Caleb McDaniel “Regrets” Not Pursuing Melanie Moreno on Love Island USA

Caleb McDaniel has left the villa, and he does have one regret.

The Season 8 bombshell spoke to Aftersun co-hosts Ciara Miller and Tefi Pessoa following his exit from the villa.

“Melanie was really pretty,” Caleb admitted to Ciara when asked who initially caught his eye.

“To be completely honest, that’s probably one thing I maybe regret a little bit,” he continued.

The Charleston local poured his energy into pursuing Kenzie Annis, who ultimately coupled up with Corbin Mims despite Caleb being her type on paper.

“While putting a lot of effort toward Kenzie, I was helping Sincere with his connection with Melanie,” he explained.

Caleb said he felt it would have been “two-faced” to explore a connection with Melanie while also helping Sincere deepen his own.

Ultimately, the villa bombshell coupled up with Casa bombshell Jaiden Bacciocco and was dumped from the villa during the Friday, July 3 episode.

For the record, Melanie is still coupled up with Sincere… for now.
