Love Island USA Season 7 Episode 12 dropped on June 15, 2025. The episode featured the second re-coupling ceremony, and it was a huge emotional toll for everyone involved, especially one of the self-proclaimed "strongest" couples in the villa.
The episode started with Charlie feeling uncomfortable about Hannah and Pepe getting closer and closer together, and it was revealed that she had made out with him.
In another story on Love Island USA, Huda and Jeremiah sit down to chat, and he tells her how Iris wants to explore the connection with him. However, he strictly told her that he was closed off (with Huda) even though the two might be having some problems right now.
This angered her, who warned him never to tell their problems to anyone else at all. Even though it was uncomfortable at first, the two made up and kissed.
On the other hand, Austin and Chelley talk about her relationship with Ace. He is not happy with how things have been going between the two, but Chelley did not like Austin's need for reassurance and compared it to how Ace is always confident about himself, no matter what.
Later, she and Ace sit down to chat, but he tells her that he wants to explore a connection with the new bombshell, Iris.
Chelley feels exhausted now that Ace, even though he says that he likes her, is trying to test the waters with everyone.
Also, Huda and Jeremiah hook up for the first time at the villa and have started saying "love you" to each other.
Charlie pulls Iris aside for a conversation the next day, but Hannah is not on board with the same and thinks he is doing the same just to make her jealous.
Love Island USA Season 7 Episode 12 Recap - Paige DeSorbo hosts the challenge
Paige enters the villa to host the day's challenge. The challenge takes a fun turn, mixing the freaky with questions and some secret make-out sessions inside the house. The islanders are all dressed up as lumberjacks and have to imitate cutting a tree, but with a twist.
Olandria was picked up again and again for the makeout and, at this point, had kissed four guys.
Love Island USA Season 7 Episode 12 Recap - The Recoupling and Elimination
This recoupling on Love Island USA season 7 episode 12 happened according to how America voted regarding who the new three bombshells should be paired up with. First off, Olandria was paired with Jaelen.
Iris was coupled with Jeremiah, shocking Huda, and Pepe is now with Hannah. This left Charlie, Taylor, and Huda single and vulnerable, and out of the three, Charlie was voted to be eliminated by the islanders.
This saddened Hannah the most, as she was in tears upon her ex-connection's exit.
