Even with a challenging beginning, season 6 of Love Island USA had viewers cheering for a storybook romance.

It took some time for the fan-favorite couple JaNa Craig and Kenneth "Kenny" Rodriguez to connect; Kenny didn’t join the villa until the end of the second week, and JaNa was nearly eliminated just days before his arrival.

However, once they met, they quickly bonded, and their relationship endured the challenge of Casa Amor to become one of the season's most endearing couples. The finalist duo has even been likened to a Disney fairy tale romance, specifically Princess Tiana and Prince Hakeem from The Princess and the Frog.

Kenny Rodriguez, a 24-year-old from the Bronx, joined the villa as a bombshell on day 13, and he and JaNa quickly formed a strong connection.

They re-coupled on day 15, and the following day, they secured enough public votes to stay in the villa. Shortly after, they became the second couple of the season to enjoy a night in the hideaway, where they made their relationship official.

Even though they didn’t win the $100,000 prize, JaNa and Kenny are definitely contenders for the cutest couple of post-season 6. Since returning to the U.S. from Fiji, the pair have been inseparable and have given multiple joint interviews, revealing their plans for the future.

On the podcast Chicks in the Office, Kenny revealed that JaNa intends to travel from Las Vegas to Dallas to see him, where they plan to go to "the rodeo."

He mentioned, "She’s never gone, so bull riding, horse riding. All that. Get her some cowboy boots."

In a Collider interview, Kenny refuted any concerns about he and JaNa not being exclusive in real life. "There is no way that I'm playing around with anyone,"  he stated.

"For me, I'm the type of guy [where] once I establish an emotional relationship with a girl, it's more than just sex," Kenny shared. "It's hard for me to be everywhere. I like to focus on one woman at a time."
