What's going on with JaNa and Kenny from 'Love Island?' Fans parse following lists for clues
The "Love Island USA" fandom is in a desperate search for answers about one of their favorite couples. Social media users are speculating about a possible rift in the beloved Season 6 cast after JaNa Craig appeared to remove almost all of her content with boyfriend Kenny Rodriguez from her Instagram grid on July 27. Not only that, but Instagram accounts for her fellow PPG (the self-appointed Power Puff Gang) members Leah Kateb and Serena Page, and their respective partners, Miguel Harichi and Kordell Beckham, have all appeared to unfollow Rodriguez. Most of the cast of their Peacock spinoff show "Love Island: Beyond the Villa," currently in its first season, are also not following Rodriguez. None of the cast members have publicly commented on the apparent rift. The comments sections for Craig's past posts have also been limited. USA TODAY has reached out to representatives for Craig and Rodriguez for comment. Peacock did not respond to a request for comment. Finalists from "Love Island USA's" breakout season last year, Craig, 28, and Rodriguez, 25, have been in a relationship since leaving the villa in July 2024. They confirmed their relationship status in the Season 6 reunion, which dropped the following month. 'They're very toxic': Why Kaylor Martin won't watch 'Beyond the Villa' On Peacock's "Love Island" spinoff, Rodriguez and Craig are navigating their relationship while living in close quarters for the first time in Los Angeles. Fan accounts and close watchers of reality TV-related drama rang the alarm on a possible uncoupling on July 27, which prompted a close watch of other "Beyond the Villa" cast members' social media accounts. "Red alert ring the alarm," journalist Christina Cocca wrote alongside a post with screenshots of Craig's Instagram. Kenny and JaNa previously said communication was their strength While speaking with USA TODAY in separate interviews on July 8, Rodriguez and Craig opened up about navigating a relationship that is also intertwined with their careers as influencers. "We're very communicative when it comes to those things: what we feel comfortable putting out there (and) what we don't. And I think that's just the sign of a healthy relationship," Rodriguez said. Craig, seated with Page on one side and Kateb on the other, admitted that it has worked best to keep some things for themselves when fans demand more couples' content. "I feel like your relationship is very private. You know, just you and your partner communicating 24/7," Craig said. "Whereas publicly it's like putting yourself out there, understanding what your viewers and your supporters want and navigating through that and whatever you're comfortable with."

Meta highlights business messaging
Business messaging is a key driver for customer engagement and to build revenue growth in an increasingly complex economic landscape, according to Meta. In Thailand, 95% of businesses said business messaging improved the customer experience and reported a 55% increase in converting leads to sales, according to a 2025 study conducted by market researcher Kantar. Consumers in Thailand showed a strong preference for messaging, with 74% of respondents saying they want to be able to communicate with brands and businesses in the same way they communicate with friends and family. The study found conversations are a strong promoter of growth for businesses and transform the way they build relationships with customers and achieve their strategic goals. Prae Dumrongmongcolgul, country director of Facebook Thailand, said Thai businesses are increasingly seeking more efficient ways to connect with customers and drive sustainable growth. Messaging remains people's favourite method to interact with brands and businesses, she said at the annual Meta Business Messaging Summit in Thailand. There are 1 billion people connecting with business accounts across Meta's messaging services weekly, and 600 million conversations between people and businesses daily on Meta's apps. In Kantar's survey, 81% of Thai adults message a business at least once a week, with 80% preferring this method of communication with a business, and 81% preferring it for a small business or local entrepreneur. Moreover, 73% of respondents in Thailand said they discovered small and local businesses through messaging, highlighting its ability to promote entrepreneurs in the digital landscape. Some 70% of adults prefer to message with a business instead of calling, while 87% want to hear from a business via messaging, either daily or weekly, up 3 percentage points from 2024. According to Meta, 95% of adults expressed satisfaction when messaging a business via its Messenger and Instagram direct messaging. This high level of satisfaction underscores the importance of messaging as a preferred communication channel, said the firm. Roughly 50% of shoppers worldwide messaged a business during the holiday season, while 42% of shoppers said messaging makes them feel more personally connected with the brand. Ms Prae said Meta introduced a new suite of messaging solutions using artificial intelligence (AI) designed to help Thai businesses connect with customers and build growth through meaningful connections. Thai businesses are increasingly utilising Meta's AI-powered ad technologies to enhance their business growth, she said. The Meta summit also promoted "Opportunity Score", which provides quick recommendations to improve campaign performance based on advanced machine learning algorithms and testing conducted on thousands of advertisers.
