Love Island USA's "Chellace" Era Ends: Chelley Bissainthe and Ace Greene Call It Quits

 Love Island USA's Chelley Bissainthe and Ace Greene announce their split

In a bittersweet update that's got fans texting "I texted!" in group chats everywhere, Love Island USA Season 7 favorites Chelley Bissainthe and Ace Greene have officially parted ways. The couple, affectionately dubbed "Chellace" by the villa's die-hards, confirmed their split just five months after the summer finale, proving once again that real-world romance post-Fiji isn't always as smooth as a perfectly timed recoupling.

Chelley, 28, broke the news during a candid interview on SiriusXM's Page Six Radio on December 12, 2025. When asked about future plans like moving in together, she revealed, "Ace and I actually decided to part ways." She described the decision as mutual and tough, saying, "When you love someone, sometimes loving someone means letting go." Chelley emphasized gratitude for their time together, noting, "We're put on this earth to experience people... sometimes it's for a lifetime, and sometimes it's for that moment in time." She kept details private out of respect, focusing instead on healing and growth. Ace, 23, has stayed silent publicly so far, but the pair appear cordial—no unfollows or shady stories in sight.

Their journey started with a twist: The duo had actually met before the villa years earlier in New York, sparking early drama and accusations of "game-playing." But they quickly became a consistent couple, surviving Casa Amor and challenges before being dumped on Day 30—just shy of the finale. Fans loved their vibe, with Chelley (a day trader and model) bringing calm energy and Ace (a dancer and content creator) adding fun flair.
