Hannah Fields, the recently dumped contestant from Love Island USA, has opened up about her connections with Charlie Georgio and Pepe Garcia-Gonzalez in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE.

Hannah, 23, was dumped alongside Jeremiah Brown on the June 22 episode of the hit Peacock series, leaving behind Pepe and breaking up one of the villa's few solid couples. Now, she's had some time to reflect on her journey and is shedding some new light on what went down in the villa and who she thinks she'll pursue a relationship with in the real world.

"I think my connections with both of them were very different," Hannah says. "And maybe it would've played out differently if Charlie was still there, but I saw a completely different side of Pepe after Charlie left, and I maybe would never have known that about him."

Hannah describes her connection with Pepe as "super mature" and reveals that many of their sweeter moments were "not shown" on the show. "Our connection was not really shown, but literally everyone was always taking pictures of us and being like, 'Oh my gosh, so cute.'" She adds that she had a "super funny" dynamic with Charlie, but didn't get as deep into it with him before he was dumped.

Hannah says she's open to talking to both Charlie and Pepe in the real world and wants to see how their relationships could play out outside of the villa. "Only time will tell," she says. "I'm not forcing anything. I think it's really up to how they both feel."
