Amid the temporary restraining order against Huda Mustafa, the attention has fallen on her family life with her daughter, Arleigh, whom she shares with her ex-partner, Noah Sheline.
Love Island USA's Huda Mustafa has once again found herself in a controversial situation after her current partner's ex issued a restraining order against her. The 25-year-old reality TV star just received a temporary restraining order from Nicole Olivera, the ex-partner of Mustafa's current boyfriend, Louis Russell.
So, what did Mustafa do this time? According to court documents obtained by TMZ, the Love Island star allegedly made "terrifying" and "extremely mentally unstable" remarks during a heated confrontation with Nicole Oliver, after which she "swore on" her daughter's life that she would kill herself. She also reportedly directed alarming comments towards Olivera and her child, whom she shares with Louis Russell.
While controversy hasn't seemed to leave Mustafa's side in recent years, she was a mom and a rising star who lived a quiet life with her ex-partner, Noah Sheline. Here's everything you need to know about the reality TV star's baby daddy.
Nearly five years before she became a fan favourite Islander on Love Island USA, Mustafa had started a family at a relatively young age. On July 15, 2020, the model and reality star welcomed her daughter, Arleigh, with her ex-partner, Noah Sheline. Both parents, especially Sheline, have been vocal about being young parents. After her birth, Sheline posted a carousel of photos and wrote:
"You are the best thing to happen in my life! I love you babygirl! I give you my all, and love you with all my heart. You are the most adorable treasure and the best gift to me as your father! I am blessed by god for your health and the support he has given me and the awesome mother you have!"
Noah loves to describe himself as a "young dad" and frequently posts heartfelt tributes to his little bundle of joy, and he has also expressed his admiration for Mustafa for bringing their daughter into the world. Mustafa, too, has spoken fondly of Arleigh and her experience as a single mom during her stint on Love Island season 7.
Huda Mustafa's former long-term partner and baby daddy, Noah Sheline, is originally from Michigan and later based in North Carolina. The 26-year-old lives a life away from reality TV fame and serves in the United States Army. According to his Instagram, he attended Berrien Springs High School in Michigan, where he was part of the track team. His professional achievements include earning the prestigious Sapper Tab, a distinction awarded to soldiers skilled in advanced combat engineering.
Despite his split from Mustafa, Sheline has remained on good terms with her family as they continue to co-parent their daughter and give her the best life they can. He has never stopped himself from voicing his support for his ex-partner through online backlash. In June 2025, Sheline took to TikTok and shared a message supporting Mustafa, when she was receiving significant backlash for her time on Love Island USA season 7.
In case you missed it, Huda Mustafa was severely criticised since day one of season 7, after she was coupled up with fellow islander Jeremiah Browne and didn't appear to pursue any other connection as the season progressed. This decision, along with her controversial comments on the show, made her an unlikable figure for many users on social media.
Addressing the backlash, Sheline defended the reality TV star, urging people to remember that she is "still human" and the negativity would affect both her and her daughter's mental health. He wrote:
"She’s maybe not doing a great job, idk, I don’t watch the show, but I don’t like that I’m seeing so much negative s--- on my page or even clips of it about her... but I will say what you guys do will affect her mental health and my daughter’s maybe in the future. So I’m looking out for her in that aspect. Out of respect for our daughter... I don’t want my daughter’s mom to get out and see this, and her mental health goes down a hill."
There is little information about Mustafa and Sheline's reason for the split, but the former couple has remained involved in each other's lives as single parents to their growing daughter. Most of Sheline's social media feed is filled with moments with Arleigh, including a Valentine's Day date at a bowling alley in February 2026.
The reality TV star has since moved on with model Louis Russell, confirming their relationship in 2025. The couple often shares PDA-filled moments on each other's social media pages. Russell shares a son with his former partner, Nicole Olivera, who recently filed a temporary restraining order (TRO) against Mustafa for her alleged aggressive behaviour and threatening comments towards her and her child.
Huda Mustafa has been an original islander ever since she joined Love Island USA, but she had reportedly been absent from the shooting of Love Island's Beyond the Villa Season 1. According to Deadline, she will no longer be a part of the show's second season, which is set to premiere on Peacock on April 15, 2026.
All controversies and backlash aside, Huda Mustafa and her former partner, Noah Sheline, have kept their priorities straight when it comes to their daughter's well-being.
