Following her elimination from Love Island USA season 3, Genevieve Shawcross is updating the fans on whether or not she's still friends with Shannon St Claire's sister, Kylie McIlwain. On the show, Genevieve was introduced during Casa Amor alongside Leslie Golden, Isabel Johnson, Kay Taylor, and Florence Mueller. Genevieve described herself as a 22-year-old college student from West Chester, Pennsylvania, but what really stood out to the fans was her surprising connection to Shannon.
The fans were shocked to learn that Genevieve came into Love Island USA already being friends with Shannon's sister, and things got even more dramatic when Genny said that she'd like to pursue Shannon's partner in the villa, Josh Goldstein. When Casa Amor came to an end, however, Genevieve coupled up with Jeremy Hershberg. Alas, the OG islanders singled her out for being "too raunchy," which seemed to turn Jeremy off as well. And during the latest elimination round, Genny was sent home by her fellow co-stars.
Now that she's been eliminated from Love Island, Genevieve Shawcross is updating the fans on her current friendship status with Shannon St Claire's sister. As seen in the screenshots below, a fan on Instagram asked Genny if her drama with Shannon on the show had affected her friendship with Kylie McIlwain in the real world. "We just FaceTimed about all of that," Genevieve wrote, "and it's something me and her will have to discuss and work out in person." Then, a fan directly asked whether they were still friends, and Genny replied: "I don't think Kylie really recognized that me and Shannon reconnected so our friendship is just something we are going to have to work out in person when I get home. But I will always love her [obviously]." It seems like Genny's first interaction with Kylie wasn't perfect, but that she's hopeful they will work it all out soon.
Later, Genevieve addressed this situation once again, this time saying even more positive things about Kylie. "To me, she will always be one of my best friends," Genny started, "We have a very special relationship, but like I said, it's something we have to work out in person." Now that she is no longer on Love Island USA, Genevieve can reach out to Kylie at any time and set up an in-person meeting once they find themselves in the same city. The fans should stay tuned to find out what will transpire next.
Nonetheless, the show must go on, and there are still plenty of episodes to go on Love Island USA season 3. Shannon and Josh have been consistently in a good spot on the show and, at this point, they probably have a guaranteed spot at the grand finale.
Love Island USA season 3 airs Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays at 9pm ET/PT on CBS.
