The Casa Amor doors are yet to open on 'Love Island', but fans are already anticipating some hot drama from the 10 hotties about to set foot on 'Love Island'. Casa Amor is the ultimate test of a couple's relationship on 'Love Island'. The existing couples are split up and sent to a different villa. A new set of girls are brought in for the boys, while a new set of boys are brought in for the girls. The couples compete with their partners in separate villas, where they either give in to temptation and find a new partner or stay loyal to their partner. Towards the end of Casa Amor, the couples are brought back together and they have to make the big decision of whether they want to stay with their partner or recouple with someone new. 

Kay Taylor is one of the hotties who will be making her debut on the upcoming Casa Amor special. Hawk-eyed fans realized that current islander Melvin 'Cinco' Holland Jr might already be familiar with her, as he liked her Instagram posts. So fans are eagerly waiting for Kay to stir up some drama by spicing up the already messy love triangle between Cinco, Trina Njoroge and Cashay Proudfoot.

Who is Kay Taylor?

Kay is a 24-year-old swimsuit company owner and a model from Calabasas, California. Kay seems to prefer keeping her personal life private as she hasn't posted much about it on social media platforms such as Instagram. Her feed is filled with photoshoots and shots from her modeling assignments or promoting her swimsuit company. 

Fans were pleasantly surprised when they discovered that Cinco liked one of Kay's pictures from April 2020, suggesting that the two might have known each other for a while. Cinco is currently in a sticky situation with Trina and Cash. He initially coupled up with Cash but ditched her for Trina. Although he is happy with Trina, when Cash revealed to him that she still has feelings for him, he was left feeling confused. Cinco also revealed that he likes Cash and hasn't gotten over her. But before Cinco can make a decision on whether he wants to be with Trina or Cash, the Casa Amor doors might open, paving way for Kay to be added to the mix.

"I hope Cinco’s mind explodes when he meets Kay in Casa Amor #LoveIslandUSA," seconded another fan. "Can’t wait for Kay to go hard at Cinco & turn his head in Casa Amor. I need Cash & Trina to be set free," added a fan.
