It looks like JaNa Craig and Kenny Rodriguez didn’t leave their love island on the best of terms.
Not long after the ex-couple from the sixth season of ‘Love Island USA‘, who had been together for a year, announced their breakup, some of their fellow cast members shared their thoughts on the separation, suggesting that it was primarily due to Kenny’s actions that led to the split.
According to Leah Kateb, JaNa’s friend who was with them in the sixth season of the reality series in 2024, the breakup seemed to be due to his dishonesty.
Speaking straight to Kenny, the individual, aged 25, expressed on an Instagram Story dated July 29th, “Be honest this time!
Furthermore, Leah claimed that Kenny was motivated by fame and wealth, and even suggested he was a fraud. She also alleged that he was attempting to portray his split with JaNa in a way that didn’t accurately represent the truth.
And their fellow season six costar Olivia Walker shared a similar perspective on the situation.
In her Instagram Story on July 29th, she expressed that Kenny’s story was so unbelievably funny it was laughable. She found it difficult to articulate the greatness of NayNay as a person and the heartache she felt seeing her endure such hardships.
In wrapping up her message, Olivia underscored her opinion that Kenny was pursuing popularity. She wrote, “I trust this brings you the recognition you’ve been after, you supposed failure.
Furthermore, aside from this incident, spectators have also been provided with additional perspectives about potential issues between JaNa (aged 28) and Kenny (aged 25). The breakup rumors started swirling when it was noticed they had unfollowed each other on July 27 following David Dobrik’s birthday celebration. However, until 10 p.m., they were still posting fun videos from the party, causing fans to speculate that something unexpected happened later during the evening.
JaNa herself provided a glimpse into why she believes their relationship came to a sudden end.
In a July 29 Instagram Story, the 28-year-old expressed that learning the truth about someone they cared for deeply was not who they believed them to be, and realizing their relationship had been false from the beginning was utterly heartbreaking.
To clarify, JaNa asserted that the speculations she’s encountered regarding their split barely scratch the surface of the hardship she endured. In her own words, “Just understand that I’ve read all the breakup hypotheses, but none have resonated with the sheer awfulness, filthiness, and disillusionment it actually held.
In her second Instagram story, JaNa described Kenny as someone who doesn’t take responsibility for his actions and fails to reveal his true character to others.
Instead of addressing his castmates’ allegations head-on, Kenny has shared his thoughts about his breakup with JaNa, expressing a hope that only the best awaits his ex-partner.
In simpler terms, he posted on Instagram on July 29th that although his feelings for someone were strong, he eventually realized the relationship wasn’t meant to last permanently. He will forever appreciate the moments they spent together and the memories they made.
Kenny said, “I’m putting out this chapter without any malice; I just wish the best for JaNa on her journey ahead.

In 2018, the participants from Love Island UK’s fourth season departed the villa as a group, but their relationship didn’t last much beyond their return from Mallorca. Since then, they’ve each followed their own paths.
In the vibrant summer of 2025, I proudly shared my joyous news – I’m now engaged! My beloved partner, who I prefer to keep private for now, and I have been delightfully in love for a year since we first made our relationship public.
The pair initially crossed paths during the eleventh season of “Love Island UK.” On the 37th day, Uma parted ways with Wil as he was eliminated from the island following his selection by Reuben Collins.
Come July 2025, marking a significant milestone a year since our separation, I, Uma, excitedly shared the thrilling news that my beloved partner Wil and I are now engaged. With my sparkling ring as a testament to our joyous union, I posted on Instagram, “We’ve been keeping a secret – a wonderful piece of our love story.
For the reality star, staying on Love Island after Wil’s exit didn’t seem like an option.
She made her choice without a moment’s hesitation, as she shared on the Not My Bagg podcast. What she wants is to be with Wil.
She shared with hosts Lisa and Joe that she had developed a relationship with someone else, confessing that it took her a considerable amount of time to feel as comfortable with this person as she did with Wil. With only two weeks left, she found herself in an awkward position. Rather than pretend to form a new bond, she decided to be truthful instead.
In much the same way Amaya stood strong in her professional life with both feet on the ground, she found an equally solid footing in her relationship with Bryan. During the finale, she shared, “In my journey here, I discovered different paths, some that made me feel unappreciated and required me to limit my love’s expression. However, each choice led me to find my personal knight in shining armor. I met you, a man who not only fills my emotional cup but thrives under the torrent of my emotions. You reminded me that I am capable of soaring, no matter where I land.”
