Love Island USA Season 7: Where Is the Cast Now?
Walker, 22, was originally born in Oregon but moved to Honolulu, Hawaii. She models and works as a barista at her family’s coffee shop. She explored a connection with Vansteenberghe at the beginning of the season, but it didn’t work out. Walker was dumped from the island in episode 6 when she wasn’t chosen during a recoupling.
In an interview with Decider, she opened up about her experience on the show and her decision to be less physical from the jump. “I had no doubt that they were gonna have us kissing on the first day, but I also knew in my heart that I had set this boundary for myself in the outside world, and I knew I wanted to and I needed to be true to myself,” she said.
Walker, who is of Asian descent, also spoke out about Ortega’s indiscretion. Per People, Walker posted a statement on her Instagram Story, writing, “As a proud Asian American woman, I’m deeply appreciative of the Love Island USA producers for taking a stand and making it clear that racism of any kind is not tolerated.” She went on to denounce hate directed toward Ortega, adding, “Please think twice before leaving unkind comments to or about this person.”
