that Kyra forgave Will too easily following his temptation, the two never wavered from each other and ultimately earned a well-deserved second-place finish. Alas, like all season 3 couples, the two ended their romance shortly after departing the villa. A few months after the split, Will and Kyra recoupled and adopted a shepherd/husky mix together.
Unfortunately, the on-and-off three-year relationship was not stable enough to maintain. Will announced on his Instagram that the two had split around May. According to the influencer, the couple had spent a lot of time considering their options and the process had been very difficult for them both. Kyra opted to move to Hawaii with their shared dog, Hilo. Will itted that he was not capable of caring for the dog on his own and that the departure was for the best (via TheMirror).
Love Island's Will Moncada
Model & Content Creator
Will Moncada showed immediate charm upon entering the villa on Day 1. After a brief Casa Amor flirtation, he wisely returned to his beloved Kyra to finish as a worthy runner-up. While the two split a few months after the popular reality dating show ended, Will and Kyra reunited in June 2022 and split again two years later (via US Magazine).
According to The Mirror, after some curious fans questioned the pair on their relationship, and several noticed the deletion of the couple’s shared , @kywiadventures, Will took to Instagram to share the bad news. As difficult and prolonged as the break-up was, the new life update seems to be a healthier alternative. Kyra and Will faced several insurmountable hurdles throughout their relationship. Will Moncada urged fans to show and remain from judgment for the time being after sharing:
"We decided to take different paths in our life and like in any relationship, it can end and it happened to our relationship."
When Will isn't occupied with his schooling, he calls Los Angeles his home and place of work, where he has several creative pursuits. Will offers personalized shout-out videos and personalized Zoom conferences to talk with fans about everything from veganism, fitness routines, diet plans, and the like. In the meantime, Will works as a professional model and promotes eco-sustainability in places like Colombia.
Love Island's Bailey Marshall
Model & Influencer
Despite entering the villa on Day 26, Portland, Oregon native Bailey Marshall managed to strike a genuine bond with Jeremy Hershberg and end up in a respectable third place. Unfortunately, the two ended their romance a few short weeks later. While Bailey has since returned to Portland, she no longer works as a marketing intern and has parlayed her TV presence into a career centered on modeling and social media influencing.
Aside from working with such fashion brands as Princess Polly, Bailey stays engaged with fans by remaining active on Instagram and Bailey's TikTok. She has garnered a large fan base on Instagram, with approximately 87k followers. Like many other cast , Bailey offers personalized videos through Cameo. Although her stint on the guilty-pleasure dating show was shorter than most, Bailey has made the most of her time on the island.
Love Island's Jeremy Hershberg
Entrepreneur, Content Creator, and Fitness Model
Because New Yorker Jeremy Hershberg was linked to Trina, Aimee, Florita, and Genevieve before ultimately finding a match in Bailey, he was considered the resident playboy himbo of season 3. Fair or not, Jeremy has moved on from Bailey by focusing on his career as an entrepreneur, content creator, and professional fitness model. By all s, he still resides in The Big Apple and is currently single.
After appearing in a nude Barstool Sports commercial in January 2022, Jeremy has focused his attention on his love of movies and created @Cinemaphoric, a digital space featuring stills and clips of favorite films. Surprisingly, Jeremy does not run a personal Instagram and solely posts on this artistic page. This ’s bio summarizes his position on his lack of social media presence, reading the following quote from Martin Scorsese: “I love movies, it's my whole life, and that's it.”
Love Island's Alana Paolucci
Model
Although she entered the villa on Day 26, New Yorker Alana Paolucci stood out for going after Charlie Lynch without apology even when he was in a committed relationship with Cashay. When Charlie chose Alana over Cashay, the two received enough fan votes to finish in fourth place. While Alana and Charlie didn't last very long after the show ended, she's continued to put her best foot forward by continuing her professional modeling career and appearing in an Elle photo shoot.
According to Alana's bio, Alana currently resides in Los Angeles and works as a professional model represented by Natural Models LA and Nous Models. Active on TikTok and Cameo as well, Alana has remained engaged with Love Island fans despite enjoying a relatively short stint on the hit reality dating show (via Alana's TikTok and Alana's Cameo). She is in a relationship with producer Sebastian Sartor.
Love Island's Charlie Lynch
Fitness Model and Entrepreneur
As for the last finalist Charlie Lynch, the Houston native experienced quite a bit of backlash following the Cashay debacle, only to sever ties with Alana not too long after leaving the villa. Moving back and forth between San Diego and his native Houston, Charlie is a fitness model and entrepreneur. The controversy regarding the show appears to have only worked to his advantage. Charlie's Instagram , featuring jaw-dropping destinations during his seemingly endless international trips, boasts approximately 130k followers.
Whether promoting Lube Life or BlueChew products, Charlie is making professional moves by branching out from his fitness modeling and moving into fashion. The model and influencer remains unsurprisingly single. If season 3 of Love Island USA taught fans anything, it relayed that it is hard for contestants to keep the company they left the island with.
Love Island USA seasons 1-5 are available to stream on Peacock.
