Are Jana Craig and Kenny Rodriguez of “Love Island USA” still dating?
Spoilers ahead for all episodes of “Love Island USA” Season 6. Despite a rocky start, “Love Island USA” Season 6 had viewers rooting for a fairy-tale relationship. Fan-favorite couple Jana Craig and Kenneth Rodriguez took a while to find each other. But once they met, they hit it off immediately, and their relationship survived the trials and tribulations of Casa Amor to become one of the most adorable pairs of the season. The finalist couple has been likened to a Disney fairy tale romance (specifically Princess Tiana and Prince Hakeem from The Princess and the Frog), so fans are eagerly awaiting news after the season finale on July 21 about JaNa and Kenny's relationship, and the August Love Read on to find out everything we know about their upcoming reunion for Island USA Season 6.
JaNa Craig, a 27-year-old day trader from Hawaii, was one of the Islanders on Day 1 of the Season 6 cast. She had a tumultuous dating life at the villa, coupling briefly with Coy Simmons, Connor Newsom, and Hakeem White In the first public vote on Day 11, JaNa and Hakeem were among the least voted couples and faced elimination from the villa Hakeem was dumped Hakeem was discarded, while JaNa was saved by the other women and remained in the villa as the lone Islander.
Kenny Rodriguez, a 24-year-old Bronx native, entered the villa on day 13 with a bombshell and quickly hit it off with JaNa. They recoupled together on day 15, and the next day they won enough public votes to remain in the Villa. Their initial time together was cut short as the men chose to go to Casa Amor. After several days apart, JaNa faithfully chose to re-couple with Kenny, but Kenny had hit it off with Casa Girl Catherine Marshall; JaNa remained at the villa as a single Islander, but she and Kenny hit it off and re-coupled on the 24th day. They also quickly became the second couple of the season to spend the night at the hideaway, where they dominated their relationship.
The now-fan-favorite couple ran through the final days to the finale as the final couple, along with Nicole Jackie and Kendall Washington, Leah Kateb and Miguel Haraichi, and Selina Paige and Cordell Beckham. Although they were not the winners of Season 6 (as the prize money went to Paige and Beckham), Jana and Kenny showed a strong bond in the finale, including a sweet moment when Jana gave a speech in Spanish for Kenny. They ended the season as the third-place couple on Love Island USA.
Although they missed out on the $100,000 prize, JaNa and Kenny are definitely in the running for cutest couple post-season 6; the two have been joined at the hip since their return to the US from Fiji and have had several joint interviews sharing their plans for the future. During an appearance on the “Chicks in the Office” podcast, Kenny said JaNa plans to visit him from Las Vegas to Dallas, where they will tour the “rodeo.”
He said, “She's never been, so bull riding, horseback riding. All of it. Buy her some cowboy boots.”
In an interview with Collider, Kenny dismissed any doubt that he and JaNa would not be exclusive in the real world. He told the outlet, “There's no way I'm playing with anybody.”
“For me, I'm the type of guy that once I have an emotional relationship with a girl, it goes beyond sex,” Kenny revealed. 'It's hard to be everywhere. I like to focus on one woman at a time.”
More recently, JaNa posted several Instagram Stories from her July 25 trip to Universal Studios in LA with Kenny, Selena, Cordell, Leah, and Kendall. (PPG reunion!) In one of the Stories, JaNa and Kenny explained that they were working to get Kenny's Instagram account back up and running, as it was suspended at the time.
