Erm, an axed Islander just dished on Iris and Pepe’s connection and it’s actually kinda weird
I'm not sure what to think
Is there anything better than getting all the juicy gossip from a dumped Islander?! Gracyn Blackmore is coming in hot and spilling the tea when it comes to her time on Love Island USA. Some people thought it was something of a talent that Pepe Garcia has managed to land himself girl after girl in season seven. And, just when we thought Iris Kendall and Pepe were all sunshine and squats, axed Islander Kendall has entered the chat, and she’s got thoughts.
When it comes to Iris and Pepe’s connection, let’s just say, it’s giving awkward more than soulmates. From love confessions to toe-curling convos, this insider’s take might just make you see the couple in a whole new (and kinda weird) light.
Gracyn breaks her silence on Iris and Pepe
Speaking on the Chicks in the Office podcast, Gracyn was all smiles following her Love Island USA exit.
She dished on how she was not surprised that when she left, Iris and Pepe coupled up.
Gracyn explained: “I was really close with Iris…”
The former Peacock star added how Pepe and Iris “always acted super close,” even when she was in the villa.
Brother and sister?!
Taking things a step further, Gracyn’s take on Iris and Pepe coupling up got kinda weird when she said they were so close it was like they were “best friends,” even “brother and sister.”
Gracyn said the two were always “there for each other” and “confided” in one another in the villa.
“They were bombshells together, so they feel really close, and I always maybe thought that it could be more than that,” she continued.
“It did not surprise me, and I knew that with TJ [Palma] leaving, she was really going to need to have somebody that was there for her.”
There was a tell-tale sign for Gracyn
When it comes to getting a vibe of Iris and Pepe’s connection, Gracyn had one major tell-tale sign.
“I remember walking out with my suitcase and just seeing Iris crying into Pepe’s arm, and I was like ‘yeah, I think that that’s going to happen’,” she said.
Gracyn was then asked if she was surprised that Iris didn’t try to leave with TJ.
“Honestly, no. And I feel like I would’ve been upset with her if she did,” she added.
“Things move so fast in there, but Iris and TJ, they weren’t together during Casa, really they only had a couple days together, and that’s not to discount their connection…
“But, I think Iris would be doing herself a disservice to leave and not explore anything else.”
