A new heartbreak has entered the villa.
Chelley Bissainthe and Ace Greene, who became a couple on season seven of Love Island USA this summer, have ended their five-month relationship, Chelley has confirmed.
Ace and I have broken up,” Chelley shared on SiriusXM’s Page Six Radio on December 12th. “It was a really difficult decision for both of us. Sometimes, the best way to show love is to let someone go, and we realized that was the right thing to do.
The 28-year-old explained that she and Ace are ending their relationship with respect and understanding, acknowledging they both hoped it would last, but sometimes relationships just don’t work out.
Chelley mentioned facing some difficult times in her relationship, but she didn’t share any details about what those challenges were.
We talked things over quite a bit,” she said. “Ultimately, we both agreed this was the best course of action.”
The reality star admitted she was aware many viewers were hoping she and Ace would win, especially since they were eliminated right before the final. However, she ultimately had to make the decision that felt right for her personally.
I’ve been thinking about our fans and everyone who supports us, and I believe they’ll understand why I made this decision. Relationships are complicated, and I’m hoping people will respect our privacy. We both deserve that. I don’t think it’s necessary to share the details, and I hope we can all accept this peacefully and understand that we’re handling things amicably.
The Orlando native also said she and Ace, 23, didn’t delay their breakup just to appear as if they were trying to make the relationship work.
From the start, we agreed to keep our relationship private, away from public attention. It was built on genuine love, but like any relationship, we faced difficulties. We decided it was better to end things on good terms, while things were still positive, rather than letting them escalate into something unhealthy. We wanted to finish with kindness and affection.
The Florida native also said she and Ace, 23, didn’t delay their breakup just to appear like they were trying to make the relationship work.
From the start, we agreed to keep our relationship private, away from the public eye. It’s based on a real connection and genuine love, but like any relationship, we’ve faced difficulties. Sometimes, it’s best to end things peacefully, before they escalate, and preserve the good feelings we shared. We want to finish on a positive note, with kindness and affection.
Chelley explained that she needs time to heal and grow following recent events, and she’s prioritizing self-care. She’s asked both her fans and the media to respect her privacy as she focuses on her well-being.
She was thankful for the time she spent with Ace, no matter how long or short their relationship lasted.
Chelley believes we’re here to connect with others. She explained that these connections can be fleeting, lasting only for a specific moment, or they can endure a lifetime – you never know how long they’ll last.
“Very grateful nonetheless,” she noted. “At the end of the day, I wish Ace the best.”

Though they left the Love Island UK villa as a couple in 2018, the romance didn’t last long after they returned from Mallorca, and they eventually went their separate ways.
In July 2025, Ellie revealed she was engaged to her boyfriend, though she hasn’t shared his name with the public. The announcement came a year after they first went public with their relationship.
Uma and Wil first connected while on season 11 of Love Island UK. Wil was eliminated from the show, and Uma left shortly after with him, following a choice made by Reuben Collins.
In July 2025, after a year as a couple, Uma revealed she and Wil were engaged. She shared the news on Instagram, posting a picture of her engagement ring with the caption, “We’ve been keeping a secret!”
For the reality star, staying on Love Island after Wil’s exit didn’t seem like an option.
She explained on the Not My Bagg podcast that her decision was immediate. “I knew right away I wanted to be with Wil,” she said.
She told Lisa and Joe Baggs that she’s started seeing someone new. She explained it took her a long time to feel comfortable with her ex, Wil, and she only had two weeks left on their commitment. Rather than pretend to feel something she didn’t, she chose to be honest about how she felt.
Rumors of a split between Amaya and Bryan began circulating when they unfollowed each other on Instagram just before the season seven reunion aired in August 2025. Sadly, Amaya, who often refers to herself as a “sensitive gangster,” confirmed the breakup two days later.
She explained on Instagram that after leaving the villa, it was obvious we wanted different things. She believes relationships should be a partnership, and you don’t need to experience everything firsthand to understand something isn’t right.
Olandria and Nic were the only couple who were there from the very beginning and made it to the final round. Throughout the show, they kept viewers guessing as they explored other potential partners and switched between simply being friends and officially coupling up.
Olandria explained in the finale, “I believe a strong relationship starts with friendship – a connection built on getting to know each other without any pressure.” She realized that sometimes the person who’s been there for you all along is the one you’re meant to be with.
The runners-up wondered if that had been true for them the whole time.
Nic added, “What was special about our relationship was that we almost missed it! We both started out interested in other people, but I always had a secret crush on you. We faced unexpected challenges and were even removed from the show at one point. But when you came to see me off as I left, it felt like a sign. We were given a chance to connect and build something we hadn’t realized was there.”
Now, everyone’s wondering what the future holds for Nic and Olandria!
Nic shared at the reunion that they and their partner prefer to move at their own pace and don’t feel rushed by external expectations. They’re enjoying traveling together and already have more dates in the works.
Though Iris and Pepe connected romantically late in the season, they felt it allowed them to build a strong foundation of friendship first. During the finale, Iris shared how her Love Island experience was amazing, starting with Pepe as a close friend and potentially blossoming into something more outside of the show. The couple, who finished in fourth place, confirmed they were exclusively dating at the reunion. However, rumors of a split circulated beforehand when fans noticed they had unfollowed each other on Instagram.
He confirmed their breakup on Aug. 28.

