Trinity & Bryce Won ‘Love Island USA’ & Fans Were In Tears

Spoiler alert: Spoilers for Love Island USA Season 8 follow. Brinity stans, we are so up. Love Island USA Season 8 has come to a close — and we have our winners: Trinity and Bryce! After six weeks of (almost) daily watching, fans crowned Trinity and Bryce the winners of Love Island USA (and basically handed them a big ol’ check for $100,000). And, naturally, the internet is in tears. It’s a great day to be alive, y’all.

Bryce and Trinity were together from day one of Love Island USA, and fans watched as the pair grew from friends to an official couple by the end of the journey — even going so far as to say “I love you” to each other in the finale episode. And while the two did have some semi-rocky moments — like Bryce wanting to explore Kayda, Trinity’s Villa BFF — fans were definitely rooting for them throughout the season.

In the final four alongside Trinity and Bryce were second-place finishers Aniya and Carl, third-place finishers Melanie and Sincere, and fourth-place finishers Kayda and Zach. Known to the internet as the “core four,” Trinity, Aniya, Melanie, and Kayda had a strong bond in the Villa, and Trinity’s besties were incredibly supportive when the winning couple was named — despite missing out on the $100,000 prize.

Trinity’s reaction to Winning Love Island was so heartwarming.

Trinity’s reaction to winning, though, definitely brought the waterworks. After they were declared winners, Trinity began crying, saying that she “didn’t expect” something like this to happen to her because of where she’s from. “[There’s] not a lot of things that really come out, like greatness,” she said of her small hometown in Virginia. “Like, it does happen, but it’s rare.”

She wasn’t the only one crying, though — the internet was also in tears. Can someone pass the tissues?

The internet’s reaction to the Love Island USA Season 8 winners was sweet.

That’s not where the tears stopped, though. On the internet, fans reflected on Bryce and Trinity’s journey in the Villa — and the memories were just too adorable not to tear up over. IDK about you, but I really believe they deserved this one. (And the internet seems to agree with me on that!)

Are Trinity and Bryce still together after Love Island USA Season 8?

At the time of publication, yes — Trinity and Bryce are still together! Since the two were officially boyfriend and girlfriend before leaving the island — and said they loved each other — it’s safe to assume that they left the island together after the finale. We’ll know more about their IRL dating life when the Season 8 reunion airs on Aug. 31 — but you know I’ll be checking up on their socials regularly to see what Trinity and Bryce are up to. Congratulations to America’s favorite couple!
