Kenzie
Thank you.
Alex Cooper
Alex. I am so excited to meet you. You literally look like you just came from Fiji. You're in your little booty shorts. You're in your little tank.
Kenzie
Yeah.
Alex Cooper
You're tan.
Kenzie
Yeah.
Alex Cooper
How are you feeling?
Kenzie
I feel amazing. It feels surreal. I'm definitely fangirling over you so hard right now. Listen to your podcast all the time. You were the first podcast I started listening to. You are the reason I know how to suck dick. No joke. No joke. And I get compliments all the time. And it's because of you. It's literally because of you. I just listened to everything you said, and I'm like, okay, I'm putting this to work.
Alex Cooper
I'm actually dying because Kenzie walks in here and she's like, oh, my God. Wait, and you're pregnant? I didn't find that out until I just left the villa. I'm like, babe, from the gluckluck to pregnancy, we've got rage. I know. Shit has changed. I know. Thank you for saying that. I'm obviously a huge fan of yours. Watching you season has been such an experience. I was thinking about it, obviously. You just graduated nursing school, and then you literally are on the biggest television show essentially in the world.
Kenzie
Yeah.
Alex Cooper
How do you feel about all the attention?
Kenzie
It's definitely wild. I was not expecting any of this. Like, I'm just feel like I'm a normal girl from Kennesaw, Georgia. I just have a. I drive like, 2013 Lexus. Like, I call her Beat Up Betsy. I lock the front doors myself. Like, I can't even listen to music on there. I listen on my phone. Like, my radio don't work. Like, I'm just like this nursing and nannying, you know? It's just like. This is surreal. And I never, like, expected to be here. I just manifested all of it. Even right when I got off, I was like, call her daddy, please.
Alex Cooper
Oh, my God. That's kind of crazy. I didn't know that you were a fan. So then here.
Kenzie
I've always been a fan queen.
Alex Cooper
Okay, we got to get you a new car.
Kenzie
I know.
Alex Cooper
What kind of car do you want?
Kenzie
I want a baby blue, like, car. I used to drive a baby blue convertible, but I wrecked it, like, really bad.
Alex Cooper
Okay.
Kenzie
All right.
Alex Cooper
All right, well, we'll try to get
Kenzie
you a new car. Go baby Blue Bronco surf. Surfboard at the top, please. Dylan's taking me for surf lessons.
Alex Cooper
Oh, my Kenzie. Okay, okay, okay. I'm thinking about it. Also, there's a lot we have to discuss today because you had a very eventful summer. Obviously, very. You won a karaoke challenge. You found yourself in multiple love triangles.
Kenzie
Yes.
Alex Cooper
You redefined what a handshake means. You did more splits that I think anyone has ever done on this earth, and you became truly one of the most debated islanders of this season.
Kenzie
Wild.
Alex Cooper
When you got your phone back, what conversation surprised you the most?
Kenzie
Probably just kind of just being exactly, like, sincere and stuff. That. That kind of threw me for a loop. And then also just the hate comments on Dylan. I was not expecting that, because he's been nothing but amazing, and I was like. I was just. My jaw was on the floor for him, and it. It hurt my heart so bad to see him upset.
Alex Cooper
Well, I want to get into all that because I feel like, yes, a lot of people either were like, you were so messy, or they thought you were misunderstood, or they were like, this is the only person that's actually doing the experience completely. Right.
Kenzie
Yeah.
Alex Cooper
I want to go back a little bit, though, before we get into the details of Love Island. How did you even end up on this show? Like, what made you want to apply?
Kenzie
So I actually had never watched the show. I've watched the UK Love island, like, once. Love them. Huge fan. But my best friend in nursing school, Hannah, she, like, told me, hey, you should apply for Love Island. And I was like, okay. And I'd been studying all day, and I just, like, did a 90 questionnaire, talking. I was eating dinosaur nuggets in my coffee. It was like, 4pm right after my hot girl walk. And then I'm like, I. I did that. And then after that, I failed nursing. Like, failed my last test in nursing school, you have to get a 75 and above. I got a 74 point, like, 96. So it was 0.04 off.
Alex Cooper
And it was the 2030 thing.
Kenzie
Yeah, it was 100% the 2030 thing. That's what fucked me fucking over, bro.
Alex Cooper
Like, oh, fuck.
Kenzie
But I ended up having a break. I went to. I got my hair done and, like, all different. And, yeah, I took a breath for myself and then got back in the game and finished on December. Or no, when did I graduate? It was, like, literally right before January, March. Like, March 12th. And then I was sent on the 13th, like, the day after.
Alex Cooper
So your friend was the one that was like, maybe you should do this.
Kenzie
Yes.
Alex Cooper
And. And is this like, typical Kenzie fashion where any of your friends surprised you were doing Love island or were they like, oh, that's so classic.
Kenzie
No, it's actually crazy because they. My dance friend, like, right before I went on, she's on the Hawks dance team and she messaged me and was like, I think you would be amazing on Love Island. And I'm like, literally about to go on. I'm like, haha, you'll see me on your tv. Like, okay, girl, I love you.
Alex Cooper
Wow.
Kenzie
Yeah.
Alex Cooper
And did you get the bangs for Love island or you just got it because you were changing up your.
Kenzie
Because I was changing up my look. And when you're in clinicals, you have to have your hair all the way pulled back. So I was never allowed to have like hair pieces, so I did that. And then I was like, what else am I going to do with the break? And I'm like, I've always wanted tits, so I'm like, I'm going to buy boobs. And that's what I did with my time off. So when I came back to nursing
Alex Cooper
school, they were like.
Kenzie
They were like, who is this?
Alex Cooper
Oh my God, you got tits in between nursing school.
Kenzie
And it was not for the show or anything. Like, it was just because, you know, like, growing up, you're like, what do you want? You want to be. You want boobs as a woman? Like, I wanted to feel like a woman. Okay. I got like 4, 400cc.
Alex Cooper
Oh, you showed up and you said, give me.
Kenzie
I'm showing up, showing out. Give me, give me those babies.
Alex Cooper
When you get to Love island, you're like, give me the bikini. I deserve to show this off.
Kenzie
Yeah. And the dresses. I'm like, give any cutout shit. Give it to me. Give me.
Alex Cooper
Kenzie, did you pay for them or you did your dad?
Kenzie
I paid for him. Yeah. My nanny money. Shout out to them and nanny mom. I fudgeing. Love her.
Alex Cooper
Queen.
Kenzie
Yeah.
Alex Cooper
Okay, a lot of debate online and we're going to settle it here, right here, right now. What was your type before you went on this show?
Kenzie
I like dark hair normally. I like dark eyes, taller than me, sporty guy. I like a country man. I do. But you know, I. The combo gotta be there and all that.
Alex Cooper
And were you a relationship girl before Love Island?
Kenzie
I was, but I got my heart broken like three one big time. And then for two years I was single and I did not talk or text in anyone. Like, no one.
Alex Cooper
Okay, well, yeah, I remember you were like, I haven't had sex in a year and a half before you entered the villa. Was this by choice? Like, how did you feel about being celibate?
Kenzie
It was definitely by choice because for I, it was four for a while, and it was only, like, my boyfriends, like, the guys that I had very seriously talked to. And then for a year, I was like, I. For. It was three guys, three more guys. And I. It made me just feel like I needed that connection. I need that connection with someone. And you're saying you had slept with
Alex Cooper
only four men in your life?
Kenzie
Yes. And then a year I slept with three. Okay. Like, and it just made me feel kind of icky. I was just like, I like to be a relationship girl. So I stopped. And because I wasn't talking to anyone, I wasn't gonna do it. And then I'm like, well, I'm going on love island. Like, I'll just hopefully find my man there.
Alex Cooper
I feel like so many women are going to be watching this. Like, actually, like, we. I fudge with you because you're just so honest. Like, most. I think most women are, like, scared to even be, like, what's your body count? How many people you slept with? Because there's so many, like, weird negative connotations. And you're like, oh, so four then three that love it.
Kenzie
Yeah.
Alex Cooper
Oh, I love that.
Kenzie
Yeah.
Alex Cooper
Let's first start with the roster thing. Yes. You came in, you said, I'm not a roster girl. I can only talk to one guy. Then you end up being one of the only people that had a roster. Obviously. Now, in hindsight, what are some things that you wish that you had known about managing a roster? Kenzie?
