Olandria Carthen<\/a> is making some big moves\u2014but fans are divided over what those moves entail.<\/p>\n

On November 6, the Love Island<\/a> star caused a brief meltdown among Nicolandria<\/a> fans thanks to some photos that were first posted by DeuxMoi. The 27-year-old reality star shot to stardom during the most recent season of the dating show for her beauty, charm, and rom-com-coded romance with fellow Love Island-er Nicolas Vansteenberghe.<\/p>\n

But now, fans are not quite sure where they stand thanks to an image of Olandria holding hands with model Asher London Williams in New York City. But don\u2019t panic just yet. Here\u2019s what we know\u2014and what fans are theorizing these photos really depict.<\/p>\n

First, who are Nic and Olandria (a.k.a. Nicolandria)?<\/p>\n

The pair\u2014who shared a moment early on in season seven before coupling up with other contestants\u2014went particularly viral for their ultra-romantic reunion in episode 20, when Nic full-on ran<\/a> to join Olandria in a getaway car after their other relationships failed. They returned as a unit and the rest is history: They came in second place to Amaya Espinal and Bryan Arenales but were first in the hearts of Nicolandria fans, and Olandria has since made the near-impossible jump from niche reality star to full-on celebrity.<\/p>\n

We at Glamour would know. On November 4, the pair attended the 2025 Glamour Women of the Year Awards in New York City, and you\u2019d think Olandria was being honored based on all the attention she drew<\/a> from the evening\u2019s honorees<\/a>, as well as the online fans<\/a> who created their own #OlandriaxGlamourWOTY<\/a> hashtag on X.com.<\/p>\n

What have Nicolandria said about their post-show relationship?<\/p>\n

Though Nic and Olandria have been attending events together and hyping each other up since the Love Island finale aired on July 13, the pair are trying to avoid moving too fast based on all the hype from the show.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know people are expecting us to to be labeled by now,\u201d Nic said during the reunion<\/a>, which aired on August 25. \u201cWe\u2019ve always been believers in taking our time with things and not trying to let outside pressure dictate our relationship.\u201d At the time, he did confirm they were planning dates and taking trips together.<\/p>\n
