Love Island USA season 7 returned with another episode on June 12, 2025, in which host Ariana Madix welcomed three new bombshells (new islanders) — Iris Kendall, Pepe Garcia, and Jalen Brown — into the Fijian villa. They turned heads with their entry while the existing islanders enjoyed a Leather and Leash party. Their arrival caused drama and rubbed many the wrong way.
Pepe and Jalen were introduced first, followed by Iris. The male newcomers kissed every female cast member, who were tied to X-shaped boards as per the rules of the party. Similarly, Iris shared a kiss with the men in the villa, which upset their partners, who were cuffed on the other side of the boards and unable to see what was happening.
Pepe, Iris, and Jalen became a topic of concern for many islanders already in the mix, as each worried about their existing connections. The June 12 episode of Love Island USA ended before the bombshells had the chance to mingle with the cast members. Thus, not much was revealed about them.

The upcoming episodes will showcase the impact of their arrival on the existing relationships in the villa.
More details on the three new bombshells of Love Island USA season 7
1) Pepe Garcia
While walking into the Love Island USA villa, Pepe shared that he was 27 years old and born in Madrid, Spain. He added that he moved to Los Angeles when he was three years old. Pepe stated that he was looking for a wife and looked forward to bringing some maturity and passion.
The newcomer expressed an interest in exploring connections with islanders Hannah and Cierra, and added that he was not afraid of stepping on some toes to get what he wanted.
According to Pepe's official Instagram handle (@pepe.garcia15), he is a trainer at his own gym and a former pro basketball player. He was a professional basketball player in a South American league, and also played college basketball for California State University, Fullerton.
2) Jalen Brown
Jalen, in his introduction tape, shared that he was a 27-year-old resident of Georgia. He described himself as the "traditional southern country guy" and deemed himself the "big dog" out of all the male cast members on Love Island USA. He warned existing islander Taylor to move out of his way because he was interested in his partner, Olandria.
"I'm here for Olandria because she's beautiful. She's from the south, and I'm from the south, and I think we can make a connection," he remarked.
As per Jalen's official Instagram handle (@elite.brown), he is into fitness and prefers sharing occasional motivational content.
3) Iris Kendall
Iris is 25 years old and a resident of Los Angeles. While sharing her intentions in her introduction tape, the Love Island USA bombshell mentioned that she had not participated in the show to "play nice."
"I have a great body. I love to flirt. I got my eye on some boys in there. Jeremiah and Nic. Step aside, girls, I'm gonna go for what I want," she added.
The newcomer has over 15K followers on her Instagram handle (@iriskendall) and describes herself as a digital creator in her bio. According to her social media, Iris prefers posting lifestyle, beauty, and fitness content. She is also listed as the owner of a spray-tan company called 310 Glo.
Her kiss with Jeremiah in the June 12 episode of Love Island USA rubbed Jeremiah's partner, Huda, the wrong way, as she called Iris a "b**ch," asking her to stop and move on.
The upcoming episodes will reveal the aftermath of the Leather and Leash party, as the men acknowledged in the closing segment that they were in trouble.
Love Island USA season 7 is currently streaming exclusively on Peacock.
