About Bryce Dettloff
Nobody on Love Island USA Season 8 has a job history quite like Bryce Alakai Dettloff's. The Tab counted six careers he has claimed on and off the Peacock series, which was filmed in Fiji and hosted by Ariana Madix. He started modeling as a teenager for brands including Calvin Klein, DKNY, and Stuart Weitzman — his mid-2010s Tumblr modeling photos resurfaced online after the premiere, as E! News covered. He DJs and produces music, performing in Los Angeles and Miami. He studied acting in New York, with minor screen credits including HBO's The Other Two. He's also described doing handyman work and electrical work on garbage trucks.
Born June 29, 1996, in Hawaii and raised largely in Las Vegas, Bryce now lives in Los Angeles and turned 30 during the season. He entered the villa on Day 1 and coupled up with Trinity Tatum, a 22-year-old model and makeup artist from Newport News, Virginia, on the first night. They never split through the season's recouplings.
Casa Amor didn't move him. Of the new bombshells, he told a fellow islander: 'These girls are all beautiful ... but [they're] not her.'
After the villas reunited, Bryce asked Trinity to be his girlfriend on a boat date on June 29 — his 30th birthday — making them Season 8's first official couple. Fans call them 'Brinity,' the pair jokes constantly about their seven-year age gap, and Season 6 alum Kaylor Martin has called them a lock to win.
The post-family-visit America's vote sent Bryce and Trinity into the final four with Aniya and Carl, Melanie and Sincere, and Kayda and Zach. The live finale lands Sunday, July 12, 2026, when Ariana Madix names America's favorite couple and hands out the $100,000 prize.
