Love Island USA season 7 has been full of ups and downs, but after Casa Amor coming to an end and the villa bringing everyone together, the Islanders connections are still shifting. Throughout Love Island USA season 7, the majority of the Islanders have struggled to move through their relationships with ease. After the heart rate challenge, Chelley Bissainthe’s relationships have changed considerably.
While she’s still coupled up with Ace Greene, their relationship has been rocky as she’s explored continuing a connection with Chris Seeley, who she met during Casa Amor week. The Love Island USA season 7 cast’s resident crash out queen, Huda Mustafa, is currently coupled up with Chris, and had an incident involving Ace during the heart rate challenge. This has put Chelley on edge.
Throughout the most recent episode, the Islanders were aware that they needed to clear the air before they could move forward. Even Elan Bibas, who connected with Cierra Ortega during Casa Amor, struggled to move ahead without talking to Cierra’s original match, Nic Vansteenberghe. As the relationships shifted, the Islanders started getting ready for the next move of the season.
Chelley Brushed Huda Off After The Heart Rate Challenge
She Wasn’t Interested In Huda’s Apology
Although Chelley and Ace’s turn during the heart rate challenge saw her circling back to kiss Chris more than once, she took issue with the way Huda went about approaching Ace. While Huda’s moves were definitely more explicit than some of the other Islanders, Chelley was hurt on a surprising level. Despite knowing Huda was playing a game, Chelley took it personally.
Sharing that she didn’t want to talk to Huda after the challenge, she took the following day to decompress. Sharing with both Cierra and Olandria Carthen that she was hurt by the way Huda behaved, she decided by the time the episode of was over that she would be cordial to her former friend, but they didn’t need to continue to be cluse.

The Couple Closed Things Off
Early in the episode, Nic and Cierra spoke about their connection, and Nic then went on to talk to Cierra’s Casa connection Elan about the way he’d performed in the heart rate challenge. While Elan had gone into the challenge hopeful that he would be able to explore more of a connection with Cierra, Nic’s feelings quickly put an end to it.
Nic and Cierra were ultimately invited on a date that took them out of the villa together for the first time. The pair were able to go for a bike ride through the hills of Fiji, and then had a picnic overlooking a beautiful cliff. The couple talked about their feelings and hopes for the future, making it clear they were ready for commitment.
As the date continued, the pair were open about wanting to stop exploring other connections in the villa. Ultimately, moving on from their former connections and flings, Nic and Cierra decided to close their relationship off from anyone else. Moving forward, they’ll only be exploring each other in the Love Island USA villa.
