"S7 winners"— Love Island USA fans react to Ace and Chelley getting together

Love Island USA season 7 aired a new episode on Tuesday, June 17, 2025. The episode saw another recoupling ceremony during which the islanders decided who they wanted to couple up with, but followed a unique format.

As the women stood behind doors and made their choices, the men made their choices known by standing in front of the door that had the name of the woman they wanted to couple up with.

Ace walked in front of Chelley's door and unlocked it. Since he was able to successfully open the door, it meant Chelley had also chosen him, and the two officially got together as one of the couples on the show.

Fans of Love Island USA season 7 commented on the results of the latest recoupling ceremony online and praised Ace and Chelley's pairing.

"Y'all, LoveIsland S7 winners, ace and chelley," one person wrote on X.
