Season 7 of Love Island USA took a wild turn after America voted for Jeremiah to couple up with new islander Iris. While fans were still processing the surprise recoupling, Huda’s intense reaction quickly became the talk of the villa — and the internet.
Following the public vote, Huda broke down emotionally, crying and expressing anger toward Jeremiah. She didn’t hold back, calling him names and venting her frustration openly. The other islanders were taken aback, and fans questioned whether her emotional outburst pushed Jeremiah away for good.
After the dramatic recoupling, Jeremiah chose not to comfort or check on Huda. This move shocked some of his fellow islanders, but many viewers felt it reflected his growing exhaustion from Huda’s repeated emotional flare-ups throughout the season.
Huda had a history of reacting strongly whenever Jeremiah got close to other contestants. Her frequent confrontations and crying spells may have made Jeremiah feel emotionally cornered.
Even before Iris arrived, Jeremiah made it clear that he wanted to keep his options open. Though he tried to reassure Huda, it’s possible that her unpredictable reactions only solidified his choice to pursue someone new — someone who came with less drama.
Social media and recap blogs are buzzing with theories. A large portion of fans believe Jeremiah saw Iris as a “way out” of a relationship that had become emotionally draining. To them, it wasn’t just attraction — it was self-preservation.
