Who is Isiah 'Zay' Harayda? 'Love Island USA' fans see a potential match as Casa Amor's new entry wins Destiny Zammarra's heart

'Love Island USA' Season 5's new entry Isiah 'Zay' Harayda was impressed with Destiny Zammarra's conversation skills and ended up sharing a bed with her

On Monday's episode, 'Love Island USA' Season 5 introduced 6 new guys in the villa. And one among them is Isiah "Zay" Harayda who started charming everyone ever since he entered the villa.

Zay's eyes seem to have caught the attention of Destiny Zammarra in the house. Destiny has not yet paired up with anyone and eagerly seeks a match.

And, the new entry seems to have opened the love fate for the 'Love Island USA' star. Detsiny and Zay spent some quality time together on Tuesday's episode, leaving everyone wondering whether they could be a match.

Who is Isiah 'Zay' Harayda?

Isiah "Zay" Harayda is a 23-year-old Long Island, New York, native and works as an executive sales representative.

Casa Amor's new entry previously worked in US Air Force for 4 years. He joined the military in 2019, being the SrA member of the 171st Air Refueling Wing, Pittsburg Pennsylvania. 

Zay went to Community College of the Air Force, with a major in Criminal Justice and Law Enforcement. After that, he joined the Indiana University of Pennsylvania. 

Zay recently trudges over 50 miles through the snowy mountains, carrying a 65-pound backpack. The 23-year-old loves hiking, camping, and exploring new places. Zay's current obsession is buying new cologne.

Will Zay pair up with Destiny?

Destiny was left flustered after she found out Zay's actual age. During Tuesday's episode, both were seen having a little chit-chat with each other. Zay asked Destiny, "I don't quite remember how old you are." To which, Destiny confidently replied, "I'm 27."

When asked by Zay, "Do you know how old I am?" Destiny denied knowing it. She guessed Zay to be somewhere around her age, 26 or 26 or even 28. But it was shocking to her when he revealed to be just 23 years old. 

Destiny dropped her glass of drink saying, "Ohh sorry" as she laughed after knowing Zay is just 23. Despite the age difference Zay and Destiny bonded quite well. Zay believes Detsiny is a smooth talker.

'Really feeling Zay for Destiny'

As Destiny and Zay shared a bed in the end,  a fan tweeted, "I already booked my boarding pass to the destiny and zay ship I’m sorry."

Another wrote, "I know not to fall quick with a ship again but with destiny and zay I’m definitely seeing the vision."

One viewer claimed, "I’m really feeling Zay for Destiny. Hands down best smile and I know he smells good. He made Destiny smile too and that’s what’s important. So cute that they ended up sharing a bed."

"Okay Zay ! I can see him & Destiny working," tweeted another.
