Ariana Madix is raising a glass high to JaNa Craig‘s new chapter.
Following the breakup of Kenny Rodriguez, a 28-year-old finalist from Love Island USA season six, the show’s host shared his enthusiasm for JaNa as they navigate their newfound singleness and continue to shine brightly.
Ariana shared with TopMob News correspondent Daryn Carp during the Los Angeles premiere of EA’s Battlefield 6 on July 31, “She’s exceptional. She’s consistently been a beacon of kindness, grace, and strength. I genuinely feel joy for her. I’m glad for her because it’s not just bigger, but also better.
As someone who lived through a highly-publicized separation from an ex like Tom Sandoval, I can personally attest that the rumored greener pastures after a chaotic breakup aren’t just myth – they can be real! Ariana has experienced this truth firsthand.
In a playful manner, the former star of Vanderpump Rules said, “That’s quite an escape route, discovering someone isn’t as they seemed. We stand with JaNa.
On July 27th, TopMob News reported that JaNa and Kenny, both 25 years old, ended their relationship. Later, the contestant from Destination X shared insights about their unexpected separation, having been together for a year.
In her Instagram stories on July 29, JaNa made it clear that she’s aware of various breakup explanations, but none have measured up to how awful, repulsive, and disillusioning the reality turned out to be. She revealed that learning the person she loved was not as they seemed, and that their relationship lacked authenticity since its inception, has been a crushing experience.
Additionally, JaNa has chosen not to disclose the cause behind their separation. However, she expressed her gratitude for your understanding and respect for her privacy. As a child of God, she assures everyone that she will always find peace.
In regards to Kenny’s take on the situation, he expressed on his Instagram Stories the previous day, “Over the last few days, I’ve found myself grappling with significant challenges. I’ve been trying to manage a host of feelings quietly, working through them in solitude as best I can.
Kenny pointed out that ending a relationship is seldom straightforward, especially when it’s under public scrutiny.
At times, even when you have a great deal of affection for someone, it becomes clear that the bond wasn’t built to endure in the long run, as the reality star explained. I will always cherish the moments we experienced and the memories we made together.
On Monday, August 4th at 11 PM, I invite you to join me in tuning into TopMob News for another fascinating installment of our exclusive chat with Ariana. Mark your calendars as Battlefield 6 is set to drop on October 10th, available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
To check in on where more Love Island couples stand, keep reading.
In 2018, the participants of Love Island UK’s fourth season departed the villa as a couple, but their relationship didn’t last much longer following their return from Mallorca. Since then, they’ve each taken their own paths.
In the summer of 2025, Ellie revealed in July that she was now engaged to her unnamed boyfriend, whom she started dating a year earlier and made their relationship public.
The duo initially crossed paths during season 11 of “Love Island UK.” On day 37, Uma departed along with Wil, as he was eliminated from the island following her selection by Reuben Collins.
In the summer of 2025, exactly one year since they parted ways, Uma revealed that she and Wil were now engaged. On Instagram, she shared a sneak peek of the engagement ring, saying playfully, “We’ve been keeping a secret of great significance.
For the reality star, staying on Love Island after Wil’s exit didn’t seem like an option.
She made up her mind instantly, without a second thought, as she expressed on the Not My Bagg podcast, saying, “Wil is who I choose.
She shared with hosts Lisa and Joe that she had formed a relationship with someone else. It took her a considerable amount of time to reach the level of comfort she had with her previous partner, Wil, but after only two weeks were left, she found herself in a similar situation. Instead of feigning a new connection, she decided it was more honest to be truthful about her feelings.
In the final episode, Amaya explained, “My journey here in the villa was like walking different paths. Some paths made me feel unheard and required me to suppress my love for others. However, each choice brought me closer to my Prince Charming – you, Bryan. You are a man who not only fills up my emotional tank but also embraces the torrent of my emotions. You reminded me that I am capable of soaring above any obstacle, regardless of where I land.”
The couple was crowned winners of Love Island USA season seven and went on to express their feelings:
“We are two individuals who often feel misunderstood yet understand each other,” Bryan stated during a firepit discussion. “Your eccentricity never fails to make me laugh. You have challenged me to grow as a partner, and I am grateful for that. I eagerly look forward to continuing our journey together, as you said, nurturing the seed we’ve planted.
In this reality show, it was just Olandria and Nic who started on day one and made it all the way to the finale. Throughout their journey, they kept viewers guessing as they navigated their relationship, switching between friendship and romantic involvement.
