During Love Island USA season 7 episode 14's recoupling, Jeremiah decided to couple up with Iris instead of going back to Huda. Huda was visibly upset at the decision, as she had thought Jeremiah would come back to her.

After the recoupling, Huda shared with her fellow islanders that she was still hoping for her relationship with Jeremiah because he had assured her that he wasn't interested in Iris and didn't want to share a bed with her.

The Love Island USA star said her former partner claimed to still care for her, which made her want to give him another chance. However, she was left disappointed when he let her down again.

Huda soon turned to Iris and sarcastically congratulated her for partnering up with Jeremiah and called her the "safe option."

Since Huda and Jalen were left without a partner, they were at risk of being dumped. The safe islanders had to vote and choose between the two as to whom they wanted to keep in the villa.

Huda received the most votes and was saved from getting dumped. Surprisingly, one of the votes she received was from Iris, whom she had been criticizing the entire episode.

Huda felt touched and later thanked Iris for understanding her situation and giving her another chance to stay in the villa.
