‘Not Healthy For Us To Continue’: Love Island USA’s Kendall Washington And Nicole Jacky Calls It Quits

As a dedicated follower who has witnessed the rollercoaster ride that is Love Island USA, I must say, the breakup between Kendall Washington and Nicole Jacky truly took me by surprise. Having seen their journey unfold from the villa to the real world, I can’t help but feel a pang of sadness for them both.


Kendall Washington and Nicole Jacky, a pair from Love Island USA, have parted ways as a couple more recently. Kendall, aged 27, shared on Instagram that he terminated the relationship due to it becoming toxic. Despite this, he conveyed that he continues to hold affection for Nicole, who is 26 years old. Additionally, he requested his followers to refrain from sending harmful comments her way.

Washington posted on his Instagram story, “I’ve chosen to part ways with Nicole. Our relationship became unhealthy, but let me clarify, my feelings for her are deep and genuine. I’ve never felt this strongly about a woman before. The bond we formed in the villa was authentic, and I have no regrets about it.”

I was taken aback by the unexpected turn of events in my relationship with Kendall. In an Instagram post on August 18th, I shared that we had decided our bond was worth nurturing and I was eagerly looking forward to visiting him in Dallas soon. Yet, just two days later, on August 20th, he reached out to bring our chapter to a close. Though I acknowledge his choice, I find it challenging to come to terms with it. For now, I kindly ask for privacy as I navigate through this difficult time following the end of our relationship.

In the aftermath of appearing as the fourth-place finishers on Season 6 of Love Island USA, the pair encountered challenges upon exiting the series. An exposed video featuring Kendall stirred up tension. Despite persisting in their relationship for some time, they experienced considerable strain.

During the Season 6 reunion, Nicole called out Kendall for misrepresenting the timing of the video’s release, which he claimed was shared in confidence. She remarked, “If you claim to care about someone deeply, truthfulness should be prioritized, especially when discussing sensitive matters. It’s questionable to tell a trusted person like an ex-girlfriend that it happened years ago.”

In my own words, I exclaimed, “I discovered two days afterward from JaNa [Craig] that it was in the hotel room before the show for someone on a dating app, which is utterly insane!” Additionally, Nicole accused Kendall of deceiving fans about our relationship status and failing to protect me against internet harassment.

Nicole confessed that she felt apprehensive about expressing her love for Kendall prematurely, yet made it evident she had strong feelings towards him. Even though they’ve parted ways, she continues to hold affection for him, finding it challenging as their relationship comes to an end.
