The Love Island All Stars villa has received a dramatic international shake-up with the arrival of six American bombshells in a Casa Amor-style twist. Among the new arrivals is Kyra Lizama, a fan-favourite contestant from the US version of the hit reality dating show, who is now looking for love with a British accent.
Who Is Kyra Lizama?
Kyra Lizama is a 28-year-old reality television personality originally from Honolulu, Hawaii. She first found fame as a contestant on the third series of Love Island USA in 2021, where she entered the villa on Day 1 and made an impressive journey to the final, ultimately finishing as runner-up alongside her then-partner, Will Moncada.
Kyra's Love Island USA Journey
During her original stint on Love Island USA Season 3, Kyra captivated audiences with her genuine search for connection. She remained coupled with Will Moncada throughout the entire season, navigating the various challenges and recouplings to reach the final day. Their relationship appeared strong enough to secure them the runner-up position on Day 40 of the competition.
The Split From Will Moncada
Despite their successful run on the show, Kyra and Will's romance did not last beyond the villa. Just three months after filming concluded, Kyra took to her Instagram story to announce their separation. In her statement, she explained she had been taking time for herself before making the news public, acknowledging the support of Love Island fans.
Will subsequently shared his own statement, expressing gratitude for having met Kyra while confirming their relationship had unfortunately not worked out. The split marked the end of what viewers had hoped would be a lasting love story from the reality series.
Kyra's Return To Love Island
Now, at 28, Kyra has returned to the Love Island franchise, joining the UK's All Stars edition for 2026. She enters with optimism, stating: "From first-hand experience, I know that Love Island works. I know the Love Island Gods can bring me love as I did find love the first time in the US. I love a good accent. Everyone there is my type!"
Her appearance represents a significant crossover moment, bringing an American perspective to the British villa as she searches for her perfect gentleman. Fans of both versions will be watching closely to see if her second attempt at finding love on television proves more successful than her first.
Social Media Presence
Kyra maintains an active presence on Instagram under the handle @kyralizama, where she shares glimpses of her life and connects with her growing fanbase following her reality TV appearances.
