Overview
- Multiple outlets reported on Wednesday that Olandria Carthen and Nic Vansteenberghe have decided to end their roughly one-year relationship after meeting on Love Island USA Season 7.
- An unnamed source told People that the breakup was driven by distance and the couple's busy, conflicting schedules, which made it hard to sustain their connection.
- The insider said the pair still remain close friends and share deep mutual respect, and no public statements from the couple’s representatives have been published in these reports.
- Carthen and Vansteenberghe left the Season 7 villa as a couple after finishing second and had kept much of their post‑show relationship private, with Carthen recently saying they avoided posting to prevent 'monetizing' their romance.
- Page Six noted it contacted the pair’s representatives for comment and the split highlights the common pressure on reality‑TV couples from travel, work demands and social‑media scrutiny that can affect post‑show relationships.
