‘We All Love Each Other’

The couple joined the show so Grant could prove he had changed, but things didn’t go according to plan.

Early on, Ashley remained committed to Grant, choosing to focus on self-growth while casually getting to know some of the single men in the villa, including Danny Spongberg.

Danny, one of the four singles living with Ashley, Alexa, Shanté, and Tayler, quickly emerged as someone she connected with, but it wasn’t romantic, at least not at first.

Everything changed during one of the early bonfire ceremonies when Ashley watched a shocking clip of Grant kissing Natalie Cruz and later engaging in a steamy shower hookup with her. The scene shattered the boundaries the couple had set before entering the experience and left Ashley reeling.

From that moment on, she declared herself single and began forming deeper connections with both Danny and fellow single Logan.

As the season progressed, Ashley found herself gravitating more toward Danny. She often spoke about how safe he made her feel, and the two shared meaningful one-on-one time that deepened their bond.

By the final episodes, she was taking Danny on more dates, including the all-important overnight date.

During the final bonfire, Ashley and Grant came face to face. While Grant appeared open to reconciliation, Ashley wasn’t interested. She confronted him about his betrayal and made it clear that there was no path forward for them.

“The objective of us coming here was for you to prove that I could trust you, and within a matter of days you were telling multiple girls in the house that it’s not working [between us] and we’re not meant to be, and then railing some girl in the bathroom,” she told Grant at the bonfire. “You’re a serial cheater.”

In the end, Grant left the island alone, while Ashley walked away hand in hand with Danny, closing the chapter on her past and stepping into something new.

While Danny and Ashley are not romantically connected, they have kept in touch and are extremely close friends, along with Logan.

“Logan and I are boys,” Danny said of his fellow castmate during a recent cast reunion, which The Blast got an exclusive sneak peek of. “There’s a ton of things why Logan and I connected. I was living in Nebraska. He was living in Iowa. He was 22 at the time. I was 22. He sells solar. I sell solar. So immediately we became good friends.”

The duo actually live together now, and have “created a throuple” with Ashley. “We all love each other. We love being around each other,” he explained. “It’s just kind of one of those really fun things where it’s, like, when we’re together, it’s all love.”

While Danny admits Ashley likes to make “smirky remarks” about them, he played coy when it came to his physical connection with her.

“We were able to all sleep in the same bed in Cabo without any sexual interaction happening between all of us,” he said of his trip with Logan and Ashley. “It was chaotic, but we’re able to have that kind of separation while being completely together.

“But it’s definitely just fun,” he continued. “Just being with them two and just having such a good friendship and such a good connection.”

During the reunion, Danny also reflected on his entire “Temptation Island” experience, calling it a “God-given blessing.”

“It is insane the amount of love and support I’ve gotten,” he added. “I couldn’t have made it through all of this without the guys that we met on the show. Ultimately, those guys, like, we were in the thick of it with each other and then outside of it, we’re still all really good friends. No hate between anyone.”

“Temptation Island” is currently streaming on Netflix.
