With a $100,000 prize for the winning couple, 'Love Island' Season 3 seems to be a magnet not just for singles looking for love, but also some money-hungry people. 'Love Island' Season 3 might be just two episodes old, but fans are already beginning to dig up the dirt on the contestants. After exposing Christian Longnecker as a potential Trump supporter and circulating rumors about Melvin 'Cinco' Holland Jr already having a girlfriend, the fans have turned their attention towards the latest couple in the villa- Kyra Lizama and Will Moncada.

Kyra, a Hawaiian native managed to quickly become a fan favorite thanks to her stunning looks. While scrolling through her Instagram page, a hawk-eyed fan noticed that Kyra and Will already know each other, as he liked one of her pictures from April and even commented on a recent picture of hers.

After all the original ten islanders were coupled up, Will and Cinco were brought in as new islanders to shake things up. Kyra and Will were instantly drawn to each other and seemed very comfortable around each other. On the recently aired episode, the duo had a private conversation with each other, after which Will walked up to Kyra's partner Korey Gandy and told him that he was interested in pursuing Kyra.

Things seemed to be moving very fast between Kyra and Will. Although Will tried to get to know Shannon St Claire too, he seemed to have his heart set on Kyra. So during the bonfire ceremony, Will revealed that he would like to couple up with Kyra. While fans were initially smitten by how cute the duo looked together their views quickly changed when they realized that they already knew each other and were possibly 'scamming' everybody.

A fan tweeted, "Not Will and Kyra scamming their way on the show #LoveIslandUSA." Another fan wrote, "#LoveIslandUSA Kyra and Will know each other. They're playing the game." "Will and Kyra acting like they don’t know each other when whole the whole time they do #LoveIslandUSA," commented another fan.
