Felipe Gomes was recently announced as one of the first islanders to appear on Season 4 of Love Island USA, with the premiere just days away. The tv series, a spin-off of Love Island UK, features dozens of singles who must stay connected in order to hopefully win the $100,000 grand prize. When the islanders are not being tested physically and mentally through various challenges, the contestants are cut off from the outside world and can only interact with each other.
While seasons 1-3 of Love Island USA aired on CBS, season 4 is now on a new platform, the streaming channel Peacock. With CBS selling the rights to Love Island in early 2022, Season 4 is expected to feature several changes. In addition to actress Sarah Hyland stepping in as host following Arielle Vandenberg’s exit, Love Island USA Season 4 will also feature more intimate and sexual challenges as the series will not be broadcast on national tv.
Love Island USA Season 4 will premiere with ten original islanders, with more contestants joining as the show continues. Fans have been busy getting to know the incoming islands ahead of the July 19 premiere, with Felipe’s impressive resume gaining particular attention among expectant viewers. Here’s what those looking forward to Season 4 of Love Island USA should know about Felipe before he makes his reality TV debut.

The international model prefers brunettes and thin women; however, he admitted that it was difficult to put such things into words. It seems that when Felipe sees someone who meets all the criteria, he knows she’s the girl he wants. Another important factor for Felipe is sexual compatibility between two partners, which he says makes up 95% of a relationship. The reality star claimed that he usually gets the girl he wants, and he certainly took that confidence with him when he entered ‘Love Island Season 4.
Despite the emphasis on the physical side of the relationship, Felipe does not underestimate the importance of a deep and meaningful bond. Like most contestants, he entered the show hoping to find a love connection for himself, saying he doesn’t fall in love often or easily and likes honest women. Given what we know about Felipe, his ‘Love Island’ journey is one that we highly recommend you try.
