Huda Mustafa and Louis Russell first sparked dating rumors in July 2025 following her appearance on season seven of ‘Love Island USA.’ A month later, the duo seemingly hard launched their relationship when Huda popped out with Russell at the ‘Weapons’ movie premiere. Even though they showcased their love online, the couple still hit a few bumps in the road.
Most recently, in March, Huda and Louis hopped on social media to address reports about a temporary restraining order connected to allegations from Louis’ ex-girlfriend and the mother of his son, Nicole Olivera. A judge granted the temporary restraining order and ordered Huda to stay away from Nicole and her son. Nicole claimed Mustafa threatened her and her son and also tried to break into their Los Angeles home. At the time Huda dropped a message on her Instagram Stories telling fans she was choosing to handle things legally. Meanwhile, Louis shared his own message saying he just wanted to focus on being “a good dad.”
