Warning: This post contains spoilers for the season 7 finale of Love Island USA.
The new winner of Love Island USA has been crowned.
On Sunday, July 13, season 7 of the hit Peacock series came to an end and the winner was announced by host Ariana Madix.
In the dramatic conclusion, it was revealed Amaya Espinal and Bryan Arenales received the most votes and were named season 7 winners. Nic Vansteenberghe and Olandria Carthen were the runners-up, Huda Mustafa and Chris Seeley came in third place and Iris Kendall and Pepe Garcia-Gonzalez came in fourth.
When it came down to decide who got the $100,000 cash prize, Bryan let Amaya pick the first envelope from Madix, which contained $0. After Bryan opened the $100,000 envelope, he agreed to split the cash prize evenly with Amaya.
To celebrate, Amaya got the "zoomies" one last time, as Madix called it, and then the entire cast jumped in the pool to mark the final night of their unforgettable summer in Fiji.
"I feel like I'm flying in the sky right now. To feel so seen and validated and for people to see how powerful our connection is... And like, boy, was this a ride, here on Love Island. But this, man, I would do this ride all over again if it led me to him," Amaya, 25, said after she and Bryan, 28, were named the winners.
"This is just a message to everyone out there who's misunderstood: nobody should ever be tamed and that there's always someone out there for you who's going to love you for you and appreciate all of your craziness," she continued. "Don't ever settle for nobody."
Bryan also reflected on the journey he's had in the Fiji villa since joining in Casa Amor, where he initially coupled up with Andreina Santos. "I don't even know how to put it into words. Meeting Amaya here turned my experience around ridiculously. I'm so thankful to meet this person. I would do this experience a hundred times over," he said. "It feels surreal."
When Madix asked how Nic and Olandria felt about being runners-up, Nic, 24, didn't hesitate to gush over his fellow Islander, who he said is the "kindest, most genuine" person.
"I think she was really misunderstood by a lot of people and for Bryan to come in here at Casa and to be able to understand this beautiful woman, like I'm getting actual goosebumps, cause I'm so happy for this genuine connection," Nic said. "And I don't think there's anybody else that deserves that first place."
Olandria agreed with everything Nic had said, and then the final two couples embraced.
On the Friday, July 11 episode, the villa was shocked when the fans sent Ace and Chelley, the only other closed-off couple, packing.
"We went through it all, had so much fun with it, and then in the end, we get to walk out together," Chelley told PEOPLE of the dumping, which she and Ace both called "bittersweet."
"So it's one of those moments of like happiness where it's like 'Okay at the end we still won. We have each other'" she said. "We're just very happy that we have one another. We're so happy with the friends that we made on the inside. So it doesn't end here. The journey still continues."
After winning the $100,000 prize last July, Serena and Kordell went on to make things official -- and are still going strong.
Before season 7 kicked off, Kordell, 22, told PEOPLE his advice for the new batch of Islanders.
"Just be comfortable with yourself, honestly. That's literally it. Just be you. Be the best you, you can be," he said. "You don't have to put on the front for anybody. They'll love you for you. So, don't try to hide a few things, of what you think people may not like, because they might like it."
He added, "Don't get in your head, trying to create this image for the audience. Just be you."
