Meet Love Island USA’s first male bombshell of the season, ‘Tarzan’ Tyler
A hot new bombshell enters the villa!
Islander Tyler infiltrates “Love Island USA” on Friday — and Page Six has an exclusive first look at the long-haired hottie’s arrival.
At the start of a new day, the hard-bodied hunk greets the Islanders while chilling by the pool, leaving many of the women speechless.
Deb, who is excited about a new romantic prospect, gushes in a confessional, “How did the ‘Love Island’ gods know exactly what I needed?”
The blonde beauty is currently single after her first partner, Jesse, recently re-coupled with newcomer Valerie.
“It’s like one of those grow-a-boyfriends, where you, like, get him at the store, you put him under water and it grows,” she adds.
“That’s what happened. Maybe manifestation really works.”
Deb isn’t the only girl in the villa charmed by Tyler’s good looks — and the boys are taking notice.
At one point, Zeta — who seems happily coupled up with Timmy — puts her hands on the new boy’s sculpted shoulder. “I just wanted to cop a feel!” she admits.
“OK, that’s a bombshell right there!” enthuses Mady, who has already formed a solid connection with Andy.
Understandably, Andy seems a tad threatened by Tyler’s presence.
“There’s this guy with really nice hair. I’m, like, ‘Is he gonna come take my girl?’” the self-proclaimed “mama’s boy” tells the camera. “Game on, I guess.”
With his lengthy locks and fit physique, one Islander can’t help but note Tyler’s resemblance to an iconic fictional character.
“You look like Tarzan!” Jesse tells him, to which a flattered Tyler responds, “Appreciate that, man.”
“Tarzan” Tyler proceeds to swing through the villa, unapologetically kissing multiple women during a steamy outdoor game.
Jesse — who, even after pursuing Valerie, still has feelings for his original pick, Deb — expresses fears that Tyler might steal one of his love interests away.
“We got to step up our game, man. You know, Tyler’s into Deb and Val, so if I don’t make a decision here soon, he’s definitely going to swoop up on me,” he says in a confessional. “I don’t want him to choose for me.”
But Jesse seems to still be top of mind for both Deb and Valerie. In a one-on-one chat, the ladies take a moment to break down their apparent overlap with the handsome courier.
“You know what threw me off a little bit was you said that you and him have a strong connection. And he told me that he and I also do and then Zeta was telling me that he ranks me as his No. 1,” Deb tells Valerie.
The stunning Costa Rica native then reveals that Jesse has been feeding her similar lines.
“He told me he ranked me as his No. 1,” she says. “He told me, like, if there was to be a re-coupling, like, ‘Would you actually pick me?’ And he was like, ‘Yes, I would.’”
Valerie also tells Deb that Jesse told her he was “physically attracted” to her and “could learn so much” from her as she was “such a smart” person.
“That’s interesting because Zeta told me he literally said the exact thing about me,” Deb replies.
A perturbed Valerie then asks, “OK, if he’s telling you the same thing he’s telling me, it’s like, ‘OK, how do we know which is true?’”
No matter if they end up with Jesse or Tyler, the latter man seems intent on snatching someone’s woman.
“I’m super ready to get into the villa. The biggest advantage I have is, I mean, look at me,” he boasted in a previous sneak peek. “I look good, I smell good, I move different and I go for the girl that has a boyfriend.”
Added Tyler, “More often than not, the boyfriend’s an ex-boyfriend by the end of the night.”
“Love Island USA” — hosted by Sarah Hyland — is available to stream on Peacock. New episodes drop Tuesday through Sunday at 9 p.m. ET.
