Love Island US Season 6 winners JaNa Craig and Kenny Rodriguez have officially called it quits — but what began as a seemingly peaceful split has escalated into a heated online clash involving serious accusations, including racism.
JaNa and Kenny split turns ugly: Here’s what went down
According to TMZ, the breakup occurred early Sunday morning when JaNa reportedly ended the relationship.
Fans quickly noticed both had unfollowed each other on social media and scrubbed their Instagram bios. Soon after, JaNa’s close friends and fellow castmates Serena Page and Leah Kateb also unfollowed Kenny, fuelling speculation of deeper issues.
By Sunday afternoon, JaNa Craig shared her side of the story through an Instagram post, expressing deep disappointment without going into details. She wrote:
“Please know that I have seen all the breakup theories and none have matched up to how terrible, disgusting and disappointing it truly is.”
While her message appeared restrained, it hinted at serious personal betrayal and painted a picture of a relationship that had lacked honesty from the start.
In an effort to manage the growing public attention, Kenny Rodriguez issued his own statement later that day. He said breakups are tough and claimed he was processing the emotions privately. He added:
“I’ll always be grateful for the time we shared and the memories we created.”
However, JaNa reacted strongly to Kenny’s attempt at diplomacy. She fired back, writing on Instagram:
“@kennyrodriguez stfu you manipulative liar… My first statement was me being nice. Do not piss me off.”
Just as tensions peaked, JaNa’s friend and fellow cast member Leah Kateb took to Instagram and publicly accused Kenny of serious misconduct. She wrote:
“@kennyrodriguez Put a sock in it ChatGPT headass. Tell the truth for once! Racist, clout/money hungry and a scammer since DAY 1!!!!”
Her post directly accused Kenny of racism, exploiting JaNa for fame and money, and being deceptive throughout the relationship.
JaNa has received an outpouring of support from fans and her inner circle of friends. Multiple former cast members, including Serena Page, have unfollowed Kenny, signalling a clear rift within the Season 6 Love Island community.
