From marriage to Cheez-Its deal, the ‘Love Island USA’ Season 6 reunion delivered unforgettable moments and jaw-dropping updates.
The cast of ‘Love Island USA’ Season 6, who shot to stardom this summer as their 36-episode journey became a social media sensation, reunited for a tell-all special that premiered yesterday. Hosted by Ariana Madix and filmed in New York City, the reunion brought back all the Islanders to share updates on their relationships. Highlights included Serena Page and Kordell Beckham revealing what they’ve been up to since winning the season, along with updates from other couples. Let’s dive into the most memorable highlights from the reunion.
Winners Serena Page and Kordell Beckham surprised everyone by announcing they are officially married. When host Ariana Madix asked for a relationship update, Page shared that she hadn’t seen the proposal coming, thinking it was just ‘a regular little date night.’ Beckham revealed that he had been planning the proposal for some time, saying that he coordinated with the restaurant to arrange a private room just for the two. They had a lovely dinner, and then he popped the question.
Finalists Kenny Rodriguez and JaNa Craig announced that they have officially made their relationship official. Rodriguez shared that Craig recently visited his home in Dallas and met his mom. Meanwhile, fellow finalists Harichi and Leah Kateb are now dating, though they’re not rushing to say, “I love you,” with Harichi remarking, “There’s no rush for anything.” On the other hand, Nicole Jacky and Kendall Washington admitted that their relationship is not in a great place. While they haven’t officially broken up, they are currently navigating a rough patch.

With the show gaining more exposure this season, viewers have become fiercely protective of their favorite Islanders. However, some fans have taken it too far by attacking others in defense of their favorite contestants. Leah Kateb has urged fans to stop this behavior.
One couple that didn't make it after leaving the villa was Aaron Evans and Kaylor Martin. Evans confessed to lying about his connection with Daniela N. Ortiz Rivera during Casa Amor. When they arrived in NYC for the reunion taping, Martin confronted Evans, asking why he hadn't been honest with her earlier. The other girls applauded Martin for standing up for herself.

During the ‘Love Island’ movie night, Serena Page recalled asking Beckham about his career aspirations, to which he mentioned wanting to pursue influencing and brand deals, specifically naming Cheez-Its. Now, Beckham’s face graces a box of the cheese crackers, making his dreams a reality.
