Before entering the Love Island USA villa, Beatriz Katz had already achieved more than many do in a lifetime. The athlete from Team USA represented her country on the world stage, participated in two Paralympic Games, and won a bronze medal in the women’s long jump in the T64 category at the 2024 Paralympic Games in Paris.
Now, she brings that same competitive spirit to the eighth season of Love Island USA, hoping to find a meaningful connection and make history as the first Paralympian contestant on the show.
Here’s what you need to know about Beatriz.
Beatriz was born and raised in Colorado in a multicultural family. Her mother is Mexican, and her father is white. She has noted that her Mexican heritage is an important part of her identity, and before entering the villa, she shared that she would like to meet a partner who appreciates her culture, especially if he speaks Spanish.
Before joining Love Island USA, Beatriz competed for Team USA on the world stage. The two-time Paralympian won a bronze medal in women’s long jump in the T64 category at the 2024 Paralympic Games in Paris, after previously representing the USA at the Tokyo Games.
Beatriz was born without a fibula in her right leg due to a rare condition called fibular hemimelia. At 10 months old, she underwent a below-the-knee amputation and has since had several surgeries. Today, she uses her platform to advocate for the rights of people with disabilities and young prosthetic users.
Beatriz was born on October 7, 2000, and she is 25 years old. A Colorado native, she participated in various sports from a young age, including softball, basketball, soccer, karate, and skiing, before focusing on track and field. She currently lives in San Diego, California.
When Beatriz entered the villa for the eighth season, she made history as the first Paralympian ever invited to Love Island USA. Her groundbreaking appearance has been highly praised by both fans and advocates for disability rights, bringing a new level of representation to the popular dating show
