‘Love Island’ Season 6 Stars JaNa and Kenny Spark Split Rumors After Social Media Account Changes
Love may not be in the air anymore for one of Love Island USA’s most beloved couples. Season 6 stars JaNa Craig and Kenny Rodriguez are at the center of swirling breakup rumors just over a year after they stole viewers' hearts — and placed third — on the hit reality dating show.
On Sunday, July 27, eagle-eyed fans noticed a few curious social media clues that hinted trouble in paradise. JaNa unfollowed Kenny on Instagram, and she wasn’t the only one. Her best friends — and fellow Islanders — Serena Page and Leah Kateb also clicked the unfollow button. At the same time, Kenny quietly removed JaNa’s name from his Instagram bio, further fueling speculation that the fan-favorite couple might have gone their separate ways.
What makes the rumors even more shocking is that just a day prior, the pair looked happy and united. Kenny posted a charming Instagram Story on Saturday, July 26, featuring JaNa looking stunning in a pink dress while he sported a sharp tux. In the sweet clip, she blew a kiss to the camera — and fans melted, thinking all was well.
But what a difference 24 hours can make in the world of reality romance.
From Villa Chemistry to Real-World Challenges
JaNa and Kenny first captured America’s hearts on Love Island USA Season 6 in 2024. Their journey was filled with highs and lows — including a Casa Amor twist that temporarily tore them apart when Kenny returned with a bombshell. Despite the setback, the two reconciled and made it all the way to the finale, ultimately finishing in third place.
Their bond seemed authentic, with chemistry that felt deeper than the typical villa fling. However, after the cameras stopped rolling, real-life logistics began to complicate their love story.
Long Distance and Lingering Doubts
One of the couple’s biggest challenges has been long-distance dating. With JaNa based in Los Angeles and Kenny in Dallas, keeping the spark alive has required effort — and sacrifice.
In a candid July 2024 appearance on The Viall Files podcast, JaNa opened up about the emotional toll of being apart:
“I don’t want to move [to Dallas] right away. I think we could do our own thing, change our work schedules so we can spend time [and do], like, a year of visiting each other — or less maybe — but me moving to Dallas right now would be crazy,” she explained.
She also added, “He leaves [Los Angeles] today and I’m so sad… we spent every day together for the past month and a half. It’s, like, we’re naturally best friends and partners. For him to leave, it’s super sad.”
Those words now ring bittersweet as fans wonder if the distance finally caught up with them.
‘Beyond the Villa’ and Separate Rooms
Earlier this month, JaNa and Kenny appeared together on Peacock’s Beyond the Villa spinoff — and while they remained a couple on-screen, behind the scenes told a different story. Despite filming in the same city, the two reportedly rented separate rooms.
Kenny addressed the choice in an interview with Variety:
“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. So we rented rooms next to each other. Another aspect for me is privacy.”
He even mentioned how their differing lifestyles could clash:
“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.”
While both expressed joy at being in the same city during filming, the details painted a picture of two people figuring things out — not yet ready for the next big step.
Fans React: “Not JaNa and Kenny Too!”
Social media quickly lit up with reactions to the couple’s apparent split. Twitter (now X) users flooded timelines with shocked GIFs, heartbroken emojis, and speculation about what went wrong.
“I REFUSE to believe JaNa and Kenny broke up. Love is a lie 😭,” one fan posted.
“Not JaNa unfollowing him AND her girls too?? That’s a wrap,” another wrote.
“I KNEW something was off when they rented separate rooms,” a viewer commented under Kenny’s last post.
Still, some fans held out hope, suggesting that the move could just be a temporary fight or a mutual decision to take a break. Neither JaNa nor Kenny has issued an official statement yet.
What’s Next for JaNa and Kenny?
While the breakup isn’t confirmed, the signs are hard to ignore. In the world of Love Island, relationships are often tested in the real world — and not every couple survives the transition from villa dreams to everyday routines.
JaNa and Kenny were never ones to shy away from tough conversations, and if their past interviews are anything to go by, fans might still get clarity soon.
Whether this marks the end or just another bump in their romantic journey, one thing is certain: their Love Island chapter was unforgettable.
And in the hearts of fans, #JaNny will always be a highlight of Season 6.
