Love Island USA stars Ace Greene and Chelley Bissainthe have been a hot topic since the start of the seventh season.
Fans have been hooked on their alleged “slow burn” romance story, but according to sources, the couple were already in a serious relationship before entering Love Island.
When Ace revealed that he had met Chelley before their on-camera introduction, the show’s host, Ariana Madix, looked just as intrigued as the audience.
Chelley quickly filled in the details, explaining that their paths first crossed in January while she was in L.A. celebrating a friend’s birthday outside a club. Since then, she added, they’d exchanged a few direct messages, but their communication had not progressed beyond that.
Now the pair are making waves again after a person claiming to be a friend of the pair took to Instagram to spill what they say are the couple’s “secrets,” alleging that Ace and Chelley had been romantically involved long before the show began filming.
According to the post, the duo didn’t just “bump into each other” in January, as they claimed on air. Instead, the source suggests they’ve known each other much longer and may have even worked together previously, as they both work in the entertainment industry.

The so-called friend didn’t stop there. They also alleged the two were “already being intimate,” and that Chelley had met all of Ace’s friends before ever stepping into the villa.
“Chelley’s not entertaining anyone else in the villa because she’s already with Ace,” the post reads. “She’s sitting back letting him run his play.”
Ace and Chelley have not responded to the allegations as they are currently couple up inside the Love Island villa.
