How Ariana Madix’s Boyfriend Feels About Love Island USA’s Austin Flirting With Her
A metaphor hates to see Amaya “Papaya” Espinal coming.
While the Love Island USA contestant knows that sometimes she’s not the book that someone should be reading, America is ready to turn the pages. After all, her words of wisdom and off-key songs throughout season seven earned her a devoted fan base.
In fact, Googling her name even spotlights the lyrics to her summer anthem. “I never said I was perfect. I never said I didn’t have any flaws,” reads the search engine’s ticker tape message. “But at least I’m pretty, and at least I’m a little funny, and at least I’m my own best friend.”
It’s the motto she—and let’s be honest, all of us—needed after unsuccessful relationships with Ace Greene, Austin Shepard and Zak Srakaew. But now coupled up with Bryan Arenales, she is ready to spread her wings.
“I feel like I can fly like the pigeons back in New York City, but I’ll be a really pretty, clean pigeon, but I feel free,” she gushed in the confessional after their makeout session during the July 7 episode. “Your girl’s happy and she feels like she can be herself around this man and she gets her smooches.”
