Claudia was paired up with Jordan in the first episode. When all the contestants paired up with each other, Holly Oakes Ferguson was left with no partner since women outnumbered men. But, in a twist, she was given the power to steal a man.
Thus, she chose Jordan and explained that she felt he was genuine and was in the show for the right reasons. Thus, Claudia was left with no partner and was booted in the first episode, only to make an entry in the next episode with two men, Callum and Tak.
Austen and Layla had coupled up on the first day they entered the villa. Things started to change between them when Austen showed interest in Claudia, who was single after re-entering the villa. She was booted in the first episode but returned later in the week.
The two of them even kissed in the Red Flags challenge as Layla watched her partner drift away from her. Then, they paired up in the first recoupling ceremony. Austen said that he felt he had built a connection with her briefly and paired up with Claudia, while Lyala got together with Callum.
The couple has faced many conflicts and trust issues since they paired up. In the early episodes, Austen makes a mistake and calls her by his former partner’s name, Lyla, which upsets Claudia, as per Daily Mail.
Austen apologized to her and even said how bad he felt for having misspoken. Claudia was furious about it, but she and Austen sorted things out soon.
In fact, in the previous episodes, Austen confessed to falling in love with Claudia. Their relationship had even survived the time when Claudia’s ex, Jason, showed up in the show.
Jason had said that he wanted to get back with Claudia, but during episode 19, he revealed that he was leaving the villa because he had realized that his and Claudia’s chapter was truly closed.
Claudia told him that she had eyes only for Austen. The couple is one of the strongest contestants this season, and many guess they may also be the winner.
