With The Challenge: USA in the midst of its inaugural season, fans are excitedly watching former reality tv stars duke it out for the title in the CBS competition. Four of these competitors—Cashay Proudfoot, Melvin "Cinco" Holland Jr., Javonny Vega, and Shannon St. Clair—first starred in the third season of the USA version of Love Island.
With the appearance of these familiar faces, Love Island fans have been wondering how the rest of the season 3 cast are faring a year after their time in the villa. While none of the top ten finishers are among those on The Challenge: USA, they have definitely been busy with their own endeavors since their time on the show.
Andre Brunelli
Brazilian-American Andre Brunelli was one of the final additions to the villa, entering the competition on Day 30. While he immediately coupled up with Trina and stayed with her to the end, he was only able to stay just over a week before being voted off by his fellow contestants.
Despite his short stay on Love Island, Brunelli has been able to be pretty successful outside of the reality tv world. He is currently working as a model for Next Models (via meaww.com), and recently, had a paid partnership take off with the vitamin supplement company Qunol Gummies (confirmed via Instagram).
Trina Njoroge
A day one resident of the villa, Trina Njoroge bounced around - even having one of the worst couplings of season 3 - before settling in a couple with Cinco (until his elimination by the girls on day 25). Njoroge then coupled up with Andre, where they were voted out by the other couples on day 38.
Since her time on Love Island, Njoroge has decided to keep with the reality tv gig. She was in the inaugural season of All Star Shore this summer, and was recently spotted at the VMAs with the rest of her cast from the Jersey Shore successor.
Charlie Lynch
Joining the cast at the villa on day 19, Houstonian Charlie Lynch originally coupled up with Cashay, before leaving her for Alana the very next week. He and Alana were able to make it through to the finals, where they placed last out of the four couples that made it to day 40.
A year after his time on Love Island, Lynch and fellow competitor Trina Njoroge have stayed in contect. The two have appeared in a number of paid promos together in suggestive contexts, leading fans to speculate on a potential relationship between the two.
Alana Paolucci
New Yorker Alana Paolucci joined the cast of season 3 of Love Island on day 26, coupling up with Charlie for the duration of her stay. The two were able to survive a brush with elimination in week five and make it to the finals, where they finished fourth.
Since her time on Love Island, Paolucci has honed her work as a model, recently doing some work for FashionNova's plus-size line. She was also the creative and executive director for the music video of artist and producer Naliya's latest single, "Trippin'."
Jeremy Hershberg
A New Yorker and day one resident of the villa, it took Jeremy Hershberg a while to find his match, finally choosing Bailey on day 32. He and Bailey would narrowly escape elimination later that week and make it to the finals, where they ultimately placed third.
A year after his third place finish on Love Island, Hershberg is following his love of film and running a cinematic-themed Instagram page called Cinemaphoric. He also recently worked on an ad campaign for the credit advice company ScoreNavigator.
Bailey Marshall
A late entrant to the villa, arriving on day 26, Oregonian Bailey Marshall coupled up with Jeremy and never looked back, staying with him all the way to the final episode. Unfortunately, they were not able to grab first, finishing third out of the four final couples.
While it appears by the looks of this tik tok that Bailey and Jeremy are no longer together a year after Love Island season 3, she is thriving nonetheless. She is currently doing some modeling work for the global fashion brand Showpo.
Will Moncada
Entering the villa in Hawaii on day one, Will Moncada was single after the first day, but quickly coupled with Kyra after that and never looked back (even having some of the funniest non-romantic moments of the season). The two stayed together all the way to the finals, where they ultimately placed second.
Though they broke up a mere three months after the ending of season 3 of Love Island, fans are speculating that Moncada and Kyra might have gotten back together after their couple-like actions in June. Outside of his potential relationship, Moncada has been working on his photography skills, highlighting his favorite shots on his The Will Eye Instagram account.
Kyra Lizama
A day one resident of Love Island season 3, Kyra Lizama briefly coupled with Korey before getting together with Will for the remainder of her time on the show. The two would make it to the finals, just missing out on the win.
A year after her time on the island and amid speculation of her and Will getting back together, Lizama has been chronicling her travels on Tik Tok. She also recently announced a collaboration with jewelry company The Christy F Collection.
Olivia Kaiser
One of the original ten islanders, Olivia Kaiser has a tumultuous ride at the villa, narrowly escaping elimination twice. She ultimately ended up coupling with Korey on day 32, a move that ultimately won her season 3 of Love Island as Korey chose to split the winnings with her.
After her time on Love Island, Olivia and Korey mutually broke off their relationship (via Instagram), choosing instead to simply remain friends. Olivia currently working as a cosmetologist in Arizona, running her own beauty company Livbeautifullyaz.
Korey Gandy
The fan favorite and day one resident of the villa on season 3 of Love Island, Virginian Korey Gandy had trouble finding a connection, bouncing between women at each recoupling. He eventually coupled up with Olivia and won it all in the finals, choosing to split the winnings with her.
With the two no longer together, Korey has been focusing on himself and can be frequently found getting a workout in at the gym. He is also running his own clothing business, What The Freak, as well as an exclusive content page through the social platform OnlyFans.
