When“The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives”star Miranda Hope was spotted having dinner with Love Island’s Pepe Garcia in Miami earlier this month, it looked like a potential romance was heating up. But here’s the twist: Miranda’s keeping her options very much open, and Pepe might not even be in the final running.
According to sources close to the situation, Miranda is currently enjoying the single life and actively spending time with more than one Love Island cast member. The Pepe connection kicked off the old-fashioned way—he slid into her DMs while she was in Miami for Swim Week—but their dinner date stayed casual, with zero PDA in sight. Translation: there’s nothing serious brewing there, at least not yet.
What makes this interesting is that there’s another islander also on Miranda’s radar, though his identity remains under wraps for now. She’s essentially living the sort of romantic subplot most people only dream about, juggling attention from multiple reality TV personalities without locking down to anyone. It’s the kind of setup that would make for reality television gold if we could just get a camera crew to follow her around. Oh wait—she’s already on a reality show.
The whole scenario signals that Miranda is in a genuinely carefree moment, testing the waters without pressure to commit. In an era where reality TV stars often move fast and publicly, her low-key approach to dating multiple people simultaneously feels refreshingly unforced. Whether she’ll eventually choose between the known quantity and the mystery islander, or keep surprising us entirely, remains to be seen. For now, she’s just having fun—and honestly, good for her.
