Have JaNa Craig and Kenny Rodriguez from Love Island USA season six become the latest Love Island break-up story? It’s no secret that the Love Island couples who go the distance after leaving the villa are few and far between, but fans were really hoping to see JaNa and Kenny make their long-distance relationship work. Unfortunately, their recent social media history hints at a possible split.
Per Us Weekly, fans noticed on July 27 that JaNa had unfollowed Kenny on Instagram, as had her villa besties Leah Kateb and Serena Page. Plus, Kenny seems to have removed JaNa’s name from his bio—though he is still following her as of this posting.
PEACOCK
In the Love Island USA season six finale, JaNa and Kenny came in third place, behind Leah and Miguel in second and Serena and Kordell in first. Currently, they are starring in the new spin-off series, Love Island: Beyond the Villa, which follows the fan-favorite cast as they navigate their relationships in the real world all together in Los Angeles. The spin-off show sees JaNa and Kenny, post Love Island USA, living in the same city for the first time after eight months of dating long-distance. They aren’t ready to move in together yet, but are living in apartments next door to one another as a sort of test run.
In an interview with Variety, published on July 13, Kenny explained why he was adamant that he and JaNa live in separate apartments while they filmed Beyond the Villa. “Since leaving the villa, it’s a big jump moving in together with someone, and I didn’t want it to be televised, especially the first time,” he said. “So we rented rooms next to each other. Another aspect for me is privacy. When JaNa gets ready for events, she has a huge glam team. Usually, there’s somebody in there for wardrobe, and sometimes I don’t have the space to change and things like that. Granted, we were always together on the show. It was great to experience L.A. and to be with her in the same city.”
Now, while the recent social media activity definitely looks like a breakup, neither JaNa nor Kenny has publicly confirmed the split.
