Two people who seemed to have found their special someone on season six of Love Island have now gone their separate ways.
Third place finalists JaNa Craig, 28, and Kenny Rodriguez, 25, were fan favorites and continued their relationship even after they finished their work on the reality show — until Sunday.
The two were seen at YouTuber David Dobrik‘s birthday party on Saturday and all seemed well.
‘There was no big, public blowout,’ a source told People, after rumors spread that the couple had gotten into an argument at the party. ‘That did not happen.’
The insider said the breakup came on Sunday morning, stating, ‘They will not be getting back together.’
On Monday, Craig, an influencer, appeared to have unfollowed Rodriguez on Instagram.

Fellow Love Island contestants Serena Page and Leah Kateb, along with their boyfriends Kordell Beckham and Miguel Harichi, quickly followed suit.
Other alums, including Kaylor Martin and Liv Walker, also unfollowed Rodriguez, as did Connor Newsum, with whom Craig had a tense relationship on the show.
The breakup comes just two weeks after Peacock began airing the spinoff series Love Island: Beyond The Villa.
The show follows the season six contestants ‘as they navigate new careers, evolving friendships, newfound fame, and complex relationships,’ according to a press release for the show.
Both Craig and Rodriguez have removed any photos of the other from their social media, although Rodriguez has yet to scrub a video clip teasing an episode of Beyond The Villa from his Instagram.
Instead of bringing them together, the distance between the two may have contributed to the rift. Craig divides her time between Hawaii and Las Vegas, while Rodriguez, a digital creator, travels between Los Angeles and Dallas.
‘That distance also helps the heart grow fonder,’ Craig told People in October 2024. ‘But it also doesn’t put a lot of pressure on us to need to be with each other all the time.
I kind of like it that we don’t live in the same city right now,’ he said, adding, ‘Now that we’re outside, we can take our time. It’s not as fast.’

On Beyond The Villa, the couple revealed they were living close to each other in Los Angeles, but not together.
‘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,’ Rodriguez told Variety. ‘So we rented rooms next to each other.’
Craig has turned off comments on her Instagram, but Rodriguez hasn’t, which led more than one fan of the show to ask, ‘What did you do Kenny??’
‘Did you cheat on my gurl???’ asked another.
‘Ngl even on Love Island I never really felt like Kenny GENUINELY liked Jana… it gave you had no one else to be with and u needed clout,’ commented one online analyst.
