Love Island USA Season 7 saw its first big drama during the firepit ceremony on June 8, 2025, streamed on Peacock. With fewer men than women on the island, one female contestant was set to leave — and that was Belle-A.
During the ceremony, Nic made his choice clear by coupling up with Cierra. The decision left Belle-A single and ultimately led to her elimination from the villa. The moment was emotional as Belle-A prepared to leave the show, reflecting on what had just happened.
Before Belle-A left, Nic asked to speak with her privately. During their final conversation, Belle-A opened up about how hurt she was but admitted she probably should have seen it coming. Nic apologized for not choosing her and expressed hope that someone else would give her the love she deserves. Despite the pain, Belle-A told him, "It's not my loss," showing her strength even in heartbreak.
As Belle-A packed her bags, the other female islanders comforted her. Chelley even broke down in tears. Belle-A shared how it felt difficult because she felt like she was never anyone’s first choice, not just on the show but in life. The emotional farewell underscored the intense feelings and connections that Love Island USA creates.
Belle-A’s exit marked the second departure of the season after Yulissa Escobar was abruptly removed following resurfaced clips of her making racially charged remarks. Though the network didn’t officially comment, Yulissa apologized publicly on Instagram, acknowledging the hurt her words caused and expressing regret.
