For the past year, the most consistent thing about “Love Island USA” has been the enduring bond of Season 6’s PPG — the fan-favorite trio consisting of Serena Page, Leah Kateb and JaNa Craig — and their partners (PPGM), Kordell Beckham, Miguel Harichi and Kenny Rodriguez, respectively.
However, that harmony came to an abrupt end over the weekend when rumors surfaced that Craig and Rodriguez had broken up. The news shocked fans, especially since the couple had been seen together just hours before speculation began.
At first, the clues were subtle, as folks noticed the pair removed each other’s names from their Instagram bios, and all of PPG and PPGM unfollowed Rodriguez. Social media then quickly lit up, with fans throwing around accusations of cheating and worse as possible reasons behind Craig and Rodriguez’s sudden split.
On Tuesday, the pair finally confirmed their breakup, with Craig speaking out first in an Instagram story that thanked her followers for all of their “love & support.”
