Kenny Rodriguez and JaNa Craig’s relationship took a dramatic turn during their anniversary date on August 7, where Kenny expressed his desire for separation, leading to their confirmed breakup just weeks later, leaving JaNa feeling devastated and betrayed by the realization that their love was not as genuine as she believed.

In a shocking turn of events, Kenny Rodriguez and JaNa Craig, fan-favorite contestants from “Love Island: Beyond the Villa,” have confirmed their split just weeks after a tense anniversary date that revealed deep cracks in their relationship.

The couple, who had been together for nine months, celebrated their anniversary on August 7, 2025, but what should have been a romantic evening quickly turned into a revealing discussion about their future—one that neither of them had anticipated.

As they sat down for their special date night, the atmosphere was anything but celebratory.

Kenny, 25, and JaNa, 28, began the evening with a playful jab when JaNa noted that they had technically been together for ten months, referencing Kenny’s brief betrayal during the Casa Amor twist, where he recoupled with another woman while she remained loyal.

This comment seemed to set a tense tone for the night, as Kenny attempted to downplay the incident, leading to an awkward exchange.

The conversation took a serious turn when the topic of moving in together arose.

JaNa expressed her desire for them to take the next step, but Kenny’s response was far from what she hoped for. “I want separation from you,” he stated bluntly, leaving JaNa visibly upset.

She recalled her emotional reaction, saying, “I started bawling crying, and then I hung up,” after Kenny had outright refused to consider living together. JaNa admitted, “I guess I do like the separation [and] space,” but it was clear that the conversation had taken a toll on both of them.

As the date progressed, Kenny reiterated his need for space, clarifying to JaNa that he had mentioned their living situation to a mutual friend, Miguel Harichi, which further aggravated her.

“What’d you tell him?” she pressed, and Kenny replied, “I just mentioned the fact that we like our space.” J

aNa countered, expressing her desire to be “smothered in your space,” while Kenny insisted on his need for independence, stating, “I want my space.”

The tension escalated as they left the date, with both confiding in producers about their feelings.

“Oh f—,” Kenny muttered as they got into the car, indicating his frustration. JaNa, still upset, confronted him about his comments, saying, “You full-on said, ‘Let’s live separate because I need space and it’s too soon.’”

Kenny’s nonchalant response of “Bro” suggested his readiness to end the conversation, and he later confided that he was “ready to just dip.”

Just days later, on July 28, a source confirmed to PEOPLE that the couple had officially split, stating, “They will not be getting back together.”

Speculation surrounding their breakup intensified after a rumored altercation at David Dobrik’s birthday party on July 26, where they were seen together.

However, the source clarified that there was “no big, public blowout” leading to their separation.

In the wake of the breakup, JaNa took to her Instagram Stories on July 29 to express her feelings, stating, “None have matched up to how terrible, disgusting and disappointing it truly is.”

She described the painful realization that the person she loved was not who she thought they were and that the relationship she believed she was building had not been genuine from the start.

As fans of “Love Island” process this shocking news, many are left wondering what went wrong in a relationship that once seemed so promising.

The revelations from their anniversary date offer a glimpse into the complexities of love and communication, especially when reality television fame complicates personal relationships.

With Kenny and JaNa now going their separate ways, viewers are left to speculate about their future and the impact of their experiences on their lives beyond the villa.
