Sexy In Silver

Amaya looked sexy in a tiny silver bikini that glittered as the sun bounced off her skin. Its top was a classic triangle cut that offered considerable coverage, highlighting her bust and giving viewers a peek at her side boob. The top was secured by delicate strings at her back and on her neck, giving her bust a healthy lift.

Its bottoms were low-rise with string ties holding them in place, showcasing her full hips. She paired the classy fit with minimalistic jewelry, opting for a simple necklace, glittering bangles, and matching anklets and rings. She then added a chic flair by donning a pair of trendy shades.

Cheapening Herself?

The “Love Island” winner had her fans in a chokehold with the sizzling pictures. One awed fan typed, “Season 7’s people’s princess for a reason,” and another commented, “The prettiest.”

There were also several comments about how her ex-boyfriend and co-winner, Bryan Arenales, had sorely missed out by “fumbling” Amaya. Some even went as far as throwing jabs at him.

An Instagram user who found the comments about Bryan offensive typed, “I can see you’re commenting here and there for us to hate Bryan. No one cares you decided to cheapen yourself for him, and that's your fault.”

Bryan And Amaya’s Relationship

Amaya “Papaya” Espinal and Bryan Arenales became fan favorites on “Love Island USA” season 7 due to their genuine connection in the villa. Their romance blossomed quickly, and they made history as the first Latino couple to win the competition.

Sadly, their relationship didn't last long. The pair tried their hands at a long-distance relationship after the season ended, but they soon parted ways due to its strain.

They announced their split on their individual social media pages, sharing that they both wanted different things, and that's okay.
