Love Island USA’s Huda Mustafa, Too Hot To Handle’s Louis Russell Break Up After Nearly 9 Months Together
The pair said they remain friends and asked for privacy as Mustafa focuses on motherhood and music while Russell pursues future endeavors.
- Love Island USA alum Huda Mustafa and Perfect Match star Louis Russell announced they have ended their relationship on Wednesday, May 20 in a joint statement to TMZ after dating for nearly nine months.
- Mustafa and Russell were first linked in July 2025 shortly after she left the Love Island USA villa, and they documented their romance on social media, which reportedly caused friction with her previous castmates.
- Legal disputes involving Russell's ex-girlfriend, Nicole Olivera, complicated their relationship; Olivera obtained a temporary restraining order in March after alleging Mustafa made "terrifying and extremely mentally unstable threats" toward her and Luka-Kai.
- Both parties are prioritizing their parental responsibilities and personal goals, with the statement noting they "remain friends and continue to have the utmost respect and love for one another."
- Mustafa is shifting focus to her music career, releasing her first song on Friday, May 22, while Russell concentrates on fatherhood responsibilities for his 12-month-old son, Luka-Kai.
