Carthen explained in a June 2026 Cosmopolitan interview: “When you really care about something, you keep it very sacred and close to you.” Both had spoken openly about the stress of navigating public attention, with Vansteenberghe telling Glamour<\/a> in December 2025 that it felt like they were “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” when it came to sharing their lives online.<\/p>\n Related News Tristan Thompson Warns Klay Thompson to Not ‘Feed the Beast’ Post-Megan Thee Stallion Split<\/p>\n Nick Cannon Praises Orlando Brown, Says Sexual Encounter Joke Was ‘Hilarious’<\/p>\n Amandla Stenberg and Tomi Adeyemi are Reportedly Feuding Over ‘Children of Blood & Bone’<\/p>\n Related News<\/p>\n ‘Love Island USA’ Stars Olandria Carthen and Nic Vansteenberghe Have Reportedly Split<\/a><\/p>\n Travis Scott’s Film Journey: A Look Back as Cactus Jack Enters New Era With Paramount Deal<\/a><\/p>\n COMPLEX SHOP:<\/a> Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere.
