Bryan Arenales Shares How He Used His Love Island USA Winnings
Love Island USA’s Bryan Arenales could hardly contain his excitement about splurging on a special item following his victory with Amaya Espinal in season 7 of the hit dating series.
During a “Never Have I Ever” game with fellow cast members Amaya, 25, Nic Vansteenberghe, and Olandria Carthen in the episode aired on Wednesday, August 13, of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, Bryan, 28, disclosed his purchase with the winnings from Love Island.
When host Andy Cohen asked, “Never have I ever splurged on something significant with my Love Island earnings,” Bryan took a sip of his drink. Cohen then inquired about what Bryan bought.
“My first Rolex!” exclaimed the season 7 champion, proudly displaying the watch on his wrist.
Though he only briefly showcased his shining accessory, Moses The Jeweler, a retailer based in New York City, uploaded a video on TikTok in July, highlighting their visit.
In this clip, Moses presented two nearly identical watches, both featuring gold-and-silver bands and a black face. He suggested Bryan opt for the 2024 model to save some money, instead of the 2025 design, which is priced at $19,000.
Initially, Moses offered the 2024 model at $17,800, but after some haggling, he settled on a price of $17,500 for the Love Island star.

While shopping, Bryan reflected on a cherished memory with his father, who had pointed out a watch in Moses’ store. “I told my dad, ‘That’s the watch I want.’” He added, “My dad replied, ‘Soon.’” After winning $50,000 on the show, Bryan knew it was time to fulfill that dream.
Bryan and Amaya, 25, originally connected while filming season 7. They eventually won and decided to split the prize money, both taking home $50,000. The pair chose to pursue their relationship outside the Fiji villa and into the real world.
