LOVE ISLAND USA — Episode 636 — Pictured: (l-r) Kenny Rodriguez, JaNa Craig — (Photo by: Ben ... More Symons/Peacock via Getty Images) Love Island USA Season 6 and Beyond the Villa stars JaNa Craig and Kenny Rodriguez have reportedly broken up after finding love on Peacock's popular dating show last year. Breakup rumors began swirling on July 27, after fans noticed that JaNa had unfollowed Kenny on social media and that both had removed each other from their Instagram bios. TMZ confirmed that the couple called it quits on Sunday morning. JaNa's close friends and fellow Season 6 stars Serena Page and Leah Kateb — also known by their friend group nickname, PPG (aka the Powerpuff Girls) — also unfollowed Kenny, along with their significant others, Kordell Beckham and Miguel Harichi, as well as other Season 6 cast members like Kaylor Martin, Olivia Walker and more. The night before their alleged split, Kenny shared videos on his Instagram Stories from David Dobrik's birthday party, which he and JaNa attended together on Saturday, July 26. In one video, Kenny is seen in a tuxedo, while JaNa wears a pink dress and blows a kiss to the camera. While it's still unconfirmed what exactly happened at or after the party, TMZ reported that it was Craig who ultimately made the decision to split, though the reason for their breakup was not revealed. However, the site did say that 'JaNa's been leaning on her close girlfriends all day to help her get through her heartbreak.' JaNa and Kenny met during Love Island USA Season 6 and quickly formed a connection when he entered the villa on Day 13. Although they briefly split after Casa Amor when he recoupled with a bombshell, they got back together and finished in third place. Following the success of Season 6, Peacock launched a spinoff series following the Islanders as they navigate life in Los Angeles. In Love Island: Beyond the Villa, the couple were still doing long distance, and Kenny rented an apartment in the same apartment complex as JaNa during the duration of filming. LOVE ISLAND: BEYOND THE VILLA — "You're So Last Summer" Episode 101 — Pictured: (l-r) Kenny ... More Rodriguez, JaNa Craig — (Photo by: Casey Durkin/PEACOCK via Getty Images) Kenny opened up about his decision not to live with JaNa during Beyond the Villa in a mid-July interview with Variety. '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,' Kenny explained. 'So we rented rooms next to each other. Another aspect for me is privacy. When JaNa gets ready for events, she has a huge glam team." He continued, Usually, there's somebody in there for wardrobe, and sometimes I don't have the space to change and things like that. Granted, we were always together on the show. It was great to experience L.A. and to be with her in the same city.' Stay tuned for more updates, and to see if JaNa or Kenny publicly address the breakup reports.

JaNa and Kenny breakup: Why Love Island stars split; details here
It's off the island and the end of a love story for JaNa Craig and Kenny Rodriguez – Love Island Season 6 stars – as they have broken up, TMZ reported. JaNa Craig and Kenny Rodriguez reportedly broke up on Sunday(X/@PopSpectator) The two broke up on Sunday morning and JaNa has been reportedly leaning on her close girlfriends all day to get over the heartbreak from the split with Kenny. Why JaNa and Kenny broke up? JaNa and Kenny broke up on Sunday and while no official reason for the split has been provided yet, TMZ reported that it was Kenny who decided to call it quits. Were there hints of relationship troubles? There has been online speculation about JaNa and Kenny's relationship over the past couple of days. Fans began to suspect trouble when they noticed that the pair had taken each other out of their Instagram bios and were no longer following each other on the Meta-owned social media platform either. Serena Page and Leah Kateb, JaNa's close friends, who collectively came to be known as 'PPG' (Powerpuff Girls) on Love Island, also unfollowed Kenny. Their significant others have followed suit as well. Also Read | Are Bryan Arenales and Amaya Espinal still going strong? Love Island USA winner reacts to cheating buzz The publication further reported that it appears as though they had all their friends unfollow the other person, that is, Kenny. However, given they were posting about one another on social media last night, it would appear that some major blowup occurred. While JaNa and Kenny finished third in the competition last year, Serena and her beau Kordell Page took home the $100,000 prize. Notably, Kenny had come into the Villa on Day 13. For now, neither have responded to TMZ's request for a comment. However, with the two splitting up, it could be interesting to see how the tensions play out in Love Island: Beyond the Villa, which has shown the couple's tiffs sometimes in the past, but the two have always been in a decent place with their relationship at time of filming. Interestingly, even before the split, JaNa and Kenny's lives seemed to be headed in different directions, with the former working as an influencer in Las Vegas and the latter mulling a return to a full-time sales role in Dallas.

