"I really liked the things he said earlier"— Huda chooses Jeremiah as her partner in Love Island USA season 7 premiere

In the season premiere of Love Island USA season 7, the women had the power to choose their partners. However, to make their choices known, they had to let their lips do the talking. The host, Ariana Madix, presented the female islanders with a bag of tokens that decided the order in which they kissed the male cast members.

When it was Huda's turn, Ariana Madix told her that although Chelley and Ace were already paired up, she could steal him if she wanted. However, the Love Island USA season 7 cast member had other plans.

"You got this," Ariana said as Huda made her way to the boys.

Although she initially walked towards Nicholas, she swerved and kissed Jeremiah. Ariana joked that Huda could kiss multiple people if she wanted but Jeremiah joked that the Love Island USA season 7 cast member should stay by his side if she liked. However, Huda made her way to Ace and kissed him before walking back to the rest of the girls.

Ariana asked Jeremiah how the kiss was and he said it was "amazing." The host also asked Ace the same question and he joked that he wasn't thrilled about being someone's choice but said that Huda was beautiful.

Ultimately, Huda picked Jeremiah and the host asked her to stand next to him. When she asked the islander why she chose him, the participant said:

"I really liked the things he said earlier about how he's looking for a girlfriend and I feel like I need a more emotionally mature man."

However, Huda wasn't the only cast member with her eyes on Jeremiah. When it was Yulissa's turn to make her choices known, she walked over to kiss the male islander. However, out of respect for Huda, he asked her to only kiss his cheek.

Fans reacted to the segment online and praised Jeremiah for being respectful.

Love Island USA season 7 will air episode 2 tomorrow on Wednesday, June 4, 2025, on Peacock.