The pair soared off as winners of Love Island USA season seven. Bryan, who defended Amaya during a heated discussion, added, “We are two individuals often misunderstood by others, but we understand each other. Your eccentricities always make me laugh. You have encouraged my personal growth and I am grateful for that. I eagerly look forward to continuing our journey together and nurturing the seed of our relationship as you said.
Initially, only Olandria and Nic were present on the first day and managed to reach the finale. Throughout the competition, they kept viewers guessing as they delved into other connections and frequently switched between being friends and reconnecting.
During the finale, Olandria expressed her belief that friendship forms the cornerstone of a strong relationship, free from expectations or pressure, enabling individuals to get to know each other better over time. She admitted to realizing a truth: The one who has stood by your side throughout the journey might just be the one you were destined to find.
The runners-up couldn’t help but ponder if they were meant for each other from the start. Nic added that their relationship’s beauty stemmed from overlooking initial signs. Initially entangled in other connections, he confessed to having always admired Olandria. As time passed, they both faced challenges unforeseen, leaving them lost and confused. They were eventually removed from the villa but received a second chance when given the opportunity to couple up and develop a bond that neither of them knew existed.
As for what lies ahead for #NicOlandria, it remains to be seen.
Nic added, “I’m unsure if our journey leads us to a partnership, romance, or deep friendship, but I’ve treasured your presence as I’ve traveled through life with you. It all seems perfectly fitting.
During the finale of Love Island, Iris shared her amazing journey, saying, “It’s been incredible because what started as me having you as my closest friend has blossomed into someone I’m eager to know better in the real world.”
Pepe, who finished in fourth place with Iris, also expressed his feelings, stating, “Our bond grew stronger each day, and every shared moment made it stronger. From the bottom of my heart, I can say that you are the only woman I could ever have seen myself leaving here with. You bring out a side of me I cherish, and I’m grateful for that. Thank you for everything, Iris. Here’s to many more days and memories to come.
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 your birthday this year, I find myself still enamored as ever, Kordell. It’s hard to believe it’s been nearly a year since my admiration for you bloomed so vividly! Witnessing your journey, seeing dreams become reality, is nothing short of extraordinary. I am beyond proud of the man you’re becoming, and I eagerly look forward to celebrating more birthdays with you. Thank you for being an exceptional boyfriend, partner, friend, and for filling my life with endless happiness.” – Serena, May 2025
A pair from Love Island USA’s sixth season, Leah and Miguel, who have managed to stay together past the villa, continue to thrive. As Miguel stated, “Each day just keeps improving,” a sentiment with which Leah concurs.
On Miguel’s birthday in March 2025, I penned on Instagram: ‘You radiate sunshine all the time, everywhere we go.’ I’ll always be thankful for the day you entered my life, showering it with love, tranquility, joy, security, and pure bliss. Even watching paint dry became an enjoyable pastime with you. I never thought a man like you could exist in reality, let alone in my dreams! Sometimes I joke that you’re extinct or only found in movies. But the truth is, your soul is so pure, with such noble intentions towards everything and everyone, that I couldn’t have imagined it better myself.
In the summer of 2025, following their third-place finish on Love Island USA’s sixth season in 2024, JaNa and Kenny called it quits after spending a year as a couple. This split was verified by a source who spoke to TopMob News.
The news came as a shock to fans, who adored their sweet tributes to one another online.
In his Instagram post for her birthday in December 2024, he expressed: “My beloved Pookie Bear, my cherished one, my heart’s delight, and my dear Nay Nay. It has been a privilege to be with you these past few months, witnessing your journey as you conquer the world.
He went on to say, “Your smile illuminates every space you enter, and even when the limelight is on you, you never disappoint in making others feel cherished, valued, and treasured. Your inner beauty matches your outer charm, which leaves me often speechless and amazed. I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have you as part of my life.
In February 2025, I added a message for Kenny on his birthday: “You’re not just my best friend; you’re my safe haven. It’s wonderful sharing life with you. Your love provides me the courage to be authentic around you, and for that, I am eternally grateful.
In previous seasons of “Love Island”, both Josh and Sophie had each given love a try – Josh reached third place with Lauren Richardson in 2015, while Sophie joined the villa five years later. However, fate seemed to conspire when they both returned for “Love Island: All Stars” in 2024, ultimately placing third together.
She posted on Instagram in February, saying, “We’re just getting started!” and expressing heartfelt gratitude for everyone who has been with them through their journey, noting that their support truly makes a difference in the world.
And she was correct that it was only the start of their forever journey.
