Who is the new Bombshell Elan Bibas from Love Island USA Casa Amor? Age, background, and details explored

Love Island USA Season 7 intensified on June 23, 2025, when host Ariana Madix launched the annual Casa Amor twist, sending the women to a new villa and resetting every contestant to single status. Among the six male newcomers waiting at Casa Amor, 24-year-old Elan Bibas quickly stood out.

During the girls’ first ice-breaker challenge, Ontario native Cierra Ortega chose Elan for pairing up, signaling immediate interest and putting existing partner Nic Vansteenberghe on notice. Elan’s on-screen introduction—including his claim that he is an “ultimate runner” and “wellness builder”—prompted viewers to ask who he is beyond the villa.

Below is a detailed look at the newest Love Island USA bombshell and how his arrival fits into the most twist-heavy Casa Amor yet.

According to a June 21, 2025, report from Jewish culture outlet Hey Alma, Elan graduated from Queen’s University with a degree in Engineering and Applied Science. He worked as a data engineer before branching into consulting and entrepreneurship.

Hey Alma also noted that Elan co-founded an artificial-intelligence start-up, sold the company in 2024, and now balances tech consulting with content creation. On Instagram—his handle is @elan.bibas—he describes himself as a “data engineer, wellness builder, ultimate runner.”

The same June 22 Instagram post announcing his Love Island USA debut reads:

“The twist has dropped – and Elan has officially entered the villa. If you know him, you know this is everything he’s about: saying yes to wild experiences, choosing growth over comfort, and showing up with full energy, always.”

Fitness and lifestyle

Elan’s social media feed highlights marathon training, interval-running tips, and hair-care advice for curly locks. Several posts from early 2025 show him completing a sub-three-hour marathon in Toronto and coaching followers on mindfulness.

Casa Amor and the new bombshells

Casa Amor for Love Island USA Season 7 began on June 23, 2025, with 11 total bombshells—six men at Casa Amor and five women entering the main villa. Alongside Elan, the new male Islanders are:

• Bryan Arenales (Boston)
• Chris Seeley (Fresno)
• JD Dodard (Dallas)
• Zac Woodworth (Portland)
• Zak Srakaew (Roi Et, Thailand)

In the main villa, the female bombshells are:

• Savanna “Vanna” Einerson (Salt Lake City)

• Gracyn Blackmore (Bristol, Virginia)
• Jaden Duggar (Los Angeles)

During Love Island USA Aftersun on June 21, 2025, Ariana Madix promised “more twists and turns to Casa than ever before,” including the rule that every original Islander will return to the main villa—single or recoupled—after four days.

Current couples entering Casa Amor week are Chelley Bissainthe and Ace Greene, Cierra Ortega and Nic Vansteenberghe, Olandria Carthen and Taylor Williams, and Amaya Espinal and Austin Shepard.

Single Islanders include Huda Mustafa, Andreina, Iris Kendall, Pepe Garcia, and TJ Habersham. Elan’s entrance could shift multiple dynamics. Cierra publicly praised Nic’s loyalty last week but selected Elan in the first Casa kiss, suggesting openness to change.
