During Kierstan Saulter's time on Love Island USA, fans discovered footage of the reality TV star standing in front of a Trump 2020 flag. Kierstan is also from Texas and comes from a family of police officers — she even has her dad's badge number tattooed on her, per Screenrant — which led many fans to conclude that she's a conservative Trump supporter.
Carrington Rodriguez said on the show that he and Kierstan had different lifestyles, and at the time, it seemed that he was referring to Kierstan's job in nightlife. But fans on Reddit think that he may have been referring to their different political beliefs. Carrington has posted on Instagram in support of Black Lives Matter.
For what it's worth, Kierstan addressed the Trump flag photo during her After the Island interview, explaining that the flag was not hers and that she doesn't agree with "a lot of things [Trump] says." While she appreciates Trump's stances on the police and military, she says she's not against Black Lives Matter. "I wouldn't call myself a Trump supporter," she said.
Whatever the real reason for Kierstan and Carrington's split, it seems things turned out for the best, as Kierstan found a new pal in Carrington's new boo. "I did find a genuine connection, and that was with Laurel," Kierstan told Entertainment Tonight. "She's just an amazing, genuine sweet person. I love her to death. I'm so excited to see her again after this.... She definitely is a friend for life."
