Bryce Alakai, a model, DJ and winner of Love Island USA season eight, has signed with United Talent Agency for global representation.
Alakai was crowned the winner of Peacock’s hit reality dating show earlier this month, alongside Trinity Tatum, after they became a fan-favorite couple during season eight. They took home a $100,000 cash prize.
UTA will work with Alakai to “secure opportunities across live touring, digital content, brand partnerships, strategic business ventures and additional entertainment opportunities,” the talent agency said.
He has amassed a large following on social media, reaching nearly three million followers across Instagram and TikTok. Following Love Island USA, Alakai looks to continue expanding his reach across music, entertainment and fashion with new music, live performances and additional projects on the horizon.
Throughout Alakai’s time on Peacock series — which dominated the Nielsen streaming charts — he remained coupled up with Tatum since day one. Though they seemed like an unlikely match at first, appearing to be more friends than lovers, their relationship actually became a slow burn, developing throughout the season. Once Casa Amor arrived, their true feelings finally came to the surface during the show’s ultimate relationship test. When they finally got reunited, they remained a power couple, eventually making it official as girlfriend and boyfriend before the show ended on July 12.
Alakai will continue to be represented by Podwall Entertainment, The Lede Company and Shihadeh Law P.C.
His signing came shortly after The Hollywood Reporter reported that Tatum signed with WME, and fellow season eight contestant Jen Terry signed with Motive.
