Melanie Moreno is back in the land of the scrolling!
The Love Island USA season 8 islander made her first social media post since leaving the villa.
“I LOVE Y’ALL BADDDDDDD. WHAT A SUMMERRR!!!!!” Melanie wrote on TikTok on July 17.
“I shared every version of myself with you — the good, the messy, the vulnerable, and even the moments that were hard to watch,” she continued.
The season 8 contestant reflected on the overwhelming love she’s received since returning home, as well as the friendships she formed inside the villa.
“It honestly feels like I came home to millions of big sisters wrapping me in one big hug,” Melanie added.
“I’ll never be able to put into words how protected, understood and loved you’ve made me feel.”
Of the 35 photos Melanie shared, only one featured her villa connection, Sincere Rhea (excluding group shots with the other islanders).
The photo selection felt curated and intentional — perhaps signaling that, for once, Melanie chose herself.
To our knowledge, Melanie and Sincere left Fiji as a couple.
However, whether they’re still together remains unclear.
What is clear is that Melanie says the support she’s received online “made this the softest place to land.”
ICYMI: During Family Day, Melanie’s mom urged her to walk away from Sincere.
“Why are you going to give him a second chance when there are so many others waiting for a first chance?” she asked after learning Melanie had stayed in the couple.
Sincere’s father also told his son he had considered not coming to Fiji because of his behavior in the villa.
