"I do want to get to know you" — Chelley talks to Ace about their chemistry after Yulissa steals him in Love Island USA season 7 premiere

In the Love Island USA season 7 premiere, the first coupling ceremony bound Ace and Yulissa together after the latter stole him from Chelley. However, the cast members who had previously met outside the show sat down for a conversation and discussed how the ceremony unfolded.

Ace told Challey he believed fate had brought them together on Love Island USA, stating what the odds were of that happening. Chelley told him she wasn't going to pick him at first, and the male season 7 islander said he "felt" that.

Chelley explained that she didn't want to be biased but knew in her gut that she wanted to pick him. Ace said it was because she was probably comfortable, and the Love Island USA cast member said it was also her feeling attracted towards him.

"I do want to get to know you, but I'm like, damn, like you got took," she added.

Ace asked Chelley if she felt "some type of way" about Yulissa kissing him, and she said she "really wasn't upset" because she understood that was the process of the Peacock reality show. However, Ace admitted to having a different reaction to seeing Chelley kiss someone else.

"I mean, I do know, obviously there's something there, something I don't know, maybe it could be minuscule, yeah I don't know, but I am mindful of that, and I don't want to pretend," Ace said.

The male reality star said he felt the same way, and they agreed to see what happens next.

Fans commented on Ace and Chelley's chemistry online and were upset by Yulissa stealing the male islander from Chelley.

Episode 1 of Love Island USA season 7 will air on Wednesday, June 4, 2025, on Peacock.
