NEED TO KNOW

  • Corbin Mims, a Miami native, is the latest Bombshell to join Love Island USA
  • Corbin’s limited Instagram comments fueled speculation about his arrival to the dating series
  • His arrival follows early villa shakeups and sparks an unexpected rift between Melanie Moreno and Beatriz Hatz

The third Bombshell has officially entered the Love Island USA season 8 villa!

Corbin Mims, a 22-year-old Miami native, joined during the Islanders' first challenge on the Friday, June 5 episode. But only the girls got a look and a kiss with him, while competing men didn't know who was hiding in the back.

But Corbin's arrival wasn't a surprise to a few fans.

His photo was accidentally uploaded to the Love Island USA app and quickly shared on Reddit, prompting fans to immediately go into detective mode. It didn't take long for them to identify him.

Corbin, who recently graduated from Stetson University, is the co-founder of Caicos Exclusive, according to his LinkedIn profile. His company helps travelers book luxury vacation rentals in Turks and Caicos. His Instagram also suggests he's a big fitness enthusiast.

Corbin entered the villa after several shakeups in its first few days. As of Day 3, Aniya Harvey is coupled up with KC Chandler; Beatriz Hatz is with Gabriel Vasconcelos; Bryce Dettloff is paired with Trinity Tatum; Kayda Bosse is with Zach Georgiou; and Melanie Moreno remains coupled with Sincere Rhea. Meanwhile, Kenzie Annis and Sean Reifel are still navigating the villa as singles.

After Trinity got a moment alone with Corbin, she said in her confessional after meeting him, "No guy is safe." Melanie said she was so shocked she "didn't know what to do" when she saw Corbin.

When it was Kenzie's turn, she was excited to keep a secret from the boys, while Kayda couldn't believe the girls were able to keep the secret during the challenge.

Then, when it was time for Corbin to make his entrance, the girls played it off as a surprise. But their covers were blown when he said, "Ladies, nice to see y'all again. Guys, do you wanna hear from me? Or are the ladies going to tell them?"

He then pulled the girls aside for a group chat, where each confessed they were interested —while simultaneously instilling fear in the men watching from across the villa.

"We're watching our demise," KC said, as Bryce added, "This is painful."

Then Melanie pulled him for a private chat, leaving Sincere confused, and the girls agreed it was strange of her to do so. They also proposed that Kenzie be the next in line for a conversation with Corbin.

Beatriz added that she didn't like how Melanie was "moving," and Trinity added, "I'm confused because at the same time, if that was Sincere, she would be f—ing pissed. What the f–k is going on? She has a really good thing."

Sincere said in his confessional, "I literally went through the seven stages of grief in 25 minutes."

Beatriz then confronted Melanie for her "rude" behavior. But the conversation quickly escalated when Melanie said it was an accident and asked Beatriz to "relax." Trinity tried to diffuse the situation by asking about Melanie's chat with Corbin, but Melanie decided she didn't want to speak with the girls because Beatriz "did too much."

Quickly, Melanie looked for someone to talk to and walked around the villa before Aniya asked to have a chat with her on the couch. But Melanie said, "I'm not going to the couch," before asking for some time alone. "Give me 10," she repeated several times to Aniya.
