Huda Mustafa from Love Island USA season 7 has been spotted holding hands with Louis Russell, a star from Too Hot to Handle and Perfect Match. The two made their red carpet debut at the Weapons movie premiere in Los Angeles on July 31, fueling rumors of a new romance.
Huda and Louisโ Red Carpet Debut
Huda and Louis attended the premiere of the horror film Weapons in matching black outfits. Huda wore a floor-length black lace gown, while Louis opted for a sleek black suit. Photos and videos from the event showed them holding hands and smiling for the cameras.
This wasnโt the first time they were seen together. Earlier in July, fans spotted them holding hands at The Grove shopping mall in Los Angeles. They were also seen in London, where Huda greeted fans while Louis stayed in the background.
Neither Huda nor Louis has confirmed their relationship status. However, their frequent public appearances suggest they are more than just friends.
Hudaโs Journey on Love Island USA
Huda became a fan favorite on Love Island USA season 7, which ended on July 13. She initially coupled up with Jeremiah Brown, but their relationship was filled with drama. After America voted to keep them apart, Jeremiah was eliminated.
Huda then moved on with Chris Seeley, a Casa Amor bombshell. They made it to the finale but broke up just before the winners were announced. Huda told Chris she didnโt see a future with him, and he agreed.
“Iโm not going to fake something if I donโt believe itโs there,” Huda said after the show. “I really didnโt care about winning. I wanted to leave with my person, and if this isnโt my person, then Iโm not leaving with you.”
Who Is Louis Russell?
Louis is a British model who first gained fame on Too Hot to Handle seasons 5 and 6. He also appeared on Battle Camp and the latest season of Perfect Match, which premiered on August 1.
On Perfect Match, Louis was paired with Sandy Gallagher from The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On, but they didnโt last. His appearance with Huda suggests he didnโt find love on the show.
Fan Reactions and Whatโs Next
Fans have been quick to speculate about Huda and Louisโ relationship. Some noticed similarities between Louis and Hudaโs ex, Jeremiah. Others are excited to see if this new romance will last.
The Love Island USA season 7 reunion is set to air on August 25 on Peacock. Hosted by Ariana Madix and Andy Cohen, it may reveal more about Huda and Louisโ relationship.
Huda, a mother to a 5-year-old daughter, has been open about her journey on reality TV. She has no regrets about her time on Love Island and is focused on staying true to herself.
“I stayed authentic, and I didnโt fake anything, whether people liked it or not,” she told E! News. “I didnโt let anyone influence me in any way.”
