‘Love Island USA’ Star Chelley Confirms Shocking Split From Ace Green

Love Island USA fans are reeling after Chelley B confirmed that she and fellow islander Ace Green have officially gone their separate ways.

The reality TV star revealed the unexpected breakup during an interview with Page Six Radio, in a preview clip released on December 12. The announcement caught even the interviewer by surprise, as Chelley admitted the split had not yet been publicly shared.

“So, Ace and I actually decided to part ways,” she said, before acknowledging just how difficult the decision was for both of them.

“Sometimes Loving Someone Means Letting Go”

Chelley, 28, spoke candidly about the emotional weight of the breakup, explaining that it came after many long and heartfelt conversations.

“It really was a tough decision for the both of us,” she shared. “But when you love someone, sometimes loving someone means letting go.”

Rather than pointing to a single issue, Chelley emphasized that the decision was mutual and rooted in respect and honesty. She explained that she and Ace were both committed to trying to work through their challenges before ultimately realizing that separating was the healthiest choice.

“We wanted this to work,” she said. “But sometimes things don’t work. Couples go through very challenging things, and sometimes the best thing to do is make the decision that needs to be made.”

A Mutual Decision Made With Respect

Chelley was careful not to reveal specific details behind the split, but she made it clear that there was no animosity between them.

“We had a lot of conversation,” she explained. “At the end of the day, it was just a mutual agreement that this was for the best.”

She also acknowledged the couple’s devoted fanbase, expressing confidence that supporters would understand the decision.

“I’ve definitely thought about our supporters and our fans,” she said. “But I trust that they’ll understand that this decision needed to be made if we were able to come to it together.”

From Fan Favorites to Real-World Reality

The breakup comes nearly five months after Chelley and Ace were voted off Love Island USA Season 7, just ahead of the finale. At the time, the couple appeared optimistic about their future, telling Access Hollywood that they planned to continue dating outside the villa.

Ace had previously described exclusivity as a serious commitment, explaining that he was intentional about his time on the show and his connection with Chelley.

“I wanted to leave with someone I could see myself with in the real world,” he said at the time. “Not just exclusive in the villa, but exclusive outside.”

Chelley echoed those sentiments, recalling how their relationship grew slowly but deeply.

“It still gives me butterflies,” she said. “We went through a roller coaster, but once we were together, it felt like, ‘This is my person.’”

A Bittersweet Ending

While the split marks the end of a beloved Love Island USA pairing, Chelley’s words suggest a breakup guided by maturity, compassion, and mutual understanding.

Though their romantic journey has ended, fans continue to express support for both Chelley and Ace as they move forward separately — grateful for the connection they shared, even if it wasn’t meant to last.
