In the wake of the latest Season 7 episode of Love Island USA, fans are buzzing after seeing Ace and Huda share a steamy kiss during the villa’s Heart Rate Challenge.

The electrifying moment, where Huda’s close proximity and flirtatious energy notably spiked Ace’s heart rate the most, has reignited speculation that Ace may be harboring a secret crush on her.

Huda Love Island

The news takes on a fresh twist with recent accusations that back in 2023, Ace allegedly “liked” Huda’s Instagram photos, stoking rumors that his interest in her isn’t just recent villa game heat, but a long-simmering attraction fans didn’t previously know about. This resurfaced social media activity, combined with the recent intimate villa moment, has many thinking that Ace’s feelings go deeper than strategy.

Ace and Chelley 

During the Heart Rate Challenge, Chelley publicly confronted Huda, accusing her of crossing “girl‑code” boundaries by kissing Ace—even though the latter insisted it was “just a challenge.” (here) Fans on social media had mixed reactions: some defended Chelley while others reminded listeners that the challenge rules allow such interactions.

Adding fuel to the fire, fans noted that Ace seemed particularly affected by Huda’s presence—his elevated heart rate wasn’t just a moment in the game, but potentially a pretty clear signal of attraction. Many are saying his pulse didn’t just jump—it spoke volumes. (here)

Whether Ace’s past social media likes were innocent or intentional, the timing of their revelation certainly adds drama. Between a viral kiss, Chelley’s emotional reaction, and the revived Instagram breadcrumbs, fans are convinced Ace might just be crushing on Huda.
