In a dramatic transatlantic twist that has set tongues wagging across the nation, Love Island All Stars 2026 has welcomed six American bombshells to the competition. The newcomers - Kyra Lizama, Sher Suarez, Imani Wheeler, Carrington Rodriguez, Zac Woodworth, and Yamen Sanders - have entered a separate villa, aptly named 'Villa USA', situated just a stone's throw from the main British villa.
A Casa Amor-Style Stateside Invasion
In a move reminiscent of the iconic Casa Amor format, the producers have taken the All Stars series international. The American Islanders, all veterans of the US version of the show, have arrived with clear intentions: to find love among the British cast. They wasted no time in making their presence felt, immediately inviting British stars including Millie Court, Whitney Adebayo, and Tommy Bradley over for a night of raunchy beer pong and passionate kisses.

The free-spirited Yamen explained he wouldn't relocate to the UK full-time for a relationship, preferring a more fluid arrangement. "The way I live my life, it’s so fluid, I’m in different places all the time. So I’d probably want us to split the time. And even spend some months in Bali, Japan, Dubai or something," he said.
Imani Wheeler

Imani plans to stay true to herself, declaring, "Same icon but more iconic. The same me, be true to myself…and this time as a red head."

Kyra expressed confidence in the Love Island process, stating, "From first hand experience, I know that Love Island works. I know the Love Island Gods can bring me love as I did find love the first time in the US. I love a good accent. Everyone there is my type!"
Sher Suarez

Sher revealed she is open to relocating, telling ITV, "Get me out of here! Or we could do back and forth. But I can give Miami up for a little bit."
