Love Island USA Season 7 has barely started, but the relationships in the villa already feel shaky. From surprise exits to strategic pairings, here's why most couples aren’t on solid ground yet.
One of the earliest shocks came when Yulissa was removed from the villa after old videos of her surfaced online. This left Ace without a partner and disrupted the natural flow of initial pairings. When one person leaves suddenly, it forces others to quickly rethink their positions and often adds emotional stress.

New Islanders Cierra and Charlie arrived and immediately shifted the mood. Cierra picked Nic, which left Belle-A single and highlighted how fragile early connections are. Charlie didn’t pair right away but made it clear he’s open to exploring—keeping others on edge.

Several early pairings seem more about staying in the game than finding love. Chelley chose Austin, but it looked more like a safe move than real attraction. Her interest in Charlie right after shows how little commitment is behind some couples.

Couples like Olandria and Taylor seem to have connected more because of limited options than real chemistry. Their chats don’t go very deep, making their bond feel weak and likely to break when pressure builds.

Even couples with deeper talks, like Huda and Jeremiah, are still new. Jeremiah connected with Huda after she shared that she has a daughter, but it’s too early to know if their bond can handle what’s ahead.

Love Island is known for recouplings, new contestants, and twists. These constant changes keep the couples in flux. Even strong connections can crack when someone new enters or unexpected things happen.
