Andreina and Jeremiah Clear Up Their Relationship Status on Beyond the Villa
Sparks first flew for the Love Island USA stars during Season 7, and their chemistry has carried over into the real world.
Friends or something more? It's a question that fans of Jeremiah Brown and Andreina Santos have been asking every since their connection was cut short on Love Island USA Season 7. Finally, there's an answer.
In the Beyond the Villa Season 2 finale, Andreina was ready to get to the bottom of herself and Jeremiah's relationship. Despite describing each other as simply "best friends" since leaving Fiji, the model was off-put by Jeremiah consistently initiating flirting between the two of them.

“Jeremiah’s attractive, I'm attracted to him, I’m single, he’s single, so it’s fun, but at the same time I feel like he’s playing with my heart a little bit," Andreina said in a confessional.

She ended up confronting Jeremiah on the cast's trip to Lake Tahoe while the group was snow tubing.
“I think that when it comes to us and our friendship, I want the flirting to actually stop for good," Andreina told him. "I don’t feel like you act like you’re my friend. We’re flirting, we’re posting a lot of content together so everybody thinks we’re together and we’re not."
Jeremiah seemed taken aback by Andreina's feelings.
"Alright, then I’ll stop. That’s fair, but I never once led you on. I’m very transparent with you about where I stand," he responded. "Yes, we flirt together and if you want that to stop that’s cool, but the mixed signals thing is like...".
He quickly ended their conversation with a handshake, which left Andreina feeling as if the interaction "went bad." Later on, during a debrief with Clarke Caraway and Taylor Williams, the 24-year-old accidentally let slip that Jeremiah had kissed her off-camera just a few days before, further confusing her.
"I never said that to make him look bad," she said. "I think he’s trying to protect his image... I have all the text messages. It’s always him texting me. I’m like if we’re just friends, we don’t need to talk everyday. He’s like, 'Hey, just checking on you.' Don’t f*****g check on me. Me and Taylor are friends, he’s not checking on me."

It was then that Jeremiah pulled Andreina aside once again to end their disagreement for good, with them hugging it out.
"At first I didn’t see where Andreina was coming from because I was like I'm telling you we're just friends, how are you getting mixed signals? But if we're just friends and we're flirting like we're not just friends, that's how you give mixed signals," he said.
The final season of Beyond the Villa Season 2 is now available on Peacock.