Kenzie
Yeah. I have no idea how to manage a roster at all. I think it's pretty obvious and clear, but everyone's surprised that I've never had a roster. It's just like, I was going on the show to find my best connection, and that's what I was there for.
Alex Cooper
But do you think now that you have a better idea of how to manage your roster? You're like, I'm never doing that again.
Kenzie
I don't think I ever want to do that again. But, like, I don't know. It was fun. It was like, the best experience experience ever. But, yeah, like, even on Snapchat, like, I've never done that. I never could text or talk to any more than one guy and I never understood how. How other people could do that.
Alex Cooper
It's a full time job.
Kenzie
It is definitely a full time job. Like, I. And how much. How much is a girl allowed to talk about with another guy? I am like, can I not talk about my family?
Alex Cooper
I know we're gonna get into that because it was interesting seeing, like, you got backlash for certain things. And that's why I was wondering, like, what was your understanding of Love island etiquette when you first got in there of, like, how you're allowed to move with multiple connections?
Kenzie
Honestly, I didn't know any, like, Love island etiquette. I'm just more just, like, I'm just gonna be me, have a connection, see if we connect really good. I did want to be upfront, honest every single time, like, and I tried. The only thing I didn't say was that one kiss with Corbin, and I do regret that because I feel like that really led Caleb on in a sense.
Alex Cooper
Also, I don't know if you've seen this online, but so many people are, like, the way that Kenzie would have thrived of on Love Island UK this season, because everyone on this season of Love Island UK is moving like a Kenzie.
Kenzie
Really?
Alex Cooper
Oh, you would have it. You would fit right in. Kenzie, do you think the, like, closed off somewhat? You know, like, playing it safe mindset hindered any of your other castmates experiences? Because obviously, you moved a lot different than a lot of other people.
Kenzie
Yeah, I moved a lot different than them. But also, I feel like the people that came in, they were able to connect with them immediately. It just so happened to be that my person came in later and at Casa, but I don't fault them for it. If you like someone, you like someone, you want to stay, you want to stay with them. I just. I. My person just didn't come in too later.
Alex Cooper
Okay, let's get into it. We're going to go through the whole season.
Kenzie
Yeah.
Alex Cooper
Call her Daddy is brought to you by Airbnb. So sports are usually maths territory, but when it comes to soccer, you guys know. You know what? I'm all over it. So safe to say I am very excited for the FIFA World cup coming to la. The last time I went to a global sporting event was during the Olympics. And honestly, the trip became so much more than just going to different games in Paris. I just remember Matt and I ended up booking the cutest apartment one weekend on Airbnb to explore different parts of France. One night after dinner, instead of. I remember rushing home, we stopped into this tiny little local bar, ended up sitting next to a couple from. I think they were from Madrid. And we just started talking and somehow found out that they also worked together, and they had golden doodles. And we were like, oh, my God, this is meant to be. And then when Matt and I got back to the apartment that night, we opened a bottle of wine, sat on the balcony talking for hours about all of the random moments that somehow end up becoming the best part of traveling. It was one of those trips where you come home and you just feel like you actually lived in a space instead of just visiting it. And that is what I love so much about Airbnb. During the FIFA World cup, people from all corners of the world come together. They're swapping jerseys, grabbing Dr. After the match, maybe debating who actually has the best goalie, like, whatever it is. And Airbnb makes it easy to stay together under one roof. You get to live in neighborhoods that actually feel local and experience a city beyond just the tourist spots Airbnb, the world is meant to meet. Call Her Daddy is brought to you by Shopify. If you've been waiting for the right time to start your business. Hi. Hello. This is your sign. Shopify has literally everything you need to bring your idea to life. Daddy, gang. Doing everything yourself is so tough. And honestly, it's also unnecessary. Luckily, Shopify has Sidekick. It's basically an AI co founder that helps you build and grow. You literally get your own AI co founder helping you with everything from generating reports, breaking down complex data, giving you marketing ideas. It's like having a genius co founder who never sleeps. Shopify's AI lets you focus on growth and creativity while it handles the rest. You guys know I love Shopify. I have been using this literally since the day that I left Barstool and took over my business on my own. This is something that you absolutely need to be using. And I know so many people nowadays. It's like, we all want to be entrepreneurs. We all want to start that business. But the truth is, a lot of us are like, but what would be our first step? I'm telling you, Shopify is your first step. Serious about starting your own thing? Start your free trial@shopify.com Daddy Episode 1. You chose Zack Store. You guys end up coupling up. And almost immediately into coupling up, he lets you know that he has literally never with a blonde before. He goes with people with darker features. You're kind of not his type.
Kenzie
Yeah.
Alex Cooper
And we saw you obviously get in your head about this. Like, how did that comment so early on affect your confidence?
Kenzie
I don't know if it, like, affected my confidence, but I would say it hurt because I was like, damn, Charlie's into blondes. The fog. I thought, like, Zach would too, but I guess that's just not how it goes.
Alex Cooper
I'm not okay.
Kenzie
Yeah. I was like, just telling myself, you know, I love who I am. I'm in love with myself, and whatever guy is here, like, he's to love that too, but it just wasn't. Wasn't going to be him, and that's okay.
Alex Cooper
And prior to the villa, just like in normal life, how would you describe your confidence and your self esteem?
Kenzie
I. I do eft tapping. Like, I'm always like, I'm a goddess. I love myself. Like, I pray and, like, pray that he God gives me, like, all that love and support. And I just. That's how I feel about myself now. And it hasn't always been like that. I went through really hard times when I was broken up with, and I was so down on myself. But you can pick yourself back up, like, with all the positive energy, like, it's just all. It's all you.
Alex Cooper
And I think we saw that truly, like, your confidence. As much as you kept getting kind of like, oh, this isn't working, or this isn't working, you kept it moving in a way that was really refreshing to see that you didn't get too down on yourself. One of the main things the Internet grabbed on to the first episode was how shocked you were that you were not anyone's type at first.
Kenzie
Yeah.
Alex Cooper
You did this. Have you immediately comparing yourself to the other women that you were in the villa with.
Kenzie
Yeah. I feel like naturally it does make you compare yourself. It made me feel, like, not as beautiful, you know, to a point. It did suck because I was thinking that I was gonna have like, a Aaron and Kayla situation where I just met my person and seeing that happen right in front of me, and then, you know, like, Zach bringing Kada back right away. And then they're in the bed next to me and they're, like, making out and stuff. And then I only just laid on his shoulder like he didn't want to cuddle or anything. I'm like, yeah, it definitely made me feel a certain type of way.
Alex Cooper
Eventually, though, you had a slow start, but eventually someone came in who caught your eye. During the office challenge, a new bombshell. Corbin entered the villa.
Kenzie
Yeah.
Alex Cooper
What was your first impression of Corbin?
Kenzie
I was like, he's not 100 my type, but he's hot.
Alex Cooper
Okay.
Kenzie
We just ended up having a great conversation. Like, he actually like it. I was like, wow, we had a really good conversation. The chemistry was there, and I'm like, okay, like, if he chose me and he did. Like, we pursued each other after that.
Alex Cooper
Early on, I remember you told Anaya you were worried Corbin had boy behavior.
Kenzie
Yeah.
Alex Cooper
But it was like a gut thing.
Kenzie
Yeah.
Alex Cooper
What do you think you were picking up on?
Kenzie
Probably, like, his swag, kind of. And his nonchalantness of just. And then. And then I heard about the kisses, and I was like, I should have taken it more with a grain of
Alex Cooper
salt than I did.
Kenzie
But I'm like, hey, wait. That. This is Love Island. Like, I'm like, hang, like, the kisses, like a handshake for me. So it's like, this is Love island, babe. Like, and you just got here, so I'm not gonna fault you for that.
Alex Cooper
That's fair. Do you think you were shocked by how many people were in shock when you said that you thought that a kiss was like, y. Yeah.
Kenzie
Like, okay, clearly I'm not going to do that outside of here. Like, it's not. It's not like that. But when I'm on a fudgeing dating show, we kiss in challenges. What's the fucking difference if I'm. If I'm fucking, like, what is it like? Come on now.
Alex Cooper
That's fair. I mean, I think that's fair.
Kenzie
Yeah.
Alex Cooper
Outside of the villa, would you say, though, that you're someone who has a good read on guys?
Kenzie
Yeah, I feel like I definitely have a good read. And women's intuition. Gut. Gut feelings. Like you. You gotta stick to that. If you feel that way, you feel that way for a reason.