During the finale, Olandria shared her thoughts about relationships: “I believe a strong foundation is always built on friendship – without expectations or pressure, allowing two people to grow closer over time.” She went on to say, “I came to understand that the person who has been by your side through everything may very well be the one you’re destined to find.”
The other contestants couldn’t help but ponder if they were meant for each other from the start. Nic added, “I think what made our relationship special was that we missed those signs at first. We were initially invested in other connections, but I had always admired you secretly. As time went on, we both faced challenges neither of us could have anticipated. We felt lost and confused, even leaving the villa at times. When you opened the car door as I left, a sign finally appeared – a message along our life’s highway. We were given the chance to reconnect and build a bond that we didn’t know existed between us.”
As for what the future holds for #NicOlandria?
Nic wasn’t certain about our destination, if we’d end up as partners, lovers, or close friends,” he said. “Regardless, it’s been wonderful having you with me on this journey through life, and I feel like it’s the perfect match.
During the final episode, Iris shared her joy saying, “My journey on Love Island has been remarkable as it began with you being my dearest friend, and now concludes with me looking forward to deepening our relationship in reality.”
Pepe also expressed his feelings, stating, “Our connection deepened day by day throughout our shared experiences. From the very beginning, I couldn’t imagine leaving this place with anyone else but you, Iris. You have brought out a side of me that I cherish, and for that, I am grateful. Thank you for everything, from caring for each other when we entered together to nurturing our bond even more as we exit, I look forward to many more moments and memories with you.
Among Kordell and Serena’s many long-term goals? Sticking together.
And the Love Island USA season six winners are still very much in love.
On Instagram for Kordell’s birthday in May 2025, I penned: “Wishing you a most joyful birthday, my dream man personified! A year has passed, yet my infatuation remains undiminished. Witnessing your growth and the realization of your dreams is nothing short of breathtaking. I am beyond proud to see the exceptional man you’re becoming day by day. Here’s to many more birthdays together! Thank you for being an outstanding boyfriend, partner, friend, and making me the happiest girl on Earth.
Love Island USA’s season six runners-up, Leah and Miguel, are a couple who have endured beyond their time in the villa. As Miguel expressed, “Each day just gets better,” and it’s clear that Leah concurs with him.
On Miguel’s birthday in March 2025, I penned a heartfelt message on Instagram, ‘You radiate sunshine all the time, everywhere.’ I am eternally thankful for your presence in my life, bringing only love, tranquility, happiness, security, and unadulterated joy. You, my dear, could even make watching paint dry an enjoyable experience. Frankly, I couldn’t have imagined you better myself; I truly thought gentlemen like you were a thing of the past or merely characters in movies. Your soul is as pure as they come, with intentions that are nothing but noble towards all and everything.
In the summer of 2025, a year after finishing third on Love Island USA’s sixth season in 2024, JaNa and Kenny called it quits, as reported by TopMob News.
The news came as a shock to fans, who adored their sweet tributes to one another online.
For your birthday in December 2024, he expressed his heartfelt feelings on Instagram: ‘My Pookie Bear, My Love, My Heart, My Nay Nay.’ He cherished the past few months of being by her side and marveled at her courage as she conquered the world.
As a lifestyle expert, I’d rephrase it like this: “Your radiant smile illuminates every space you enter, casting a warm, inviting glow. Even when the limelight is on you, you consistently make those around you feel cherished, valued, and treasured. It’s not just your physical beauty that captivates me, but also the extraordinary charm of your character. I am truly blessed to have you in my life.
In February 2025, I added a message for Kenny on his birthday: “You’re not just my best friend, you’re my sanctuary. It’s wonderful sharing life with you. Your love gives me the bravery to be true to myself around you, and for that, I will always be grateful.
In previous seasons of Love Island, both Josh and Sophie had each attempted to find their ideal match (Josh reached third place with Lauren Richardson in 2015; Sophie entered the villa five years later). However, fate seemed to conspire when they both appeared on Love Island: All Stars in 2024, ultimately placing third.
In her Instagram post from February, she expressed, “We’re just getting started!” She also conveyed heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has been with them during their incredible journey, saying it truly makes a world of difference.
And she was correct that it was only the start of their forever journey.
In March 2025, Josh posted on Instagram: “It’s our first anniversary! I still can’t believe you’ve lasted this long with me. Here’s to many more years, I hope you know what you’re getting into. Always love you.
2021 winners of “Love Island UK” took their romantic journey from the villa into reality in August 2021, following a period where their devotion was challenged at Casa Amor during season seven.
In July 2022, they publicly ended their relationship via social media; however, a little over a year passed before they made up again. Today, Millie and Liam continue to share snippets of their shared existence on social platforms – sharing updates about their trips, fitness routines, and dates – as well as on their jointly named podcast.
