Breakups in Love Island USA are nothing new. But this time, something hit differently. When I saw the way Nic treated Cierra, flip-flopping between her and Belle-A like a contestant in a game show instead of a person with real feelings. I couldn’t help but think Cierra is truly better off without him.
Their relationship with Love Island USA started with a promise. He left Belle-A to pursue her. At first, it felt like a bold move for love. But it didn’t take long before that so-called boldness looked more like indecision disguised as passion. I kept waiting for Nic to show some maturity, and some self-awareness. But every time he spoke, it became more obvious that he had no idea what he actually wanted. Meanwhile, Cierra, despite being thrown into a whirlwind, tried to handle things with grace.
Love Island USA journey: Chemistry, choices, consequences
Cierra’s entrance into Love Island USA was electric. She’s stunning, confident, and has the kind of magnetic presence that immediately makes you sit up and pay attention. Naturally, Nic was drawn to her, and I don’t blame him. What I do blame him for is the way he handled everything after that.
He ditched Belle-A without much warning and jumped into a new connection with Cierra. Sure, Love Island USA is a dating show, and coupling up is part of the format. But the way Nic made that transition, without closure, and with a total lack of accountability, was uncomfortable to watch. Belle-A was blindsided. Viewers were confused. And it felt like Nic was more into the thrill of the new than the responsibility of being honest.
It quickly became clear that his idea of loyalty was shaky at best. When someone moves that fast without real reflection, you have to wonder if it’s about love or just ego. From the moment he chose Cierra, it felt like a test he wasn’t ready to take.
Nic's indecision: splitting focus between Cierra and Belle-A
It didn’t take long for cracks to show. Nic was kissing Belle-A one moment and Cierra the next. And when he was confronted by Cierra about it, his response was,
“I was going back and forth with that… it kind of just happened.”
That sentence has haunted me.
"It kind of just happened"
is the go-to excuse for someone who doesn't want to take responsibility. It’s not that he made a mistake; people make mistakes. It’s that he didn’t own it. Instead of being upfront with either woman, he kept trying to smooth things over with charm and vague explanations. Watching it play out, I couldn’t help but feel like Cierra was being played. It’s one thing to be confused.
It’s another thing to involve two women in your confusion, hurt both of them, and still act like you’re the victim. Nic didn’t need to be perfect, but he did need to be clear, and he wasn’t.
Cierra confronting Nic: strength under pressure
What impressed me most was how Love Island USA's Cierra handled everything. She confronted him directly, asking,
“Were you ever planning to tell me about your kiss with Belle-A in soul-ties?”
Her tone wasn’t angry. It was disappointing, which is so much worse.
She wasn’t trying to cause drama on Love Island USA. She just wanted honesty. And that’s what made her reaction so admirable. She showed grace, maturity, and restraint in a situation that would have driven many people to scream. She acknowledged the connection they had but also called out the double standards.
Her ability to balance empathy with strength showed me she was operating on another level. She didn’t let her feelings cloud her judgment. She gave Nic a chance to explain himself, even when he didn’t deserve it. That’s real growth, and it made me respect her even more.
Why Cierra is better off without Nic
Let’s be honest, Nic’s charm wore thin pretty quickly. The minute someone’s go-to explanation is, “it kind of just happened,” I check out. That’s not how relationships work. Things don’t just happen. People make choices. And Nic’s choices were messy, thoughtless, and selfish.

Cierra, on the other hand, kept her head high on Love Island USA. She asked the hard questions. She didn’t stoop to pettiness or get dragged into drama just for the cameras. And when it was time to stand up for herself, she did it with honesty and vulnerability.
That’s why I think she’s better off without him. She deserves someone who sees her clearly and treats her with respect. Someone who doesn’t need to be reminded that she’s enough. And most of all, someone who doesn’t treat her heart like it’s part of a game.
