A hilarious scene from Love Island USA Season 7, Episode 12, has taken over the internet—thanks to a now-iconic phrase: “I’m a mommy.” It started when contestant Huda Mustafa chose to open up to fellow islander Nic Vansteenberghe, revealing that she’s a single mother.
Instead of plainly saying she has a child, Huda simply told Nic, “I’m a mommy.” Nic’s confused reaction instantly made the moment unforgettable. “Mommy?” he repeated, clearly puzzled. He followed up with “Mamacita?” and then hilariously asked, “Mom of what? A dog?”
To which Huda laughed and clarified, “I have a daughter… like a human child.”
This comical exchange was shared by the official Love Island USA TikTok account, and within days, it exploded across the internet.
Don't you mean Mamacita's Lil Meatball, Nic? ???????? #LoveIslandUSA pic.twitter.com/3SHtxd54Pa
