Iris and TJ are giving major “are they or aren’t they?” energy right now, and, I’m invested. If you remember from Love Island USA Season 7, Iris and TJ had that undeniable spark before that fateful recoupling and TJ got sent home. Iris moved on with Pepe, even made it to fourth place with him, but apparently, the TJ chapter never felt fully closed.
Fast-forward a few weeks: Iris and Pepe are one. Pepe had to hop online to deny cheating rumors, Iris deleted their couple photos, and suddenly the love story that we knew felt like a ghost of itself. Enter TJ, again. The two met up in L.A. for what Iris swore was “closure,” but then why are they suddenly holding hands at New York Fashion Week and making tiktoks that have them looking very much not like just friends?
So, are Iris and TJ officially back together? Not on paper. But if you ask me, the way they’re moving, it feels less like a reunion rumor and more like a reality waiting to be Instagram-official.
