Love IslandUSAseason 7 sparked drama from day one, when Chelley Bissainthe and Ace Greene realized they already knew each other, but Chelley may have known some otherLove Island USAseason 7 cast membersbefore she entered the villa. Unlike shows likeLove Is BlindandMarried At First Sightthat cast each season out of one city,Love Islandfinds people from all over the country and the world. This season, most of the islanders are from the United States, but bombshell Charlie Georgiou is a British man living in Australia.
Love Islanddiffers from Netflix’sSneaky Links, a dating show where every cast member entered the motel with their situationship. OnLove Island, everyone is supposed to be a stranger to each other. It’s very odd that, despite global casting, multipleLove Island USAseason 7cast members knew each other before they entered the villa.
Will Their Spark Ignite Once Again?
As soon as Ace entered the villa, he and Chelley recognized each other. Love Island USA season 7 wasn’t the first time the two had crossed paths. Ace and Chelley met in New York City outside a club, according to Ace. The two had talked on Instagram, but the relationship never progressed. After all, Ace lives in California and Chelley spends most of her time in Florida.

Chelley And Amaya Are Instagram Mutuals
Are They Friends In Real Life?
Chelley has been sticking up forAmaya Espinal, and there may be a good reason for that. Amaya entered the house as a bombshell and was immediately interested in Jeremiah Brown, but he’s been coupled up with Huda Mustafa from day one. Huda was extremely upset that another woman would make a move on her man, but Chelley wasn’t the sympathetic ear Huda likely wanted.
Chelley was right to play devil’s advocate.
After all, theLove Island USAcasthas only been in the villa for a week. It doesn’t make sense for Huda and Jeremiah to be so serious when they barely know each other. If they continue to close themselves off like they’ve been doing, they may miss out on an even better connection. Chelley made it clear to Huda that Amaya has every right to talk to Jeremiah if she wants to.
However, Chelley may also have defended Amaya because of their preexisting friendship. Unbeknownst to the rest of the villa,Chelley and Amaya followed each other on Instagramlong before they started filmingLove Island USAseason 7. Over three months ago, Chelley commented heart-eye emojis on one of Amaya’s feed posts. Amaya lives in New York City and Chelley spends a lot of time there, so it stands to reason that they’ve crossed paths before.
Taylor’s Ex Was Almost Cast
The Love Island USA Drama Is Messy
Last week, a woman namedShelby Mayfieldtook to TikTok to claim she had previously dated Taylor Williams while filming a different, unaired reality show. Shelby comes from a rodeo family, so she was likely attracted to Taylor’s cowboy vibe. She also claimed that the show she and Taylor had filmed together was produced by the same company that makesLove Island.
So far, Shelby has not been cast onLove Island USAseason 7. That being said, with new bombshells entering the villa every few days, it’s possible she could make an appearance this summer. It would be interesting to see Taylor’s reaction if someone he knows enters the house. Viewers will also have to wait to see if Chelley and Ace’s former relationship helps them connect further in the villa.
Love Island USAairs new episodes on Peacock at 9 p.m. EDT daily, except Wednesdays.
