JaNa Craig is speaking out about her split from ex Kenny Rodriguez.
The 28-year-old Love Island USA season six and Love Island: Beyond the Villa star and her former beau met on the Peacock dating series and broke up just a few weeks ago after one year.
In a new interview, JaNa hinted at a reason for their split, which she previously said fan theories were wrong, and her friends/co-stars have called Kenny a clout chaser.

“I don’t want to waste my breath on him if I’m being so honest, but it was what I thought it was. Like I thought it was a good relationship, but it wasn’t. And that’s fine,” she told People. “It was so dark, you know, the past. I don’t like talking about it anymore. I’ve already healed, I’d say, from it. I’ve moved on. I’ve gotten the closure I need. So, I don’t really like to dwell on the past. There’s no benefit of doing so. But, I can say, I’ve filled myself up with so much work that I don’t even have time to think about the things that happened, you know, these past few weeks. And I love that ’cause I don’t need to. It’s just not healthy for me.”
She also addressed people saying there were red flags that she missed, and said that he had a hidden agenda.
“I hate that people are telling me there was so many red flags that she missed, but I just feel like, when someone has a hidden agenda, they’re going to come off as genuine as possible to reach their goal. The red flags that people saw, I didn’t see because the communication that was there was nothing in relation to the hidden agenda,” JaNa said. “Obviously couples fight like, we fought, it’s normal. We were good. We moved on. We checked on each other. So, I thought I would be fine.”
“People are like, ‘You missed so many things.’ I’m like, ‘But I didn’t.’ Because no one’s perfect. No couple’s perfect. There are situations where we forgave each other as you would do in a relationship. It gets frustrating, but it’s OK. Life goes on,” she added.
JaNa credited her family and friends for being there for her over the past few weeks, and even thanked the fans for their support as well.
“I just want to thank my supporters. Everyone that has been riding for me since day one. People ride for me hard. Like I cannot let America down,” she said. “I keep on striving hard. I keep on working hard just to show my gratitude to them, but I don’t think I’ve ever been drowned in so much love and support. I just feel like the whole country just gave me a big hug after all I’ve been through these past few weeks. I can’t thank them enough.”
