Ace opens the interview by explaining that he entered Love Island USA determined to stay authentic, have fun and, ideally, leave with a partner he genuinely connects with. He describes the rush of walking into the villa, admitting the cameras fade into the background once conversations start flowing. According to him, the strongest first impression he got was how welcoming the cast felt, which helped him drop any nerves and focus on bonding with the group.

Asked why viewers and Islanders quickly labeled him the “leader,” Ace says the title emerged naturally because he’s comfortable initiating group activities and checking in on everyone’s energy. He stresses that he isn’t trying to run the villa; instead, he wants to keep morale high, motivate people to open up and mediate if tension flares. Being the tallest guy makes him physically stand out, so he suspects that, along with his calm demeanor, fuels the “leader” narrative.

Height speculation has been rampant online, so Ace settles it once and for all: he’s 6 feet 4 inches tall (yes, he’s measured). He laughs that producers have joked about needing bigger beds and camera angles, but insists height is just another trait, not his selling point. What matters most to him is how he treats others and the energy he brings into a room.

On the romance front, Ace is attracted to confidence, humor and a willingness to be playful. He plans to pursue genuine connections even if that means stepping on toes, though he promises to remain respectful and transparent. He’s wary of “TV-only couples” and wants someone who will still vibe with him in the real world. If sparks don’t fly, he would rather leave single than fake chemistry for airtime.

The conversation turns to villa dynamics. Ace calls the budding bromances “essential,” arguing that a strong brotherhood makes competition healthier and keeps drama from becoming toxic. He’s already found a few close allies and hopes their support helps everyone feel safe being vulnerable on camera. Watching existing couples, he says he’s rooting for them yet prepared to explore if genuine feelings lead him elsewhere.

Ace closes by thanking fans for the surge of social-media love and teasing that viewers will soon see a softer, more emotional side of him. Whether or not he finishes the season in a relationship, he wants to be remembered for uplifting others, staying true to himself and proving that the tallest guy in the villa can also be its biggest cheerleader.
