'Love Island': Will Connor and Mackenzie get back together? Fans split over duo's recoupling
Mackenzie Dipman and Connor Trott's relationship can be best described as a roller-coaster ride. The duo coupled up on Day 1 and things got intense between the two very fast. Mackenzie was all in, although Connor wasn't entirely sure about their relationship, which often caused friction between them. While Mackenzie's insecure and overtly controlling behavior towards Connor was slammed by fans, they were also unhappy with his indecisiveness. Things were always shaky between the two.
When Casa Amor opened up, the couple was split and given a chance to meet new people. And Mackenzie was quick to seize the opportunity. She spared no time in getting to know the new guys. She was a lot more easy-going and fun around the new guys, especially Jalen Noble. So, it came as no surprise when Mackenzie came to the realization that despite Connor being a great guy, might not be compatible with her. During the recoupling, she went ahead and decided to couple up with Jalen and left Connor. Unfortunately, while the time away made Mackenzie realize that they weren't compatible, Connor had the opposite realization. He realized that he was in love with Mackenzie and decided to stay loyal to her at the Casa and made no connections with any of the new girls.
Connor was shocked and upset when he saw Mackenzie recoupled with Jalen. Just a day into the recoupling, and things quickly went south between Jalen and her. Mackenzie began feeling neglected and ignored by her new beau. So when she confronted him about it, things got awkward very soon. Later, Jalen expressed to her that he didn't like Mackenzie's change in behavior and saw red flags. He also revealed that he would like to keep his options open and explore other connections while he's in the villa. She obviously wasn't pleased with it.
Later Jalen told the boys about his conversation with Mackenzie and the boys encouraged him to stay away from her. They then turned to Connor and asked him if he was sure that he didn't want to couple up with her again. He hesitated a bit before saying he was sure he didn't want to get back to her. But in the cliffhanger for the upcoming episode, we see Connor admitting to Mackenzie that he might be open to getting back with her, while his best friend, Justine Ndiba, seemed unhappy about it. So does it mean that Connor and Mackenzie might get back together? Fans are split over it.
While some fans believe that they should as they are perfect for each other, others believe that Connor is better off without her. A fan tweeted, "You know what, imma say it... I want connor and Mackenzie back together. Jalen is absolute dog sh*t and did a complete 180 within 1 hour of being in the villa. Connor imma need him to talk about his feelings more and be there for kenzie, she's not asking for a lot #loveislandusa." Another fan wrote, "At this point Connor and Mackenzie just need to get back together and come to terms with the fact that they just deserve each other #LoveIslandUSA."
