MAMANUCA ISLANDS, FIJI: 'Love Island USA' Season 6 recoupling intensified as islanders made unexpected partner choices. During the first recoupling ceremony, Hannah Smith chose to continue exploring her connection with Kendall Washington, despite having a strong bond with the bombshell, Hakeem White.
However, Olivia Walker aka Liv chose Hakeem White to couple up saving him from the elimination. While Hakeem was excited that Liv had chosen him, he was disappointed by Hannah's decision to ditch him. He shared his disappointment and noted, "I'm just not here for anybody being not upfront."
Hakeem elaborated, "Like waking up this morning I was like, 'Hannah's already feeling Kendall much more' just from the actions that she was exhibiting. Didn't align with what she was saying." He also noted that he had expected Hannah to share her feelings with him before announcing her decision.
However, Hannah insisted that she had previously told Hakeem that Kendall was her "number one," but she also wanted to get to know the bombshell as well. Hakeem slammed Hannah for lying and claimed "She said, 'I'm 50-50 from last night to this morning to literally two seconds ago.'"