Alex Cooper
Oh, without a doubt. You have a feeling. And you don't know why, but it always usually comes back around to prove you right.
Kenzie
Yeah, it does.
Alex Cooper
When it came to the next recoupling, Corbin chose you.
Kenzie
Yeah.
Alex Cooper
How did it feel to finally get into bed with someone that you actually were excited about?
Kenzie
I was really excited to get into bed that night. Of course, I find him very attractive. We had great conversations, but I did miss being with him, being in a connection with him. Yeah, it felt amazing. I. I felt like a squirrel climbing a tree. You know, he is the tallest, like, tallest. And he got a lot of muscle. He's great.
Alex Cooper
I said. I wrote down the next morning, you said, quote, he turns me on, and no guys have really done that. I kind of feel like a new woman this morning. Kenzie, what are some immediate turn ons and turn offs for you?
Kenzie
He's just sexy. And also, like, the way he talks, his deep voice. I also, like, just. He would. How he would make me breakfast and it would be like the heart shaped pancakes. And I. I just remember missing those a lot.
Alex Cooper
Obviously you can't have someone make you those. I mean, they can make you those in real life, but, like, in real life is like, is a turn on a deep voice. You didn't think it was Chad. GPT vibes.
Kenzie
It gave a little chatgpt. He.
Alex Cooper
I give me the impression of how he says, kenzie.
Kenzie
Kenzie. Like, it's so deep. It's. And he's cool. Like, he is really cool. He's a. He's a great person.
Alex Cooper
Pretty quickly on, obviously you guys had immediate sexual chemistry. You were talking about role playing, blindfolding, and handcuffing each other. Do you typically feel comfortable sexually right off the bat with people?
Kenzie
No. The connection that we had, I. He even said it too. Like, our chemistry was crazy, but there was definitely sexual chemistry. We'd never done any of that. I mean, I don't think he had ever done it. So that's why we were like talking about that. We're like, well, we could do that. And then the bed scene happened where we were both blindfolded and it was. It was hot.
Alex Cooper
Have you done all those things? No. Okay, hold on. So what would your ideal role play situation be?
Kenzie
Probably being handcuffed and then blindfolded and then like that paint. Oh, that turns you on. Any slime? I understand why they do it now. I understand.
Alex Cooper
I'm like, okay, you're getting turned on in challenges.
Kenzie
Yes.
Alex Cooper
Oh, it's so interesting.
Kenzie
Yeah. And you're like, so sober. It's crazy. But, like, it's so fun. I'm like, okay, I'm going crazy turned
Alex Cooper
on as like, like, wait, and you want to be handcuffed or would you ever handcuff the guy?
Kenzie
Both, but I would love to be handcuffed. I like to be like, you know, put in my place.
Alex Cooper
Okay. These are good things to know. Kenzie. I had a feeling, but I'm just. Just checking it out. Okay. Then comes the bed paint challenge. Like you're talking about. And in walks a cowboy.
Kenzie
Yeah.
Alex Cooper
And the whole villa quite literally erupted. It was insane. Every single girl was like, this is Kenzie's type to a t. This is Kenzie's type. How did you feel about all the girls reaction?
Kenzie
I mean, I loved it. They're girls girls. They're supporting me and they always support me. I love them so much for doing that. They knew I was kind of talking about a cowboy wanting a cowboy to come in. But also, that was right before I had A connection with Corbin. I'm like, can you please bring in, like, a guy for me? And then I'm like, oh, I'm kind of settled down now. But also seeing Caleb, I was like, I mean, he's fine. He's fine. And then he. The first thing he did was he came up, and when he kissed me, he's like, hey, Kenzie. And I was like, like, stop. I'm dead. Okay, we.
Alex Cooper
Have you dated a cowboy before?
Kenzie
Yeah, kind of like, if you guys ever heard about Georgia Southern, that was, like, the guy that I was really in love with, and he was kind of like a cowboy. He had boots and stuff like that.
Alex Cooper
He had boots?
Kenzie
Yeah. You were hot sometimes. Yeah.
Alex Cooper
Okay, so this is. Has this fantasy been, like, a while for you? Yes.
Kenzie
I fucking love cowboys. Like, cowboy movie. Like, that makes me wet.
Alex Cooper
So we were really excited when Caleb came in, but again, you were a little torn. But I do have something now with Corbin. Yeah, Something I want your take on that. The Internet really caught on to was Melanie was screaming the absolute loudest when Caleb came in. And she later told Sincere it was because she was excited for you. But then she was also the first person to pull Caleb for a chat.
Kenzie
Yeah.
Alex Cooper
What do you think was going on there? What were her intentions?
Kenzie
I think her intentions were good. She was my best friend. She knew I was wanting a. A cowboy to come in. I don't know if, like, I know she did really, really like sincere, but I don't know if she kind of also liked Corbin maybe a little bit. And both can be true. So.
Alex Cooper
Yeah, I was gonna say. Can you clarify? Because people online thought it was a bit hypocritical when you got upset at Melanie when she later then went and pulled Corbin.
Kenzie
Yeah.
Alex Cooper
Can you talk more about that situation? Your perspective, I would love. Okay, tell me.
Kenzie
When we had that kissing challenge, when she went back and forth to both of them, I had a conversation. I was like, so did you know that you were kissing him? And she said she had no idea she was kissing Corbin or sincere or who was who. And to me, I told her that was really hard for me to believe because you've been kissing sincere for how long? And. And Corbin's a lot bigger.
Alex Cooper
Yes.
Kenzie
You know, but we talked about that, and then she told me that. That she was not into Corbin, that Corbin was her type to a T, but she's very much into Sincere. She said, you have nothing to worry about not pursuing him. I'm not gonna talk to him. Like, we're good. So then the next day, we're, like, pulling and, you know, like, beaching, whatever, and then she pulls Corbin for a chat to talk to him. And then I didn't get to talk to her until later that night, and I pulled her for a chat, and I was like, hey, I'm just confused because 20. Not even 24 hours ago, like, last night, you told me that you weren't going to talk to him, that you weren't pursuing him. So I'm like, I. There's a disconnect there. I'm confused. And she said, yeah, well, that was yesterday. Like, me and sincere are not good anymore, so I am going to pursue Corbin. And so that's why I was so upset, because I just felt. I felt blindsided, and I felt like if she was interested, just say, you know, I am interested in Sincere, but also, I do still want to kind of chat with Corbin, and I would have been cool with that. It would have been. It would have been different.
Alex Cooper
I don't think we saw that initial conversation between you and Melanie for being like, I'm not interested in Corbin. Like, me and sincere are good. So all we saw was me getting
Kenzie
upset, you getting upset, which makes total sense. Like, I understand why everyone's going crazy, because it is, like, double standard kind of thing. Like, but I wouldn't have been upset, but she was my best friend in there.
Alex Cooper
Yeah.
Kenzie
So.
Alex Cooper
And she had approached you saying, I'm not gonna go for that.
Kenzie
Yes.
Alex Cooper
And then her and Sincere get in a fight, and then she's going for Corbin. And I'm sure to you it kind of felt like, wait, hold on now. Is this just, like.
Kenzie
Yeah.
Alex Cooper
To make. Since you're jealous or whatever, because I actually feel like I have a real connection with this person.
Kenzie
Yeah. And I'm, like, getting finger blasted right before that. So it's like I was. I was kind of liking him to
Alex Cooper
a point, and his finger blasted the same as French fries.
Kenzie
I was. I was. Was. I was having fun. It's French fry.
Alex Cooper
I feel like you're having fun every single night, Kenzie.
Kenzie
I mean, I'm there. I'm at Love island for the summer. What are we doing? What's going on?
Alex Cooper
Holy shit. It did seem like you and Melanie had a few ups and downs this past season. What were some other moments when you look back that kind of, like, tested your friendship?
Kenzie
It was definitely that. That. And then right after that, Seoul came in, and Sincere, they had a thing going, and Seoul was very much like, she just felt isolated in there. I don't want to, like, speak for her, but she. She was having a hard time. She was crying a lot, and I just wanted to be there for her. So I started pulling her for chats and I just said, hey, I want to let you know you have a friend in here and I'm here for you. And I think she's beautiful and amazing person, but also at the same time, you could. There's only so many hours in a day. You can only have so many chats with so many people. And Melanie was pulling Trinity and Anaya more often, so I could only as well talk to so many people as Melanie also. So it just so happened we didn't have as much time together. But of course I wanted to be there for her as a friend. So that's why I was so emotional later when we had that conversation and she was talking about that.
