Love Island USA stars Cierra and Elan share what they want in a relationship
Love Island USA season 7 episode 20 continued Casa Amor week, as the original contestants got to know the new bombshells.
Initially, Cierra wasn't fully open to the Casa Amor concept as she still had herself locked onto her partner Nic. However, with time, she started to let her walls down a bit. She seemed genuinely excited during her conversation with Elan, actively engaging with him and asking thoughtful questions.
When Cierra asked Elan about his past relationships, the Love Island USA Casa Amor bombshell revealed that his first serious one was when he was in college and that it lasted over three years. He then said he was in two other relationships, one of which ended at the end of 2024. He then moved to Miami, where he started afresh.
The Love Island USA star noted that he now felt like he had established himself and was ready to go out of his way for someone. Additionally, he said that he believed that relationships were built on shared experiences and emphasized that he needed that to feel connected with someone.
Cierra chimed in, telling Elan that she loved that aspect about him. She believed that the ideology fit well with her, as she noted she was the type of person who liked to just show up, "vibe," and have a good time.
Further in their conversation, Elan emphasized that independence was important for him in a relationship and that he wanted to be able to do his own thing and let his partner do their thing. However, he noted that he also wanted to have a shared thing between him and his partner.
Cierra only had positive things to say about her conversation with Elan. In her confessional, she shared that five minutes into their conversation, she was surprised by how well it was going. Considering the situation, she shared that she would try her best not to let her thoughts wander back to what Nic was doing in the main villa.
