Love Island USA’s Miguel Harichi remains head over heels in love with his girlfriend Leah Kateb.

“Things are going great. It’s never a boring moment for us,” Harichi, 27, exclusively told Us Weekly while celebrating Innisfree’s newest skincare launch on Tuesday, December 10. “The relationship is just progressing. I love her more and more every day.”

Whether enjoying trips to Las Vegas or spending quality time together at Kateb’s house in Los Angeles, the pair continue documenting their love story on social media.

In fact, some fans can’t help but notice Harichi calling his girlfriend “my wife” in select TikTok videos.

Kyle Richards has been resonating with fans since the beginning of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills — and as one of the last remaining OG Housewives of Bravo, she shows no signs of slowing down. When asked how it feels to be Us Weekly’s reality star of the year, Richards says, “You sort of […]

“She’s not my wife legally,” he told Us at Cᴀssetta in Beverly Hills, California. “We haven’t gone and got married, but for me, I just view her as my wife. When I date, I date for marriage. I don’t see any short-term things. Even though we aren’t married yet, I just view her as my woman, my second half, my wife. For me, it’s another way of putting her as my queen, my princess.”

Harichi, who was born in England, first met Kateb, 25, while filming season 6 of Love Island USA. On the season finale in July, the couple vowed to stay together and grow their relationship away from the cameras.

In 2025, Harichi is hoping to call Los Angeles his permanent home once his visa process is complete.

“I know everyone’s like, ‘How has it stayed so long?’ I’ve actually had a six-month work visa,” he explained to Us. “I’m going back to the U.K. to renew it and extend it. I am planning on moving out here. That is my goal.”

Until then, Harichi is making plenty of special memories with Kateb. When they aren’t exploring Los Angeles together, the couple enjoys a low-key dinner or relaxing in bed.

“We can just sit in the bedroom just the whole day doing nothing,” Harichi joked, “and we’ll just find a way to entertain each other.”

Through all the fun, skincare remains a priority for the reality star. This week, Harichi helped celebrate the launch of Innisfree’s Green Tea Enzyme Vitamin C Brightening Toner Pads. Available Wednesday, December 18, the product can gently exfoliate, calm and hydrate the skin in one step.

“I’ll definitely say, as far as skincare goes, Innisfreeis very light and non-greasy,” Harichi told Us. “I think that’s something I struggled with because I wouldn’t say I have oily skin, but the wrong product can make my skin very oily. Innisfree is light, clean, low oil. They definitely help.”

Love Island USA season 6 is streaming now on Peacock.
