In the reunion episode of Love Island USA season 6, Aaron Evans admitted to being dishonest with Kaylor Martin about his interactions with Daniela Ortiz Rivera. Revealing that his relationship with Daniela was more intimate than what was shown on the show, Aaron confessed,
"I lied to Kaylor, straight up. I put my hands down Daniela’s pants. I kissed her, I snogged her. We had loads of romantic connections."
This revelation led to a tense exchange between Aaron and Kaylor.
Love Island USA: Beginning of Aaron and Kaylor's relationship
Aaron Evans, 26, from England, and Kaylor Martin, 22, from Pittsburgh, established a connection early in Love Island USA season 6. Their relationship developed from the first episode, making them notable contenders. Despite their initial chemistry, the couple faced challenges, including a significant argument when Kaylor kissed another islander during a challenge.
The couple shared several emotional highs and lows throughout their duration in the villa. They had arguments and confrontations but could always keep up with it. However, the season's progress offered further scrutiny and testing for their compatibility relationship, which affected their interaction and perception of each other.
Aaron's bond with Rob and its impact on his relationship
A critical part of Aaron's experience in Love Island USA involved his bond with Rob Rausch, another participant. When the girls decided to eliminate Andrea Carmona, Rob's partner, Rob declared that he'd leave the show with her. This made Aaron upset, and he contemplated leaving the island with Rob.
Aaron's decision to prioritize his friendship with Rob over his relationship with Kaylor created tension. Despite his apparent commitment to Kaylor, the situation highlighted the complexity of balancing personal connections with romantic relationships in Love Island USA.
The Casa Amor twist and Aaron's connection with Daniela
During Casa Amor week, when the boys met new female contestants, Aaron developed a connection with "bombshell" Daniela Ortiz Rivera. They bonded over their shared language and began to explore their feelings for each other. This connection led to intimate moments that were not fully disclosed to Kaylor upon Aaron’s return to the main villa.
Aaron’s decision to engage with Daniela, while coupled with Kaylor, introduced new complications. Upon returning to the main villa, Aaron hoped to reconcile with Kaylor, but he did not fully disclose the nature of his interactions with Daniela. This omission created additional issues in their relationship, contributing to further misunderstandings and conflicts in Love Island USA.
Aaron's confession and the breakdown of his relationship
During the “Movie Night” episodes, Kaylor viewed footage of Aaron’s time with Daniela, including intimate moments and a handshake that resembled one shared with Kaylor. This viewing led to a significant argument between Aaron and Kaylor, with Aaron’s defense of his actions and emotional response creating additional strain in their relationship.
They got back together again and eventually left the show as a couple.
The reunion episode on August 19 was a big turning point for them as a couple when Aaron finally came clean about his interaction with Daniela. This confession sparked a heated argument, with Kaylor revealing her frustration in feeling cheated by his dishonesty, resulting in the breakdown and end of their time together.
She asked Aaron to "take accountability" for his actions and lamented for having wasted her "entire f**king summer" on him.
Kaylor confronted Aaron with his dishonesty as well as disappointment and frustration, saying:
"I walked into the villa being so confident and you beat me down, beat me down, beat me down. And I left a different f—ing girl."
