JaNa Craig and Kenny Rodriguez, who rose to fame on the sixth season of Love Island USA, have officially ended their relationship after a year of dating. The couple confirmed their breakup on July 27, as reported by a source to E! News.
Their split stirred speculation among fans when JaNa and her friends unfollowed Kenny on Instagram, leading to the discussion of their relationship status. JaNa, 28, and Kenny, 25, initially captured the hearts of many and secured a third-place finish in the show’s finale. Following their time in the Fiji villa, they managed to maintain a long-distance relationship, with JaNa residing in Las Vegas and Kenny in Dallas.
However, their move to Los Angeles for the filming of Beyond the Villa marked a turning point. Kenny expressed his reluctance to move in together, preferring to live separately—an idea that JaNa did not agree with. In an interview with Variety, he explained, “Since leaving the villa, it’s a big jump moving in together with someone. I didn’t want it to be televised, especially the first time. So we rented rooms next to each other.”
Their journey reflects the challenges many couples face, especially when transitioning from a reality show environment to real life. While their relationship may have come to an end, both JaNa and Kenny have bright futures ahead of them. This experience could lead to personal growth and new opportunities as they navigate the next chapters of their lives.
