You know what I love more than a celebrity couple’s messy breakup? The possible reawakening of the aforementioned disheveled celebrity couple. This can happen with love island usaNick Vansteenberghe and Olandria Carthen — better known as Nicolendria — won over viewers with their slow-burn romance last summer, then instantly shattered viewers’ hearts when they broke up a year later. But maybe there’s hope for a second chance at love: Over the weekend, the former islanders were spotted Attending the wedding of Jordyn Woods and Karl-Anthony Towns. Even better, they were sedentary Next to each other during the ceremony.
Now, I know what you might be thinking – perhaps the pair formerly known as Nicolaandrea were attracted to each other because they didn’t know anyone else at the wedding. He probably wasn’t even given a plus-one, given that, until a month ago, he was considered to each other Plus-one. But you know how weddings are – plenty of orgasms, sharing finger foods, slow dancing to “Can’t Help Falling in Love” by Elvis Presley, maybe. If not a dance floor make-out, I have to admit there was at least one heated, lingering gaze shared between Vansteenberg and Carthen.
Then, I can go straight to the source and ask Vansteenberghe, who was DJ-ing at LIV Beach in Las Vegas the day after the wedding. In a backstage (back…pool?) interview, producer John Pascarella asked the 25-year-old — who was wearing sunglasses, a cheetah-print button-down and a backward hat while indoors — if he’s still lonely after the reunion. “I’d love to tell you guys, but I’ll keep it private for now,” Vansteenberg said, smiling. “We had a ton of fun at Carl and Jordan’s wedding last night. It was amazing.” He then insisted that he and Carthen ended things on a “good note”.
Pascarella also asked the budding DJ if he had any advice for fans who might be thinking about a breakup. “Things will always get better,” Vansteenberg said. “It’s rock bottom, but it’s about to climb out.” Okay, Miley Cyrus. I can only hope that his climb leads him back into the arms of Carthen. But if not, something tells me modeling with his ex-girlfriend would be fine Poppy And hanging out with my biggest fan, Zendaya.
