The temporary restraining order against Huda Mustafa remains in place as the Love Island star awaits the next hearing, Us Weekly can confirm.
A hearing was scheduled for Friday, April 3, at the Los Angeles Superior Court after Nicole Olivera, the ex of Mustafa’s boyfriend Louis Russell, filed a restraining order against the reality star last month. Neither Mustafa nor Russell, both 25, present in court, although Olivera was in attendance.
The judge ultimately pushed the hearing to Thursday, April 23, after Olivera’s attorney asked for a continuance, ruling that Olivera’s temporary restraining order be extended. (The order was set to expire on Friday.)
“Any temporary orders are to remain in full force and effect until the continued hearing date,” read the ruling, per court documents obtained by Us. “Order on Request to Continue Court Hearing is signed and filed [on] this date.”
What Has Happened to the ‘Love Island USA’ Cast Since the Finale
Mustafa has yet to appoint legal counsel to the case. Us has reached out to Mustafa’s spokesperson for comment.
Us previously obtained court documents filed by Olivera on March 12 seeking protection for herself and her son with Russell. Russell’s ex claimed at the time that Mustafa “was making threats” against Olivera, the exes’ son Luka-Kai, the reality star’s own daughter, Arleigh, 5 — whom she shares with ex Noah Sheline — on February 20.
According to Olivera, after experiencing “about 12 hours” of threats from Mustafa before the TV personality then “broke into” the building where Olivera’s son lives. Mustafa also allegedly harassed Olivera on social media.
Olivera claimed that Russell informed Mustafa that “her actions have called for a restraining order.”
As for her reason for pursuing a protective order, Olivera alleged in the court documents that she was “mentally and emotionally in fear for my son and my own safety.”
The same day of Olivera’s filing, a judge granted her request for a temporary restraining order against Mustafa, who was ordered to stay “at least 100 yards” away from Olivera and her son and to not contact them.
After news of the protective order made headlines, Mustafa denied the allegations via her Instagram Story.
“I’m aware of what’s being said and it’s not true,” she claimed on March 17. “I’m handling everything the right way by letting legal take care of it. I appreciate everyone who continues to support me.”

Us also confirmed that Russell filed an emergency court order on March 18 for joint legal custody of his and Olivera’s son as well as a parenting and custody plan between the exes. In the paperwork Russell filed, he claimed that Olivera “unreasonably” halted contact between him and their son. He also accused his ex of using their son “as a bargaining chip” and threatening to move out of state. A judge ultimately denied Russell’s emergency request.
Mustafa rose to fame on Love Island season 7, which aired in the summer of 2025. Although she and Chris Seeley finished in third place, they became the first couple in the reality show’s history to break up during a season finale.
Soon after she wrapped filming on Love Island, Mustafa was linked to Russell, who previously appeared on seasons 5 and 6 of Too Hot to Handle in 2023 and 2024 and season 3 of Perfect Match in 2025.
Mustafa’s court hearing comes just days before the Monday, April 6, premiere of Unwell Winter Games, on which she and Russell will both star. The duo are among the 16 “polarizing” public figures set to compete in mental and physical challenges on the YouTube reality series.
