Once coupled with Zak, Amaya began exploring her growing connection with Bryan. In a moment that quickly went viral, Amaya giggled, "I'm getting all kitty and jiggly about it, which is good," describing her bubbly excitement.
Chemistry, Support, and a Sweet Kiss
Their bond grew stronger when Bryan defended Amaya during a heated villa moment. Critics called her "too emotional," but Bryan reassured her that her personality was beautiful just the way it is.
