'Love Island USA' Finalist Iris Kendall Seen Getting Cozy With Dumped Islander

After returning home from the Love Island villa in Fiji over the weekend, 4th-place finalist Iris Kendall was seen in a loving embrace with ex-Islander TJ Palma — who she was previously coupled up with before he was dumped from the show.

TMZ obtained footage from the pair’s reunion in Los Angeles where they can be seen smiling at each other, hugging, and sharing flirty glances. The outlet also claims that sources informed them Kendall, 25, and Palma, 23, had gone on a two-hour walk and talk before going back to his place, eventually meeting up with fellow ex-Islander, Austin Shepard.

Before Kendall placed 4th overall with Pepe Garcia in the Sunday, July 13, episode of Love Island, she had been coupled up with Palma for the majority of her experience. Palma entered the island on day 14 and was dumped from the island on day 24, leaving Kendall heartbroken and single.

Soon after Palma was dumped, an Instagram post was created with a heart-wrenching photo of Kendall and him together, with “Iris” by Goo Goo Dolls playing in the background. Fans gushed in the comments of the post, one user writing, “THE SONG CHOICE I’M DONE”.

While Kendall was heartbroken over Palma’s dumping, she appeared to move on quickly and grew close with Garcia, even finishing in fourth place in the finale.

But despite making it to the end with Garcia, Kendall wasted no time reuniting with Palma. Sources claim she had her friends drop her off at his apartment so they could talk. While many of the cast flew into Los Angeles, Garcia went straight home to Orange County to spend time with his family and dog.

While Kendall was heartbroken over Palma’s dumping, she appeared to move on quickly and seemed to be getting close with Garcia, even finishing in fourth place in the finale.

Some fans are hoping to see Kendall and Palma work things out and get back together. One stating, “I hope you and Iris find each other when all is said and done."

Others are excited to see if Garcia and ex-Islander Hannah Fields stand a chance at reuniting once more. One user commented on Garcia’s most recent post, “waiting to see you & hannah reunite!!!!”