Alex Cooper
Right. Did you feel like there was an unsaid dynamic in the villa, that if you were. Were friends with Soul, you were kind of also then going against Melanie to some degree?
Kenzie
Yeah, I don't agree with that. I like to, like, I was just trying to be there for someone who needed someone. And I think Soul's an amazing person. I think Melanie's an amazing person. But Melanie had a ton of support already in the villa where I just saw Soul, and I just wanted to comfort her and be there for her.
Alex Cooper
Did it feel like Sol was being treated fairly in the villa?
Kenzie
I think that it was really hard for her to come in when she did. I mean, she's a bombshell. She really bombed. I. I don't know. I. I did feel for her on a couple of days, but I think she ended up, like, getting along with people, like, after that. But just I felt for her.
Alex Cooper
Yeah. Where do you and Melanie stand now?
Kenzie
Well, right before I left, I don't know if they showed this because I haven't seen it, but she pulled me for a chat. Chat, and we talked like we're really great friends. I love her. Since the day before I walked out. I remember holding her hand right before the door opened, and she's like, don't worry. They're just as nervous as you. And like, she was my comfort and she'd had been that comfort. I know we went through our ups and downs, but I love her down and I'll always support her. Like, she is the best. She's an amazing person. She just. She deserves only nothing but love. And. And that's all I have for her. I love her.

Kenzie
Yeah.
Alex Cooper
It seemed like obviously he thought you were his type. He quickly pulled you for a chat. Now we got to go through this Caleb Corbin dynamic because, babe, it was a lot. It was a lot. And this was like, I think what you were getting the most heat for. So I want to get into it. Yeah. What was your first impression of Caleb? When you guys, I know you physically connected that first night, I think you had a kiss. Like, was the physical attraction there? Once you had a kiss?
Kenzie
The physical attraction was definitely there. After we had a kiss, I was very much into him.
Alex Cooper
And once you guys had that first kiss, were you still more into Corbin or Caleb?
Kenzie
Yeah. So after that first kiss, I. I still had more of a connection with Corbin on different levels other than just, like, attraction and just, like, one initial, like, I. I fall in love by someone speaking to me, like, in my ears. I have to have time with you. So on that initial chat with Caleb, he was like, who do you like more, me or Corbin? And I was just like, I'm like, oh, my God. I have a really great connection with Corbin. And I told him I still wanted to pursue that with him and that I was very unsure. But I. I, Corbin. And I said, I'm very interested in also getting to know you.
Alex Cooper
So this was essentially the first love triangle you experienced, not only in the villa, but in your life. You said, I'm a one person kind of girl. I'm confused as right now. What do you think was the most difficult part of managing these two connections at once?
Kenzie
Probably just like, stepping on other people's toes in the villa. There's other girls there that also want to explore them as well. Not knowing, like. Like what I can and can't say to either of them. It's like, it's kind of weird. I grew up watching the Bachelor, like. Like what? He says, I love you to how many? Three girls. And I can't talk about my family. It's kind of wild. Like, I'm on a Love island dating show. Am I supposed to be having conversations with other guys? I don't know. Like, it. It's confusing and it's so hard because I'm like, I'll be kissing Caleb, and yeah, it's a great kiss, but I have a great connection with this other guy and that's why it was so hard for me. I'm like. Like, my mind can't compute. I'm like, well, it is.
Alex Cooper
So I agree with you, Kenzie, because what's so weird is I'm also watching UK right now and, like, everyone's talking about being at home. Like, everyone's like, this is what it would be, and this is my mom. And they're saying that to most of their connections. So I also feel like a lot of it is dependent on the cast per season. Kind of shapes the etiquette around what's appropriate.
Kenzie
Yeah. Because, like, the season right before that was nothing like this season.
Alex Cooper
Nothing, Nothing. So it is interesting that, like, you were kind of moving what you thought was right, and then people would be like, what do you mean? You talked about your family and you're like, oh, yeah.
Kenzie
Everyone was actually like, maybe just don't do that. And I was like, okay, but, like, I was just trying to talk about things outside of here that. To see if it would work outside of here because it was real for me. And that's. That's why I was trying to see what our lives work outside of here.
Alex Cooper
I think that makes so much sense. Also hearing it even more from you now because you're like, like, if we're going to actually work, we need to somewhat talk about our circumstances outside of here. We're not going to be in this villa forever.
Kenzie
Why are we chatting about everyone else's couple in here? How is that going to bring me any closer to you? It's not.
Alex Cooper
Okay. The Internet then was like, you know what? As America, we're deciding to break Corbin and Kenzie up, and we're going to put her in a couple with Caleb. And I think America, at first, by the time the voting was happening, really thought, like, she should try with Caleb.
Kenzie
Yeah.
Alex Cooper
And then I think they were like, like, our life. Wait. It feels like she actually really likes Corbin. We just did her dirty. And I remember seeing everyone online being like, wait, did we just fully Kenzie over by voting her into a different couple? In hindsight, do you think that up your experience a little bit because it really put pressure on you to give Caleb an even bigger shot than maybe you were going to intend to.
Kenzie
I don't think it like me over in a way, because I was also interested in Caleb, and I like that we got that chance to be together and talk and see how. How it would go. But I was still feeling Corbin a lot, and I missed being in a connection with him, and I wasn't understanding why Corbin, like, we were very kissy and touchy at the pool and all of this. And then right when he was coupled out with Melanie, he's like, let's not do any of that. And so I was very much confused. And then, like, the night on the dock, I was like, I want to kiss you. And so it felt so weird. And then Caleb was also, like, watching me. Me out in the dog, which I was like, that was a lot. And we didn't even kiss. And then, like, the whole house blew up.
Alex Cooper
No, no, we know you didn't kiss, but the looking from the kitchen, we're getting there. We. And to clarify, would you have chosen to say in a couple with Corbin had it been your choice for the recoupling?
Kenzie
I probably would have stayed with Corbin. Yeah.
Alex Cooper
Okay, let's talk about the doc moment, because you're on the dock, you tell Corbin, I want to kiss you. He's like, oh, like, I don't know if we should be doing that right now because we're both a new couple.
Kenzie
Yeah. He said he wanted to stay, like, true to Melanie. Which is, which is. It's nice. Like, that is. And she's my friend, so I understand. But like, at the same time, how are you supposed to go from kissing, making out, doing things in bed to all of a sudden nothing?
Alex Cooper
That's what I think was confusing about this year because it was like, like, so are you closed off? Like, or. Or now you're just in? Because again, I'm watching UK just comparing it and it's like the minute that they flip couples, then they're still making out with the other person they're talking to.
Kenzie
Yeah.
Alex Cooper
It's just having some respect and over communicating.
Kenzie
Yeah. And just communicating with them.
Alex Cooper
Because you guys didn't kiss and you're saying obviously there was this moment where you're like, what are we doing? Do you think at all that the separation and the forbiddenness in a way made you even more pulled toward?
Kenzie
I mean, I think that is 100 probably true. Like you always want what you can't have kind of thing. Yeah.
Alex Cooper
Caleb was convinced you guys kissed and he started telling everyone that you guys had kissed and you went and reassured him that literally never happened. You did seem really frustrated and even upset when this accusation kind of started and you said it's hard cuz I feel like I'm supposed to be exploring both connections when I am feeling like I kind of can't. Did you. You feel in any way like this was hindering your experience and you couldn't be. You almost like didn't want to be honest in a way. Yeah.
Kenzie
It did make me like, be like, can I even be honest with him? Because I felt like he would probably take some steps back. And all of our conversations right before the one like that they showed on movie night, that was our best conversation and that was. That was the deepest we had gotten. And I wish it was like that the whole time because when he got back from casa, he's like, he even told me he. We were playing volleyball together. And he's like, all the guys are saying I really changed and came out of my shell and like, I am who I am, like. And I'm like, I wish it was like that the whole time because it just, it. It wasn't.
Alex Cooper
You know, shortly after this, you end up kissing Corbin and you did feel like you needed to keep a secret. What was your main reasoning behind that?
