Nic Vansteenberghe breaks silence after Love Island USA romance with Olandria Carthen ends

Nic Vansteenberghe confirms split from Olandria Carthen after Love Island USA romance captured fans’ hearts

Love Island USA star Nic Vansteenberghe has broken his silence following his split from fellow reality TV personality Olandria Carthen.

The couple, who became fan favourites after meeting on Love Island USA season 7, have confirmed that they are no longer together.

Vansteenberghe, 25, addressed the breakup in a message shared with his TikTok subscribers, explaining that he wanted to clarify the situation rather than leave fans with false expectations.

“The rumours are true,” Vansteenberghe said in his statement. He added that he and Carthen would “continue to love each other ALWAYS” while asking supporters to respect their privacy during the difficult time.

The reality star explained that he chose to speak directly to fans because of their strong support throughout his journey on the Peacock dating series. His comments were later shared widely across social media, sparking reactions from viewers who followed the couple’s relationship.

Vansteenberghe and Carthen, 28, first met during Love Island USA season 7 in 2025. Their connection quickly grew inside the villa, and they became one of the most popular couples of the season. The pair reached the finale and finished as runners-up, earning a dedicated fanbase.

Following their time on the show, Nic and Olandria continued their relationship outside the villa, with fans closely following their updates online. However, speculation about their romance began after changes in their public appearances and social media activity.

Last month, Carthen also addressed questions about their relationship status, adding to growing speculation surrounding their future as a couple.

While the two have decided to move forward separately, Vansteenberghe’s message highlighted that they still share mutual respect and care for each other.
