Amaya Espinal, a star from “Love Island USA,” was hospitalized over the weekend for emergency surgery after experiencing severe abdominal pain. The incident occurred in Los Angeles, where she was taken to a local hospital, as reported by TMZ on October 11, 2023. Sources indicate that Espinal is currently in stable condition and is recovering from the procedure.
Details regarding the specific nature of her medical condition have not been disclosed. Representatives for Espinal did not respond to inquiries from Page Six for further information. The 26-year-old reality star has been in Los Angeles working on “Beyond the Villa,” a spinoff series of “Love Island,” but was reportedly not filming when her symptoms worsened.
Despite her health issues, she has remained active on social media, sharing pre-recorded content for beauty brands. On October 9, 2023, she posted several glamorous photos on Instagram, showcasing her freshly dyed cherry red hair and a striking black dress. The images also included moments with friends and a playful shot of her in a bikini holding a basketball.
Espinal gained fame during Season 7 of “Love Island,” which premiered in June 2023. She emerged victorious alongside her then-partner, Bryan Arenales. However, the couple announced their breakup just a month after the season finale, which aired in August. Espinal confirmed the split through an Instagram Story, stating, “My papayas—Bryan and I are no longer together. After leaving the villa, it became very clear that we were on two different journeys.”
As fans await more updates on her recovery, Espinal’s recent social media activity indicates she is maintaining a positive public presence despite her health challenges.
