Amaya Espinal Celebrates NYC Homecoming: ‘I Feel Free Lik…

Amaya Espinal had a grand return to New York City just weeks after winning season seven of Love Island.

On Friday night (July 25), Espinal (also known as Amaya Papaya) hit the town after spending months in the villa, where she and Bryan Arenales won the hit dating competition. Along with five of her closest friends, the 25-year-old hit Asian fusion eatery Sei Less, where she was served entrees from an honorary “Amaya Papaya” menu. Courses included rock shrimp, chicken satay, spicy tuna crispy rice, while Espinal and her guests also sipped lemon drop martinis.

Espinal documented the fun night out, joking on her Instagram Stories that she felt “free like a pigeon” upon touching down in the Big Apple. The reality television personality snapped pictures with Sei Less co-founder Ivi Shano throughout the evening and danced with New York Knicks dancers.

Although Espinal and Arenales have been somewhat coy about their current relationship status, the Love Island stars have made their press rounds since winning earlier this month. Among Espinal’s most memorable interviews was on podcast Call Her Daddy, where she dished on having once gotten busy in a Burger Ki…er, CVS bathroom.
