CoCo and Ace get to know each other better ahead of the latest Love Island USA season 7 recoupling

In Love Island USA season 7 episode 20, Ace and CoCo had a private conversation and discovered they were from the same city. The Casa Amor bombshell offered to show him around after the show.

CoCo told Ace they could chill after the show, and if they had free time, they could go ziplining or go on a "cute little" boat ride. She told the Love Island USA season 7 islander that she liked to paint and asked Ace about his hobbies.

Ace told the Love Island USA Casa Amor bombshell that he liked "artsy" things, including spray painting.

"I love that, you're cool," CoCo said.

In a confessional, the Love Island USA season 7 bombshell revealed her perspective of Ace and said that he had a hard exterior but was "soft and squishy" on the inside. She added that he needed the "right person" and said that it would be great if she could be it, but so far, she was open to exploring a connection with Ace and Taylor both.

CoCo asked the Love Island USA star if he was someone who was into dating multiple people at the same time, and Ace said that he would let his partner know if they had reached the point of exclusivity and said that communication was a big thing for him.

CoCo said she was "intentional" about dating and said that if she were to date someone, she would want to marry them. Ace was in agreement while CoCo added that she wasn't trying to "f*ck around."

"I see you," Ace said.

Fans of season 7 commented on the conversation online and urged Ace's original partner, Chelley, to stick with the new bombshell, Chris, and forget about Ace.
