Serena & Kordell: Winning Love Island USA, Villa Secrets, and Ring Rumors

[@hongjjangusss]

i love how Kordell always validate Serena’s feelings and correct people when they try to imply that she was being dramatic or doing too much. That man loves her down and I love that for her !

[@candacebierkortte5333]

That’s because she loves herself and she set they bar for him to follow.

[@greenedveeYT]

yes i love that he stood up for her after what aaron said on that one pod

[@bellamaka4359]

​@@candacebierkortte5333Exactly men do know when women don't love themselves and they do take advantage of that on these women. I just myself Serena I'm a slow burner, I'm not a male identifier I respect myself I don't overly get excited for bare minimum.

[@hongjjangusss]

@@candacebierkortte5333 yup!! She basically told him to step up his game if he wanted to "have her". Also that’s why a lot of people (male centered birds and male with big egos) were hating on her bc she knows her worth and wasn’t all over him and at his feet js bc he wanted her from the start.

[@hn-702]

​@@hongjjangusss She told him to step up but she hasn't stepped up for him. She continously belittles and disrespects him. She is only with him because no man in the villa wanted her.

one thing about Kordell he's going to correct the narrative "she wasn't b*tching me out, it was just expressing emotion" period.

[@CARATMom]

Kordell isn’t just raised well by his parents-he has a high emotional quotient. He didn’t take Serena expressing her emotions personally. He understood how to validate her experience. And Serena wasn’t just standing on business-she set her boundaries and trusted her own instincts.

[@shawtymac2005]

This was a good interview! I wish they both were in the camera at the same time bc I love seeing their reactions to each other when they are talking about each other!

When Kordell said, “I know what I like and I’m going to get what I like.” Then Serena says, “Period!” Then he follows up with, “I’ma get mines!” I love a man like this!!! He has BIG BIG energy and I love this for Serena! Men really need to take notes, frfr! 😩🥰🙌🏽👏🏽

He doesn’t take himself too seriously. So nice to see

[@Zayb3lll]

You don’t know him.

[@theekhokochanel8156]

Regarding CASA, I think everybody forgets that Serena said that she wanted to be single. She literally said that even if he comes back alone, she’s going to be single because of the videos she saw. Like that made me love her more because yes girl. Get on his ass about the disrespect but also guard yourself as well!

[@Fan-qu8qy]

Although she made that statement, Serena has feelings. She is entitled to feel down when unloved. Understand he brought Daia back. Kordell had that right but it still hurts seeing this in your face 24/7. Sleeping in the bed, touchy-feely of your former cuddler.

[@jahviahgaines7553]

As silly, goofy & funny as the both of them are they are two of the most mature islanders out of the cast besides a few others & i love that because they’re super young. I really love them for each other

[@yvettetorres7829]

The difference between Kordell and Aaron is Kordell took accountability, was respectful to Serena’s hurt after casa, Kordell was truly remorseful, he almost lost Serena, but he fought for their connection and won Serena’s love and respect. Real man Kordell!

[@kayymoree]

At one point she was talking about concern around them having everything in common and her thinking he was just lying to get close to her, love their story!! 😂

[@gabrielle1546]

I think of that often. 😂❤

[@shenita2899]

She totally thought he was making it up! I would be suspicious as well in that setting. I would think the producers were manipulating me.

[@hongjjangusss]

also I’m glad she talked about coye because I’ve seen so many people saying that she only settled for Kordell (which is lowkey insulting to him and not true at all) and that if coye was still in the villa she would’ve coupled up with him or sum bs like that 😭 happy she cleared that shit up and said it would’ve been Kordell anyways iktrr

They’ve BOTH grown alot. I 🙏🏽 continued growth for Kordell & Serena. May we continue to watch this relationship develop just as it begin - hot, sweet & slow❤
