Love Island USA season 6 released its reunion episode on Monday, August 19, 2024. The cast members gathered to discuss their experiences and reflect on their journeys. Winners Serena and Kordell confirmed they were in a committed relationship. Leah and Miguel, and JaNa and Kenny followed suit, announcing that they had officially formalized their relationships after the show.

While the couples celebrated, Coye took the opportunity to apologize to JaNa and Kenny for calling their relationship "fake" online. He confessed that he misjudged their connection and felt bad about disregarding their feelings. Coye, JaNa's first partner on Love Island USA, congratulated the couple for how far they had come.

JaNa and Kenny quietly accepted his apology and expressed gratitude for being considerate. Fans of the show were taken aback and claimed Coye could have chosen a better time and space for something that significant. They also commented on JaNa and Kenny's reactions to the apology, noting how uninterested they were.

"WHY did Coye feel the need to apologize in the middle of everyone celebrating JaNa & Kenny? Sir bye. #LoveIslandUSA He had good intentions but his timing was awful," a fan wrote.
"Who tf was talking to Coye tho??? JaNa and Kenny’s faces was killing me lmaoooo #loveislandusa," a person commented.
"The way Jana and Kenny were unimpressed and unmoved with Coye’s apology bc they knew he wanted a moment… #loveislandusa #loveislandreunion," a netizen reacted.

Since JaNa eventually found a compatible partner in Kenny and was happy with him, fans were convinced she was unbothered by Coye's comments on their relationship. They appreciated how subtly she reacted to his apology.

"jana’s face at coye apologizing for speaking on her relationship with Kenny is killing me baby is over it #loveislandusa #loveislandreunion," a person tweeted.
"I'm so glad Jana paid Coye DUST with that weak a** apology. As if she needed him to validate her & Kenny's genuine connection. Foh #loveislandusa," a fan wrote.
"That apology was very mature and sweet of Coye but it didn’t look like Jana & Kenny gave one F**K though #loveislandusa," another person tweeted.

Love Island USA fans continued to comment on JaNa and Kenny's reactions. Meanwhile, some felt Coye's remarks were unnecessary and uncalled for.

"Kenny and Jana ain’t crack one smile when coye was talking I know that’s right #loveislandusa," a netizen commented.
"JaNa and Kenny mugss when coye was apologizing they don’t wanna hear it boo #loveislandusa," another fan commented.
"Coye having the audacity to speak on JaNa and Kenny when he got voted out the second episode is…. #loveislandusa," a user reacted.

Love Island USA star Coye revealed he came to the reunion to apologize to JaNa and Kenny

Coye was JaNa's first partner on Love Island USA season 6. They started on a strong note but soon crumbled once JaNa realized Coye was too nonchalant about their relationship. She was frustrated with having to initiate conversations every single time.

When Connor entered the Love Island USA villa, JaNa 'dumped' Coye for him. After having multiple partners, she ultimately coupled up with Kenny, with whom she finished the show. Coye shared his views online, stating that JaNa and Kenny's relationship appeared "fake."

At the reunion, Coye confessed that he should not have made such a remark after JaNa and Kenny announced that they had officially formalized their relationship.

"I wanted to apologize. Me and Daia went live. I spoke on Kenny and JaNa's relationship. I wasn't keeping up with you know with the show," said Coye.

He admitted he believed what he heard from others. Since JaNa had other partners before Kenny, Coye was convinced their relationship was insincere. He added:

"You know, so I generally came here today, legitimately to apologize to both of you and just say sorry. I shouldn't have spoken on your relationship."

The Love Island USA cast member confessed that after rewatching the show, he realized they had a "genuine connection." He congratulated Kenny for having a "great woman" like JaNa by his side. He hoped they accepted his apology, to which JaNa replied, "I accept it."


All episodes of Love Island USA season 6 are currently available on Peacock.