Kenzie
I Didn't want the whole house to blow up, and neither did he. Melanie was sleeping in Soul Ties, and I think that it was because she would hear that we kissed and made her feel weird, so she would sleep in Soul Ties. She also missed Sincere. And then Caleb, it was like, you know, he was watching me already at the dock. He didn't want us to kiss, and I was telling him the whole time that I still wanted to pursue Corbin. So I. I was communicating with him. So I just didn't understand, but I didn't want him to take steps back because I just wanted to move forward. If we kept. Kept talking about that would just be going in circles, just talking about me and Corbin with him all the time.
Alex Cooper
Why do you think Caleb was not exploring any other connections when you were so clear that you wanted to explore multiple.
Kenzie
I don't know why he didn't explore other connections, because I was telling him, I'm exploring. Please explore. I just think that he was coming in for me, and that's awesome. I did say I want a guy that's all about me, so maybe he just thought. Thought that it would have worked.
Alex Cooper
Okay, let's clarify that. Movie night moment. You just said movie night. We, as viewers, saw more context that we didn't originally see. The next morning, after your secret kiss with Corbin, you had a chat with Caleb where you told him, I just want to be more focused on you and growing our connection and getting deeper, because that's the only way we're going to get closer. I think that outside of this, our lives would collide very easily. And then you and Caleb can kissed. Talk to me more about the intentions of that conversation, especially after what we saw is that came right after you kissed Corbin and kept that a secret the night before.
Kenzie
Yeah, I did. Just. I had no idea there would be a recoupling that night. And I did still very much want to pursue Caleb and I after we had that conversation. That was at the ending of it. And I'm like. I'm like, wow. I'm actually getting this energy from him that I had not gotten. So I did. I was like, like, I was like, I'm. I'm feeling him, like, a lot more than I had been for the past couple days. And then right after that chat, it was like. It literally was, like, recoupling. And then it. It was me taking a couple of minutes being like, who do I like more? And it. My heart was still with Corbin. It's just. I wasn't able to tell him that. And even after I. I talked to him after the recoupling and I was like, I want you to know, like, none of that was fake. It was all genuine. I. I do still have feelings for you. And he just said he was like, well, that doesn't matter, I guess.
Alex Cooper
Like, what mistakes do you think you made within that dynamic?
Kenzie
I think I. I told him that I did just want to, like, pursue him and talk to him, which I definitely shouldn't have said. Like, that was, like, that's not fair to him at all. And it made him think that I was going to pick him that night, which I feel awful for, cuz he wrote the sweetest letter to me. And it broke my heart, like, to be standing there in front of the mailboxes and see how it went down and just, like, everything.
Alex Cooper
Well, now he's In Vegas, like, DJing and, like, hanging with Harry. Like, he's fine. He's fine. He's in that next elimination round where you and Corbin did recouple with the mailbox challenge. Solon. Gabe went home, but Corbin let you know that your name had been considered for elimination. And when you confronted the boys, Casey told you that the reason you are considered is because of you kind of giving similar reasons to Gabe. You seemed upset by that comparison. You said, I have been as lustful. Like, Gabe has been moving. How do you think you and Gabe moved differently in the villa?
Kenzie
I think Gabe's an awesome person, but he likes to kiss more and, you know, get into it faster. And I do tend to move a little bit slower than him. And I don't feel like any of my connections were lustful. It was based on actual communication and talking. Like, me and Corbin. I wasn't fully into him until after having a conversation with him, him, me and Caleb. It took a minute for me to be like, oh, I actually, I kind of like him. He's cool.
Alex Cooper
So, yeah, that was such a big conversation in the villa this year of, like, lustfulness. Like, what is the definition of lustful in the villa?
Kenzie
I feel like lustful is just, like, you're only attracted to them because of their looks. And you look amazing. You're hot. Everyone's hot. Like, what? Say something about my intelligence. Say something about my hobbies. Say something about me and who I am, my family.
Alex Cooper
Yeah. Okay, let's go to Casa More.
Kenzie
Yay.
Alex Cooper
This was so big this season. Honestly, every producer, we were like, you need a raise. They did their big one. Like, you guys thought that you were getting ready for the Heart rate challenge. You come down and I Actually think it was the worst gift in Love island history. You guys get a video of the men in cassette More.
Kenzie
Yeah.
Alex Cooper
Having the heart rate Challenge Challenge with the Casa More Girls. And you're like, no.
Kenzie
Yeah, no. Literally, us just going like, our jaws dropped.
Alex Cooper
What did you expect to be Corbin's experience when you realized he had left before you saw the live stream?
Kenzie
I thought he definitely wouldn't hold back. I didn't think he would. I think he would have explored, but I thought our connection was really good. So I was. I was feeling good about our connection in a way. Yeah. Yeah.
Alex Cooper
We loved the live stream as viewers. We were like, oh, hold these men accountable. Because we had had so many moments as viewers being like, none of these women know what these men are actually saying behind closed doors. Like, put them on blast, please. Understandably, you were so angry watching Corbin and Casey basically joke together about him immediately leaving you before he even had a conversation with these women. He saw them and was like, yeah, I'm out. Like, I'm completely going back to someone different. Had you ever been publicly disrespected like this?
Kenzie
No, I've never been publicly disrespected like that. It wasn't just the out of the window thing, because apparently he didn't say that. It was kc. But, yeah, I just don't take disrespect like that. Also, my family, seeing that I know what my dad would say, he'd be like, him, like. Like, my husband would never say that, so I'm not gonna waste another minute.
Alex Cooper
You kind of didn't waste another minute, though, because I was gonna say you really handled it with Grace, babe. You. We watch you just basically drop down into the split. It was Kenzie. It was the clam slam that was heard all the way at Casa More, heard around the world. It was like, you just. Everyone's, like, making their grilled cheese, and you're like, bam, bam, bam, bam.
Kenzie
Everyone was like, well, I guess we'll eat because there's no men coming in. I'm like, y', all, literally, you guys,
Alex Cooper
is that typically how you let out your anger?
Kenzie
I mean, it did help. It definitely helped. I loved it. I like.
Alex Cooper
But I was so pissed.
Kenzie
Like, what else am I gonna do? I had been want. I'm all day shaking my ass. Upstairs in our room, my arms were swore the past three days after that, like, I was ready to fucking dance. I'd been ready to dance since before I came on the show. I was like, like, heart rate challenge. Heart rate challenge. Put me on So I was pissed. And then thinking that there was still guys to come in and us to dance on, I was like, okay, where are the men? Bring them in. And then that didn't happen.
Alex Cooper
I'm like, kenzie, what the were you doing with your arms? Why are your arms.
Kenzie
Oh, I was on the. I was on, like, a chair, like, twerking, that Melanie was teaching me how to, like, Ru my ass. So was Anaya.
Alex Cooper
Oh. Honestly, I think everyone was upset that we didn't get to. To like, really see you do your big one on that. But I just have to, like, give you your props for that clam slam. Because at first I think America was like, what is this girl doing? Why she was in the splits? And then it just became iconic and, like, I'm assuming you do the splits all the time.
Kenzie
Yeah, no, I do it all the time. Every morning.
Alex Cooper
Every morning. Okay. After you get disrespected by Corbin, you. I think America was like, we fudgeing. Love this woman. Because you were like, oh, I'm so done. I'm so done with that man. I don't see anything more. I'm completely done. You literally woke up the next morning, you said, I'm gonna wear black for his funeral today. I am never talking to him again. Typically, is that how you respond in your life when a man disrespects you?
Kenzie
Yeah, typically, I do act like that. It's from my parents and just my self worth that I get from them. And I just, I don't fuck with it. I don't fudge with that energy. I'm not. I'm not gonna shed a single tear. And I'm fucking glad I never did over him.
Alex Cooper
I feel like so many people caught on to that where they were, like, it feels like Kenzie has such a good relationship with her parents that you could just feel your relationship even with your dad. Like, it's so precious. Like, can you talk a little bit more about what he's instilled in you?
Kenzie
So him and my mom, like, they go on dates every single week. He pursues her all the time. And I know my man will do the same thing. And he would. My man will never talk down on me or disrespect me in front of his friends. Don't matter if he's with his boys. That does not fucking matter. And that pisses me off. Like, your man can't say whatever he wants just with. That's so disrespectful. And I'm just not going to take shit like that no one deserves that no woman deserves to be treated like that. No one.
Alex Cooper
Are you someone? I know that you didn't have your phones in the villa, but, like, would you hit him with a block? Would you ghost him? Like, what's your block?
