The “Love Island USA” Season 8 contestants are back in the spotlight.
Over the weekend, the islanders interacted with fans as they walked the pink carpet ahead of the highly anticipated reunion. They ditched their swim trunks and bikinis and opted instead for elevated gowns and suits.
Aside from some public appearances, fans have noted that the new reality stars have been fairly quiet on social media post-show. In an interview with Us Weekly, host Ariana Madix spoke on the positives of keeping major updates for the reunion.
“I want to be able to follow up with certain things. So for me, it is helpful that I’ll be able to see them and catch up with them in real time,” Madix told the outlet. “I think it’s going to be so great because I’m really, really looking forward to asking them what’s been going on the last few weeks and having them give us all the updates.”