In March 2025, Josh posted on Instagram: “It’s our one-year anniversary! I can’t believe you’ve stuck with me this long. Here’s to many more years together. You know what you’re getting into, and I love you forever.
2021 winners of “Love Island UK” took their romance beyond the villa and into reality in August 2021, following a challenging trial of loyalty known as Casa Amor during the seventh season.
In July 2022, they publicly split up via social media platforms; however, by June of the following year, they managed to rekindle their relationship. Nowadays, Millie and Liam share updates about their shared experiences such as travel, exercise routines, and dates on social media, along with maintaining a podcast under their joint name.
In the second season of Love Island USA, broadcasted during summer 2020, these two fell for each other. However, they revealed their separation in January that followed.
The first-season champions of Love Island USA, who formed a pairing from the very start and remained together, continued their relationship for several months until late 2019 when they decided to end it. Zac announced on his Instagram Stories that the split was mutual and that both parties had departed on friendly terms. Essentially, they desired different things in life.
In her statement, Elizabeth expressed, “Though I’d wanted things to unfold differently, life doesn’t always go as we might have wanted it to.
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 the moment, let me confirm that, indeed, five years on, I’ve found my new partner!
The second-place couple from the first season of Love Island USA were dating for a while but broke up in November 2019, announcing their split on Instagram Stories. Alex, the lacrosse coach, confirmed the breakup by saying, “Alex and I are no longer together. Sometimes things just don’t work out.
Alex shared that “going through heartache can be tough,” also mentioning, “For me, our relationship felt like a beautiful fairy tale, yet unfortunately, not all stories have happy endings.
Despite not emerging victorious, the beloved pair from Love Island USA endeavored to make their long-distance relationship work, traveling during holidays to be together. However, Caro revealed in a YouTube video uploaded in July 2020 that she had ended the relationship. She stated, “He wasn’t as committed to our relationship as I was,” which led her to call it quits.
In October of 2023, Caro surprised everyone with an exciting announcement: She had secretly married Rene Lacad the previous month. Then, in December, she shared 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: “Thank you, Amina, for entrusting me with the role of motherhood,” which she declared as the most cherished experience in her life.
The U.S. version of the show brought together an unexpected pair, as Kyra decided to quit to explore her chances with Cashel following his elimination. However, she discovered that he had already come back. Sadly, the music-loving duo parted ways in October 2019.
It appears that by the end of November, Kyra and Cashel managed to patch things up. Nevertheless, they decided to part ways permanently in February 2020.
He expressed that we gave it our best shot during the conversation, but he feels they are at different stages in their lives right now. To put it frankly, he believes she has blocked his phone number.
Kyra made appearances on various programs, such as “Match Me If You Can” in 2021, “The Challenge: USA” in 2022 (which Cashel also participated in), and “Love Island Games” in 2023. However, she found her match outside the camera lens with dental student and ex-basketball player Tal Sahar in 2024.
In May 2025, Cashel was imprisoned in Utah for accusations related to domestic violence and assault, as reported by online records. A fresh set of charges for assault and domestic violence were brought against him the subsequent month.
As reported by NBC News, Cashel has refuted the accusations. His legal representative, Andrew K. Deesing, communicated to the outlet, “My client and his family are going through an extremely challenging period, and we request that their privacy be upheld as we vigorously work to safeguard his name and reputation. At this point, we’re still in the initial stages and don’t have any additional comments.
In contrast to many others doubting them and much of America being skeptical, the first season’s couple from the US villa, Weston and Emily, actually dated in real life for some time before eventually parting ways.
She verified in a YouTube video from May 2020 that Weston and she are no longer a couple. At present, she is single. Essentially, they experienced quite an up-and-down relationship… It was particularly tough due to the distance, as I was in college during that time.
In the tenth season of Love Island UK, the winning couple exited the villa triumphantly. However, their relationship didn’t last long; they split up merely two months later, in October 2023.
According to Sammy, the breakup came as a “total shock.”
In his Instagram Story, he mentioned that we had a personal discussion, but it remains unresolved since Jess is still traveling and we haven’t met face-to-face. He made it clear that he wanted to explore the possibility of salvaging our relationship and believed this approach was the most respectful way to proceed.
Sammy commented, “Regardless of what happened today, I believe Jess is a remarkable woman and truly hope she thrives.
By mid-2025, Sammy graced the screens of “Love Island: All Stars”. It was during this time that he developed a romantic bond with Elma Pazar. However, starting from June 2025, there were whispers and speculations about potential splits between the two.