The news came as a shock to fans, who adored their sweet tributes to one another online.
I still get butterflies reading what he posted for her birthday in December 2024! He called her ‘My Pookie Bear, My Love, My Heart, My Nay Nay’ – seriously, how sweet is that?! He also said it’s been amazing watching her chase her dreams these past few months, and honestly, it’s so clear how much he adores her. It just makes my heart melt seeing them together.
He went on to say that her smile brightens any space she enters. Even when all eyes are on her, she consistently makes everyone around her feel cherished and valued. He finds her inner beauty as captivating as her outer beauty, which is why he often finds himself lost in admiring her. He feels incredibly fortunate to have her in his life.
I added Jana to the plans for Kenny’s birthday in February 2025, along with a message saying: ‘You’re not just my best friend, you’re my safe place. I love sharing life with you. Your love lets me be myself, and I’m so grateful for that.’
Josh and Sophie had both previously looked for love on Love Island – Josh finished third with Lauren Richardson in 2015, and Sophie joined the show five years later. It wasn’t until Love Island: All Stars in 2024 that they finally found a connection, finishing in third place together.
She posted on Instagram that February, writing, “This is just the beginning.” She also expressed her gratitude to everyone who had supported them, saying their support meant everything.
And she was correct that it was only the start of their forever journey.
In a March 2025 Instagram post celebrating their first anniversary, Josh wrote a sweet message to his partner. He jokingly wondered how they’d managed to tolerate him for so long, playfully warning them that a lifetime of it lay ahead. He finished with a loving ‘Love you always’.
The winners of the 2021 season of Love Island UK continued their relationship outside of the show, starting in August 2021. Their commitment was famously tested when the show introduced new contestants at Casa Amor during the seventh season.

In October 2023, Caro surprised everyone by announcing she had secretly married Rene Lacad the previous month. Then, in December, she shared the wonderful news that they were expecting a daughter. Baby Amina arrived in April 2024.
In a Mother’s Day 2025 Instagram post, she expressed her gratitude to Amina, writing, ‘Thank you for letting me be your mom – it’s the best thing ever.’
One of the biggest surprises on the U.S. version of the show was Kyra’s decision to leave in hopes of pursuing a relationship with Cashel, even after initially eliminating him. However, she was disappointed to learn he had already returned, and sadly, the couple broke up in October 2019.
Kyra and Cashel briefly got back together by late November, but they permanently ended their relationship in February 2020.
He said on the NoFilter podcast that they really tried to make things work, but they’ve grown apart. He also admitted he thinks she blocked his number.
Kyra continued to appear on reality TV, including shows like Match Me If You Can (2021), The Challenge: USA (2022, where Cashel also competed), and Love Island Games (2023). However, she found a lasting relationship outside of the shows with Tal Sahar, a dental student and former basketball player, in 2024.
Court records show Cashel was arrested in Utah in May 2025 for domestic violence and assault. He then faced additional charges of assault and domestic violence the next month.
Cashel has denied the accusations, according to NBC News. His lawyer, Andrew K. Deesing, stated that Cashel and his family are going through a very challenging period and asked for privacy while they work to clear his name. Deesing added that it’s too early in the process to offer any further details.
Even though many viewers and the other couples on the show doubted their connection, Weston and Emily from season one of the USA version actually dated in person for a while before eventually splitting up.

