Chelley Bissainthe is walking back a very public confession.
Just weeks after confirming that she and Ace Greene had split, the Love Island USA breakout star says she wishes she had kept the breakup out of the spotlight.
The reality star first revealed the breakup earlier this month during an interview with SiriusXM’s Page Six Radio, confirming that she and Greene, whom she met and fell for on season 7 of Love Island USA, were no longer together. The pair continued dating after leaving the villa and became a favorite among fans who followed their relationship online.
On Friday, Bissainthe returned to X with a more reflective tone, thanking supporters for their kindness but admitting she felt uneasy about how the news was shared. “
Moments like these are meant to be worked through in real life.. not online.

And right now my priority is peace, boundaries, and protecting what matters to me.
Thank you guys
I’ve been sitting with a lot of feelings, and one of them is regret for speaking publicly about something so personal before I really gave myself the time and care it deserved,” she wrote.
She added that a breakup is something meant to be “worked through in real life.. not online,” especially when emotions are still raw.
Bissainthe also addressed the pressure that comes with being part of a highly watched reality TV couple, echoing sentiments shared by fellow cast members about the toll of constant fan scrutiny.
I love & appreciate those who’ve been so loving, supportive & kind. It really means so much
