Well, that was speedy
Erm, so two reality TV stars are seemingly going public with their romance this August. Despite just enduring a serious rollercoaster of emotions on Love Island USA, Huda Mustafa appears to be stepping out with a new boo – and things seem pretty established. Huda and her man attended a premiere of Weapons in LA on July 31. Not only were these two holding hands as a symbol of their unity, but they were also wearing matching black outfits, too.
Louis Russell ‘snogs’ Celebs Go Dating co-star – May 2025
The new man Huda is rumoured to be dating is reality TV star Louis Russell.
Louis was a contestant on Too Hot To Handle, Perfect Match, and Battle Camp. And, he’s also set to appear in a new series of Channel 4 show, Celebs Go Dating, in the UK.
During Celebs Go Dating series 14, which was filmed back in May 2025, Louis was romantically linked to Love Island star Olivia Hawkins.
The two, per The Sun, “were spotted snogging” during filming.
Olivia and Kelechi ‘Kelz’ Dyke – early June 2025
Just weeks after Olivia and Louis were said to have found a connection on Celebs Go Dating, she was rumoured to have moved on with someone else.
Per Daily Mail, Olivia and Louis hit it off when Celebs Go Dating filming first started. But, by June, “she’d been on a series of dates with boxer Kelechi ‘Kelz’ Dyke, which have been filmed for the show.”
Huda had a wild time on Love Island USA – mid June 2025
After Louis’ Celebs Go Dating journey began, Huda kicked off her own summer of love in early June.
It seems the tides have totally changed for Huda since she made her reality TV debut. She went through a whole load of drama with Jeremiah Brown during Love Island USA season seven.
After Jeremiah was booted from the villa, Huda and Chris Seeley seemed to hit it off. But there were some red flags from the very start.
Huda left Love Island single – July 13 2025
In a first for the show, Huda and Chris rounded off their time during the finale by parting ways?! The two made Love Island USA history, but not for a romantic reason we’d all hoped for.
The finale aired on July 13 and was followed by Huda doing all kinds of interviews and adorably being reunited with her daughter.

By mid-July, Huda was seemingly single, but it was a matter of days before she and “Netflix’s golden boy,” Louis Russell, were spotted together.
Huda and Louis were snapped walking together along the street, which sparked initial dating rumours.
Louis and Huda’s red carpet moment – July 31
Less than three weeks after Love Island USA wrapped, Huda then stepped out with Louis – but this time they were on the red carpet.
Despite Louis being romantically linked to Olivia Hawkins in May, and Huda having a Love Island USA rendesvouz in June and July, the two are now looking like an item.
Too Hot To Handle alum Louis may have spoiled the ending of series 14 for a lot of people. But many are here for his romance with Huda!