Kenzie
Blocked. Straightaway blocked. I'm done.
Alex Cooper
You're just setting them the hard block.
Kenzie
Yeah, Cold turkey by.
Alex Cooper
Okay. Okay, we need to get to Dylan. Yes, Dylan. So while Corbin's off in Casa More doing his thing, you turned your attention to the new boys and you meet Dylan. What was like, immediately attracting you to him?
Kenzie
His looks. And then also, I mean, I mean, look at him. He's hot as. He's definitely my type. And then he was the first guy that came up to me and he was like, hey, I'm Dylan. Like, I want to talk to you. I can't wait to chat. And I'm like, okay. He's been all about me since day one and put that out there. I even saw that he, like, drew when we got to draw the people. He drew me in a split. Like, he drew literally me and everyone was just like, you know, you, this is Love Island. You gotta like, go on. And he's like, no, I. I like her. Like, I'm. I'm going for her. And he thought me and Corbin were in a great relationship. So he thought that. Cuz he hadn't seen the live or anything like that.
Alex Cooper
I see.
Kenzie
And didn't know how open I was was to pursuing.
Alex Cooper
Okay. Another boy that immediately caught your eye was gall.
Kenzie
Yes.
Alex Cooper
How did you feel about exploring him when you also knew Jen was also going to explore him?
Kenzie
Yeah. So at first, I wasn't really interested in goal. The first thing he said to me, I was like, I. I definitely was attracted to him. I saw him, I was like, hi, I'm 24, my name's Kenzie. And he's. And he was like, oh. I was like, how old are you? He's like, I'm 30. But like, basically was saying, like, 24 was too young. And I'm like, well, I'm one of the oldest in the. In the villa, but okay, good luck, baby. So I just turned literally, like, paid him no more attention the rest of the day. But of course I thought he was attractive. He would be my type out of this as well. Like, I think he's. He's fine and he's a nice guy. But after that, in the, like, we would be in the kitchen and he was very much flirty and chatty with me, saying that he wanted to Chat. And I was all for it. I was like, I didn't know that there was anything between us, but after talking, I was like, I'm here on Love Island. I'm gonna talk to men.
Alex Cooper
Dude, you got yourself in another pickle, because basically, you eventually had the opportunity to chat with Gaul. The vibe was there. You two kissed pretty soon after you told Dylan this and you admitted this to him. But I do think it's important to clarify. You had told Dylan and basically every single person in the villa that you wanted to explore Gaul and see if anything was there, and there was no dishonesty this time. There was nothing of that sort. And then when you told him, Dylan started to cry. What was your reaction to him getting so upset, even though you had been so honest?
Kenzie
Yeah, I think that me and Dylan just had an amazing day that day, and we got really deep in the conversation, so I don't. I don't fault him for. His feelings were so valid. I was wanting to have that conversation with golf days before it happened, but we got so close, and seeing him emotional like that, I was like, wow, this guy actually cares about me. I was just in a relationship a week before with Corbin where he flipped on a dime. So it didn't. I. I didn't know if this was real for anyone else. Like, it was for me. And then that helped me let down my guard with him, because I was like, damn, he cares about me. Yeah, dude.
Alex Cooper
How did you feel when you saw that? All of America thought that he was giving fake tears.
Kenzie
I know. That actually crushed my heart. It really, really did crush my heart, because I don't think anything about him is fake at all. And even since we got off, like, the first thing I said to him was like, do you still like me? And he's like, yeah, of course. Like, I was honestly scared. And then in our hotel room, we've basically been in the hideaway, like, every single day. And he is exactly the same as he is off camera. And even his friend Brandon said that, and that helped so much on Family Day when he. I was like, oh, my gosh. Like, finally, like, this guy's true. He's real. He's not doing it for the cameras. He's not. Yeah. And he's not even seeing that. People were saying, he's an actor. Like, what? He's been in one music video. Like, he didn't even say a word. What are you talking about?
Alex Cooper
Like, he's been in a music video.
Kenzie
Yeah, it's, like, in a Camaro or some shit. And he's like, they flip in the car and he's, like, making out with her.
Alex Cooper
So la.
Kenzie
Yeah. Yeah. I was just like, oh, my God.
Alex Cooper
Okay, let's go back to movie night. Quickly. When the video showed the clips between Caleb and Corbin, where you basically told Corbin, when I was kissing him, I was thinking of you. And then we see you say to Caleb, I feel like I have more in common with you than I do with Corbin.
Kenzie
Yeah.
Alex Cooper
What was going through your head when you had to watch this in front of all of your peers?
Kenzie
Oh, my God. I was like. Like, no, literally, I was like, this is about to be so. But honestly, seeing it, I was like, okay, that was. That was shitty of me, and I shouldn't have gone about it and said certain words that I did, and I could see more of why Caleb felt so let on. And it. It did make me feel awful. And I just. I wanted to take that time. Like, I. I was processing it, and I'm like, okay, like that. I'm sorry. I didn't want to hurt anyone.
Alex Cooper
Well, I think it was refreshing because you took accountability right away. And we watched at movie night, so many people be like, well, but when it came to their issues, you were immediately like, yeah, I fudged up. I was wrong. But I think something that rubbed people the wrong way was it felt like Dylan was kind of just, like, adding on to the fire because he was like, I just felt like I watched the entirety of last night on repeat. What was confusing is, from what we understood, the Casa boys, like, saw a lot of this season prior to them coming in. So he was fully aware of how you had been moving in the dynamic with Caleb and Corbin. What. How did it feel to kind of have your character be questioned by someone you were in a relationship with?
Kenzie
Yeah, definitely. It. Yeah, it didn't feel good. I had conversations with him, and I was like, that hurt that you did jump in on that. But at the same time, it was in front of his face. Face. More like, that was just in front of my face, and I could see how I was doing that. It's different. I feel like when you're just watching it. And also, I knew he was scared because he doesn't want me to do that to him. And I probably would feel the same way if I was watching it on
Alex Cooper
the other side and he kept harping on it. But I do think now, again, I think we all, as viewers have to recognize there's such heightened emotions in this villa, and there's so much going into it. That it's. It's like seeing it in 4K. Yeah, it's gonna cause a lot of emotions.
Kenzie
Yeah.
Alex Cooper
The girls in the villa really let you know they did not approve of how you were moving. Kada went as far to say it's giving Sincere. What did it feel like to hear?
Kenzie
That definitely hurt, but I. I listen to them. Like, I hear them out. And if that's how everyone was seeing it, then I'm gonna take it with a grain of salt. But, yeah, it hurt. I was very emotional, crying in the shower a lot, like, just feeling hurt. Jaden was the only one that came up to me and was like, I don't think you did anything wrong, babe. And I. I lost her later during the compatibility challenge, and that sucked. And then, like, Jen, she tells me straight up how she feels, but she always supported me. And, yeah, it was hard.
Alex Cooper
Aside from the one secret kiss you had, you were so upfront with Caleb Club Sincere was repeatedly lying to Melanie and essentially everyone in the villa and casa more through his entire experience. What are some examples that you can give that highlights how different your situation was to Sincere's?
Kenzie
Yeah, I feel like he did lie a good bit to not only Melanie, but, like, some other girls and his guy friends. Hence why Corbin picked him in, like, the challenge too. I never called them any names like, fake promises, and I tried to be as open as possible to who I was talking to. And I know he said something about, like, when he was in Casa about, like, it was a test for him a little bit, which I don't ever feel like any of my connections were at me testing another connection with someone else. It was just me seeing if we could. Could connect on that level. There was never any who's better kind of thing.
Alex Cooper
Who, you know, quickly after movie night, we saw a lot of the women in the villa support Sincere. Even being like, I'm team Sincere, like, fully supporting him even after watching him on 4K. Why do you think the girls were holding you to a different standard?
Kenzie
I don't know why the girls were holding me to a different standard than Sincere. It's especially like, after getting out, it does feel, like, sexist almost, because I'm like, I'm not a male, and it's like, I can't move like them, maybe. And I don't know. Yeah, it felt. It was hard. I didn't feel that supported at that time. Except from, like, Jaden.
Alex Cooper
Did you feel like. Because I. I can imagine, Kenzie, like, you're blindsided again, not only because they're treating you that way. Way they're supporting sincere who is doing 10 times worse than you. Like. Do you feel like that impacted your friendships for a little bit?
