Love Island USA’s Pepe gives Huda ‘side-eye’ as fans cringe over ‘uncomfortable’ blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment

LOVE Island USA star Pepe gave Huda the ‘side-eye’ making fans cringe over the ‘uncomfortable’ blink-and-you’ll miss it moment. 

Love Island USA's season 7 finale took place on Sunday, July 13, as Olandria Carthen and Nic Vansteenberghe, Huda Mustafa and Chris Seeley, Iris Kendall and Pepe Garcia, and Amaya Espinal and Bryan Arenales competed for the win.

The episode kicked off with each of the four couples going on romantic dates to close out the dramatic season.

Later on, host Ariana Madix announced Amaya, 25, and Bryan, 28, as the season 7 winners.

Olandria, 27, and Nic, 24, came in second place.

Coming in third place was Huda, 24, and Chris, 27, while Iris, 25, and Pepe, 27, finished in fourth.

But fans noticed that, while waiting for Ariana Madix to announce the winners, the camera panned to Pepe kissing Iris on the head. 

Huda then asks him, "One for Huda?" leading Pepe to give a hysterical side eye. 

Fans immediately took to the comments after the playful interaction, as one person wrote: “PEPE’S SIDE EYE AFTER IRIS ASKED “one for huda?” LMAO” 

A second penned: “One for Huda?” PEPE’S FACEEE.” 

A third person said: “huda just made pepe so uncomfortable,” and a fourth added: “Pepe’s face when Huda asked if he wanted to give her a kiss too— he’s rethinking his whole life rn.”

Someone else wrote: “huda just made pepe so uncomfortable,” followed by several laughing emojis. 

During the series finale, when it came time for the $100,000 prize, Amaya picked first and opened an envelope revealing $0.

Bryan decided to split the money with Amaya.
