JaNa Craig & Kenny Rodriguez’s ‘Love Island USA’ Costars React to Their Dramatic Split
Shortly after JaNa Craig broke her silence on her split with Kenny Rodriguez, several of her fellow Love Island USA Season 6 costars followed suit.
Though neither JaNa or Kenny have revealed the real reason behind their breakup, fans have been trying to piece it together through the cast’s Instagram Stories. JaNa was first to speak out on July 29, three days after the rumors of their parting swept social media.
The Love Island: Beyond the Villa star revealed that the cause was “terrible, disgusting and disappointing.” “Discovering that someone you loved isn’t who you thought they were and that the relationship you thought you were building hasn’t been genuine since day one has been truly devastating,” she wrote about a week ahead of her and Kenny’s one-year anniversary of dating.
Kenny didn’t take long to post his own statement. “Sometimes, despite how deeply you care for someone, you come to the hard truth that the relationship was not something that could last long-term,” he said. “I’ll always be grateful for the time we shared and the memories we created. I release this chapter with no ill will, only a hope that JaNa’s path forward brings her nothing but happiness.”
JaNa fired back at her ex afterward, calling him a “manipulative liar.” “You not taking accountability and telling people the type of person you really are is insane to me!! My first statement was me being nice,” she wrote. “Do not piss me off.”
Then came the input from their fellow Love Island USA contestants. Keep scrolling to see exactly what Leah Kateb, Serena Page, and more have said about the situation.
Leah Kateb
Leah was one of the first to jump to defense of JaNa, screenshotting her costar’s Story and adding a caption of her own. “Put a sock in it ChatGPT heada**,” she began. “Tell the truth for once! Racist, clout/money hungry and a scammer since DAY 1!!!! Tryna make it seem like it’s something it’s not. Dw, our Nay is blessed & highly favored.”
Her boyfriend Miguel Harichi has yet to post a statement himself, though he has unfollowed Kenny like most of his costars. Leah also commented underneath Kenny’s most recent Instagram video, in which Miguel appears. “How about you delete my man off your page instead of deleting my comments,” she said.
Serena Page
Season 6 winner Serena has also chimed in, reminding fans to be respectful. “It may just be tea for yall but thats not the case for us,” she continued. “Y’all already know how im coming behind JaNa, and TRUST so does he.”
Kordell Beckham, her boyfriend and fellow Season 6 winner, hasn’t spoken out about the situation yet.
Liv Walker
Liv called out Kenny in her Instagram Story. “Your pathetic excuse for a story is laughable,” she said. “I can’t even put into words how good of a person naynay is and how hard it is to watch her go through something like this. @kennyrodriguez I hope this gives you the clout you always wanted you f**king loser.”
Kaylor Martin
Kaylor also took a more direct approach. “@Kennyrodriguez is a poor excuse of a man,” she wrote. “You lost the most beautiful genuine soul. Shame on you.”
Kendall Washington
Though Kendall didn’t address Kenny or the breakup outright, he did take a moment to express his support for JaNa, posting a video of them dancing together. “Love you forever Nay Nay,” he captioned the Instagram Story.
