Love Island USA Season 7's Nic was initially paired with Belle-A. But soon, he had a target on his back after he decided to partner up with a newly arrived bombshell, Cierra. His decision to be with Cierra stirred a lot of emotions, drama, and unexpected follow-up incidents.

It started with him leaving Belle-A vulnerable and emotional, which was not going to result in the good dynamics between fellow female cast members and Nic. Many viewers, as well as his fellow Islanders, saw this move as a betrayal.

Since the Islanders entered the villa and partnered with their potential connections on Love Island USA, their connections were supposed to grow as they connected. But, before that could happen, Nic went on to connect with a new bombshell, and left Belle-A emotional and alone. Did you also think that it was the worst move by Nic?


Love Island USA Season 7: Nick decided to pursue his connection with a new bombshell, Cierra, which stirred up quite the drama

After the first coupling ceremony on Love Island USA Season 7, Nic and Belle-A were a couple. Based on their initial interactions, they found each other to be compatible. With mutual interests and chemistry between them, they were one of the couples to look out for in the villa.

However, it all ended soon after the show introduced two new bombshells, one of which was Cierra. Before her arrival, Belle-A and Nic's connection was going quite well. The two had a budding relationship that could have been so much more, but it didn't move forward. Why? Because Nic decided to pursue Cierra.

Love Island USA Season 7's day 2 introduced Charlie and Cierra, which stirred up the couple's dynamics in the villa. Despite having a good connection with Belle-A, Nic wanted to pursue Cierra. When he chose her during the next re-coupling ceremony, it was an unexpected move.

Not only fellow Islanders, but also fans were shocked after seeing such an unexpected decision coming from Nic. Many fans criticized Nic for abruptly ending his relationship with Belle-A, who was clearly invested in their relationship. Later on, viewers also witnessed how Belle-A felt when she opened up to Huda.

As he pursued Cierra, Nic didn't know what implications his decisions would leave behind. He not only hurt Belle-A and broke his relationship with her, but also broke the trust of fellow Islanders who knew how his and Belle-A's connection was going.

It also raises questions regarding Nic's seriousness about finding a genuine connection while staying within the villa. Why? Because he already had quite a strong connection with Belle-A, and if given a chance, it would have blossomed into something more.

But none of that happened because of one decision Nic made. It wasn't received well among Love Island USA fans either. Because fans witnessed how upset and sad Belle-A was about Nic's decision, it was frankly heartbreaking.

While she was also looking forward to a genuine connection, Nic didn't seem to be on the same page. He just went on pursuing something new rather than the strong connection he already had with Belle-A.
