Isabelle 'Belle-A' Walker Reveals Her 'Love Island USA' Season 7 Regret After Elimination
Isabelle Walker, best known as Belle-A, is dishing about her time on Love Island USA season seven!
The Islander was dumped from the villa earlier this week during this season’s first re-coupling, after being the last one not coupled up.
While her time on the Peacock reality dating series was cut short, she gained quite a few fans during the first week.
Now, Belle-A is opening up about being in a couple with Nicolas “Nic” Vansteenberghe, and reveals her one regret from her time in the villa.

On her “no kiss on the first date” rule, Belle-A told Variety, “That’s just one little boundary that I have in the outside world that I wanted to carry in to stay true to myself inside and outside the villa. I also laid down that I wasn’t going to be taking off my clothes. I wasn’t going to be progressing further than a cuddle session. I stuck to my word about that.”
The Hawaiian noted that she had high hopes for the season.
“I had a really strong connection with Nic, and a lot of our relationship was cut short. We were getting closer, and I started to let my guard down,” she said. “That man reassured me up, down, over and over that he was so happy where he was at. He was happy to get to know me and to pursue things with me. He was looking forward to taking me on a date. The last conversation that we had was right before the recoupling. He told me ‘Belle-A, I don’t want you to worry about anything.’”
Nic‘s eyes turned after Cierra entered the villa and Belle-A says she wishes he was more upfront and honest.
“That’s all I asked from him from the beginning. There was even a moment that made it seem like he was going to cut things off with me. I was shocked when he stood up to even recouple with her the first time because he just got done telling me how happy he was with me,” she said. “He did say that he wanted to explore things with her. She was going to be in this villa regardless, and he could have easily continued to explore things while still coupled with me. I didn’t understand his actions. That’s when I called him out on the dock for it.”
When asked if she had any other connections in the villa, Belle-A shared that she did have “crazy chemistry” with Taylor, and wishes she would’ve explored that connection more.
“I had crazy chemistry with Taylor, which wasn’t ever shown. We never had a bunch of conversations, but something was pulling us towards each other,” she says. “My loyalty to Olandria kept me from exploring that. I love her so much that it was hard to explore that because I am such a girl’s girl, and I never want to be a shady person. That’s not how I would move in the outside world.”
“I said what I said and did what I did. I have no regrets about those actions,” Belle-A said about if she would do anything differently. “I wish I approached it knowing that time isn’t fully on my side. I would have kept a more open mindset and explored things with Taylor while keeping Olandria in the loop.”
