Love Island USA Season 6 Couples: Where Are They Now in 2026?
Love Island USA Season 6, which aired in 2024, captivated audiences with its dramatic villa romances. However, as the cameras stopped rolling, many couples faced the real-world test of their relationships. While some pairs have managed to build lasting connections, others have parted ways, revealing the challenges of transitioning from reality TV to everyday life.
Serena Page and Kordell Beckham: The Winning Couple Still Going Strong
Serena Page and Kordell Beckham emerged as the winners of Love Island USA Season 6, and as of 2026, their relationship remains intact. Their journey wasn't without hurdles; during Casa Amor, Kordell briefly explored another connection before recommitting to Serena. After winning the $100,000 prize, which they split, they made their relationship official during a Santa Monica date in August 2024.
Kordell relocated from Dallas, Texas, to Los Angeles to be closer to Serena, though they maintain separate apartments. Serena has stated she will only move in with him upon engagement. Professionally, they've collaborated with major brands like Savage X Fenty, CeraVe, and Topicals, and appeared in Summer Walker's "Heart of a Woman" lyric video. In a February 2025 Cosmopolitan interview, Serena praised their dynamic, saying, "He hypes me up and makes me feel so comfortable... comfortable enough to do weird stuff! We lowkey work well together."
Leah Kateb and Miguel Harichi: Runners-Up Building a Life Together
Runners-up Leah Kateb and Miguel Harichi are also still together as of 2026. They confirmed their relationship at the season 6 reunion in August 2024 after Miguel's heartfelt speech. Overcoming long-distance challenges between London and Los Angeles, Miguel moved to L.A. in early 2025, and the couple now lives together.
Their careers have flourished post-show, with appearances on Beyond the Villa and at high-profile events like the 2026 Grammy Awards and New York Fashion Week. They've secured collaborations with brands such as In-N-Out and Savage X Fenty. In an August 2024 Us Weekly interview, Miguel addressed calling Leah "my wife" on social media, explaining, "She’s not my wife legally... but for me, I just view her as my wife. When I date, I date for marriage."
JaNa Craig and Kenny Rodriguez: A Sudden and Painful Split
JaNa Craig and Kenny Rodriguez, who finished third, broke up on July 27, 2025, just before their first anniversary. The split occurred abruptly after they attended David Dobrik's birthday party. JaNa confirmed the breakup on Instagram Stories, writing, "Discovering that someone you loved isn't who you thought they were... has been truly devastating."
Kenny responded via Instagram, acknowledging the difficulty of the situation: "Breakups are never easy, especially in the public eye... I'll always be grateful for the time we shared." Post-split, castmates like Leah Kateb and Serena Page unfollowed Kenny on social media, showing support for JaNa, who has since focused on healing and stated she is done with reality TV dating.
Other Season 6 Couples: Short-Lived Romances
Nicole Jacky and Kendall Washington, who placed fourth, broke up on August 20, 2024, one day after the reunion aired. Kendall ended the relationship via phone call, citing it as unhealthy. The split was fueled by a leaked private video of Kendall, which Nicole confronted him about at the reunion, accusing him of dishonesty.
Kaylor Martin and Aaron Evans, whose relationship lasted the longest during the season, split in August 2024 after Kaylor watched Casa Amor episodes and felt betrayed. She told Rolling Stone, "I deserve someone who is on the same wavelength as me." Aaron admitted to not being fully honest about another contestant, leading to their breakup.
Kassy Castillo and Rob Rausch, who finished sixth, confirmed their split at the reunion, stating they remain friends but distance (Texas vs. Alabama) hindered a deeper connection. Rob later appeared on The Traitors US Season 4.
