Serena Page is laughing at Kordell Beckham in a way that's making me wonder if I should leave them alone. We're on a date at The Riff Raff Club in Manhattan, drinking French 75s and admiring the skyline view. Well, they're on a date that I've crashed in the name of asking questions. My first was going to be something about whether the couple who captivated millions of Love Island USA fans is truly in love. Real love, not reality TV love. But then Kordell fails to remember the name of their song-you know, the kind couples adopt as their own romantic theme-and Serena starts giggling ("It's 'California King Bed' by Rihanna," she says), and I already know the answer. This is an unproduced connection.

In my defense, being suspicious of a TV romance is more than fair, especially considering the number of contestants who move into the Love Island villa for clout purposes and the show's low relationship success rate. Let's also throw in the reality competition's unique setup, where prospective pairs "recouple" by switching partners every few episodes and viewers vote for their favorite duos. The constant shuffling makes any declaration of love pretty hard to buy into. Yet Kordena voters-who quickly gave Kordell, a model and aircraft fueler, and Serena, a former media planner, this celebrity couple name-still believed.

On Kordell: JW Anderson jacket. Calvin Klein boxers. The Elder Statesman socks.
