Summary
- The choice to invite Marco's ex-girlfriend on Love Island USA felt wrong and disrespectful to Marco.
- Marco was tricked by Love Island USA when he was expecting to go on a date with his partner Hannah, but instead his ex-girlfriend showed up.
- While Hannah O wants a second chance with Marco, he may feel guilty about exploring another connection and leaving Hannah W behind.
Marco Donatelli and Hannah Wright have been doing incredible on Love Island USA, so the choice to invite his ex-girlfriend on the show felt wrong. Marco coupled up with Destiny Davis on day one at the villa, but they two split up when Marco told Destiny he wanted to get to know other people. Hannah entered the villa with Carmen Kocourek as the first two bombshells of the season.
Marco and Hannah quickly formed a connection, and they coupled up during the next ceremony. They've been together since, and while Hannah's been away at Love Island USA's Casa Amor, she hasn't gotten to know any of the male bombshells. Instead, she's encouraged the other female islanders to get to know them and talked about how much she misses Marco. Unfortunately, Marco was forced to reunite with a different Hannah.
Love Island USA Set Marko Up & Tricked Him
Marco got a text telling him he would be going on a date with Hannah with the hashtag #reunited. He was so excited as he didn't get to know any of the female bombshells, slept outside in a bed with Kenzo Ludo, and has been hoping Hannah also didn't find anyone new. He got ready as the male islanders pumped him up, but when he waited to go on his date, it wasn't Hannah, his partner, who walked through the villa doors, but Hannah Ortega, his ex-girlfriend.
His smile immediately faded, and he went into panic mode. It was disappointing to see Love Island USA mess with the islander like this. While it was definitely a jaw-dropping plot twist that had Keenan Anunay laughing in shock, it felt disrespectful to do this to Marco. The franchise has been accused many times of having a negative impact on contestants' mental health, and this felt like a mean prank that really seemed to upset Marco, even if he did pull himself together for the date.
Will Marco Choose Hannah O Over Hannah W?
The story behind Marco and Hannah O's connection is they never officially had a relationship because Marco wasn't able, to be honest and open with his feelings. According to Marco, he never even told her he liked her because he was too afraid to be vulnerable. Hannah O wants a second chance with Marco where they could give their relationship a shot for real this time.
Marco didn't seem 100% closed off to the idea, but before Hannah W left for Casa Amor, she had told Marco she didn't want to get to know anyone else. It's likely Marco will feel guilty about exploring another connection. He also likes Hannah enough not to have gotten to know any other female bombshell at the Love Island USA villa. It would be pretty shocking if Marco decided to couple up with Hannah O and leave Hannah W behind.
