Season 7 of Love Island USA gave the win to Amaya Espinal and Bryan Arenales, but it’s Nic Vansteenberghe and Olandria Carthen, everyone’s favorite “Nicolandria” – who still seem to have everyone rooting for them with their real and honest connection.
What started in the villa for Nic and Olandria didn’t just fade with the cameras. Their bond kept growing stronger in the real world, especially after people saw them together; like on that Disneyland trip everyone seemed to talk about.
Years ago, she tweeted about wanting a Disney date. And now, here they were, actually living that dream together. What started on TV had turned into something real.
Nic Introduced Olandria to EDM and Their Relationship Took Off
Nic’s love for electronic dance music gave their story a spark that made it truly stand out. People on social media have been buzzing that Nic was slipping his favorite EDM tracks and DJ sets to Olandria when no one was really watching. Everyone was talking about how Nic brought Olandria into the EDM scene with his DJ performances.
They might have been surrounded by chaos, but when their favorite music played, they were in their own little world.
Public Scrutiny, Private Chemistry
Some people doubted their love story, but Nic and Olandria stood their ground and responded with quiet strength. After the show, in a quiet chat, they shared with a smile, “What we have is real. We know it.” They said their love story just sort of wrote itself after Casa Amor, like no one was holding the pen but everything fell into place. They also talked about how they want to introduce their families soon and deal with all the gossip directly.
The Emotional Fallout for Ex Cierra
There were people who just didn’t get the emotions behind their love. Cierra Ortega, who was Nic’s first partner in the villa, shared that she felt invisible after they broke up.
In some honest videos she posted online, she shared how much it hurt to see Nic and Olandria together and said neither of them reached out to her once she left the show. She revealed, “We don’t stand on any business.”
The hurt she feels says a lot about how whirlwind romances can weigh heavy on the heart and how starting over isn’t always easy when the past still lingers.
Why Team Nicolandria Resonates?
What makes this couple click isn’t just their slow and steady love story, but also how their taste in music fits so well together. It was Nic’s DJing that opened the door for Olandria into the EDM scene, and now it’s something they genuinely enjoy together.
There’s a certain charm they bring that gives their journey more meaning than the usual Love Island drama. I was genuinely interested as I watched their story unfold. The way music brought them together felt so real, like when two people stumble on the same playlist and slowly fall for each other with every song.
After leaving the villa, the way they shared little moments on TikTok lives and interviews made their love story feel real and heartwarming.
Final Word: Their Love Goes Beyond the Villa
Nicolandria didn’t bag the grand prize, but what they’ve got instead is something way more special: natural chemistry, people who genuinely support them, and a shared dream that keeps them close. What makes their story so layered is how openly they talk about being judged, the songs that shaped them, and the emotional mess they went through.
What started in a fancy villa has slowly turned into a love story that lives on through Disney outings, Instagram chats, and family get-togethers. And somehow, it keeps changing shape.
According to someone close, their connection still touches hearts long after the show wrapped up.
