Parmida Claims Corbin Broke Up With Her Because He Wanted an Open Relationship After ‘Love Island USA’

Parmida Keshi and Corbin Mims announced their breakup at the Love Island USA season 8 reunion on August 31, citing incompatibility and differing relationship goals after leaving the Villa.Parmida revealed on Instagram Live that Corbin wanted an open relationship shortly after returning to the States, claiming he felt “in a cage” and didn’t want exclusivity.When Parmida began exploring other connections following Corbin’s non-exclusivity request, he reversed course and told her not to “talk to someone right away,” frustrating her further.Though Parmida Keshi and Corbin Mims thought they were an “almost perfect” match on Love Island USA season 8 because they’re both hot, it turns out their flame has burned outside the Villa.During the Season 8 reunion on Monday, August 31, Corbin and Parmida revealed they were no longer pursuing a romantic connection because they “wanted different things.” And now, Parmida has spilled the tea on Instagram Live and revealed that thing might be an open relationship.“It was still very fresh, so we weren’t ready to fully talk about everything, you know? Emotions were high, so we didn’t say much,” she said, explaining why they didn’t give too many details during the reunion special that was filmed on August 9. “But whatever we did say is the truth, like literally, we don’t want the same thing.”Parmida further claimed that he “wanted to have his cake and eat it too” when “he expressed to me that he doesn’t wanna be exclusive anymore.” She explained that he was trying to open up the relationship as soon as they returned to the States from the Villa, but she convinced him to give it a fair chance before moving on to other people.After a while, she alleged that he told her he felt like he was “in a cage” and that he didn’t want to be exclusive. “When you like someone, those words hurt, you know?” she said, adding, “So I was hurt by it, and eventually I was like, ‘You know what? I know we’re exclusive,’ or ‘we wanna be exclusive,’ or ‘We are trying, but like I’m gonna do my own thing, because I’m not trying to hear your comments all the time.’”Peacock//Getty Images“Now, did I go and tell him, ‘Hey Corbin, I’m gonna start doing my own thing?’” she continued, explaining how she moved in the relationship after his confession. “No, I didn’t have that conversation with him because at this point, I don’t feel like I need to. You’re telling me where you stand. Like, you’re telling me you wanna have your cake and eat it, too. Okay. I’m kind of mentally out already.”What’s more: when she tried to talk to other guys after Corbin claimed he didn’t want to be exclusive, he back tracked and told her not to “talk to someone right away.”“Okay, so if you can’t be okay with me talking to someone right away, tomorrow, next year, whatever the case is, then don’t say those comments. Don’t tell me those things,” she said on her live stream.During the reunion, Parmida insisted there wasn’t any bad blood between her and Corbin, even after their messy split.“After we hung out and had, like, a lot of conversations, we just realized, like, we want different things. And there was really no point of, like, being exclusive…it didn’t make sense for us,” she said, adding, “So I am happy with the memories that we made together, but I’m excited to, like, grow a friendship.”We’ll see how that goes, I guess!
