Summary

  • Leah found her match in Miguel on Love Island USA season 6, overcoming drama with other Islanders.
  • Miguel and Leah quickly connected, realizing they were more similar than different in the villa.
  • While not confirmed, Leah and Miguel seem to still be together post-show, handling long-distance well.

Love Island USA season 6, had a tough time in the villa prior to Miguel’s first appearance. While she’d matched up with other Islanders, the drama wasn’t working out in her favor throughout the beginning of the season, and she appeared to be worried she was on the verge of being unceremoniously dumped from Love Island USA.

After Leah’s messy match-up with Love Island USA season 5 returnee Rob Rausch, her time in the villa was spent trying out different matches to see if anything else would stick before Miguel arrived. While Miguel, who hails from London and surprised the group as another Brit coming into the villa after Aaron Evans, was attracted to Leah quickly, both were nervous about making a match with someone they weren’t totally sure about. Even so, the hilarious Islanders paired up and began to get to know each other, quickly realizing that they were far more similar than they were different.

Although Leah ultimately wound up with Miguel at the end of Love Island USA season 6, her journey began in a situation with Rob that left her struggling to trust anyone in the villa. Leah and Rob connected quickly after entering the villa, but were only together for a few days before he was stolen by Liv Walker. Maneuvering behind Liv’s back, Rob and Leah carried on building their connection in secret, but when Andrea Carmona entered the villa, Rob found himself interested. She took the rejection hard, and the pair had some messy moments before agreeing to move on.
