Islamabad, June 12, 2025: Love Island continues to stir headlines as the latest recoupling ceremony took a sharp turn, sending shockwaves through both the villa and its growing fan base. A decision by Ace Greene during Episode 8 has drawn widespread criticism, leaving many questioning his authenticity on the reality dating show.
After weeks of visible chemistry and emotional rapport with fellow Islander Chelley Bissainthe, Ace abruptly shifted course by selecting Amaya Espinal as his new partner. The unexpected move, which blindsided not only Chelley but several contestants, quickly escalated tensions in the villa and ignited debate across social platforms.
Online discussions, particularly on X, were quick to criticize the shift in allegiance. Several viewers described Ace’s actions as “calculated” and “insincere,” with others questioning whether his intentions on Love Island were ever genuine. “It feels like he’s playing the game, not building relationships,” read one post that gained significant traction.
The tension did not go unnoticed among the Islanders. Amaya Espinal openly voiced concern over what she perceived as Ace’s unpredictability, while Austin Shepard, who had been steadily building a bond with Chelley expressed disbelief over the abrupt decision. His reaction suggested that Ace’s choices may have disrupted more than one emotional connection in the villa.

The atmosphere became even more charged during a challenge dubbed “Pucker or Pie,” which tested loyalties and forced contestants into emotionally revealing situations. Ace found himself at the center of the controversy yet again, as fellow contestants hinted he may be more interested in incoming “bombshells” than forming real connections. The term “clout chaser” was even thrown his way.
In a moment that left many speechless, Ace planted an unanticipated kiss on Chelley in front of the group, raising eyebrows and deepening the divide. For Austin, the gesture added confusion to an already strained situation, while Chelley appeared torn between past bonds and present complications.
