We are less than one week away from Love Island USA Season 7 — and Peacock just announced the new cast of sexy singles who will spend their summer hooking up, breaking up, and making up in a tropical Fijian villa.
We have models, pool boys, Hawaiian coffee shop owners and more joining host Ariana Madix in Fiji next week. Madix, who is a self-proclaimed Love Island USA super-fan, joined the show in Season 6 when she took over for former host Sarah Hyland. The installment ended up being last summer’s No. 1 reality series in the US and Peacock’s most-watched original reality competition series in the streaming platform’s history.
When DECIDER caught up with Madix earlier this month, she offered some advice to the new group of Islanders.
“[Don’t] try to recreate anything that you’ve seen or that you think might be good. I feel like that’s where people get a little lost in the sauce, so to speak,” Madix said, urging the next group of hot new bombshells to “be real” since that’s “what really resonates with people.”
So, are you ready to meet the first 10 singles joining Love Island USA Season 7?! Keep reading for everything we could dig up on them.

Last season, we had Rob Rausch, the snake wrangler — but this year, we have Austin Shepard, the pool man. “I love making people laugh. I look damn good while cleaning a pool. I got a pretty decent bulge — but that’s because I stuff it. No, I’m just kidding,” Shepard said in his introduction video. The ladies in the villa can be the judge of that!

We don’t know too much about Belle-A Walker other than the fact that she owns a coffee shop with her family in her home state of Hawaii. “I’m in the back with flour all over my face baking pastries,” she said in her introduction. “I love working at the coffee shop. You make everyone’s day better by handing them coffee all day. It’s amazing.”

According to Nicholas Vansteenberghe’s Instagram page, he is a registered nurse and a model so if things don’t work out in the villa, he should call up Summer House star Ciara Miller. I digress. Nicholas is also huge into “extreme sports” like skydiving and motorcycling. “When I see a new experience, I have to try it,” he said.

You know someone is going to be interesting when they start their introduction with, “Howdy.” Hailing from Oklahoma, Taylor Williams is a cowboy who was riding horses before he could walk. But that won’t stop him from seeking out a city girl — as long as she has a “big booty.”
