Love Island USA season seven finalist Chris Seeley is making headlines again—this time not for his romance with Huda Mustafa, but because of claims from his ex-girlfriend about who he really is off-screen. While Chris charmed millions with his respectful and gentle persona on the show, Kate Etereo—who says she previously dated him—just dropped some major revelations about her past with the reality star.
Chris Seeley’s Ex Reveals “The Real Chris”
Kate Etereo took to TikTok to share a candid selfie with Chris, confirming their past relationship. She explained that she hadn’t planned to address their history publicly, but decided to speak out after a private conversation between them reportedly leaked online. Kate made it clear that she isn’t out to bash Chris or seek drama, but felt compelled to share her truth.
“I didn’t plan to say anything,” Kate wrote, “but I also didn’t expect a private conversation to be leaked online.” She continued, “Yes, I was involved with Chris. I’m not here to trash anyone.”
Highlighting the gap between the show’s portrayal and her personal experience, Kate said, “Sometimes the version of a person the world sees is very different than the one you knew in private. It’s jarring to watch someone you had a painful history with be idolized by strangers. Especially when your hurt was never acknowledged.”
No Apology and Unhealed Wounds
One of Kate’s most revealing claims is that Chris never apologized for the pain he caused her. “If you’ve ever loved someone who made you feel disposable, questioned your worth, or twisted your emotions, know you’re not alone,” she added, offering support to others who’ve felt erased by someone else’s “curated version of reality.”
Strength and Healing After Love Island Drama
Closing out her post, Kate reminded followers she’s not seeking validation from the internet. “I know my truth and it’s valid, with or without a spotlight. I’m healing, I’m focused on building a beautiful life, and I’m sending love to anyone who’s ever felt erased by someone else’s story,” she wrote, signing off with a heart emoji.
What’s Next for Chris Seeley and Huda Mustafa?
Neither Chris nor Huda has publicly responded to Kate’s statements. As fans continue to follow the journey of the Love Island USA finalists, Kate’s story is sparking important conversations about reality TV, relationships, and the truths that sometimes stay off camera.
