Ace was coupled with quickly removedLove Island USAcast memberYulissa Escobar, while Chelley was paired with Austin Shepard. Even so,the pair tried to get to know each other better.
Ace and Chelley came intotheLove Island USAseason 7 premierehaving met before, but made it clear to the other Islanders that they didn’t know each other well. Sharing they’d met in passing, everyone felt like they had more of a spark than others, but left it up to them to explore.It’s possible that Ace & Chelley have been keeping a secret.
Throughout the season,Ace has been seen as one of the few Islanders who are moving through the series like it’s more of a gamethan an experience. While he’s used a lot of language to make it seem otherwise,Ace has been strategic with his votesand relationships. Now, considering there’s something bigger at stake, Ace could’ve made a big mistake.
Ace’s Background With Chelley Made Him An Instant Problem
They Knew Each Other Before Love Island USA
AsLove Island USAseason 7 got underway, viewers got the chance to get to know the Islanders and learn about their lives outside the villa. When Ace came into the villa, where Chelley and several other girls already were,it quickly became clear he’d seen Chelley before. The pair admitted to having met once in New York, when they were both visiting.
WhileChelley and Ace shared that they’d talkedthe night they met and followed one another online, they both explained that there had been nothing more to their brief interaction. TheLove Island USAseason 7 cast moved on, but viewers struggled to believe that was all there was to the story. Instead, many began sleuthing around Ace and Chelley’s social media profiles.
Though there wasn’t much proof about Ace and Chelley having been in contact prior toLove Island USAseason 7, some issues stuck out for viewers. Ace had gone backthrough Chelley’s photos on the social media platformand liked a lot of her content from years past, which some found shady.Others wondered if the pair had been corresponding through DM.

Ace’s Attitude Towards The Women Of The Villa Has Been Horrible
He’s Treated Them With Disrespect
ThroughoutLove Island USAseason 7,Ace has had some terrible moments with his fellow Islanders. While the majority of the male cast has gotten along throughout the season, Ace’s attitude toward the women of the villa has been tough to watch. With his initial match,Yulissa, being kicked out of the villafor her online behavior, Ace started off single.
It’s possible Ace and Chelley could’ve been planning to have a drama-filled summer, but hiding their existing relationship all season long.
This allowed Ace to be blatantly picky about who he talked to and bonded with, andvocal about how he felt regarding the other ladies in the villa. While he was clear that he valued Chelley and Olandria Carthen, who wasmatched up with his friend Taylor Williams, Ace was difficult when it came to other women, especially Huda Mustafa and Amaya Espinal.
Huda, who wasoriginally matched up with Jeremiah Brown, wasn’t someone Ace felt deserved his respect after the way she treated Jeremiah. Rather than allowing her to have her own relationship with him,Ace took the things he’d heard about Huda and Jeremiah and used them to brush her off. Coming off rude and blatantly disrespectful, watching Ace be unkind was off-putting.
Ace’s relationship with Amaya was also a struggleto see, as Amaya and Ace matched up after she entered the villa. While he seemed excited at the idea of getting to know her, Amaya’s personality quickly became overwhelming to Ace. Rather than trying to consider her feelings,Ace was snappy and shut down. Ace rude to Amaya, who was trying to connect with him.
