Love Island USA alums JaNa Craig and Kenny Rodriguez have officially called it quits, and it’s anything but amicable. Within a day of their breakup going public, both reality TV stars decided to speak out but not without drama. What was a heartfelt message quickly devolved into a nasty social media war, and throughout it all, fans have been hanging on their every word.

The couple, who first met on Love Island USA Season 6 in 2024, had been together for approximately a year. Their was among the few relationships that endured long after the cameras were shut down, generating even more buzz after they appeared on Beyond the Villa. But as of today, it seems that fairy-tale story has completely broken apart.

The buzz began when JaNa Craig took to Instagram Stories on July 29 to address the split. Without naming specific details, she didn’t hold back when describing how the relationship ended.

“Terrible, disgusting and disappointing” she called it, sparking major speculation about what really went down.

She hinted that what fans saw wasn’t the full story, claiming things hadn’t been genuine “since day one.”


JaNa Craig and Kenny's breakup drama goes viral

JaNa Craig’s words alone had fans reeling, but things took a turn when Kenny posted his own response. In contrast to her emotional tone, Kenny kept it calm, even graceful. He thanked JaNa Craig for their time together, admitted the relationship wasn’t built to last, and wished her well in a soft-spoken farewell.

“I release this chapter with no ill will,” he wrote.

But that wasn’t enough to smooth things over. Within the hour, JaNa Craig fired back on Instagram with a post that made her position crystal clear:

“stfu you manipulative liar.”

She tagged Kenny directly and accused him of not owning up to who he really was. She made it known that her earlier message was her being nice. This was her warning:

“Do not piss me off.”

As expected, the internet exploded. The contrast between their statements was too stark to ignore. One was peaceful, the other furious and fans were quick to take sides. Adding more fuel to the fire, eagle-eyed followers noticed that JaNa Craig’s close friends had already unfollowed Kenny earlier in the month, suggesting the fallout had been brewing behind the scenes for a while.

Neither JaNa nor Kenny have gone into the specifics of what caused the split, but it’s clear there’s serious tension. While Kenny is trying to move on with a composed front, JaNa’s reaction suggests a deeper betrayal she’s not willing to stay quiet about. And in true 2025 fashion, the internet is watching it all unfold in real-time.

Whether more details will come out remains to be seen, but for now, one thing is clear this breakup was anything but mutual, and it’s far from over.
