Chelley didn\u2019t sugarcoat how tough the decision was, but she kept the tone classy.<\/p>\n \u201cIt really was a tough decision for the both of us and very hard to decide, but, you know, when you love someone, sometimes loving someone means letting go,\u201d Chelley, 28, explained. \u201cSo I think we just got to that decision.\u201d<\/p>\n She added that the two reached a \u201cmutual level of respect and understanding that, you know, we wanted this to work, but sometimes things don\u2019t work,\u201d noting, \u201cCouples go through things that are very challenging and sometimes the best thing to do is just, you know, make a decision that needs to be made.\u201d<\/p>\n The pair became one of season 7\u2019s standout couples after sparking a connection on the show, which began in June and wrapped in August. They made it official in the villa and left the island together on Day 30 \u2014 and fans immediately shipped them hard.<\/p>\n Chelley didn\u2019t spill drama, but she did make it clear the breakup wasn\u2019t impulsive.<\/p>\n \u201cWe had a lot of conversation, you know, and again, at the end of the day, it was just like a mutual agreement of like, you know what? This is for the best,\u201d she shared. The pair even considered how fans would respond as they worked through things.<\/p>\n \u201cBut I\u2019ll trust that they\u2019ll understand that this decision needed to be made if we were able to come to this mutual decision,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n As for the details? Don\u2019t expect a tell-all.<\/p>\n \u201cThe details aren\u2019t really necessary,\u201d Chelley noted, emphasizing that they\u2019re \u201cpeaceful\u201d and \u201con the same page.\u201d<\/p>\n NEW YORK, NEW YORK \u2013 AUGUST 24: (L-R) Chelley Bissainthe and Ace Greene attend an intimate dinner for Chelley Bissainthe\u2019s 28th Birthday with Crown Royal Chocolate at Barlume on August 24, 2025 in New York City.
