Love Island USA Season 7 premiered on June 3, 2025, with fans already forming strong opinions about the budding relationship between islanders Chelly and Austin. In the season’s first episode, the two shared a heartfelt conversation about relationships, family values, and their vision for the future.
Despite the apparent connection forming between the two contestants in Love Island USA, viewers on X (formerly Twitter) have been vocal in their disapproval, especially towards Austin. As the pair discussed their ambitions and long-term plans, many fans questioned whether Austin fits Chelly’s standards. The reactions were immediate and harsh. One fan said,
“Get a job! stay away from her!”
“She doesn’t want that rat,” another added.
“Guys lets give Austin a chance I mean he seems to like her lets see how it works out.…,” a user said.
Meanwhile, a fan noted,
“CHELLY RUNNN”
“NOOOOO get awayyy,” one fan commented.
“Now yall know better than to get us to ship Austin and chelley when im voting Austin out first chance I can,” a viewer declared.
“Like I need him out but NEED chelley to stay. We are stuck. This is twisted omg,” a user commented.
“I don’t think so given what we know smh free queen chelley immediately,” one fan said.
“Let’s send a bombshell in for chelley to test it,” another added.
“Except for the box that says white. don’t play we KNOW what he is, and he needs to STAY AWAY from my good sis,” a user mentioned.

Their initial one-on-one conversation revolved around family ideals and ambition — key themes in the Love Island USA format. The show pushes contestants to form deep romantic connections quickly while living together in a secluded villa.