On season two of Love Island USA, broadcasted during the summer of 2020, this particular couple discovered love. However, they made a public announcement about their separation in January that followed.
The first-season winners of Love Island USA (who formed a couple from the start and stayed together) continued their relationship for several months, but they decided to end it towards the end of 2019. Both parties agreed to the split, and they parted ways amicably. They merely desired different paths in life. Zac shared this update on his Instagram Stories.
In her statement, Elizabeth expressed, “Life doesn’t always unfold as we might have wanted; sometimes it takes a different course than we’d hoped for.
However, she found love again—getting engaged to Gianni Settino in December 2024.
In her Instagram post from July 2024, she wrote, “If you’re tuned into Love Island USA at this moment, let me confirm that yes, five years on, I’ve found my match again.
The second-place couple from Love Island USA dated for a while but broke up in late November 2019. They both announced the split on their respective Instagram Stories. The lacrosse coach said, “Alex and I are no longer together,” and explained that sometimes relationships just don’t work out.
Alex shared that “experiencing heartache can be tough,” expressing further that “our relationship felt like a beautiful fairy tale to me, yet sadly, not all stories have a perfect ending.
As an ardent fan, I can’t help but share my thoughts on the beloved Love Island USA couple who, despite not taking home the win, made a valiant effort to navigate long-distance relationships by traveling to celebrate holidays together. However, in a heartfelt YouTube video uploaded in July 2020, Caro openly disclosed that she had parted ways with her partner. “The truth is, he didn’t seem as devoted to our relationship as I was,” she explained. “And that’s why I chose to end things between us.
However, in October 2023, Caro stunned everyone with an amazing revelation: She had married Rene Lacad the previous month. And it was in December that she announced that she and her newlywed spouse were expecting a baby girl. Their daughter Amina was born in April 2024.
In her Instagram post for Mother’s Day 2025, she expressed gratitude by saying, “Amina, thank you for making me your mom. There’s nothing greater in life than that.
One surprising pairing from the American version was between Kyra and Cashel. After sending Cashel home, Kyra decided to quit the show to explore if there was still a chance for them. However, she discovered that he had already come back. Sadly, the music-loving duo parted ways in October 2019.
Initially, Kyra and Cashel managed to make up by the close of November, but ultimately, they decided to permanently part ways in February 2020.
Although Kyra and Cashel had patched things up by the time November rolled around, their relationship came to an end for good in February 2020.
On the NoFilter podcast, he stated, “We made a solid effort, but it seems we’re at different stages in life right now… frankly, I believe she has blocked my phone number.
Kyra continued to feature on various programs, such as “Match Me If You Can” in 2021, “The Challenge: USA” in 2022 (where Cashel also participated), and “Love Island Games” in 2023. However, she found her perfect match away from the screen with dental student and ex-basketball player Tal Sahar in 2024.
In May 2025, Cashel was imprisoned in Utah due to accusations of domestic violence and assault, as indicated by public records. The subsequent month saw additional charges being brought against him for assault and domestic violence.
As reported by NBC News, Cashel has refuted the accusations. His lawyer, Andrew K. Deesing, conveyed to the media outlet that “My client and his family are going through an extremely challenging period, and we request their privacy be honored as we tirelessly work towards clearing his name and upholding his reputation. At this point, we’re just beginning our investigation, and we currently have no additional comments.
In contrast to many doubting their longevity, the couple from the first season of the USA show, Weston and Emily, did indeed spend some time dating in reality after the show ended, but eventually parted ways.
She made it clear in a YouTube video from May 2020 that Weston and she are no longer a couple. Currently, she is single. They experienced an up-and-down relationship that felt like a roller coaster ride, particularly due to the distance as she was in college at the time. The long-distance aspect made things especially challenging for them.
In the tenth season of “Love Island UK,” the winning couple left the villa triumphantly, only to part ways a mere two months later in October 2023.
According to Sammy, the breakup came as a “total shock.”
He mentioned that we had a personal discussion, but since Jess was traveling at the moment, we hadn’t been able to meet up in person to continue it. In an Instagram Story, he expressed his intention: he wanted to determine if our relationship could be salvaged and thought this approach would be the most respectful way to proceed.
Sammy stated, “Even though things didn’t go as planned today, I truly believe Jess is a fantastic person and sincerely hope she thrives.
In the first half of 2025, Sammy made an appearance on “Love Island: All Stars”, during which he developed a romantic connection with Elma Pazar. However, speculations about their separation began circulating in June 2025.
