Love Island USA‘s Cierra Ortega discussed her sex life with Nic Vansteenberghe by using the villa’s code word — but did you catch the conversation?
During the Sunday, June 29, episode of the hit Peacock series, Cierra, 25, and Iris Kendall sat down for a chat about having their beds next to each other following the Casa Amor recoupling.
“Did you hear me taking my journey?” Cierra asked Iris, 25, who is paired up with TJ Palma. “Well the journey was much longer this time than the first time.”
Cierra teased her encounter with Nic, 24, adding, “And we stopped for food on the way. Hotdogs and hamburgers were ordered. We both had a full course meal. Once we finished eating we ended at a waterfall. It was beautiful.”
Who Runs ‘Love Island USA’ Stars’ Social Media While They’re in the Villa?
Meanwhile over at the other side of the villa, Nic was telling Ace Greene and Taylor Williams about the “best 40 seconds ever.” He admitted it “was still subpar” as his last sexual experience with Cierra earlier this season only lasted 25 seconds (which he upped to 30 seconds in later conversations).
While Cierra and Nic didn’t use the word sex, eagle-eyed viewers who read Us Weekly know that “journey” has another meaning for the Islanders. Hannah Fields, who was dumped earlier this season, recently revealed exclusively to Us how the Islanders find subtle ways to discuss intimate details about their personal lives.
“We had a code name for intimacy,” Hannah, 23, shared. “We would say, ‘How was your journey? What was this journey like?’ Huda [started it when she] said something like, ‘Oh, I had a journey. My journey went all the way.’”
Hannah acknowledged how her own “journey” with Pepe Garcia played out in a now-viral moment.

“We had not slept in, like, 24 hours. It had been three hours after we went to bed,” she told Us of the clip. “You kind of forget that you’re on camera. I literally always forgot that I was being recorded and it would dawn on me because I’d just see a camera and I’d be like, ‘Oh s*** I’m being recorded.’ I really didn’t think I remembered until the next day. I was like, ‘Just don’t talk about it. Nobody’s gonna know. Nobody’s gonna know what happened.’ I sit in the bathroom, like, ‘Do you think they caught that? … No.’ So when I watched the episode, I’m like, ‘Oh, I couldn’t have been less discreet.’”
In addition to Nic and Cierra — and Hannah and Pepe — there were also some obvious “journeys” between Huda Mustafa and Jeremiah Brown before his exit. The rest of the couples have yet to address their “journeys” ahead of the season 7 finale expected later this month.
New episodes of Love Island USA drop every day — but Wednesday — on Peacock at 9 p.m. ET.
