Here’s who Love Island USA’s Gabriel Vasconcelos is, as his role was changed last-minute
He suddenly vanished from the promos
There was drama involving Gabriel Vasconcelos before Love Island even started. Basically, Gabriel was announced as part of the cast. However, no intro video about him was posted on Love Island USA’s Insta, and you couldn’t vote for him on the app. Ooh, mysterious.
Rumours circulated that he’d been axed from the show. However, it now seems that the producers switched up Gabriel’s role from an OG Islander to a bombshell. After another Islander called Vasana Montgomery was cut from the show at the eleventh hour, the numbers of men and women were uneven. Making Gabriel a bombshell sorts out this hitch.
So, who even is this Gabriel guy? What should we expect from the first male bombshell on Love Island this year? Here’s all you need to know.
Gabriel is an actual model
Gabriel from Love Island is 26 years old. He hails from Rio de Janerio, but now splits his time between there and Miami. Gabriel also travels a lot for work.

He’s also a DJ?!
Gabriel seems to worked as a DJ in Miami. You can listen to his music on SoundCloud, if you feel so inclined.
