It’s no secret that the relationship between Keylor Martin and Aaron Evans has caused mixed emotions among viewers. Love Island USA This season, one person in particular seems to have strong opinions.
In social media posts on July 3 and 5, Kaylor’s mother, Kara Kaylor Stewart, spoke out about her daughter’s relationship with Aaron. After fans saw that Aaron, 26, appeared to cheat on Kaylor, 22, on their final day at Casa Amor and then not be honest about his actions, her mother had some harsh words for Aaron.
“My heart aches for you and I wish I could take on the pain and suffering you endure,” she wrote. “Kaylor, your strength to those you love and your insistence on believing in and trusting one another. And above all else…your loyalty to your friends and your willingness to do whatever it takes to help them feel joy and experience peace and serenity…it’s a God-given asset you have been blessed with!”
She continued, “I’ll be honest with you, I was initially shocked when you chose Aaron to date me, as he lacked the physical traits and looks that you claim and absolutely must have before considering someone as a date. And even more surprising is his delicate emotional impairment, on top of the verbal outbursts, tantrums, complete disrespect and constant whining reminiscent of a hormonal teenager…I am genuinely concerned…Just saying!!”
She further encouraged her daughter to learn from her experience with Aaron, cherish it and know what she deserves in the future.
During his time at Casa Amor, Aaron pursued another newcomer, Daniella Ortiz Rivera, and faced backlash from audience members when their relationship progressed faster than expected. During his three-day run, Aaron was filmed getting physical with the 22-year-old Daniella and briefly telling her, “I feel like I love you so much already.”
Plus, Aaron and Kayla got into an argument about what happened outside the villa in the wake of his relationship with Daniella, but viewers have pointed out that Aaron isn’t telling them the whole story.
A few days after her initial post, Cara returned to social media to share some more thoughts.
“My beautiful angel, I am so proud that you are down to earth and know you deserve better!,” the post began. “Kaylor, I wish I could be by your side, hold you when you cry, kiss you on the forehead and assure you that everything will be fine in God’s timing. Baby girl… you will find the man you love, your best friend, the man who would lay down his life for you, an altruistic man – a man who only cares about your needs/wants/hopes and forgets about himself. A faithful man is not hard to find. Unfortunately, the man I’m talking about is not Aaron (he’s a boy).”
Cara praised Keillor for standing up for herself and said she was proud of her for expressing herself with “class, integrity and strength.”
“Aaron was only thinking about his own feelings, not yours,” she concluded.
Carla was proud of her daughter for standing up to Aaron, but the feeling didn’t last long and the two soon rekindled their romance. During a particularly emotional fight, Aaron told an infuriated Kayla, “I love you so much. I told you so.” This caught Carla off guard and she confessed that she loved him too.
The pair have since officially become romantically involved, but viewers are starting to express concerns about Aaron’s approach to their relationship.

I really love her,” Walker explained, “I’ve always said she’ll be my bridesmaid or bridesmaid for the rest of my life because she’s such a loyal person and she sees the good in everyone, even if someone has hurt her.” [Aaron] “I’ve failed her so many times. This is a difficult situation because I love Aaron so much too. He cares about her so much too and he knows he’s messed up a lot.”
She continued, “Personally, I think if he was given the opportunity to explain what he did, he should tell us everything! I feel like he’s just saying he forgot and not telling us everything.” [about things that happened with Daniela Ortiz-Rivera in Casa Amor] It just made things worse.”
She added that if she were Keillor, she wouldn’t accept Aaron.
