MAMANUCA, FIJI: In a recent podcast interview after her departure from 'Love Island USA,' Daniela Rivera discussed how she had expected to leave the show and shared her experience of being deceived by fellow contestant Rob Rausch.

Daniela explained that she had sensed the end of her relationship with Rob long before it became official. When asked about how she felt when Rob expressed uncertainty about their relationship, she said, " It was kind of weird. There were lot of conversations that the show didn't really show," she said.

She revealed how Rob seemed to care a lot about her and their relationship was blooming according to her, only to end abruptly.  "We talked about our family for like an hour and we were getting intimate," she added.

Despite her intuition, Daniela shared that Rob continued to mislead her about their future together. In the short clip, she revealed how Rob consistently made her feel that he was genuinely interested in her, only for her to ultimately be dumped on the show.

During her time in the villa, Daniela shared how genuine her feelings were for Rob. She emphasized how much she valued their connection and highlighted his uniqueness compared to the other men in the villa.

" I think Rob really is just such, like, a different guy than I've ever talked to. And he just listens so well, and he just makes me feel heard," she said. "Like, I always, at the end of the day, feel better every single time I talk to him. And I feel like the more I'm with him, the more I want to be a better person. It sounds weird, but it's true. I'm happy to be here," Daniela added. "I'm happy you're here," responded Rob.
