For her part, Chelley, 27, came into the villa knowing she wanted to take full advantage of the experience by getting to know each and every contestant.
“It’s about exploring and getting to know other people,” she told the outlet. “I wanted to explore everybody. I wanted to make that clear from day one. The girls did too. Not everybody did it, but I always pushed the idea that we should explore each other’s connections too.”
As for what’s next for Chelley and Ace? Well, since they deemed themselves “exclusive” right before leaving Fiji during the July 11 episode, the couple expects their relationship to long outlast their time in the villa.
“We are going to take our time day by day,” Ace shared. “We are still getting to know each other outside of villa life. Life is completely different from what America gets to see. I’m excited to grow our relationship and improve our communication.”
