The Love Island USA season seven castmates' relationship has been going strong since they left the villa last summer, but it took a while for their bombshell romance to blossom—30 episodes, to be exact.
Despite their slow burn, signs of romance were certainly there when they first locked eyes—and lips—in Fiji. After all, the OG season seven islanders shared a passionate kiss before Olandria ultimately decided to pair up with Taylor Williams .
“Nic and I have always had a thing for each other since day one. I kissed him on day one,” Olandria, 27, recalled in an interview with Variety published in July. “Just because I didn't choose to go with him does not mean that spark wasn't there. It took us some time to get to this point. But that's what makes this connection so special. We've been building up to this point.”
Even after they coupled up with other islanders, Nic, who initially partnered with Bell-A Walker , secretly went in for another smooch during their first challenge. Since Olandria was blindfolded during the chemistry-packed kiss, she had no idea Nic planted the peck until the end of their time in the villa. And looking back, he believes if he revealed his identity sooner, “everything would have been different.”
“I don't know exactly what it would be,” the 24-year-old told TODAY.com in an interview published in July, “but every decision we've made has led us to here, and I wouldn't change anything about that.”
And Casa Amor put that chemistry on display. With the guys at the villa and the girls at Casa, both Nic and Olandria struggled to find new connections, resulting in Nic rescuing Olandria from Casa for a romantic date where they were presented with an ultimatum: couple up or go home single.
