Bad news to all the fans of Peacock’s Love Island USA who were hoping for a sneaky Jeremiah return: He hasn’t just left the villa, he has officially left Fiji. The silver lining? He’s giving interviews. And in a recent podcast appearance, Jeremiah revealed whether or not he’d ever get back together with Huda after their dramatic Love Island USA run.
“Respectfully, no,” he told E! News when asked about a potential future with Huda outside the villa. “She’s awesome and I wish her the best, but respectfully, to for me in the friendship or past that. So no, I’m good.” Sorry, Huda, sounds like Jeremiah is pretty decided. But, really, do we think this will come as a shock?
Jeremiah and Huda coupled up basically right away when they entered the villa — they had what Jeremiah described in an interview with The Viall Files with Nick Viall as “crazy electricity” — and quickly became one of the most controversial couples of the season. Things got serious very quickly, but in the end, Huda’s jealousy and Jeremiah’s reluctance to commit proved to be a pretty terrible combo. A tense breakup killed the good vibes in the villa, and eventually the boys decided to send Jeremiah home after a fan vote landed him on the chopping block.
Reflecting on their whirlwind, drama-filled romance, Jeremiah told Nick Viall that he and Huda “got really intimate really soon,” which he now thinks “set us up for failure.” He went onto explain that their relationship was actually “amazing until the pancake day” (when Huda got upset because Jeremiah didn’t help her make pancakes after he delivered her breakfast severely undercooked), and that looking back, he takes responsibility for trying to meet her expectations in the relationship, even though he was still exploring the connection and not ready to commit. “I tried to be Superman instead of letting her know, like, that’s not who I am. That takes me months to get there,” he said.
Jeremiah refused to talk bad about Huda, but he did suggest that she got a fair edit, adding, “There were a lot of instances where we were just talking and she would, you know, crash out,” he explained. “It was pretty accurate.” Though he hasn’t watched the season closely, he has caught up on key moments, and he wasn’t always happy with what he saw. “There’s some moments I’m watching myself, and I’m just like, ‘Bro, get up, like, don’t take that.'”