Is Leah Kateb The Best-Dressed Person on Reality TV?
Love Island USA has been on air since the summer of 2019, but until recently, it frequently felt like the less popular sibling of the original U.K. franchise—that is, until Season 6 rolled around. Whether it was because fans felt the U.K. edition was entering its 'flop era,' or that more and more Americans were becoming curious about what those sexy singles were up to in Fiji, or both, when Leah Kateb hit the island armed with a wardrobe of vintage Roberto Cavalli and runway-fresh Bottega Veneta, something noticeably shifted. (In the words of Love Island U.K. legend Olivia Attwood, 'I'm sat.') Take Kateb's personal style, eye for archive fashion and quippy one-liners, add her infectious chemistry with cast mates Serena Page and JaNa Craig (the three have since been dubbed 'the PPG' girls, in the vein of the Powerpuff Girls), and audiences were enraptured, skyrocketing the season to its highest American viewership yet. (Season 7 has had a similar bump, though it's undoubtedly thanks to the groundwork that was laid by Kateb and company.) Since the season finale, Kateb's and the 'PPG's' careers have taken on a life of their own. Sponsorships, appearances, and brand deals began pouring in. While the former contestants are certainly capitalizing on the sudden limelight, they feel less like reality TV stars-turned-influencers and more like newly minted celebrities in their own right. (Even certified stars were hooked—Kerry Washington was a vocal supporter of 'PPG' on Instagram Reels.) For Kateb, it was immediately clear a new strategy was going to be needed, including using a stylist for the constant slew of VIP appearances. 'I never really paid attention to the U.S. seasons. I hated when they brought it over to America because it just wasn't as salacious or dramatic,' Kateb's now stylist, Timothy Luke Garcia tells ELLE. However, after seeing fans gush over Season 6 on X, formerly known as Twitter, Garcia decided to tune in and was immediately struck by Kateb's taste. Up until this year, Garcia could point to a number of more traditional celebrities on his client roster, including performers like Ice Spice, Kehlani, and Kali Uchis. For Kateb, who had never used a stylist before exiting the villa, and Garcia, who has never worked with an 'influencer' before, their collaboration is a series of firsts in a wholly unprecedented level of reality TV-induced fame. From observing Season 6, one thing about Kateb was abundantly clear: she had an incredibly refined eye when it came to vintage fashion, and this obsession only continued once she started attending brand events. Garcia caught wind she was sourcing looks from Voulez Vous Vintage in Los Angeles, so he decided to leave a message with the store's team that if she was ever looking for a stylist, he'd be more than happy to get in touch. Thankfully, she did, although Garcia jokes that their first time working together during New York Fashion Week got off to a mutually awkward start due to the volume of the pull and an intense time crunch. However, the two stayed in touch and began DMing each other vintage listings and mood board pictures. Eventually Coachella came around and Kateb asked Garcia to work with her again. 'I put her in a Dolce look with Dior cowgirl boots and it just kind of went viral. People were [saying] 'Coachella fits are back,'' he says. After that, the pair began collaborating full-time. For many celebrities, archive fashion pulls have taken over red carpet dressing, and as the space has become oversaturated, it can often feel like forced participation. But Kateb has been buying—yes, buying, not borrowing—pieces for her vintage library since long before her sponsored appearances—if anything, her rising star is even more of an excuse to continue it (sometimes to the chagrin of her family when they see the price tags, Garcia adds jokingly). 'A lot of people are looking at her, and I don't want anyone to ever just be able to go and literally grab the same look we just wore,' he says, noting that he's also confident in pushing her to take stylistic risks. The two now collaboratively scour the landscape for archive designer finds, often turning to their favorite stores Opulent Addict and Nordic Poetry. Sometimes individual parts from full looks need to be hunted down and joined back together, like lost puzzle pieces scattered across the globe. This was the case with Kateb's recent fall 2002 Yves Saint Laurent blouse and capris, which she wore for an appearance on Watch What Happens Live and a spring 2004 butterfly Valentino ensemble, which the two found right down to the belt. If they have to have an assistant run to the airport to ship a suitcase from Naples, Florida to L.A. same day, they'll do it. 'I don't want to say [archive fashion] was a strategy. I think it became a strategy once we realized we were getting everyone's attention,' explains Garcia. And it's certainly working. Kateb is now Garcia's most frequent client due to her sheer number of commitments—from her own Chipotle bowl to a Van Leeuwen ice cream collaboration, for which she sported a printed Acne Studios chiffon dress. As for upcoming looks, Garcia says while sharing photos of recent purchases—including archive Jean Paul Gaultier and Versace—'She has so much coming up that I can't wait for you to see.'
