Courtney Boerner caused a stir during the latest Love Island USA recoupling session, choosing to pair up with new bombshell Bryce Fins.

The 24-year-old coupled up with the newcomer, meaning that Felipe Gomes became the latest contestant dumped from the California villa.

‘I feel like this boy is here to find a genuine connection,’ she said of her decision.

‘I don’t connect with people easily.’

‘I’m really sad about Felipe leaving, but I don’t have any regrets,’ she added to the camera in a confessional.

‘I chose Bryce over Felipe because he’s like super emotionally intelligent.

‘I would like to find that deeper connection.’

The dumped Islander was given a few minutes to say his goodbyes before being forced to leave his temporary home.

‘Enjoy here,’ he added to his co-stars. ‘This is the most important thing you can do in your life.’

Bryce, 30, was clearly delighted by being saved, telling Courtney: ‘Everything you feel and more is reciprocated.

‘I respect you. Now I definitely trust you.’

There was more partner swapping in store for the singletons as Zeta Morrison chose to recouple with Jeff Christian Jr, despite having a bond with Timmy Pandolfi.

‘This boy has made me feel extremely wanted, extremely cared for, and has helped me not to feel like an absolute mug in here,’ she said.

This may have come as a surprise to some as Zeta shared a secret kiss with personal trainer Timmy just last week.

Instead, he was picked by Bria Bryant as she shared her determination to work on their partnership.

‘He makes me feel like we have a really good chance of having something special,’ she added.

Later in the episode, Jeff voiced his fears that the connection between Timmy and Zeta had not been severed – but is he right to be worried?

Love Island USA continues on Tuesday at 9pm EST on Peacock.
