‘Love Island’ Hannah Details "Sick Joke" Elimination, What's Next With Charlie & Pepe
Hannah Fields would like to steal Pepe Garcia for another chat.
While the Love Island USA contestant formed connections with both Pepe, 27, and Charlie Georgiou, also 27, during her time in the villa, she’s only hoping to take things further with one of them following her shocking elimination during the June 22 episode.
“I have a really good connection with Pepe and we talked a lot about the outside world,” Hannah, 23, told E! News in an exclusive interview. “Only time will tell. Whatever's meant for me will be, so I have no expectations.”
Hannah was coupled with Charlie until viewers voted to separate them during a June 15 recoupling, leading him to depart from the Peacock series. And though she was visibly heartbroken by his early exit, her subsequent pairing with bombshell Pepe made her rethink her bond with the U.K. native.
“I just don't know if there's still a romantic connection, especially after the connection I had with Pepe,” she shared. “I don't know what he's open to.”
Because unlike her conversations with Pepe, Hannah said her chats with Charlie didn’t necessarily include plans for the future.
“We never really talked about life outside of the villa,” she explained. “He would just tell me, ‘Live in the moment. Enjoy the moment.’ I never really got an explanation of what he would expect outside of the villa. I just know [that] right before he left, he made me promise that I would see him.”

So, that’s why Hannah “would definitely” meet up with Charlie outside the villa—but maybe more as friends.
“It’s actually his birthday on [June] 27, so I was gonna tell him, ‘Happy birthday,’” she noted. “I was keeping track of the days in the villa. I'd be like, ‘10 days until Charlie’s birthday!’”
