Spring break just got a major upgrade, and reality TV’s hottest names are at the center of it. “Love Island” stars Nic Vansteenberghe, Jeremiah Brown, and Iris Kendall took their fan-favorite energy off-screen and onto the sand, teaming up with Smirnoff Ice to celebrate the launch of its new Icy Island Variety Pack. But instead of a traditional rollout, the trio hit beaches across the country, surprising “Love Island” fans with pop-up parties, DJ sets, and unforgettable “island time” moments.

‘Love Island’ Stars Take Over Beaches Nationwide

Rather than relying on ads, Smirnoff Ice brought the vibes directly to the people. The reality stars popped up in major beach destinations, including Fort Lauderdale, South Padre Island, and Panama City Beach, transforming casual beach days into full-on events. From spontaneous celebrations to interactive experiences, each stop delivered something unique.

Each location brought its own flavor of chaos, in the best way possible. In Fort Lauderdale, Jeremiah Brown kicked things off by mingling with beachgoers while setting up a surprise birthday moment for Nic. Over in South Padre Island, Iris Kendall turned heads by offering impromptu spray tans while handing out drinks.

Nic Vansteenberghe DJs Beach Party Before Birthday Blowout

Meanwhile, Panama City Beach delivered a full-scale takeover. Nic stepped behind the DJ booth for a beachside set before celebrating his birthday and heading out on the water with friends. “That was easily one of the best ways I could’ve spent my birthday,” Nic Vansteenberghe said. “Good people, good energy, and of course, good drinks, can’t really ask for more.”

The “Love Island USA” star is also using his growing platform to encourage men to take a more intentional approach to self-care. The Season 7 runner-up has partnered with Dove Men+Care to promote its new Mood-Boosting Collection, hoping to shift the conversation around men’s grooming habits. According to Vansteenberghe, self-care isn’t just about looking good, but it’s about being mindful and consistent.

Since rising to fame on the hit reality series, the 24-year-old Florida native and registered nurse has been adjusting to life in the spotlight, including how he views himself and handles online commentary. Before his time in the villa, he admits self-care wasn’t even part of his routine.

Now, post-show, he’s focused on getting back into shape and building healthier habits into his daily life. And in true “Love Island” fashion, he’s found a humorous way to describe it, saying his deodorant has become his “wing man,” much like his fellow Islanders were during his time in Fiji.

Iris Kendall Keeps Romance ‘Normal’ After ‘Show ‘Love Island’

The collaboration also comes as Iris Kendall continues to navigate life after reality TV, and her complicated love story.

Following her appearance on Love Island USA Season 7, Kendall and Pepe Garcia-Gonzalez finished in fourth place and have been adjusting to their relationship outside the villa. “Obviously, with how everything blew up, we’re just trying to make it as normal as possible and take things like we normally would have two months ago,” Pepe explained.

Iris Kendall Left Heartbroken After TJ Exit

Her journey hasn’t been without heartbreak. After forming a strong connection with TJ in the villa, Kendall was left reeling when he was voted off just days before the finale. “TJ and I had an amazing connection in the villa, and it was real, and it was very heartbreaking for me,” Iris recalled.

“I was definitely sad about it, and I cried for days, and I felt very heartbroken and upset with my friends for not standing behind me,” she added. “And it felt like my only experience that I had in here so far that it was ripped away from me.”

It has since been reported that Kendall and TJ are currently dating.

Nic Vansteenberghe Expands Into DJ Booth

Nic Vansteenberghe isn’t slowing down after Love Island USA. The reality star is already exploring new ventures, from stepping behind the DJ booth to even officiating weddings, proving his post-villa era is just getting started.

While he’s branching out professionally, Vansteenberghe is still holding onto one key takeaway from his time on the show: confidence starts with how you take care of yourself. “It’s cool to have this [Dove partnership] to promote grooming and hygiene,” he told PEOPLE. “I think a lot of guys think [having a regimen is] a girls-only thing, but women love when men have good hygiene.”
