On Sunday, Cierra Ortega was removed from the Love Island Season 7 villa . Cierra faced backlash after her racist social media posts resurfaced. She was paired with Nic Vansteenberghe in the villa. After Cierra exited, Nic admitted to feeling ‘lost.’ However, he went ahead to explore a new connection with Oliandra, which prompted a slew of social media reactions.
Nic and Oliandra pair up

After Cierra exited, Nic said, “Right before Cierra had left, my mind was clear. I knew what the future would look like and now I'm lost. I don't know but I will have to figure it out from here.” Olandria Carthen comforted him, and he said, “Olandria, I know she has my back no matter what. I've always appreciated her fierce loyalty. I think she is someone I just enjoy spending my time with and that's what I'm looking for.”
Then, during the re-coupling, Oliandra chose Nic and said, "I would like to couple up with this boy because he's always expressed how much he values me as a person, valued our bond. He has a crazy, quirky personality and I've loved him from the moment that I met him. Super excited to spend the rest of my days with this person."
