TJ Palma's Ex Claims He Reached Out Right Before ‘Love Island: USA': ‘I'm Gonna Marry You'
With Love Island: USA season 7 airing for quite some time now, based on a bit of social media sleuthing, fans are starting finding out some disappointing (to say the least) things about the pasts of the islanders we have grown to know and love.
With a quick social media stalk revealing that Cierra Ortega has previously used a racial slur not once, but twice — much like Yulissa Escobar, who was swiftly removed from the show after three days — even fan favorite islanders have pasts that are rather questionable.
The next individual who had their dirty laundry aired out was TJ Palma, a 23-year-old entrepreneur from Pleasantville, New York.
For those who need a refresher, TJ entered the villa on day 14 as a bombshell alongside Andreina Santos. Despite instantly hitting it off with Iris Kendall, the Casa Amor twist began swiftly after his arrival, leaving TJ single for the first half of the experience, and coupled up with Vanna Einerson for the second half of the experience.
Although he seemingly had a spark with Vanna, TJ chose Iris at the recoupling ceremony on day 20 instead, and things have smooth sailing ever since.
Well, that is until a statement from his ex, Jessica Musraca, has caused fans of the Love Island franchise to question TJ's true intentions...
On a recent episode of Gossip With Grace: Unfiltered, hosted by pop culture expert Grace Parisi, Jessica sat down to talk about her former relationship with the fan favorite islander, admitting that they were in communication just hours before his arrival — yikes!
"He texted me the night before he left to go on Love Island," Jessica boldly claimed, prior to delving into the details of what this alleged message actually entailed.
"I won't read it word for word, but basically he sent me a song called like, 'You're The Love Of My Life,' and he was like, 'I'm gonna marry you and I love you.' That's what he said to me," she continued — how wild is that?
To follow this statement, Jessica confirmed that "it was definitely a drunk text" from the ex-college baseball player, as it took place "at 3:00 AM" and "he texted the next day like, 'I apologize for saying that.'"
Nevertheless, Jessica concluded the conversation, "Two days later, I find out he's like on Love Island," which naturally came as a shock.
Although TJ and Iris are as cute as can be, is he really there for the right reasons if he allegedly told another woman "I'm gonna marry you and I love you" just hours before his stint on the show? To see for yourself, tune into brand new episodes of Love Island: USA season 7 every day — except Wednesdays — via Peacock.
Needless to say, we are on the edge of our seats...

'Harry Potter' Star Set To Appear in Ed Sheeran's Latest Music Video
'Harry Potter' Star Set To Appear in Ed Sheeran's Latest Music Video originally appeared on Parade. Ed Sheeran announced some exciting news for fans on Monday morning.

I had this wild idea after writing the song, and thankfully rupert was up for it," the 34-year-old singer wrote. "It's an utterly bonkers video for a very upbeat, fun, but angry song.

Tate McRae Honors Popular '60s Writer in Latest Post
Tate McRae Honors Popular '60s Writer in Latest Post originally appeared on Parade. On Wednesday, Tate McRae posted an upward photo to her Instagram of her lying down on Hollywood Blvd with her legs extended over a cracked and crushed Hollywood Walk of Fame star. The 22-year-old stunned in a sheer, sparkly blue dress paired with clear heels and her hair worn down. In the caption, the Canadian pop star quoted beloved writer Anaïs Nin, who was popular in the 1960s and 1970s. "I'm restless. Things are calling me away. My hair is being pulled by the stars again - Anaïs nin," McRae wrote. The quote is from Nin's diary, Fire: From a Journal of Love, which was written from 1934-1937, but wasn't published until 1995. While the Canadian singer's caption quoted a well-known line from Nin, many fans suspected the post could be a teaser for a deluxe version of her most recent project, So Close To What, pointing to the dramatic visuals and tone. The "Sports car" singer released her third album, So Close To What, in February and is currently on her Miss Possessive Tour. Last month, she wrapped up the European leg and is set to continue touring across North America, starting at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, Canada, on August 4. Nin was a French-Cuban-American writer best known for her deeply personal diaries, which spanned decades and offered an intimate look into her thoughts on art, relationships and sexuality. Born in 1903 in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France, she became a pioneering figure in feminist literature, admired for her lyrical prose and exploration of the female psyche. Nin also published experimental fiction, including House of Incest and Delta of Venus. Decades later, her work continues to influence the next generation of writers and artists around the world. The writer died of cancer in Los Angeles on January 14, 1977. She was 73 years old. Even if fans missed the reference, McRae's nod to Nin shows she's inspired by more than just current trends. It's clear she's pulling inspiration from the past, adding a thoughtful layer to her identity as a young McRae Honors Popular '60s Writer in Latest Post first appeared on Parade on Jul 24, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jul 24, 2025, where it first appeared.
