Love Island USA season 7 stars Pepe Garcia and Iris Kendall have confirmed they have broken up. The couple first caught attention as bombshell contestants on the show, and fans loved their chemistry in the villa.
Rumors about their split started after Iris posted a picture on social media with a cookie and a crying face, writing, “LOL, thank you for this, @funnyfacebakery.”
Pepe spoke to TMZ about the breakup, saying, “Iris and I are not together anymore. That’s just the way it goes.” He addressed the cheating rumors as well, adding, “My friends and family are the people that support me; they know who I am as a person, and that’s honesty. That’s the biggest, the most important thing.”
Fans noticed that Iris and Pepe had unfollowed each other on social media, and Iris removed all posts of them together from her Instagram. She also shared pictures of a sunset with Fleetwood Mac’s Silver Spring playing, which many interpreted as a hint about the breakup. Despite the split, both appeared together on the reunion episode.
Earlier, Iris had told People Magazine about their relationship, saying, “Obviously, with how everything blew up, we’re just trying to make it as normal as possible and take things like we normally would have two months ago. We just want to be together and hang out together and just see what happens.”
Love Island USA season 7 is available to stream on Peacock.
