KC Chandler and Aniya Harvey‘s relationship has taken a turn for the worse on Love Island USA after he threw some shade at their sex life — or lack thereof.
KC made the confession to Corbin Mims, who was having the opposite problem with former flame Kenzie Annis, whom he still wanted to keep pursuing. As for KC, the Islander admitted during the Monday, June 15, episode of the show that he and Aniya “ain’t done s***” despite being paired up the entire time in the villa.
KC then jokingly referred to Aniya as a grandma, adding, “I told her about that. I told her I am a very touchy person.”
The couple addressed their issues later in the episode when Aniya confronted him for blaming her after he couldn’t explore a connection with Sol Dean. While KC claimed Aniya was his first choice, she told him she didn’t feel that way from him — leaving the future of their relationship unclear.
Love Island, which premiered in the U.K. in 2002, follows a different group of singles every season who pair off in order to stay in the show’s luxury villa. The franchise has since expanded worldwide, with spinoffs such as Love Island USA.
The contestants — who are referred to as Islanders — live in isolation in a villa and are under constant video surveillance. They must be coupled up to remain on the show and to stand a chance at receiving the $100,000 prize.
Monday’s episode comes after news broke off screen that producer James Barker died while the show has been filming in Fiji.
The network released a statement after Barker’s death, which read, “ITV America and Peacock will honor in Tuesday’s episode of Love Island USA series executive producer James Barker, who passed away last week in Fiji after suffering an unexpected medical emergency.”
The statement continued: “James’ unimaginable loss has been deeply felt across not just the entire Love Island USA production, but throughout all of ITV and Peacock,” the statement continued. “He was a beloved and greatly valued member of our collective family whose kindness, talent and dedication left an indelible mark on all of us and everyone who had the privilege of knowing and working with him. We extend our heartfelt condolences to James’ partner, family, friends and colleagues.”
According to Barker’s LinkedIn, he joined ITV America in summer 2020. He spent years working on the Love Island franchise before becoming a full-time executive producer earlier this year.
New episodes of Love Island USA are released six days a week — except for Wednesdays — on Peacock.
