Peacock may have spoiled its own surprise. Hours before Thursday’s episode of Love Island USA Season 8 aired, a photo of incoming bombshell Corbin Mims was briefly uploaded to the show’s app before being taken down. Fans on Reddit spotted it quickly, and as Cosmopolitan reported, Mims had also limited comments on his Instagram — which only fueled speculation that he was the new bombshell.
According to his LinkedIn, Mims is from Miami and a recent marketing graduate of Stetson University, where he also served as a resident assistant. He graduated in 2026 and co-founded Caicos Exclusive, a luxury vacation rental company operating in Turks and Caicos, in 2024.
On Friday’s episode, Corbin entered the villa during the season’s first challenge, where a teaser initially showed him making out with Kayda Bosse before the full picture came into focus — he had been kissing the women without the men knowing. The women were quick to note his stature; Corbin stands 6’4″.
He was then formally introduced to the full cast at the fire pit. He joins a cast that includes Aniya Harvey, Sincere Rhea, Melanie Moreno, Bryce Dettloff, Trinity Tatum, KC Chandler, Kenzie Annis, Sean Reifel, Zach Georgiou, Gabriel Vasconcelos, Beatriz Hatz and fellow bombshell Kayda Bosse.
