Noah Sheline is standing up for Huda Mustafa.
As the Love Island USA star continues to make polarizing choices in the villa amid her relationship with Jeremiah Brown, her ex and father of her only daughter, Arleigh, spoke out in her defense.
“At the end of the day I hope everyone remembers we’re human,” Noah wrote in a June 16 TikTok Story, per People. “Her going on that show to find love, or whatever you think it was she’s doing, remember she’s still human, she has a daughter, and a life.”
And while Noah admitted that Huda’s choices on the dating reality series have not been great, he implored fans to go easy on her, calling the amount of hate “unhealthy.”
“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–t on my page,” he continued, “or even clips of it about her.”
Indeed, Noah, 25, is trying to do the best for the couple’s young daughter.
“It’s not my job to police her or the people in my comments, but I will say what you guys do will affect her mental health,” he continued, “and my daughter’s maybe in the future.”

Who is Huda Mustafa’s Daughter’s Father?
While Huda continues to slyly mention her role as a mother on the villa, she has yet to bring up her ex, who she welcomed 4-year-old Arleigh with in 2020.
Based on his social media, Noah spends quite a bit of time with his daughter, often posting photos of the two of them enjoying days at the park or the beach. And after welcoming their daughter nearly five years ago, the 25-year-old shared a heartfelt message to her on social media.
“You are the best thing to happen in my life!” Noah wrote alongside a photo of him holding his newborn. “I love you babygirl! I give you my all, and love you with all my heart.”
His note also praised Huda, now 24, for bringing their daughter into the world.
“I am blessed by god for your health and the support he has given me and the awesome mother you have!” Noah gushed. “Cuz lord knows she was strong and amazing!”
What Does Noah Sheline Do For a Living?
Noah serves in the United States Army and earned his Sapper Tab—a training for engineers in first line combat—last year. He often shares photos of himself in his full military gear and is currently based in North Carolina.
Throughout Arleigh’s life, Noah has made it clear on social media that he loves being her father. In a 2022 post he effused of his daughter, “She makes being a young dad feel like the best thing in the world!”
Prior to his career in the military and welcoming his daughter, Noah attended Berrien Springs High School in Michigan, where he ran for the track team.
What has Huda’s Ex Noah Sheline said about Love Island?
Noah admitted he was “worried” about Huda’s behavior on Love Island, saying it was “crazy” he had to get involved in the social media discourse about her.
“I don’t want my daughter’s mom to get out and see this and her mental health goes down a hill,” he explained in a TikTok Story, per People. “For people who have been respectful and nice and defending her as a mother, thank you! She tries just as much as any other young parent in this world.”
And Noah emphasized that Love Island is just a TV show.
“I just ask people be nice,” he wrote. “Y’all are watching people date I don’t think it’s that serious to put someone down a hole of bullying. Regardless of how ridiculous she might be or seem.”
