If you spent your 2024 summer screaming at your TV every time Aaron Evans opened his mouth, you weren't alone. We all watched the slow-motion train wreck. Kaylor Martin, the 22-year-old from Pennsylvania with her heart on her sleeve, and Aaron, the UK "Traitors" alum who seemed to have a different version of the truth every five minutes. It was messy. It was loud. It was basically a case study in why you shouldn't fall in love in a Fiji villa while being filmed 24/7.
But it's 2026 now. The dust has settled, the social media blocks have been issued, and a new spin-off has aired. So, are aaron and kaylor together or did the Casa Amor fallout finally end them for good?
The short answer? No. They are absolutely not together. In fact, their breakup was one of the most explosive post-season splits in Love Island USA history.
The Breakup that Everyone Saw Coming (Except Maybe Kaylor)
Honestly, the relationship didn't even make it to the end of August 2024. While they left the villa as a "couple," the real world hit them like a freight train. Kaylor went home and actually watched the Casa Amor episodes. You know, the ones where Aaron was doing a lot more than just "testing a connection" with Daniela.

Kaylor’s perspective shifted the second she saw the footage of Aaron bringing Daniela breakfast and the "stomach kisses." She realized the guy she fell for in the villa wasn't the guy on the screen. By the time the Season 6 reunion rolled around in New York City, Kaylor was already telling fans outside the studio that they were "done" and "not okay."
The reunion was the final nail. Aaron admitted on stage—in front of everyone—that he’d lied. He finally confessed to being much more intimate with Daniela than he ever told Kaylor. Her reaction was raw. She called him "disgusting" and told him she never wanted to speak to him again. He had spent days in NYC with her right before that filming and didn't mention a word of it. Talk about awkward.
Where They Stand in 2026
Fast forward to today. If you've been keeping up with Love Island: Beyond the Villa, which premiered in the summer of 2025, you saw the "reunion" nobody asked for but everyone watched.

Here is the current status of their relationship:
- Social Media Status: Aaron has Kaylor blocked. Or at least, he did for a long time. He essentially "dipped" back to the UK after the 2024 reunion to deal with the massive public backlash and his own mental health.
- Kaylor’s New Life: Kaylor has mostly moved on. In May 2025, she "hard launched" a new relationship with a guy named Torin Dunn. Fans were quick to point out that she definitely has a "type," but she seems way happier and, frankly, less stressed than she was during the Aaron era.
- The "Closure" Meeting: On Beyond the Villa, they finally sat down. It was cringey. Kaylor admitted she "still loves him" in a way—because you don't just turn that off—but she also made it clear she felt completely betrayed. Aaron apologized for the gaslighting and the manipulation. They agreed to be civil for the sake of their shared friend group (the "PPG" and "PPG Mates" circles are tight), but a romantic reconciliation is off the table.
Why It Never Had a Chance
You've got to look at the math. Long distance is hard enough when you trust the person. When one person is in the UK and the other is in Pennsylvania/LA, and there's zero trust? It’s impossible.
Aaron spent a lot of time after the show in "healing mode." He stayed off social media, deleted apps, and tried to escape the "villain" label that followed him after Casa Amor. Kaylor, meanwhile, leaned into her support system. Her friends and family were never Team Aaron, and once she was out of the "villa bubble," she started listening to them.

What We Can Learn From the Mess
The whole Aaron and Kaylor saga is a reminder that what looks like "love" under the pressure of a reality TV set often doesn't survive a 10-hour flight and a few episodes of honesty.
If you're looking for a happy ending, you'll find it in their growth apart rather than their time together. Kaylor is focused on her career and her new relationship, while Aaron seems to be staying relatively low-key compared to his castmates.
Next Steps for Fans:
If you want to see the literal moment it all fell apart, go back and watch the Season 6 Reunion on Peacock. Then, check out Beyond the Villa to see their 2025 sit-down. It provides much more context than a simple Instagram caption ever could. Follow Kaylor’s TikTok for the most recent updates on her life with Torin, as she’s much more active there than Aaron is these days.
