Love Island USA season 7 episode 7 aired on June 9, 2025, continuing the fallout from the first recoupling. A major moment in the episode was when Olandria told the group that Nic had kissed Belle-A shortly before the recoupling, despite choosing to pair up with Cierra. The information led to a conversation between Cierra and Nic, where she asked for clarity about his intentions.
During their talk, Cierra said:
“I can’t continue on if that’s how you’re gonna move,"
Nic explained that the kiss was meant as a goodbye gesture, but the timing caused confusion. The situation created unease in the villa and raised questions about trust and communication.
Other Islanders also began facing challenges. Amaya expressed doubts about her connection with Ace, and Taylor spoke about not feeling a strong bond with Olandria. Meanwhile, Jeremiah and Huda spent time outside the villa, having their first one-on-one date away from the rest of the group.

Cierra questions Nic while Olandria drops the kiss reveal in Love Island USA
The main focus of this episode of Love Island USA was the conversation between Cierra and Nic after Olandria shared that Nic had kissed Belle-A before the recoupling. The moment came as a surprise to Cierra, who had just chosen to move forward with Nic as her partner. After hearing the news, she asked Nic for an explanation about what the kiss meant and why he hadn’t told her.
“Did you not think I was ever gonna find out?” Cierra asked during their talk.
Nic responded that the kiss with Belle-A was a goodbye and not something that should affect his new connection. However, Cierra expressed concern that she was not told earlier and questioned how serious Nic really was.
Olandria, who revealed the information to the group, said that she deserved to know the news. Some Islanders supported her choice to speak up, while others felt it added more pressure during an already tense time.
As Cierra took a step back to think, Nic was left unsure of how their connection would move forward after the reveal.
