Love Island USA season 7<\/a> may be behind us, but that doesn\u2019t mean certain connections stayed at the villa in Fiji. At least, that\u2019s what fans think after an anonymous DeuxMoi tipster pointed to a potential reconciliation between Iris Kendall and TJ Palma<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust saw Iris and TJ in Tampa together at Whole Foods. Took a shitty video you can see him and then see the back side of her taking TJ\u2019s picture with fans,\u201d the submission, which was posted to DeuxMoi\u2019s Instagram Stories on September 3, reads.<\/p>\n

Fans also think they spotted a clue that TJ and Iris are together on his Snapchat story. During his recent trip to Disney World, he took a photo of a woman\u2019s hand holding up a pickle…and the woman\u2019s nails looked preeeetty similar to Iris\u2019 new French nail set. <\/p>\n

This wouldn\u2019t be the first time the Islanders have been spotted together outside the Villa. They were photographed hanging out upon their return to L.A. in July, where they reportedly \u201cwent on a walk and talk for about two hours before going into his place,\u201d per TMZ<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At the time, Iris was still exploring her connection with Pepe Garcia-Gonzalez<\/a>, as they were one of the final four couples on the Peacock reality series\u2019 seventh season. After the Love Island USA reunion aired on August 25, Pepe revealed that he and Iris called it quits during a conversation with TMZ<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not together anymore, and that\u2019s the way it goes,\u201d he said after he denied cheating allegations. \u201cIt\u2019s a tough thing when there\u2019s a lot of eyes on you 24\/7. It\u2019s stressful. Being in the limelight isn\u2019t always the best thing in the world.\u201d <\/p>\n

Iris then entered the chat via E! News<\/a>, where she confirmed their split. \u201cI had hoped to keep this private, but I\u2019m so grateful for all of the love and support I\u2019ve received since leaving the villa, and I wanted to share an update,\u201d she said in a statement sent to the outlet.<\/p>\n

She added, \u201cThe connection that I formed has ended, and while it isn\u2019t how I would have imagined, I will always value the unique experience that we shared. It\u2019s been a difficult transition, but I\u2019m moving forward with hope, gratitude, and positivity for the future. Thank you for continuing to stand by me\u2014your support means more than I can ever express.\u201d<\/p>\n

Neither Iris nor TJ has confirmed the nature of their relationship since the DeuxMoi tip dropped, but you already know we\u2019re keeping our eyes peeled.<\/p>\n
