Love Island USA‘s narrator, Iain Stirling, found a way to poke fun at Jen Terry and Gabriel Vasconcelos having sex in front of the other couples — and America.
During the Tuesday, June 16, episode of the hit Peacock series, Jen and Gabriel were seen packing on the PDA before he pulled the covers over them in bed. The night cameras hinted that Jen and Gabriel had sex, which they confirmed the next morning — as did Stirling.
“Last night Gabriel and Jen were up until dawn doing sudoku,” he said. “Jen must be really good at them because she kept yelling, ‘Harder! Harder!’”
Later in the episode, the couples were encouraged to write letters to each other in an effort to recouple. Luckily, Jen and Gabriel both wrote romantic notes to one another as a way to show their devotion to their connection.
Love Island USA is coming off a record-breaking moment with season 7 bringing in 18.4 billion streaming minutes, making it the most-watched original season of television on the platform.
“[This season] there’s a lot more emphasis put on the journey as opposed to the result,” Stirling told Us Weekly exclusively in July 2025. ”I think it’s about the journey of finding someone and how you grow as a person by doing that. Whereas five or six years ago, you had, like, proper millennials in there. There was that more traditional approach to dating.”
While some fans questioned the love journeys, Stirling was on board with the Islanders taking a different approach.
“The end goal [was] to be with someone and you have this contract with someone you’re in a relationship with to honor that person and to honor that relationship,” he noted. “I think now there’s a lot more people who make contracts with themselves to have the journey that they want and the experience they’re after.”
He added, “These people are predominantly speaking in their early 20s. If you can’t be selfish dating then — then when can you? Especially people from my generation, they weren’t selfish in their 20s and maybe did not want to upset people. Then they get to sort of 30 to 40 and get divorced and go insane. Maybe it’s the healthier way to do it.”
New episodes of Love Island USA are released six days a week — except for Wednesdays — on Peacock.
