Fresh off her Season 7 win on ‘Love Island USA,’ fan favorite Amaya Espinal is making big moves — she’s officially signed with Gersh and Untitled Entertainment for representation.
Amaya, affectionately known to fans as ‘‘Amaya Papaya,” captured hearts with her positivity, warmth, and unshakable authenticity. Entering the Fiji villa as a bombshell on Day 5, she quickly stirred things up, landing in a love triangle with Ace Greene and Chelley Bissainthe. But it was her connection with Bryan Arenales, and his heartfelt support during the ‘Stand on Business’ challenge, that turned the tide and eventually led them to a $100,000 win.
The challenge became a defining moment, showing viewers that Amaya was there for all the right reasons. Her emotional honesty resonated, especially when Bryan defended her and highlighted her loving nature and shared cultural background.
Since her win, Amaya has seen her popularity explode online. Indeed, she gained over 7.5 million followers across TikTok and Instagram. Notably, without a social media team running her accounts during filming.
With ‘Love Island USA’ topping the streaming charts and Amaya’s own star on the rise, signing with top-tier reps feels like just the beginning for this breakout reality royal.
