Love Island USA Kendall Washington exposed by ex Ariana McClure on TikTok: Nicole’s in for a shock!

Kendall Washington, 27, from Dallas, Texas, and Nicole Jacky, 26, from Sacramento, California, were among the four couples featured in the finale of Love Island USA Season 6. The other couples included Kordell and Serena, Leah and Miguel, and JaNa and Kenny. 

Kendall joined the villa as an original cast member on the first day, while Nicole arrived as a bombshell on the sixth day.

Kendall and Nicole paired up during the fourth recoupling, following Kendall’s split from his original partner, Hannah Smith. They stayed together until the finale of Love Island USA Season 6 and solidified their relationship in the fourth week when Kendall asked Nicole to be his girlfriend.

Kendall and Nicole were one of the two couples granted private time in the hideaway, with JaNa and Kenny being the other. Although Kendall and Nicole appeared to be one of the most stable pairs on Love Island USA Season 6 and were the only finalists who did not recouple, opinions from fans and Kendall’s ex-girlfriend remain a different matter.

Are Kendall and Nicole from Love Island USA season 6 still together?

While Kendall and Nicole are still together, their future as a couple seems uncertain. Only three couples from the last five seasons of Love Island USA remain together as of now.

The main challenge for Kendall and Nicole’s relationship might be Kendall's reported ex-girlfriend, Ariana McClure, a Miami Dolphins cheerleader. She posted a now-deleted TikTok alleging that Kendall ended their relationship to join Love Island USA Season 6.

Ariana wrote in a TikTok video, “Me realizing that his karma for ending it with me to go on Love Island is having to say my name every time he sees the host.”

Although Ariana didn’t explicitly name her ex-boyfriend as Kendall, many fans suspect he is the one she was talking about, given his hometown.

Before cheering for the Miami Dolphins, Ariana cheered for the Dallas Cowboys, where Kendall is from. Although Kordell and Kenny, who were paired with Serena and JaNa respectively, are also from Dallas, Kendall is the only contestant from Love Island USA Season 6 who follows Ariana on Instagram, as noted by TikTok account @therealkatherine. The account suggests, “This makes me believe that this TikTok is 100 percent about Kendall.”

“He is playing Nicole so that he will win. I don’t think he actually likes her which makes me so sad because I love Nicole. She deserves better.”

Reddit users have speculated that Kendall might be Ariana’s ex due to him also following Ariana’s sister and friend. Additionally, they referenced Netflix's docuseries, America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, where Ariana discusses her career in medical device sales, the same field Kendall is in.

A Reddit user commented, “If Kendall has no haters, I’m dead. This guy is SO FAKE and he’s literally been bouncing and giddy through all his friends’ breakdowns. He def thinks he’s ‘top dog’ because of his relationship with Nicole being the only solid one in the house, but I think they’re fake af and a boring couple.”

Another user commented, “He isn’t even good at hiding it at this point… He thinks he is a lot smarter than he is. And the message that he is pushing is actually pretty harmful. It annoys me that they keep giving him the screen time. PLEASE do not vote for this clown. He has to go.”
