The optimistic Aussie immediately snags a man from another contestant. Dubbed “the Australian Barbie” by some fans on X, she struggles to find a true connection.
Liv tries her best to find love during her time on the show. While she may not have found true romantic love, she does kindle a lasting friendship with fellow Islander Kaylor.
Connor Newsum
Another bombshell introduced on Day 2 is 28-year-old Connor Newsum. Connor is a PR specialist based in Santa Monica (per Radio Times). While his laid-back demeanor and undeniable good looks catch the attention of viewers and Islanders alike, he arrives at the Villa with a purpose.

Caine Bacon enjoys slightly more success than some of the other bombshell additions to Casa Amor. Hailing from the UK, the security guard and personal trainer quickly form a connection with Liv, and she chooses him to return to the Villa.
Following his appearance on the show, Caine ran into some controversy that potentially prevented him from returning for the reunion show — though this was never confirmed (per Deadline).
In since-deleted posts, Caine allegedly used some inappropriate phrases that seemingly mocked the Asian culture. Caine also shared some information regarding the inner workings of the show that were somewhat frowned upon by the producers (per The Hollywood Reporter).
Ignacio Ferrari
Argentinian-born Ignacio Ferrari joins Casa Amor on Day 17 as one of the bombshells to shake things up in the Love Island USA universe. The international model who now calls Colombia home is a mysterious and eye-catching addition to the Love Island USA cast.

Jacobi said this about his experience on the show: “There’s not enough preparing you can ever do to prepare for something like this, just gotta go with the flow and throw yourself in uncomfortable situations to grow” (per Instagram). Since his time on Love Island USA, he has continued with his personal training.
Sierra Mills
22-year-old Sierra Mills enters Casa Amor as another bombshell looking for love. The California native helps the Casa Amor team win the “raunchy races” in Episode 20. Her fun, bubbly personality, and good looks quickly attract Miguel’s attention.
The administrative assistant and bottle waitress said her experience on the show allowed her to embrace her natural beauty. She told Essence, “The experience reinforced my belief that true beauty comes from being authentic rather than trying to fit a particular image or conceal who you are.”
Catherine Marshall
Catherine Marshall, another Casa Amor bombshell, is a personal assistant in Arizona. The 24-year-old is of Puerto Rican and Dominican descent and speaks fluent Spanish. She initially couples with Kenny and returns to the Villa.
Catherine enjoyed her time on Love Island USA and hasn’t ruled out sliding into fellow contestant Harrison’s DMs (per The Arizona Republic).
Destiny Herzog
Paris-born model Destiny Herzog is another bombshell sent to Casa Amor to turn heads. Upon her arrival, the 22-year-old displays plenty of confidence and appeal.
Destiny’s Instagram features a Highlight reel of her time on the show. Within the reel, she reveals that she didn’t apply for Love Island USA; they approached her.
She also shared that while she enjoyed her time on the show, she was “definitely happy” to return to her “real life.” She said, “Reality TV isn’t something I ever saw myself doing [sic].”
Sydney Leighton
Sydney Leighton enters Casa Amor to find love and shake up the couples. The unemployed 24-year-old blonde bombshell had previously done a lot for love; she once traveled to the UK for a man.
Following her appearance on the show, Sydney faced harsh comments on social media that referenced her mother’s death. She even called out the show’s producers on Instagram for ignoring the issue and failing to support her during this time, stating, “I am hurting.”
Daia McGhee
27-year-old photographer Daia McGhee’s engaging personality and unique beauty catch the eye of some of the men in Casa Amor. She particularly attracts the interest of someone already involved with another person, which leads to plenty of drama.
Following her time on the show, Daia has continued her love of travel and now is a “Fashion + Travel Blogger” on Instagram. She has also collaborated with several brands, including Virgin Voyages and Fashion Nova.
Daniela Ortiz Rivera
Born in Puerto Rico and now living in Florida, Daniela Ortiz Rivera causes quite a stir as a bombshell in Casa Amor. Daniela immediately strikes up a physical connection with a man who is seemingly committed to another contestant.
In August 2024, shortly before the Love Island USA Reunion Episode aired, Daniela took to TikTok to speak out against the bullying that some of her castmates had been receiving. She said it “breaks my heart so much” when she saw all the hate people were receiving. She continued, “They’re real people with real feelings.”
Harrison Hans Luna
A welcome back for Season 5 Islander Harrison Hans Luna. The 27-year-old Aussie diamond dealer enters the Villa on Day 24 to once again take a chance at finding love.
Shortly after his appearance on the show, he posted a tribute on Instagram: “It was a short but very sweet visit, what a hell of a lot of fun!... Cheers to my partner in crime this season [Sierra] and all the other islanders for making it an incredible experience.”
