'Love Island USA' Season 5 islander Carsten 'Bergie' Bergersen is not single anymore

PACIFIC HARBOUR, FIJI: 'Love Island USA' Season 5 viewers had an ultimate ride of entertainment especially after the islanders headed to Casa Amor to meet new bombshells.

Multiple islanders pursued new romances while some of them, including Kassy Castillo and Vickala 'Kay Kay' Gray remained committed to their villa partners.

However, the latest recoupling changed things for Carsten 'Bergie' Bergersen, who was single since 'Love Island USA' Season 5 kicked off.

Casa Amor bombshell Taylor Nicole Smith who showed her interest in Bergie from the day she entered the villa ended up coupling up with him.

Bergie has been single on the show after failing to couple up with anyone and striking out with other contestants, including Carmen Kocourek earlier in the season. But things appear to be changing for him.

After multiple failed attempts and being friend-zoned, Bergie finally found someone in the villa. During the Casa Amor twist, Bergie met two new bombshells, Taylor and Allie Ryan.

While Allie friend-zoned Bergie, Taylor opted to explore the connection with him. Notably, during a raunchy challenge, Bergie and Taylor were sent into the hideaway and had a steamy night together.

After spending exciting days and nights, Bergie decided to couple up with Taylor during the latest re-coupling twist.
