Bryan Arenales would like your attention for a moment.
Late on Wednesday, the Love Island USA season 7 winner broke his silence after he and Amaya Espinal ended their whirlwind reality television romance.
This marked the first time Bryan spoke out in public about what transpired.

We both gained clarity that we are on different paths right now. I am thankful for the time we have spent together, and I wish her nothing but the best moving forward.”
Does the 28-year-old have any regrets? Nope!
“I am thankful for the time we have spent together,” he said. “And I wish her nothing but the best moving forward.”

That’s always a tell these days, you know?
Shortly after, during the pre-taped special, Arenales cleared up cheating rumors that were prompted by a video of him appearing to party with other women.
“They’re trying to just throw any hate my way,” he said during the reunion episode. “And within the cheating video, the hosting — I got paid to be there. I used to bartend back in the day. I had a lapse of judgment, and we’ve talked about it.”
Earlier today, meanwhile, Espinal also confirmed the break-up.

“After leaving the villa, it became very clear that we were on two different journeys. Our visions didn’t align and relationships are supposed to be a team sport. You don’t have to drink the whole sea to know it’s salty.”
Sounds profound. And mostly amicable.
“I truly wish him the best,” Espinal emphasized online.
