If you tuned into Love Island USA Season 7, you already know it wasn’t just a "summer of love." It was more like a summer of psychological warfare, mostly centered around two people: Huda Mustafa and Jeremiah Brown.
Honestly, they were the couple that everyone loved to hate. Or hated to watch. Or, if you’re like most of us, couldn't stop talking about on Twitter until 3:00 AM. They paired up on Day 1 and, for a minute there, it looked like they might actually go the distance. Then, the "Hurricane Huda" effect kicked in.
The Day 1 Trap: Why Huda and Jeremiah Failed
Most couples in the villa take a few days to feel things out. Not these two. They went from zero to sixty in about twenty-four hours. Jeremiah and Huda became the first couple to get intimate in the villa—Episode 12 was basically the point of no return.
But here’s the thing about moving that fast: when the foundation is made of sand, the house falls down the second a light breeze hits. For Jeremiah, that breeze was the realization that Huda’s attachment style was, well, intense.
"Hurricane Huda" and the Attachment Issue
If you look at the breakdown of their fights, it wasn't just about small stuff. It was about everything.

- The Hickey Incident: Huda literally "marked" Jeremiah to warn off other girls.
- The Secret: Huda didn't tell Jeremiah she was a mother to a 4-year-old daughter until Episode 4.
- The Language: She frequently called him "pussy ass bitch" and "not a real man" during her infamous "crashes."
It was uncomfortable to watch. One minute they were the strongest couple in the house, and the next, Huda was standing over him while he sat on the couch, demanding he hold her "the right way." It felt less like a romance and more like an episode of a psychological thriller.
Jeremiah, for his part, mostly shut down. He became "Mute Jeremiah." He couldn't articulate his feelings, which only made Huda spiral harder. It was a classic anxious-avoidant trap.
The Public Intervention: America Breaks Them Up
Usually, the public votes to dump people. In Love Island USA Season 7, America did something a little different: we voted to break them up.
When the producers revealed that the public chose to pair Jeremiah with the bombshell Iris Kendall, the villa exploded. Huda didn't blame the public. She didn't blame the producers. She blamed Jeremiah.

She convinced herself—and tried to convince the other girls—that Jeremiah had "led" the public to think he wanted out. It was a masterclass in deflection. While Jeremiah actually seemed relieved to go on a date with Iris, Huda was back at the villa "crashing out," telling anyone who would listen that Jeremiah was a "snake."
Did the Boys Sabotage Jeremiah?
There is a lot of chatter about the night Jeremiah was finally dumped. Ace, Nic, and Taylor were the ones who had to make the choice. Even though they called him "bro" all season, they sent him packing in Episode 18.
Some fans think it was a strategic move. Jeremiah was a threat. Others think they were just tired of the Huda drama. If you remove Jeremiah, you theoretically remove the source of the villa's biggest headaches. Except, Huda stayed. And she stayed long enough to recouple with Chris Seeley after Casa Amor.
Where Are Huda and Jeremiah Now in 2026?
It's been a while since the cameras stopped rolling. You’d think there might be some lingering "what ifs," but the post-show reality is pretty dry.

Jeremiah Brown has been doing the rounds on podcasts and lately was spotted outside the Peacock Theater in LA. He’s been very clear: he and Huda are "cool," but there is zero romantic future there. He’s currently focusing on his career—and apparently a book club in New York? Strange pivot, but we'll take it. He admits that he regretted getting intimate so fast and that the "Hurricane Huda" experience was a lot to handle.
Huda Mustafa, meanwhile, has leaned fully into her villain/main character persona. She's sitting at nearly 2 million followers on Instagram. She’s the most-followed islander of her season, proving once again that being "toxic" is great for the algorithm. She’s moved back to Raleigh, North Carolina, and is still running her fitness coaching business.
Actionable Takeaways from the Huda/Jeremiah Saga
If we learned anything from watching this train wreck, it’s these three things:
- Pace Yourself: Moving too fast physically before you know someone’s personality is a recipe for a "crash out."
- Watch the Red Flags: Name-calling and "marking territory" aren't signs of passion; they're signs of a lack of emotional regulation.
- Communication is Key: Jeremiah’s "shut down" method only fueled Huda's fire. If you can't talk, you can't stay.
For anyone looking to rewatch the chaos, the full Love Island USA Season 7 is still streaming on Peacock. Just maybe skip the "pancake situation" episode if you value your blood pressure.
