If you’ve heard the TikTok sound on random videos that has a woman saying, “I’m a Mommy … I’m a mom” and you don’t know what it’s from, we’re here to tell you that it’s from none other than Love Island. When Season 7 cast member Huda Mustafa tells Nic Vansteenberghe that she is a mom to a little girl back home, it’s reality TV gold. Not because Nic is super shocked, but because he doesn’t even quite understand what she’s saying.
Because of that, the clip of Huda telling Nic she is a “mommy” has gone viral on TikTok. Even people who haven’t watched the show or kept up with Huda, Nic, or the other islanders can appreciate how out-of-pocket Nic’s responses are when he tries to clarify what Huda means when she tells him that she’s a mom and has a daughter “in real life.”

Huda’s reveal about being a mom is a shock to Nic on ‘Love Island.’
Most of the Love Island cast members arrive at the villa to hook up, win money, and maybe leave with a partner. For Huda, though, there is a lot more on the line, because she came into the experience as a single mom. She tells Nic as much after she told some of the women, and at first, he doesn’t quite understand what she means.
Nic smiles and says, “Mamacita?” in an attempt to clarify what Huda meant when she said she is a “mommy” and “mom.” He also considers that maybe Huda meant she is a dog mom. She then explains she has a daughter. Nic asks, “Like in real life?” Then Huda once again has to clarify that she means she has a “human child” at home.
Naturally, people on TikTok flew to the comments of this clip to share their jokes about Nic not quite getting it.
One person quoted Nic, writing, “‘Like in real life,’ no in Roblox,” the person joked.
Someone else wrote, “Nic was spooked out,” which, if true, might explain his reaction.
“Him asking if it was a boy or girl after she said I have a daughter,” another fan commented.
Other fans on X (formerly Twitter) shared tons of gifs, posts, and memes about Nic’s inability to understand what Huda was telling him. Luckily for both of them, Huda and Nic didn’t stay together long after she revealed her big secret to him. But their “mom” and “mommy” moment is sure to go down in Love Island history.
“Y’all the mommy/mamacita scene between Nic and Huda is living in my head RENT FREE LMAOOO,” someone posted on X after the episode aired. “Cuz why would he say that?!! But also why wouldn’t she just say she has a daughter?!! I can’t stop crying PLSS.”
Maybe Nic cooled on Huda because of her big mommy reveal. Or he just had a better connection elsewhere. That certainly happens to plenty of Love Island pairs. But for fans, it doesn’t really matter, because Nic and Huda’s conversation has the internet in a choke hold now.
