Marco Donatelli and Hannah Wright were accused of 'plotting' to win 'Love Island USA' 

Marco Donatelli and Hannah Wright were the ideal couple in the villa, remaining loyal to each other through every challenge. Marco was an OG islander, while Hannah joined as a bombshell on Day 3. The pair formed an immediate connection and coupled up during the next recoupling ceremony.

Marco and Hannah hit a rod bump when his ex-girlfriend, Hannah Ortega, showed up for a date in a Casa Amor twist. Despite the potential for drama, their bond remained strong, and they continued to stay committed to each other. Watching the duo's whirlwind romance sparked accusations all over social media that they were plotting just to be in the show. However, they have proven the skeptics wrong by remaining together and celebrating their first anniversary.
