Love Island USA season 7 returned with episode 3 on June 5, 2025, and things are starting to shift. While the first two episodes focused on initial couplings and bombshell arrivals, episode 3 introduced the season’s first real emotional twist—and Ace Greene was right at the center of it.
In my opinion, Ace’s shift in approach signals a much-needed shake-up in the villa dynamics, especially as some couples begin to show cracks. The episode featured a revealing game where Islanders had to share private statistics from their past relationships.
Jeremiah Brown’s confession that he had told ten women “I love you” in the past raised eyebrows, especially for his current partner Huda Mustafa. Although she brushed it off initially, it became a talking point later among the girls—and Ace didn’t let it slide either.
In a quiet chat with Taylor, Ace opened up about his doubts regarding Jeremiah’s intentions and hinted at confronting him. Whether his concern is purely friendly or something more remains unclear, but it’s evident that Ace is now stepping into a more confrontational role. This development could be exactly what the season needs to move past its early calm.
Ace’s timing couldn’t be better as couples begin to crack in Love Island USA
After the Islanders played a game sharing details about their romantic histories, Jeremiah’s revelation that he had said “I love you” to ten women stood out. At first, Huda didn’t seem too bothered, but later admitted to the other girls that it felt like a red flag. She shared that the fast pace of their connection was starting to feel overwhelming in Love Island USA.
Ace also brought up Jeremiah’s statistic in a chat with the guys, although he didn’t push the topic. Later, in a private conversation with Taylor, Ace circled back to it. He suggested that Jeremiah might be love bombing without even realising it and said the way he locked in with Huda so quickly didn’t sit right with him.
Taylor didn’t add much, but Ace seemed unsettled. His body language and tone suggested he wasn’t just observing from a distance—he might have been building up to something. If he chooses to confront Jeremiah directly, it could affect more than just one relationship.
Ace’s focus on Huda raised questions about his true intentions in Love Island USA
Ace hasn’t openly shown interest in Huda, but his attention to her relationship with Jeremiah stood out. While he had previously been talking to Chelley, episode 3 of Love Island USA showed him more focused on what was going on between Huda and Jeremiah. When speaking with Taylor, he pointed out how fast the pair had moved and questioned whether it was genuine.
He also mentioned how quickly they had closed themselves off from other connections. Ace implied that doing so this early in the process wasn’t natural, and that it might not be sustainable. Though he didn’t directly say he had feelings for Huda, his concern sounded personal.
Meanwhile, Huda was still dealing with the emotional weight of her confession about having a daughter, which she shared at the end of the episode. Jeremiah was surprised by the news, adding even more uncertainty to their connection.
In my opinion, as things begin to shift in the villa, Ace might become more involved—not just as an observer, but as someone ready to change the course of what’s been building.
