During her time in the Love Islandvilla, Raphaëlla had a lot to choose from. For example, she first had to compete against bombshell Fabiënne, and then was dumped after Casa Amor. The Miss Belgium finalist has therefore shed some tears. That is why Sander nicknamed her ‘cry girl’. ‘That was really painful for me’, Raffie now says on social media.

She understands that it is difficult for the viewer to form an image of her with only 40 minutes of airtime, but says she has been struggling for years with expressing her feelings.
