Love Island USA star Ace Greene has his own studio in Los Angeles, California

In an Instagram post shared on April 16, 2025, Love Island USA alum Ace spoke about the launch of the New Ace Mob Studios in Los Angeles. It was a project he had been working on "since early 2024." Now that his plan had come to fruition, Ace said that he was "grateful for all the blessings" God had placed in his life.

He called the feeling "amazing," and expressed his gratitude to "all the new faces" that supported him on his journey. Ace added that he would host a "meet & greet very soon," requesting fans to stay tuned.

Although the Love Island USA cast member celebrated his achievement, the journey had not always been so pleasant. During his time on the Peacock series, Ace opened up about his childhood to his partner, Chelley, saying:

"For me, I remember through high school, I'm going to school in a nice neighborhood, and I'm going back home in Watts or Long Beach or s**t like that. And I'm sleeping on a d**n beach chair, you know what I mean?"

He added he "went through a lot of s**t very, very early," which compelled him to grow up before his time. Those life experiences taught him to appreciate life "a little bit more." Ace noted that for those reasons, he struggled to find a sense of belonging.

However, he found peace by spreading joy through his online dance classes, which were mostly attended by elderly dancers as well as people with disabilities. Ace, while speaking to Jennifer Hudson in a YouTube video shared on January 11, 2025, stated that he was a "chameleon kid" who could blend in with any group of people, stressing the importance of spreading joy.
