How to Watch
The Love Island USA Season 8 reunion premieres exclusively on Peacock on Monday, August 31 at 9 p.m. ET.
The Season 8 winners spoke with People about their connection now that they've returned home, and Bryce and Trinity didn't have any problem envisioning their lives beyond the Villa. After weeks with no contact with the real world, the couple is adjusting to the newfound fame as most Love Island winners do — by supporting each other through each exciting new step. And "Brinity" isn't just navigating the spotlight or meteoric fame, but the challenges any couple would face after falling in love on a trip to Fiji.
While Bryce is based in Los Angeles, Trinity is from Virginia, leading the couple to contemplate whether they'll have to date long-distance. But as they open up about their post-Villa plans, one thing is for certain: Brinity is in it for the long haul.
"Step by step, it’d be her coming out here," Bryce told People of their plans. "Then, when she gets adjusted and comfortable, eventually moving in together."
"I definitely want that," Trinity agreed. "Honestly, I really just want to be where he is."

Trinity wants to be "wherever Bryce is" after Love Island USA Season 8
Love Island USA fans have been obsessing over the Islanders' return to social media, clinging to any post-Villa update, from the Season 8 cast. During a virtual appearance on TODAY's July 15 episode, Bryce and Trinity chatted about their return to the real world after their lengthy journey in Fiji. Trinity was excited to explore Los Angeles for the first time alongside her new boyfriend, telling TODAY's Craig Melvin, "I definitely wanna be wherever Bryce is, that's for sure."
After spending weeks stuck at the hip, Bryce and Trinity are experiencing some separation anxiety. The last time that happened was Casa Amor, so the jitters are understandable. "I don't like being away from him, I get, like, a little separation anxiety" Trinity confessed. "So I definitely want to kind of explore L.A. more and see how I like it. But Virginia, they're not seeing me for too long. I'm not gonna be there for too long."
"It's crazy, it's something we weren't anticipating, just how much our connection has affected us outside [the Villa]..." Bryce added. "You spend 24 hours with each other every day for like, almost 50 days straight, you know? You got to be around, and it's an emotional thing, the whole show. There's a lot of intensity, there's a lot of anxiety, there's a lot of pressure."
Bryce sweetly concluded, "And like, one thing that brings us closer, that comfort in those moments that we look at each other... I can confide in her and feel safe."
