“Love Island USA” contestants Iris Kendall and TJ Palma look like they may be giving things another shot back home on the mainland … because she’s hanging out with him, and not Pepe Garcia.
TMZ obtained video from Iris and TJ’s reunion Monday night in Los Angeles … they were coupled up in Fiji before TJ got eliminated — now they’ve reunited in L.A. and it looks like the sparks are flying.
Check out the clip … Iris and TJ are hugging, smiling and flirting … and we’re told they went on a walk and talk for about two hours before going into his place, where they were greeted by fellow ‘Love Island’ contestant Austin Shepard.
It’s pretty interesting to see Iris and TJ together again — and so soon. Iris coupled up with Pepe after TJ left the villa, and she and Pepe made it to the show’s final four.
We saw Iris and Pepe leaving Fiji with the rest of the finalists … they were holding hands and she was sitting on his lap … but as soon as she landed at LAX, she basically went straight over to TJ’s rental.
We’re told Iris’ friends dropped her off at TJ’s place … and in the video, you see him come out to meet her on the street … and they sit down for a chat.
TJ was hoping for a reunion with Iris once she left the villa … and it looks like he got his wish.
Pepe didn’t go to L.A. with the rest of the islanders and instead went home to nearby Orange County to see his parents and his dog … opening the door for Iris and TJ to hang out.
Guess we’ll have to wait until Pepe is back in the picture to see who Iris chooses. 👀
Anderson Silva

… He’s A ‘Real Fighter’

Even though he lost to Jake Paul in 2022, Anderson Silva has nothing but praise for the guy … telling TMZ Sports El Gallo deserves more credit for not only what he’s done for boxing — but for his fighting skills, too.
We caught up with Spider to talk all about his upcoming bout against Tyron Woodley on the Dec. 19 card in Miami … and the combat sports legend says his main goal is to prove his respect for the sport and his opponent.
Silva was originally slated to go up against Chris Weidman … but even with the switcharoo, he’s feeling good and confident leading up to fight night.
Of course, Spider AND Woodley have fought and lost to Paul … and he said he’s watched his opponent’s bouts against the internet superstar as part of his training.
As for working with Most Valuable Promotions again, Silva said the organization is doing an “amazing job” … especially with Paul “changing the game” for fighters and fans.
While folks will be tuning in to see two champs duke it out, all eyes will also be on Paul against Silva … and even though he didn’t give a prediction on the outcome, there was a ton of praise for the Problem Child.
Silva calls out “lazy people” who criticize Paul … ’cause they’re not putting in the same amount of work he is in his craft … they’re just talking.
“The people don’t give the credit to Jake, and the people need to do that. I respect Jake. He’s a real fighter.”

The singer-songwriter was spotted in her familiar gameday box alongside bestie Selena, both seen glued to the action as Killa Trav and the squad played in primetime on Sunday night.
Swift’s a regular feature at Chiefs games … while she wasn’t in Dallas for K.C.’s Thanksgiving match against the Cowboys, she was on the edge of her seat during the Chiefs nail-biter against the Indianapolis Colts … Selena on the other hand looking seemingly confused.

While Travis is focused on leading his team to the playoffs, fans of the couple are hanging on every rumor about the couple’s wedding … even one claiming the pair bought a wedding date from another pair of lovers.
Reports surfaced last week alleging Taylor and Travis are going to marry at Ocean House in Westerly, Rhode Island on June 13 next year after giving a couple money to get married a different day.
However, we spoke to Ocean House, and they called BS … saying the venue doesn’t allow couples to sell wedding dates, full stop.
One challenge at a time though … Texans game first — happily ever after later!
