Overview
- The pair told viewers they remain together during the Love Island USA reunion that aired Monday, Aug. 31, and backed that update with joint social‑media posts and onstage remarks.
- Their bond on the show followed a rare production twist in which viewers voted to return Casa Amor bombshell Carl to the main villa, giving him a second chance with Aniya.
- Since leaving the island the two have taken a Nantucket getaway, report daily FaceTime and text contact, and say their mothers have become close and message each other frequently.
- Earlier public appearances showed the couple taking a cautious approach to labels, with a Watch What Happens Live appearance describing a strong but untitled connection as they adjust to life outside the villa.
- The biggest immediate challenge is practical: Carl will begin a three‑year physical‑therapy program in Denver, which will force the couple to navigate long distance and decisions about visits, work and family ties going forward.
