Love Island USA star Miguel Harichi is Leah Kateb ’s biggest fan — and he’s extra proud of her for landing an honor in Us Weekly’s Reality Stars of the Year issue. “I’ll have to get a magazine and put it on the wall. I love it!” Harichi told Us Weekly exclusively as Got Milk? debuted their “Real Matches Are Back” campaign at Mel’s Drive-In in West Hollywood.
“She’s a big people person and just seeing how much people really love her and admire her and have such a deep respect for her, it just made me feel good.” Harichi and Kateb got together on season 6 of the Peacock show after her messy love triangle with Rob Rausch . “I know how she was feeling in the villa.
I knew that there were days where she felt really down. There were times where she felt worse than that. To come out and have such a strong support, the love she’s receiving is just so deserved,” Harichi continued.
“Everywhere we go, people are like, ‘I love you, Leah! Oh, you too, Miguel.’ Don’t even worry about me. I don’t care.
I just love seeing her get the love. It genuinely makes me feel so good.” Harichi, who was born in England, gushed that the couple are “better than ever” as he spends time in her native Los Angeles, where he hopes to stay at least “a little bit longer” when he gets his “papers sorted.
” “I would have never thought going into the show prior that I would have left with someone I care so deeply about. It’s honestly surreal,” he told Us.