Kenzie
Yeah, probably a little bit. Just when you don't feel as supported as you want to feel from your friends. But we did get over it and we talked about it, but yeah, definitely hurt.
Alex Cooper
Is there any moment that comes to mind from your Love island experience where you felt like. Like you were being judged for exploring completely unfairly considered what the men were doing in the villa, like another double standard that you can think of?
Kenzie
Probably just like my love triangles and just getting on and me feeling like I couldn't talk. I wasn't allowed to talk to two people at once. Talk like it just made no sense in my mind. I'm like, where are we right now? I'm. I'm very confused and feeling like I was just getting on over and over for exploring when no one was closed off. So it's like that's.
Alex Cooper
I think a lot of the viewers felt that way and they were frustrated in some capacity with the season. I think people loved when Seoul was like, this is couples Island. You guys are not even two weeks in. Yeah, let's open it up a little bit. So I could see where that would be frustrating. Call Her Daddy is brought to you by Zip Recruiter. Here's the thing.

Kenzie
Yes.
Alex Cooper
Okay. Who do you think was the strongest couple? Couple.
Kenzie
Kaden, Zach.
Alex Cooper
Who do you think played it the most safe?
Kenzie
Maybe like Melanie and sincere.
Alex Cooper
Okay, what's your number one? Flirting? Tip.
Kenzie
Winking. Looking. Doing the triangle. When you look at one eye, you look at the other eye and you look at their lips.
Alex Cooper
Oh, my God.
Kenzie
You just did it to me. I was like, where are we going?
Alex Cooper
Yeah. Oh, a mini. Oh, I like that. Yes. Yes. When you got your phone back, who was the most surprising person in your DMs?
Kenzie
Shit, I haven't even looked at my DMs.
Alex Cooper
That so shows you have a man. I'm dead. You've been so holed up with your man, you're not even worried. Who do you wish you would have kissed? And you didn't.
Kenzie
I kiss everyone, okay? I kiss everyone.
Alex Cooper
Okay. Have you seen that Corbin doubled down calling you sincere in his post Villa interview?
Kenzie
Yes, I saw that.
Alex Cooper
How do you feel about that?
Kenzie
No comment. Okay.
Alex Cooper
No comment. Okay. Where do you and Zach stand today? Are you guys friends? People had, like a misunderstanding about that.
Kenzie
Me and Zach are besties. He's funny as fuck, and I love Kada. I would always third wheel with them there. I don't think that they showed that as much. But yes, after we had that little tiff, I didn't talk to him for a week. Week straight. Straight. And I wouldn't let him look in my eyes. That is true. I was like, the only thing this man commented on me was my fucking eyes. So you're not gonna be able to see it. Like, literally, I'm not looking at you. But after that, we did talk. I. I told him that, you know, I was sorry, but I'm not gonna waste my time on a guy that's not interested in me. I'm gonna explore my options. Hence why I was talking to Sean. More like, I'm obsessed with you.
Alex Cooper
You're walking around with your eyes closed. You're like, don't look at me.
Kenzie
I know. He's like, can I put you for a chat? I'm like, dude, no.
Alex Cooper
I don't know if you've obviously seen the Internet, but there is a lot of conversation around Melanie and sincere. Do you think Melanie should stay with sincere?
Kenzie
I think Melanie deserves the world, but I love sincere. I do. He's an amazing person, but I think Melanie deserves.
Alex Cooper
Is he an amazing person?
Kenzie
He's a good. He's a good person. I just don't know if they're great together.
Alex Cooper
Okay. Okay. And maybe they played it a little safe.
Kenzie
Yeah. Cuz she was always just for him. Kind of like she always just wanted him. But I don't know if Sincere. Play it safe.
Alex Cooper
But he did not play it safe. He did not play it safe. Where were you when TT And Trinity were fighting? At the fire pit.
Kenzie
TT And Trinity, you and Melanie, it looked like.
Alex Cooper
Did you leave the fire pit?
Kenzie
Are you allowed to say, I'm not sure, Honestly, I might have been taking a. Or something.
Alex Cooper
There's no way you left. They were mid fight and it seemed like you weren't at the fire pit. Were you at the fire.
Kenzie
Wait, no, I was at the fire pit. Then I was.
Alex Cooper
Oh, you were?
Kenzie
Yes, I was.
Alex Cooper
When TT Entered and was like, I'm
Kenzie
TT I was at the fire pit.
Alex Cooper
I was like, this.
Kenzie
I was like, holy crap. She was like, oh, you're A little girl.
Alex Cooper
I was like, oh, okay, you were there.
Kenzie
Yeah.
Alex Cooper
And you were there the whole time?
Kenzie
Yeah.
Alex Cooper
Okay, Good to know.
Kenzie
We needed to hear that. I never left.
Alex Cooper
No. You weren't taking a.
Kenzie
No.
Alex Cooper
How did you feel about Trinity calling Zach and Kate? And is exclusivity a situationship?
Kenzie
Okay. I don't agree with that. I really don't. Exclusive being exclusive. That's what my parents said they would like. I just see it as. My parents were dating for seven months. The first thing my dad said to my mom is, can we please be exclusive? Because they were dating other people. And that's a step in the right direction to me. And he, Zach, he just wants to ask her outside of here and have it just be them. And I think that's like romantic as fuck. He wants to do something more romantic with her. So I don't agree with that comment. Great. Like, a situationship is when you're like, with a fudgeing group of friends and you're just fudgeing, like, and it's like, oh, you're hot. You're hot. I'm.
Alex Cooper
Yes. What is this lingering beef with Parmita?
Kenzie
I don't know. I don't know. I feel like I've apologized a ton of times, so I don't know what more I can do. And then when I said like, I love you to her, it's because she was leaving and I just wanted to give her compassion and love at that time. Time and then using it against me. I don't know. I don't know. I was actually shocked at like after Sun.
Alex Cooper
Well, your response was so perfect. Were you surprised when on after sun tt said that she wouldn't be friends with certain people after the villa?
Kenzie
I was a little surprised. But I do get where she's coming from. Cuz after we did the music or like the little karaoke dance, she. She felt like a lot of people were shocked, shocked by her being chosen. Her and Casey, which I think we were just kind of more shocked that Kate and Zach weren't in the top four than that. But I think that her, of course her feelings are valid. There's reasons she feels the way she feels.
Alex Cooper
So okay, you guys. After Post Villa went to Hibachi the other night and a video started circulating from Soul's live stream. Someone's talking about Melanie in the background. We hear something along the lines of it was always the Melanie show. Some. Anyone who was close to her got to stay. Like, it sounded like light talking. There was speculation at first. It was you Then there was speculation it was Jaden. Tell us what happened, Ken.
Kenzie
Me and Jaden were definitely, like, talking about them, but not in a awful way. Like, I love Melanie and I'm gonna stand by her. She definitely. I feel like we were just saying she did. Did get a lot more screen time than a lot of other people who were in couples at like, like, wanted to talk, but it was never any shit talking about her. I would never talk shit about my girl. And Jaden likes her as well.
Alex Cooper
So do you think that people are going to think that you got like, that's like, oh, you guys are jealous because she just got screen time.
Kenzie
I mean, they can think that that's fine, but that's. That's what we were, like, talking about. Yeah.
Alex Cooper
So you were just talking about how she got more attention?
Kenzie
Basically, yeah.
Alex Cooper
Have you seen all of the brands being like, we will literally give you a year supply of this, or we'll give you a car, we'll give you free whatever if you leave sincere here.
Kenzie
No.
Alex Cooper
Oh, my God. You need to open your phone.
Kenzie
Oh, my God.
Alex Cooper
No. It's a lot. Kenzie.
Kenzie
It's a lot insane.
Alex Cooper
Okay, like, what is the biggest difference between day one, Kenzie and Kenzie sitting here now?
Kenzie
I've changed so much. It's crazy. I still feel like I'm the same exact person, but I've learned how to communicate better. I think going in, I wasn't able to do that as well. And getting everyone's feedback, my girls, the guys, guys. I feel like I've changed and I've grown. This experience at like, social experiment or whatever the you want to call it has changed me. I'm just. I mean, even. Even all the hate or whatever, it's just like, I didn't know I would act so positively about it of just being like, I'm just gonna. It. I don't. I don't feel anything from it. I'm like, God knows who I am. My family knows who I am. My family's proud of me, and that's all that matters. And my friends, like, I have them. Like, I. I've gained so much from this. Even just talking to you, girl, I fudgeing love you.