The winning couple from season 10 of Love Island UK broke up just two months after leaving the show, in October 2023.
According to Sammy, the breakup came as a “total shock.”
He explained in an Instagram Story that they had a private discussion, but it didn’t resolve anything because Jess was still traveling and they hadn’t been able to talk face-to-face. He wanted to be clear that he hoped they could work things out and believed trying to talk it through was the right thing to do.
You know, even after everything that happened today, I truly believe Jess is an incredible person, and I really want her to be happy and successful. I sincerely wish her all the best.
Sammy starred on Love Island: All Stars in early 2025 and began dating Elma Pazar. However, rumors of a breakup surfaced in June of that year.

However, in August 2024, Finley introduced a new girlfriend on Instagram. Though they initially kept her identity a secret, The Sun reported in June 2025 that he is now dating Jess Hale.
Oh my gosh, I was totally rooting for Siânnise and Luke from Winter Love Island 2020! They seemed so perfect together in the villa, and I was convinced they’d last! It was so heartbreaking to hear they split up in November 2021, after being together for almost a year. I really thought they were ‘the one’ for each other!
However, he’s since found love again and got engaged to Chelsea Menna less than a year later in 2022.
Honestly, I was absolutely fuming when that scaffolder decided to ditch Shaughna Phillips for Molly while they were at Casa Amor! It was a truly shocking move, and the whole nation seemed to agree. We all ended up voting them out – good riddance, really. It was so upsetting to see Shaughna treated like that!
Although they were together for three years after leaving the island, they split up in 2023.
The next year, both Molly and Callum appeared on Love Island: All Stars. Molly paired up with Tom Clare and they won the season. Callum found romance with Jess Gale, and they came in second place. Although Callum and Jess broke up later in 2024 – Callum is now dating Yasmin Deplidge – Molly and Tom are still together.
Nas began season six as a popular contestant, but he lost fans’ support after ending his relationship with Demi Jones to pursue a connection with Eva following Casa Amor.
Despite being eliminated from the show, Nas and Eva continued dating and officially became a couple in July 2020.
After speculation about an engagement starting in August 2023 when Eva was seen wearing a ring, Nas revealed in March 2024 that they had broken up.
Nas announced on Instagram that he and Eva have decided to separate. He explained that the split was mutual and friendly, with no conflict or hard feelings between them.

Demi explained to MailOnline in June 2020 that she and her partner had ended their relationship. While she felt the split originated more from his side, they parted ways amicably. She added that the challenges of lockdown and the distance between them, combined with a lack of communication, led them to grow apart.
I was so thrilled when Luke and Lucie from a previous season got together! They officially started dating back in July 2020, and things moved pretty quickly – they were engaged by the next year. It’s lovely to see them so happy together!
Demi was a contestant on the 2024 season of Love Island: All Stars, where she connected with Luis Morrison. Unfortunately, their relationship didn’t last and they split up later in the year.