In the inaugural winter edition of Love Island, the victorious pair swiftly formed a relationship upon winning, managing to maintain their bond amidst the numerous challenges that the villa posed.
They moved in together in 2020, but called it quits three years later.
Paige expressed during an interview for ‘Love Island: After Sun’ in June 2023 that she and Finley remain close friends. She added, “We seem to have grown apart.” However, in August 2024, Finley announced a new relationship on Instagram. Although the identity of his partner was initially kept secret, it was revealed by ‘The Sun’ in June 2025 that he is dating Jess Hale.
2020’s second-place couple from “Love Island” during Winter, Sia nnise and Luke, discovered their romance within the villa. They continued their relationship outside of the villa for approximately a year until parting ways in November 2021.
Yet, he quickly moved on and got engaged to Chelsea Menna not long after, in the year 2022 itself.
During his time at Casa Amor, the scaffolder became highly disliked in the U.K. when he broke hearts by choosing Molly over the beloved Shaughna Phillips. Eventually, the audience grew tired of the couple and voted them off the villa.
For a span of three years following their time on the island, they remained connected, but eventually parted ways in the year 2023.
The next year, they appeared on “Love Island: All Stars”. Molly paired up with Tom Clare and emerged as the winners of that season, while Callum developed a relationship with Jess Gale, making them the runners-up. However, Callum and Jess parted ways in 2024 (with Callum now dating Yasmin Deplidge), whereas Molly and Tom are still together.
Initially beloved during the sixth season, Nas eventually lost favor among fans when he left Demi Jones and began dating Eva following Casa Amor.
Nas and Eva continued their romance even after being eliminated from the show, and they officially declared their relationship status in July 2020.
In August 2023, there were whispers of an engagement between Eva and Nas after she was photographed wearing a ring on a certain finger. However, it wasn’t until March 2024 that Nas publicly announced their separation.
Or in a more conversational tone:
Back in August 2023, people started talking about an engagement between Eva and Nas when pictures emerged of her wearing a ring on her ring finger. But then, in March 2024, Nas confirmed that they had actually split up.
Nas shared on his Instagram Story that he and Eva have chosen to part ways in their relationship. There’s no animosity or blame involved; it was a mutually agreed upon and friendly choice.
He said, “Over the last few months, we’ve been trying to resolve issues, but we ultimately concluded that this was the most suitable course of action. We’re both content with how things have turned out.
Nas went on to appear on Love Island: All Stars in early 2025, but ultimately left the villas solo.
Among the unanticipated trios that emerged during the winter season, one finished in third position. However, their relationship didn’t last long; they parted ways a few months after departing from the villa.
In June 2020, Demi shared with MailOnline that the relationship is over for good. She believes the reasons were more on his side than hers, but both remain amicable. With lockdown and long distances between them, lack of communication made them grow apart.
Since my stint on Love Island, I, Luke, have found a special connection with Lucie Donlan from season five, affectionately known as the blonde bombshell. We officially confirmed our relationship in July 2020, and a year later, we were thrilled to announce our engagement.
Regarding Demi, she made an appearance on the show “Love Island: All Stars” in the year 2024. It was there that she came across Luis Morrison. Unfortunately, their relationship didn’t last long as they parted ways later in the same year.
In the sixth season, a relatively quiet couple finished in fourth position. They continued dating for several months following the show, eventually splitting up in June 2020.
In an update to share with my cherished Instagram community, I wanted to clarify that Ched and I are no longer together, but our friendship remains strong. We appreciate every bit of kindness and support you’ve shown us throughout our journey in the villa. Here’s wishing Ched nothing but the very best on his future endeavors.
Ugh, that was a tough blow. Aren’t we always frustrated when the couple who wins is among the first to part ways? Despite entering the villa as one of the latest Islanders, Greg and his beloved partner, the fan-favorite, clinched season five’s victory. However, they called it quits only a few weeks afterwards.
After some debate and disagreements regarding the circumstances of their separation (it seems Greg, a rugby player residing in Ireland, chose to end things through text messaging), Amber expressed on Loose Women, “I believe our careers and the distance were always significant factors. It was something we were aware of, so I’m not quite sure what shifted. I wanted to keep the relationship going, but it is what it is, in all honesty.
Regarding Greg, he explained on RTE’s The Late Late Show that “She resides in the UK, wherever a brand wants to collaborate with her or an event invites her, naturally, she should have it all. Consequently, I chose to return to Ireland and pursue my own endeavors here.
However, he found a new connection and kicked off 2025 by proposing to his love Jeanni Mulder.
Following an intense beginning in their relationship, the Instagram influencer and the boxer soon emerged as the strongest pair during season five. This is what made their second-place finish all the more unexpected.