Alex Cooper
No, I love you. And I really hope that the energy stays the same because I know that post Villa, there can be so much drama that comes even more drama somehow. But it seems like you're really happy. You and Dylan announced that you are exclusive. Obviously. I know that you live on the east coast is. He lives on the west coast. Like, Are we doing long distance? What are we doing?
Kenzie
I don't want to do long distance. I want to move here. I was thinking, even before the show, I wanted to be a nurse in Miam or California. And everyone was always like, well, good luck with that girl. How are you gonna. How are you gonna do that?
Alex Cooper
Oh, you'll be just fine.
Kenzie
Yeah, but now I definitely want to live over here.
Alex Cooper
Wait, so are you going to continue to pursue nursing or do you think you're going to lean into, like, LA Hollywood?
Kenzie
I think I'm gonna do a little bit of both. I want to continue doing classes online and keep my education going. I also need to take the nclex, like, soon. I don't know when I'm gonna have time to study. Right now I'm like, I feel like my eyes haven't shut since I've left the villa, but that is definitely on my bucket list. I want to do that and then continue nursing classes.
Alex Cooper
Have you seen everyone saying that you need to go on Dancing with the Stars?
Kenzie
Yes.
Alex Cooper
Are you. Do you, like, watch dancing?
Kenzie
But I love Dancing with the Stars. Ever since I was, like, two, my parents would watch me, like, sit on my feet. Wouldn't even reach the end of the couch, and I would just sit, watching the whole thing for hours. I wouldn't move. Like, that's what also got me into dancing later. I love to dance. Love watching this them. Love them.
Alex Cooper
So you would say that's one of, like, your top priorities. If you could, like, do something crazy outside of the middle, dancing with top
Kenzie
priority would be dancing with the stores 100.
Alex Cooper
I really like that for you.
Kenzie
Thank you.
Alex Cooper
What do you hope? Thinking about it, obviously, and you just got out of the villa, but where do you hope you are a year from now when the next season of Love island starts?
Kenzie
Man, I have no idea. Maybe I just want to be in, like, Hawaii and have some. Like, have some smoothie, acai bowl with Dylan and then hopefully, you know, be boyfriend, girlfriend. I want to maybe one day have surf babies. I want to learn how to surf, too. I told him. I was talking to him last night. I was like, I want to have five. He's like, five. I'm like, yes. And then we're going to adopt, too.
Alex Cooper
So wait, we're adopting?
Kenzie
But not yet. But, like, I do.
Alex Cooper
Okay, wait. And have you guys, like, hooked up on the beach yet?
Kenzie
That is coming soon, and I've been waiting to do that. We're about to do that. That.
Alex Cooper
Can you make sure you bring a blanket? Because as Great as it sounds, Kenzie, the sand in the. No, I'm not. I'm not trying to say that your whole fantasy isn't going to be great, but just like, bring some situation so it's not just sand in the vagina. I got you. I got you.
Kenzie
Have you ever had sex in the sea?
Alex Cooper
In the sea? Yeah. No. No, I haven't had sex in the sea. Is that something you're now adding to the bucket list?
Kenzie
I was also asking him, like, should we do it there, too? But, like, we'll see.
Alex Cooper
This man is like, I love my life so much, dude. I'm dying. Is there anything left that you feel like maybe was misinterpreted from your time in the villages, from little things that you're seeing that you're like, oh, I really want to clarify this because I don't think it's an indication of who I am.
Kenzie
Yeah. I think there's only, like, so much that they can show because there's 24, you know, 24 hours in a day. You're showing one hour of how many people. It looks at the beginning like, I'm like this blonde bimbo sex addict where I'm like, that's not me. They. They didn't get to see all of me. And I'm just hoping that people can see who I am now because that I. I definitely do make jokes like that and it's fun and I'm. I'm witty and weird like that. I'll say that. But that's not all of me.
Alex Cooper
Right? It's like, yeah, it's a TV show. There's so many different cast members. So you're only to get so much time to actually put together your personality. What did you, your dad and mom think about how you were portrayed?
Kenzie
My dad was like, damn. Like, that's not. That's not all of her at all. They were thinking that they're just not showing my whole me and who I am. And I think that's what was amazing about Family Day, is that people could see where I came from and how much I love them.
Alex Cooper
No. I'm so happy for you, Kenzie. I will just say, like, I hope the best for you. I think now, having met a lot of people, obviously when I interview them from Love island, there's so much attention that comes with all. All of this, and I wish you the best in navigating it. I can imagine it's so overwhelming going from a summer with no phone to now. The world is watching you and I am sending you all the good vibes. Truly, like, seriously, you deserve the best. And I'm so happy we got to meet.
Kenzie
And so happy we got to meet. You have no idea. I'm still fangirling over here. I feel like I'm in a damn dream.
Alex Cooper
Thank you.
Kenzie
I'm like, let, like, let pinch me. Alex Coover's talking to me.
Alex Cooper
She's pregnant.
Kenzie
Like I'm in a dream, bro. Going to watch your dick sucking the video right after this again.

Podcast Host: Alex Cooper
Guest: Kenzie (Love Island USA)
Episode Date: July 15, 2026
In this engaging, unfiltered conversation, Alex Cooper sits down with Kenzie—one of this season’s most talked about Love Island contestants—for a complete debrief of her experience on the show. The episode delves into Kenzie’s whirlwind journey from nursing school grad to reality TV fame, her romantic entanglements, friendship drama, public perceptions (and misperceptions), and what’s next for her life and career. Keeping true to the Call Her Daddy style, the discussion is candid, light-hearted, and loaded with both heartfelt and hilarious moments.
Fandom and Life Pre-Love Island:
“You are the reason I know how to suck dick. No joke. And I get compliments all the time. And it’s because of you.” (Kenzie, 02:54)
Manifesting the Experience:
Self-Image and Confidence:
“I’m a goddess. I love myself. I pray that God gives me all that love and support.” (Kenzie, 16:49–17:14)
Personal Approach to Romance and Sex:
“I needed that connection...It made me feel kind of icky. I was just like, I like to be a relationship girl.” (Kenzie, 09:55–10:15)
Initial Pairings and First Bumps:
Love Triangles & Emotional Turmoil:
Caught between Corbin and Caleb—details challenges and confusion (“my mind can’t compute”). The show’s etiquette varies by season and cast, contributing to her uncertainty (32:07–35:10).
Admits to secretly kissing Corbin while coupled with Caleb—regrets the secrecy and leading people on (39:05–41:46).
“My heart was still with Corbin. It’s just...I wasn’t able to tell him that.” (Kenzie, 41:03–41:44)
Friendship Highs and Lows: Melanie & Villa Politics:
“She was my best friend in there...I just felt blindsided.” (Kenzie, 25:09–26:58)
Handling Backlash, Gender Double Standards:
Details feeling harshly judged for “playing the field” while men like Sincere were treated differently despite more egregious behavior (55:04–57:07):
“It does feel, like, sexist almost, because I’m not a male and it’s like I can’t move like them, maybe.” (Kenzie, 57:07)
Casa Amor Reactions:
“It did help. It definitely helped. I loved it...I was ready to fucking dance.” (Kenzie, 45:51–46:30)
Post-Corbin Strength:
“My man will never talk down on me or disrespect me in front of his friends. That does not fucking matter… No woman deserves to be treated like that. No one.” (Kenzie, 47:52)
Initial Attraction & Public Scrutiny:
“I don’t think anything about him is fake at all…He’s exactly the same as he is off camera.” (Kenzie, 51:52)
Looking Ahead:
Frustrated by limited focus on her personality’s wittier, deeper sides, versus just the sexual edit:
“It looks at the beginning like, I’m like this blonde bimbo sex addict...that’s not me. They didn’t get to see all of me.” (Kenzie, 72:04)
Thanks to Family Day, felt vindicated when viewers saw more of her values and upbringing (72:44).
On Empowerment and Moving On:
“Blocked. Straightaway blocked. I’m done.” (Kenzie, 48:28)
On Her Signature Move:
“It was the clam slam that was heard all the way at Casa More, heard around the world.” (Alex, 45:21)
On Relationships and Loyalty:
“You can pick yourself back up...with all the positive energy...It’s just all you.” (Kenzie, 16:49–17:14)
