Love Island USA Explodes! Shocking June 8 Elimination – Which Couple Got Dumped LAST NIGHT?
Wondering about Love Island USA Season 7 elimination on June 8 as the first real shake-up hit the villa? With emotions running high and relationships beginning to shift, episode 6 brought the season’s first elimination following a tense recoupling. A last-minute decision left one Islander without a partner, forcing them to pack their bags.
Here’s what went down in the June 8 episode of Love Island USA Season 7 and the elimination that followed.
Who was eliminated in the June 8 episode of Love Island USA Season 7?
Belle-A Walker was eliminated from Love Island USA Season 7 during the June 8 episode after the first recoupling ceremony. Nicolas Vansteenberghe had the final pick and chose to couple up with newcomer Cierra Ortega, leaving Belle-A single and dumped from the villa.
This was the season’s first official elimination, following Yulissa Escobar’s earlier removal for racially insensitive comments. Hours before the recoupling, Nic admitted he was “50/50” between Belle-A and Cierra. He ultimately chose Cierra after sharing time with both, including a Hideaway session.
Belle-A and Nic had initially coupled up during the first episode and shared a slower-paced connection. Despite expressing boundaries and a desire to take things gradually, Belle-A remained open to getting to know Nic. He, however, pursued a faster physical and emotional bond with Cierra after her arrival.
The recoupling gave all male Islanders the power to choose their partners. As Nic chose Cierra, Belle-A became the last remaining single contestant and was immediately eliminated. Belle-A exited the villa with composure, telling Nic, “It’s not my loss.”
The show’s format continues with new episodes airing daily at 9 p.m. ET on Peacock, except Wednesdays. Ariana Madix hosts Season 7, with narration by Iain Stirling. The season’s format includes ongoing bombshell arrivals and romantic twists, with more recouplings expected in future episodes.
Love Island USA Season 7 premiered in June 2025 and continues to follow a group of singles navigating relationships and eliminations in a tropical villa setting.