It’s always disappointing when a winning couple doesn’t last, isn’t it? Greg and his partner were fan favorites who won season five of the show after connecting just weeks before the finale – especially surprising since Greg joined the villa late in the season. Sadly, they split up only a few weeks after winning.
Following a bit of public discussion about the breakup – reportedly initiated by Greg, a rugby player living in Ireland, through a text message – Amber shared on the show Loose Women that she believes their careers and the long distance were ongoing issues. She admitted they were aware of these challenges from the beginning and, while she had hoped they could overcome them, she accepts that the relationship simply didn’t work out.
Greg explained on RTE’s The Late Late Show that because his ex-partner lives in the UK and is in high demand for work and events, she naturally deserves those opportunities. He contrasted this with his own decision to return to Ireland and focus on his career here.
However, he found a new connection and kicked off 2025 by proposing to his love Jeanni Mulder.
Their relationship began with a lot of excitement, and the Instagram star and boxer quickly became the most stable couple on season five of the show. That’s why everyone was so shocked when they didn’t win!
Molly-Mae and her partner announced their engagement in July 2024, just six months after welcoming their daughter, Bambi. However, she surprisingly revealed they had broken up the very next month, in August 2024.
I’m heartbroken to share that Tommy and I have decided to end our relationship. I’ll always cherish the most important thing in my life – our wonderful daughter. We both love her very much, and she will always come first.
In May 2025, during an episode of her Amazon Prime show, Molly-Mae: Behind It All, she shared that she and Tommy were trying to make their relationship work again.
Okay, seriously, they were so controversial during season five, everyone was always talking about them! People really doubted they’d last, with all the drama, but I was rooting for them! And I was SO thrilled when they actually made it work outside the villa – it was amazing to see them prove everyone wrong back in 2019. I knew they had something special!
You know, Maura Higgins shared some really great advice on This Morning about how she and her partner make things work. She said the biggest things are to trust each other, not believe everything you see in the tabloids, and most importantly, to stay grounded. It’s simple, but it really resonated with me – staying humble is key!
However, the pair broke up in March 2020.
Maura announced on Instagram that she and Curtis have decided to go their separate ways. She shared that they had a wonderful time together on the show and appreciated all the support they received as a couple.
Curtis continued to appear on the Love Island franchise after their split. He competed on Love Island: Games in 2023 and then Love Island: All Stars in 2025, where he and Ekin-Su finished in third place. Unfortunately, that relationship also ended after a few months.
Ekin-Su announced on Instagram in May 2025 that she and Curtis have broken up, according to People. She explained it was a difficult decision made with a lot of love and respect for each other. She also shared that she’ll always treasure their memories together, both from their time on the show and beyond.
Almost a year after Ekin-Su and Davide won season eight of Love Island in 2022, Davide announced that they had split up.
In June 2023, he announced on Instagram that he and Ekin-Su are no longer a couple. He expressed gratitude for their shared experiences and wished her well, requesting privacy and respect for both of them during this challenging time. He also stated he will continue to support Ekin-Su in any way he can.
Not long after, the pair rekindled their romance. However, they ended up calling it quits again.
In a recent Instagram post, Ekin-Su shared that she and Davide have decided to end their 18-month relationship. According to screenshots from Cosmopolitan UK, she explained that while they both wanted things to work and deeply cared for each other, they’ve ultimately decided to go their separate ways. Ekin-Su acknowledged that breakups are difficult for everyone and asked for privacy as they move forward, adding that she cherishes the time and memories they shared.
Both Davide and Ekin-Su found love again after their time on reality TV. In the summer of 2024, Davide started a relationship with Iris Au. Ekin-Su briefly dated Curtis after they finished third on Love Island: All Stars in early 2025, but they broke up a few months later.
Though Ovie arrived during the Casa Amor episodes and India joined even later in the season, they quickly became a fan favorite and made it to the final three on season five of the show in 2019.
However, the professional basketball player and the model quietly parted ways later that year.
It’s definitely been hard, but breakups are never easy,” she shared with MailOnline. “It’s especially tough when it happens publicly, but I’m doing okay. I feel fortunate to have such supportive friends who are really taking care of me right now.
In early 2025, India appeared on Love Island: All Stars but left the show single.
Lucie and Joe initially connected on the first day of season five. However, after Joe was eliminated from the show, Lucie dated several other contestants and even confessed strong feelings for someone who was already in a relationship. That’s why fans were so surprised when they announced they were dating after the season finished.
I’ve been following the story of this couple, and sadly, their second try at love didn’t work out. Just like their first romance, things ultimately fizzled, and they went their separate ways in early December 2019. It’s always disappointing to see a relationship not last, but sometimes it’s just not meant to be.
It’s lovely to see Lucie moving forward – she’s engaged to Luke from season six! As for Joe, even though he put himself out there on All Stars earlier this year, he appears to be happily embracing single life right now, and honestly, good for him!
Anton and Belle were the second couple from season five to break up after leaving the villa, but they stayed friends. However, Anton made it clear they wouldn’t get back together romantically.
Look, it’s definitely not romantic, not even close! As I told Mail Online, we’ve become really good friends, and honestly, trying to turn that into something more would feel…weird. Like dating a sister, you know? It’s just not that kind of connection anymore, and I’m totally okay with that.
Anton competed on the 2024 season of Love Island: All Stars, finishing in fifth place alongside Georgia Harrison. Unfortunately, their relationship didn’t last long after the show.