In the inaugural winter season of Love Island, the victorious pair quickly formed a romantic connection and managed to stay united even amidst the numerous challenges posed by the villa environment.
They moved in together in 2020, but called it quits three years later.
Paige expressed during an appearance on ‘Love Island: After Sun’ in June 2023 that she and Finley are still close friends. However, they seem to have grown apart over time. Yet, by August 2024, Finley announced a new relationship on Instagram. Initially, the identity of his girlfriend was not disclosed, but The Sun confirmed in June 2025 that he is dating Jess Hale.
In the villa of Love Island during Winter 2020, contestants Siannise and Luke formed a romantic connection that lasted nearly a year after the show ended. However, they eventually parted ways in November 2021.
Nevertheless, he quickly moved on and became engaged to Chelsea Menna just under a year after that, in the year 2022.
During his time at Casa Amor, the scaffolder was widely disliked in the U.K. after he chose to leave Shaughna Phillips, a fan favorite, for Molly, ultimately leading the public to vote them out of the villa.
In my professional opinion, after spending three beautiful years together away from the island, life took us on different paths in the year 2023.
The subsequent year, they both appeared on “Love Island: All Stars”. Molly paired up with Tom Clare and won the season. At the same time, Callum developed a relationship with Jess Gale and they were the runners-up. However, Callum and Jess parted ways in 2024 (with Callum now dating Yasmin Deplidge), whereas Molly and Tom remain together.
Initially, Nas was well-liked at the start of season six. However, his relationship decisions later on caused a shift in public opinion. Specifically, when he ended his relationship with Demi Jones after Casa Amor and started seeing Eva instead, this change in romantic interest appeared to lose him some fan support.
Despite being eliminated from the show, Nas and Eva continued their relationship, and they formally declared it public in July 2020.
Despite speculation about their relationship status in August 2023, caused by photos of Eva wearing a ring on her left hand, Nas clarified in March 2024 that they had ended their relationship.
Sadly, Eva and I have chosen to part ways,” Nas posted on his Instagram Story. “There’s no animosity or blame involved – it was a mutual agreement reached in good spirits.
He said, ‘Over the last few months, we made an effort to resolve our issues, but eventually concluded that it was best for us. 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.
In an unusual turn of events during the winter season, one unanticipated pairing finished in third position, but they parted ways a few months later, shortly after exiting the villa.
In June 2020, Demi explained to MailOnline that the relationship is over for good. She believes the split was more his decision than hers, but they remain on friendly terms. The lockdown and their geographical distance drove them apart, as there seemed to be little effort in maintaining communication, which led to a gradual drifting of the relationship.
Ever since, I’ve found myself in a relationship with the stunning Lucie Donlan from season five, and we officially confirmed our love story in July 2020. We took the next step and got engaged the year after that.
Regarding Demi, she made an appearance on the show “Love Island: All Stars” in the year 2024, and it was there she encountered Luis Morrison. Unfortunately, their relationship didn’t last beyond that year.
In a somewhat subdued manner, the couple from season six finished in fourth position. They continued their relationship for several months until they parted ways in June 2020.
Just wanted to clarify, Ched and I have parted ways, but we remain great friends. I want nothing but the best for him. Thank you for your continued support during our journey in the villa.” – Jess shared with her Instagram followers.
Ah, I can’t help but feel a pang of disappointment. It’s so frustrating when the victorious couple from the show is the one that parts ways early on. You know, even though Greg joined the villa mere weeks before the finale, he and his partner were the darlings of the audience, taking home the title for season five. Yet, they called it quits only a few weeks after the final episode.
In response to some debate and back-and-forth discussions between them regarding the circumstances of their breakup (with reports suggesting Greg, a rugby player living in Ireland, ended it through text messages), Amber expressed on “Loose Women” that “The demands of our careers and geographical distance had always been an issue. We were aware of this challenge, so I’m unsure what shifted. Truthfully, I wanted to keep things going, but it seems destined as it stands.
Regarding Greg, he asserted on RTE’s The Late Late Show that “She resides in the UK, wherever she goes, brands are eager to collaborate with her, events yearn for her presence, naturally she deserves all the success. 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 to their relationship, the Instagram influencer and the boxer soon emerged as the strongest pair during season five. Consequently, their unexpected placement as runners-up took everyone by surprise.
In July 2024, they became engaged; this was precisely six months following the arrival of their child named Bambi. However, in August 2024, Molly-Mae unexpectedly announced their separation.
