Rumours Swirl around Love Island USA's Ace and Chelley amid claims of secret marriage
-NBC.
Speculation has intensified online over Love Island USA contestants Ace Greene and Chelley Bissainthe, following claims that the pair may have known each other long before entering the villa — and may even be secretly married with a child.
The rumour, which has spread on platforms including X and Facebook, alleges that Ace and Chelley have been married for two years and share a toddler, all while concealing their relationship from the show’s producers.

The claims, attributed to an anonymous post circulating online, suggest the couple joined the reality show to “test their bond” and potentially gain exposure for future projects, such as a podcast or brand deal. However, there is no concrete evidence supporting the theory, and fans have pointed out that if the claims were true, documents like a marriage licence would likely have surfaced by now.

Viewers of Love Island USA noted that Ace and Chelley had admitted to meeting once before the show — an interaction in Los Angeles in January, which Chelley explained occurred during a friend’s birthday celebration. Since then, they reportedly exchanged occasional messages, but both have denied being in a prior relationship.
Some fans remain sceptical. Social media users have unearthed an old livestream in which Ace appeared to mention Chelley’s name in a Valentine’s message. Others claim Chelley has been previously introduced to Ace’s friends, with accusations suggesting they had already been intimate before entering the villa. One unverified source even alleged that Chelley is intentionally avoiding romantic connections on the show to support Ace’s game plan.
Despite the theories, friends of the contestants have publicly dismissed the rumours, stating that any past connection was casual and limited by distance. Supporters argue that the online speculation is unfounded and possibly exaggerated by anonymous users seeking attention.
