Carsten "Bergie" Bergersen and Taylor Nicole Smith, stars of Love Island USA season 5, are celebrating one year together with sweet messages to each other. The couple, who have been dating long-distance since the show wrapped in 2023, shared tributes on Instagram, reflecting on their journey and expressing their love for each other.
Bergie began his post by saying, "Happy 1 Year Anniversary to the girl who has made me the happiest for the last 365 Days! This past year we have laughed and we have loved." He went on to share stories of their adventures together, including their favorite trip to Fredericksburg, and expressed his gratitude for Taylor's love and support.
Taylor also shared a heartfelt tribute, writing, "This past year has been the craziest most fantastic year I could have ever imagined. If you were to ask me before going on love island 'Do you think you're actually going to find love on the show.' I probably would've said the odds are very slim. But Boy Was I wrong!"
The couple's messages are a testament to their strong connection and commitment to each other, despite the challenges of a long-distance relationship. They have been open about their efforts to make their relationship work, including regular FaceTime calls and monthly visits.
