Love Island USA Season 7 alum Chelley Bissainthe is officially single again — and she’s taking the high road.

The reality star confirmed that she and Ace Greene have split during an interview with SiriusXM’s Page Six Radio, previewed on Friday, December 12. Chelley didn’t sugarcoat how tough the decision was, but she kept the tone classy.

“It really was a tough decision for the both of us and very hard to decide, but, you know, when you love someone, sometimes loving someone means letting go,” Chelley, 28, explained. “So I think we just got to that decision.”

She added that the two reached a “mutual level of respect and understanding that, you know, we wanted this to work, but sometimes things don’t work,” noting, “Couples go through things that are very challenging and sometimes the best thing to do is just, you know, make a decision that needs to be made.”

The pair became one of season 7’s standout couples after sparking a connection on the show, which began in June and wrapped in August. They made it official in the villa and left the island together on Day 30 — and fans immediately shipped them hard.
