Who Is Chris Seeley from Love Island USA? All About His Basketball Career & More
Love Island USA's newest Casa Amor bombshell quite literally towers over Chelley.
Now that Love Island USA Season 7 has officially entered the infamous Casa Amor era, the Islanders have just met a whole new group of bombshells, including Chris Seeley, whose height immediately grabbed the girls' attention.
During the June 23 episode, Chris, 27, made his grand entrance at Casa Amor and revealed he's a professional basketball player. And due to a new twist that instantly made every contestant single at Casa Amor, Chris quickly coupled up with Chelley Bissainthe, who'd previously been exploring her connection with Ace Greene back at the villa.
"I play basketball overseas, so I'm constantly traveling and dealing with long distance is tough. Having to have that intimacy through the phone and just FaceTime and texting every day is tough," Chris told Chelley about his recent relationship experience, adding that being in Fiji has given him the opportunity to "Reflect about what I want in my future woman."
"And what's that?" Chelley asked.
"Goal-driven, passionate, can cook," he answered as Chelley chimed in that cooking for others is her "love language."
"Amen," Chris replied.
