Love Island USA season 6 has come to an end with the reunion episode released on August 19. Amidst the bittersweet feeling of letting one of the most popular seasons of the show go, fans are getting curious about the relationships of the couples from the villa after the show concluded.

When season 6 aired, Kenny Rodriguez and JaNa Craig stood strong among the three final couples, and even though they didn't win the title, their relationship was forever embedded in the viewers' memories. Their chemistry, similarities, and teamwork made them one of the best couples of the season.

In an interview with E! News published on August 21, Kenny came forward to talk about his relationship with JaNa post-Love Island USA season 6, and about their living situation. Kenny shared the details of how he made things official with JaNa saying:

"I took her out to a restaurant and I got her a bouquet of flowers and asked her to be my girlfriend there".

Regardless to say, JaNa said yes and the two have been together since.


How are Kenny and JaNa coping with the long distance between them after Love Island USA season 6 ended?

JaNa and Kenny were successful at finding love in the villa and they were hell-bent on keeping their relationship going from different states, according to what the 24-year-old Love Island USA star told E! News. Kenny lives in Dallas, Texas, while JaNa lives in Las Vegas, Nevada. Talking about the distance between them, Kenny mentioned:

"We spent two weeks without seeing each other. That was hard."

The two weeks he was referring to were right after the show ended. He added that when he wasn't with her he thought of her "all the time". He also shared that JaNa had been his peace through "all this." Shedding light on how they overcame the hurdle of the long distance between them, Kenny explained that they video-called each other every day, till it was time for one of them to fly to the other.

"We were FaceTiming in the morning and the night. She came to Dallas, and so we got to Texas BBQ. We went around, gave her a quick tour".

Kenny noted that before the cast members gathered for the Love Island USA reunion, he and JaNa met Kendall for a brief moment in New York where they partied together.

Kenny kept the details of his relationship real as he revealed some habits of JaNa that he had to keep up with. He said that JaNa took a significant time to get ready, which made them run late to wherever they were going. He continued:

"Everything from the hair, the makeup is a whole entire process. I guess I'm just going to have to live with it and be patient throughout it all."

When Kenny was asked what was in store for them in the future, he said that since they both liked traveling, they would continue to explore.
