Love Island USA season 6 couple JaNa and Kenny's journey on the show
Kenny entered the villa on Day 13 of the show when JaNa was single and looking for a partner. Her previous relationship with 'bombshell' Hakeem was cut short when he was evicted from the villa after receiving an underwhelming number of votes from the viewers.
Before Hakeem, JaNa was paired with Coye and then with Connor. Both men disappointed her in several ways, causing her to feel insecure about herself. Coye's lack of effort and Connor's betrayal by coupling up with fellow islander Leah, left JaNa scarred.
She was uncertain if she would be able to forge a connection with anyone at all. When Kenny arrived, JaNa was immediately drawn to him. After enjoying a fun date at the beach, she coupled up with him. She revealed he radiated the energy she craved, and was willing to direct all his attention to her.
Their relationship began progressing but soon hit a rough patch when Kenny returned from Casa Amor with 'bombshell' Catherine. When he saw JaNa standing in tears, he realized his mistake. He reassured her about his feelings and cut all ties with Catherine. In his finale speech, Kenny recalled the mistake he made and said:
"On my worst day here, I walked into the villa after Casa and I saw you at the firepit by yourself in tears, and it hurt me so deeply to see you like that."
The Love Island USA couple reunited and were the first to head to the Hideaway. When Kenny declared he wanted to close off his relationship with JaNa, the latter was so pleased she jokingly announced they were getting married.
Viewers were in awe of the couple's budding chemistry and expected them to finish in the top two, if not win the show. Although they were happy to see Serena and Kordell emerge victorious, they were disappointed by JaNa and Kenny's final ranking.
While announcing the results, Ariana told JaNa and Kenny that although they did not win, their journey was only beginning.
All episodes of Love Island USA season 6 are currently streaming on Peacock.