She sadly shared on Instagram Stories that her relationship with Tommy has concluded. However, she expressed eternal gratitude for the most cherished aspect of her life – her stunning daughter. The daughter’s existence between them will forever remain a priority.
In an episode of her Amazon Prime series titled “Molly-Mae: Behind It All,” which aired in May 2025, she disclosed that she and Tommy were planning to rekindle their romance.
Without a doubt, among the most contentious couples from season five was the fourth-place finishing pair, who had experienced their share of turmoil. Yet, they silenced their critics by advancing their relationship outside the villas in the year 2019.
On the UK’s This Morning, Maura emphasized the importance of trust, being cautious about media reports, and most significantly, maintaining humility as keys to making their relationship successful. In simpler terms, she suggested that they should trust each other, not blindly accept everything in the news, and above all, stay humble to keep things balanced.
However, the pair broke up in March 2020.
In my own words as a devoted fan, I penned down this message on Instagram: “Curtis and I have chosen to part ways.” This note was shared in my Instagram Stories. We had an unforgettable journey together from our time in the villa, and we’re grateful for everyone who stood by us during our relationship.
However, Curtis’ Love Island adventure didn’t come to a halt there. After a brief stint on Love Island: Games in 2023, he returned to our screens on Love Island: All Stars two years later. In this special edition of the show, he and Ekin-Su finished third. Yet, unfortunately, they decided to go their separate ways just a few months later.
Ekin-Su revealed on her Instagram post in May 2025, as reported by People, that Curtis and she have chosen to part ways. She explained that this was a difficult decision but one that was made with affection and regard for each other. He’s an exceptional individual, and the moments we shared, both within and beyond the villa, will always hold a special place in my heart.
About a year following their victory on Love Island season eight in 2022, Davide revealed that he and Ekin-Su had ended their relationship.
In a post on Instagram in June 2023, he expressed that his relationship with Ekin is now over. He acknowledged the cherished memories and experiences they had together, expressing only positive wishes for her future success. During this challenging period, he kindly asks everyone to respect his decision. He remains committed to supporting Ekin in any way possible.
Not long after, the pair rekindled their romance. However, they ended up calling it quits again.
In January 2024, Ekin-Su shared on Instagram, “The past 18 months have been a mix of highs and lows, much like many relationships,” according to screenshots from Cosmopolitan UK. “Davide and I had a strong desire to make our relationship succeed because we deeply cared for each other. Regrettably, I’ve decided to call it quits and move on separately. Breakups are never simple. They’re challenging for any couple. We kindly ask for our privacy to be protected during this time. I cherish the moments we shared together.
In the summer of 2024, Davide resumed his journey into love with Iris Au, while Ekin-Su, following their third place finish in Love Island: All Stars in early 2025, briefly dated Curtis Pryor. Regrettably, they parted ways several months later.
Although they entered the villa later than most couples, with popular contestant Ovie appearing during the controversial Casa Amor episodes and India joining afterwards, this couple managed to reach the final round in season 5 of 2019, ultimately taking third place.
However, the professional basketball player and the model quietly parted ways later that year.
She conveyed to MailOnline, “Indeed, it’s challenging, and every separation is tough. However, it becomes more so when it happens under public scrutiny. But I’ll manage, I have a tight-knit circle of friends who are taking great care of me.
In early 2025, India appeared on Love Island: All Stars but left the show single.
On the first day of season five, Lucie and Joe started partnering up together. However, following his elimination from the villa, Lucie swiftly changed her romantic interests by dating several other men, even confessing to having deep feelings for a man who was already in a relationship (Tommy). Therefore, it came as quite a shock to fans when they announced that they were dating after their season had ended.
Similarly to how their first love story ended, the surfer and the sandwich maker found that their second try also failed, leading them to part ways in early December 2019.
Meanwhile, although Lucie is currently betrothed to Luke from season six, it appears that Joe, who tried his luck during All Stars in 2024, is relishing his current unattached status.
After finishing their stint in the villa, Anton and Belle were the second pair from season 5 to split up quickly. Despite this, they continued to maintain friendship, but Anton made it clear that there would be no future romantic involvement between them.
In response to Mail Online, the creator of the fitness app clarified, “Absolutely not. We have a very friendly dynamic now, but it’s more like being friends with your sibling rather than romantic partners. The nature of our relationship has evolved beyond that point.
2024 found me, a die-hard admirer, watching anxiously as Anton graced the screen on “Love Island: All Stars”. Alongside Georgia Harrison, we cheered him on until our journey ended in fifth place. But, much to my dismay, our bond didn’t last beyond the show’s conclusion.
