Serena and Kordell's journey on Love Island USA season 6

Serena and Kordell coupled up on the first night of the show. Impressed by her contagious laughter, Kordell knew he could build a connection with her. While he tried to make their relationship progress, Serena hesitated to open up. However, this did not dissuade Kordell from pursuing Serena.

Serena considered exploring other options and went on a date with Love Island USA 'bombshell' Nigel. However, she reunited with Kordell once she realized she had feelings for him. She ultimately confessed that she wanted their relationship to evolve.

Kordell's run at Casa Amor with 'bombshell' Daia, compelled Serena to break up with him. Kordell realized his fault and ended his relationship with Daia to make it up to Serena. After much contemplation, Serena granted her Love Island USA partner another chance.

In the finale, the couple went on a romantic date, where they were shown a montage of their journey in the villa. They got emotional, recalling the memories they made. During the final declaration of love, Kordell said:

"I know we didn't hit it off instantly like the rest of the islanders, but that's the best part of our story. Our biggest battle was after Casa. Seeing all the tears in your eyes made me question if I made the wrong decision and that was the turning point that opened up my mind and made me realize everything."

While confessing her feelings, Serena said:

"No matter how many times I tried to escape my feelings for you, I always found myself drawn back to you. You got me! And I'm excited to experience what we have on the outside. So thank you, again, Kordell, for the best summer ever. #Korena."

After Serena and Kordell were announced winners of the show, the latter decided to split the $100,000 prize between him and his partner.
