JaNa Craig and Kenny Rodriguez, once fan favourites from Love Island USA Season 6, have officially split after a year of dating. Their breakup follows a viral video resurfacing old allegations against Kenny and a wave of unfollows from close friends and celebrities.
Of all theLove Island couples to call it quits, no oneexpected JaNa Craig and Kenny Rodriguez to be the ones. They were the cool, low-drama duo who cruised through season 6 and actually made it out of the villa still together. But now? It’s officially over. Fans first noticed something was off when JaNa wiped Kenny from her Instagram. Then came the unfollow. Then cameeveryone elseunfollowing him too.
JaNa reportedly called off her relationship with Kenny onJuly 27, 2025, a full year after they began dating post–Love Island USASeason 6. According to TMZ, Craig made the decision, while other reports cite sources close to JaNa confirming the split is final—“they will not be getting back together.” The breakup occurred right after the couple attended David Dobrik’s casino-themed birthday party onJuly 26, where they appeared affectionate in photos, though speculation later arose about tension during the event.
Instagram activity fuelled the news after JaNa unfollowed Kenny, deleted photos, and removed his name from her bio. Kenny still follows JaNa and had posted about her as recently as the night before news broke. The couple finished in third place on the show, and neither party has officially commented on the split.
Right when people were piecing together the breakup, a video started making the rounds online, and it’s not a good look for Kenny. In it, a woman shares a story from before his Love Island days, claiming he used to come into the Latin-themed sports bar she worked at (where the staff wore lingerie). According to her, Kenny regularly hit on the bartenders, but one night, he straight-up asked her if she’d hook up with him for a hundred bucks.
“First of all, I don’t know who you think I am,” she told him. “Second of all, you’re very attractive—you could probably get this for free.” Apparently, Kenny didn’t like that and left. She ended the story by calling him “grimy,” and that clip has since gone viral, with people wondering if JaNa knew about it—or if this was the final straw.
The video originally surfaced in early July but has gone viral again, as fans now speculate Kenny may have cheated on JaNa—prompting those close to her to distance themselves from him.
As soon as JaNa hit unfollow, the dominoes started falling. Serena Page, Leah Kateb, Ava, and other Islanders quickly unfollowed Kenny too. Even JaNa’s brother removed him. But the biggest shock? Ariana Madix—yes, Vanderpump Rules star and Love Island: Beyond the Villa guest—also unfollowed him. Fans are convinced that Ariana, who was close to JaNa during filming, saw the writing on the wall and is firmly on Team JaNa. So far, none of them have spoken out, but the social media trail says enough.
JaNa and Kenny first linked up in week two of season 6, and their chemistry was obvious from the jump. Kenny had bombshell energy but zero interest in playing games once he met JaNa. They made it to the finale, finished in third place, and started dating seriously in the real world, despite being long-distance. Fans loved how low-key and grown their vibe was.
But when they started filming Love Island: Beyond the Villa this summer, things shifted. According to Glamour, they weren’t living together during filming, and there were reports of growing tension behind the scenes. JaNa was booked and busy, constantly surrounded by her glam team and managing brand shoots. Kenny reportedly wasn’t feeling it. Whether it was the pressure, the distance, or something more, it's a tragic end to what felt like forever once.
