Andy Cohen promises drama-filled ‘Love Island USA’ Season 7 reunion with Ariana Madix, airing Aug. 25 on Peacock after a record-breaking season.

Love Island USA fans, get ready — Andy Cohen is promising a reunion that’s packed with drama, surprises, and a whole lot of fun.
The TV host and producer, best known for orchestrating the juiciest Real Housewives reunions, is stepping into the Love Island villa — well, sort of — to host the Season 7 reunion alongside Vanderpump Rules alum Ariana Madix. Filmed on Tuesday, the highly anticipated special is already generating buzz thanks to Cohen’s playful Instagram updates.
“Guys, Love Island reunions are no joke,” Cohen said in an Instagram Story while on a dinner break during filming. “This reunion — it’s good and everybody’s here. And I’m having so much fun with Ariana. She’s amazing… I like hosting a reunion with her. It’s really fun! So anyway, Daddy needs some coffee or something.”
Later that night, Cohen captured a crowd of excited fans waiting outside the studio. “We don’t get fans in front of Housewives reunions. What the hell, man? Good job, everybody,” he joked before reassuring them, “It was a great reunion, just so you know.”
While Cohen stayed tight-lipped on the details, viewers can expect fireworks. Season 7, which wrapped on July 13, was the franchise’s most-watched yet — delivering weeks of laughter, tears, shocking recouplings, and emotional dumpings. The final couples were Huda and Chris, Olandria and Nic, Iris and Pepe, and Amaya and Bryan, with the latter duo ultimately taking home the crown (and the $100,000 prize).
The reunion will likely give Islanders the chance to address lingering drama, clear the air, and maybe stir up new tension — because if there’s one thing Love Island USA is known for, it’s unexpected twists.
Fans won’t have to wait long to see it all go down. The Love Island USA Season 7 reunion special premieres Sunday, Aug. 25, at 6 p.m. PT/9 p.m. ET exclusively on Peacock.
