If you’re watching Love Island USA Season 7 and not talking about Huda Mustafa, are you even watching the show? The 24-year-old fitness influencer and single mom has become one of the most divisive Islanders in franchise history, and now, the mysterious baby daddy the internet’s been dying to ID is stepping into the chat.
Yes, girlies. Noah Sheline, the father of Huda’s 5-year-old daughter (and the man who’s been quietly lurking behind all the Reddit sleuthing), has finally addressed the drama. And spoiler alert: he sounds like the calmest man alive for someone being name-dropped by half the internet.
“Guys it’s all good, I don’t care she’s on the show, that’s her life,” Noah said in a TikTok Story. “As long as she continues to respect our daughter and myself, why would I have an issue?”
Okay, Noah, Zen Master of Co-Parenting. We see you.
While he isn’t exactly cosigning the reality TV circus, he’s also not throwing shade. In fact, he asked everyone politely (but firmly) to argue about Huda’s behavior elsewhere, not on his page, which is apparently dedicated to “abg etvoldutchmaster and my daughter and our relationship, thanks.” Got it.
Oh, and in case the trolls forgot: Noah’s serving in the military. So while Huda’s getting sunburnt in the villa and feuding with every woman in sight, he’s literally protecting the country and their child. Respect.
Let’s Talk About That Reveal
Huda first revealed her daughter on episode one in an “I’m a hot mom” flex that had Jeremiah doing mental math on camera. “You’re a mom… but you’re 24… how many kids?” he asked. (Sir, please.) The moment instantly became a meme when his bestie Nic chimed in with “Mamacita… Mom to what? Like, a dog?”
The daughter—born in July 2020 when Huda was 19—has become a major plot point this season, and the reveal keeps slapping new Islanders in the face like a reality show jump scare. Last week, Austin Shepard—bless him—was still catching up. “Wait, she has a kid?” he asked, two weeks into the show. Austin, babe… try harder.
Fitness Influencer Turned Firestarter
Before turning Love Island into her personal WWE arena, Huda was a thriving gym queen with a six-figure Instagram following and enough promo codes to pay rent in LA. Her followers skyrocketed after her debut, especially after Megan Thee Stallion hosted a villa-wide twerk-off (yes, you read that correctly).
She’s now sitting at nearly 600K followers and rising every time she breathes heavily at someone. We love an algorithm queen.
But as her follower count rises, so does her controversy. From throwing tantrums over Jeremiah (America literally voted him to couple up with someone else just to shut her down) to calling multiple bombshells “b*tches” on national TV, Huda’s giving early-season villain edit and final-week meltdown all at once.
Pancakegate, Petty Wars & Public Concern
The Huda-Jeremiah relationship? Let’s be real. It’s more toxic than the villa’s protein shake fridge. Fans have had it up to here with the fights, which reached critical levels during the now-iconic “Pancakegate” fiasco (we still don’t know why she was screaming, but she was screaming). Even fellow Islanders look like they’re one eye-roll away from a producers’ intervention.
And listen: Iris Kendall may not be anyone’s favorite contestant, but when Jeremiah recoupled with her, Huda fully imploded. “He’s not even attracted to her,” she screamed across the villa, “he’s just using her!” (Sadly, she may not be wrong. But girl, dignity.)
Other Islanders have voiced concern over Huda’s aggression, both behind her back and to her face. Cierra Ortega even told her flat-out to stop calling Jeremiah names. And fans are noticing: this isn’t just editing. This is a woman unraveling in real-time.
Noah, the Voice of Reason
Meanwhile, baby daddy Noah is over here playing the peacemaker from the sidelines, reminding viewers that online hate affects real people. “She’s still human,” he wrote. “She has a daughter and a life.”
He urged fans not to come for Huda’s parenting or speculate about his relationship with her, adding that their daughter might one day see what’s being said. And let’s be honest, he has a point. Whatever mess she’s serving on screen, it’s still a performance in a deeply edited show. (A messy one, yes, but still.)
He ended with a classy mic drop: “If I wanted the drama, I would give it to you.” Okay, Noah! Passive-aggressive king!
