Love Island USA’s Kaylor Martin Is Done Crying Over Aaron Evans

Spoilers for the Love Island USA season six reunion ahead.  

Kaylor Martin left her tears back at the villa.

After spending her time on Love Island USA entangled in an emotional summer romance with Aaron Evans, the 22-year-old showcased her other side at the Aug. 19 season six reunion after he admitted that his hookup with Daniela Ortiz-Rivera during Casa Amor went a little further than he’d previously told her.

And not only did Kaylor not hold back in saying what she thought about his actions, she didn’t shed a single tear. As for whether she feels she was able to get it all off her chest?

“I think I said a bit more than what I needed to say at the reunion,” Kaylor told E! News in an exclusive interview. “I was coming from a place of anger, and I feel like it doesn't really describe my character as well. But you know, the bear can be poked so many times before it explodes, and the information I received at the reunion wasn't the best."

She added, “So instead of crying, you saw the other side of Kaylor, which I think America didn't really get to see this summer.”

But while she has some regrets about how things played out at the reunion, Kaylor is, most importantly, glad she stood her ground.

“I'm really proud of myself for finally realizing my worth,” she explained.  “A lot of the times I underestimate myself, and I don't acknowledge that. So the information I was given, I really needed to be there for myself, and I think I was—maybe a little too much.”

During the reunion, hosted by Ariana Madix, Aaron, 26, shocked Kaylor and the other Islanders by sharing insight into his past dalliance with Daniela, 22, prompting her to take him to task for not being honest with her earlier—even just days prior when she’d ask him about it.

“Be honest with me and look me in the eyes when you say that then,” she implored him. “Don’t look at Ariana. I’m tired of the f--king excuses. Take accountability and be a f--king man. I just saw you the last three f--king days in New York and you haven’t said that to me once.”

Enraged, she added, “Why do you keep f--king lying to me? And quit love bombing me. Literally, I cannot believe I wasted my entire f--king summer on you, Aaron.”

As if her heated remarks didn’t make her relationship status—which she’d previously teased on social media—quite clear, she broke it down for E!.

"We're not together, and I don't want really anything to do with Aaron,” she noted. “I love Aaron, and I will love him for a while. I think it's going to take a lot of time, but just the way things went down this summer, watching Casa, and then having things from Casa being confirmed really broke me.”

And having watched the Casa parts from the Peacock reality series back, she finally understands what viewers were trying to tell her about their relationship. Still, that doesn’t make the heartbreak any easier.

“I was Aaron's biggest cheerleader,” she admitted. “I was rooting for us. So, I'm really disappointed in how everything went.”

The Love Island USA season six reunion is now streaming on Peacock.