In July 2024, they became engaged, precisely six months following the arrival of their daughter named Bambi. However, Molly-Mae stunned everyone with a breakup announcement in August 2024.
She regretfully disclosed on Instagram Stories that her relationship with Tommy has ended. However, she’ll eternally cherish the most valuable aspect of her life – her stunning daughter. It’s through our union that this precious child came into existence. She will always remain my top priority.
In a May 2025 episode of her Amazon Prime series, “Molly-Mae: Behind the Scenes,” she disclosed that she and Tommy decided to try their relationship again.
Without a doubt, one of the most contentious couples from season five were often debated, having faced a significant amount of turmoil. However, they silenced their critics when they managed to sustain their relationship outside the villa following their fourth-place finish in 2019.
Maura emphasized during an interview on UK’s This Morning that the key to maintaining their relationship is mutual trust, being skeptical about what’s reported in the media, and most importantly, staying humble and grounded.
However, the pair broke up in March 2020.
Maura expressed in an Instagram post that she and Curtis have chosen to go their separate ways after having shared a wonderful journey together on ‘Love Island’. She thanked everyone for their support of their relationship. Although they parted ways, Curtis continued his ‘Love Island’ stint with brief appearances on ‘Love Island: Games’ in 2023 and later on ‘Love Island: All Stars’ two years after that, where he and Ekin-Su placed third. However, the couple split up a few months later.
In a May 2025 Instagram post, as reported by People, Ekin-Su expressed that she and Curtis have chosen to part ways. She stated that this decision was not easy but was made with mutual love and respect. She further emphasized that he is an exceptional individual, and the memories they created, both within and outside the villa, will always be dear to her heart.
Approximately a year following their victory on Love Island season eight (in 2022), Davide revealed that they had separated.
@ekinsuofficial and I have parted ways,” he posted on Instagram in June 2023. “I’m thankful for the moments we experienced together, and I hope only good things for her. During this challenging period, I ask for everyone’s understanding and respect. I remain committed to supporting Ekin in every way.
Not long after, the pair rekindled their romance. However, they ended up calling it quits again.
For the past 18 months, Davide and I have experienced a rollercoaster of emotions similar to every relationship, as Ekin-Su shared on Instagram in January 2024, according to Cosmopolitan UK. We both wanted our bond to succeed because we deeply cared for each other. Regrettably, I’ve decided to part ways and move forward separately. Breakups are never straightforward. They’re tough for any couple, and we kindly ask for our privacy during this time. The moments we shared were precious to me.
In summer 2024, Davide started a new romantic relationship with Iris Au, while Ekin-Su had a brief fling with Curtis outside the villas following their third place finish on Love Island: All Stars in early 2025. Unfortunately, their relationship didn’t last long and they parted ways a few months later.
Despite entering the villa later than most other couples, with fan-favorite Ovie arriving during the controversial Casa Amor segments and India joining shortly after, this couple managed to reach the final round, securing third place in the fifth season of 2019.
However, the professional basketball player and the model quietly parted ways later that year.
She acknowledged that it’s tough, as any split is, but added to MailOnline that dealing with it in public makes it even harder. Still, she’s optimistic and feels fortunate to have a tight-knit circle of female friends who are providing her with comfort and care during this challenging time.
In early 2025, India appeared on Love Island: All Stars but left the show single.
As a lifestyle enthusiast looking back at Season 5, I found myself rooting for Lucie and Joe from day one. However, when Joe was unexpectedly eliminated from the villa, my interest was piqued as she swiftly explored romantic connections with several other gentlemen, even confessing deep feelings for a taken Tommy. Therefore, it came as quite the shock to fans when it was revealed that they had formed a connection outside of the villa after our beloved reality show concluded.
Much like the rekindling of their first love, the surfer and the sandwich maker found that their second try also failed to last, leading them to separate by early December 2019.
Meanwhile, Lucie is currently betrothed to Luke from season six, but it appears that Joe, who made his advances during All Stars in 2024, is reveling in his current single status.
After their villa stint concluded, Anton and Belle became the second pair from Season 5 to part ways quickly. However, they managed to maintain a friendship despite ruling out any potential for a romantic reconciliation in the future.
Absolutely not,” the creator of the fitness app said to Mail Online, “we’ve moved beyond just a casual relationship. It’s more like being friends with your sibling, so it’s not romantic or intimate in any way.
2024 saw Anton gracing the screen on “Love Island: All Stars”. He and Georgia Harrison finished as the fifth couple. Yet, their relationship didn’t last long after that.
