JaNa Craig was having serious issues with Kenny Rodriguez in the months before their July breakup.
A source confirmed to PEOPLE that the couple split on July 27 after nine months together.
In last week’s episode of Love Island: Beyond the Villa, JaNa and Kenny went to dinner in L.A. to celebrate their nine-month anniversary. Things went downhill when they started talking about living together.
After Kenny told JaNa he’d talked to Miguel Harichi about their living situation, tensions rose. He incorrectly described it as if both he and JaNa were okay with living separately.
“I voiced to him [that] I want separation from you,” he told his girlfriend.
JaNa Tells Her Friends About the Date
On this week’s episode, JaNa filled her friends in on what happened.
During an outing with Leah Kateb and Serena Page, JaNa described how uncomfortable the date made her feel.
“He just gave me straight eye contact, like he just locked in. It looked like he was giving me serial killer vibes. When he shuts down, he just like, was locked in on me.”
“He was just staring and not talking? That’s so awkward,” Leah said. Serena agreed, adding, “I would have to go home.”
The next night, Kenny came over and apologized, JaNa told them. “I took the wrong approach by being silent, so I apologize,” he said.
Kenny’s Side of the Story
After the date, Kenny confided in Miguel again about what went wrong.
“I was just not feeling it that night,” he said. “What happened was, we’re at dinner, and then I misspoke. I said, ‘Oh yeah, I told Miguel, we wanted to live separate.'”
“And in hindsight, she really wanted to live together. The whole time it was me that was being a bit hesitant,” he admitted.
“She made it clear, no, that’s not [true]. Then I kinda just froze, the whole night.”
Kenny told Miguel he stayed silent because he didn’t want to have another “argument” about their living situation.
The Living Situation Disagreement
The anniversary date fallout centered on a major disagreement about where they’d live.
JaNa hoped that two months in L.A. filming the spinoff series would help Kenny feel comfortable moving in with her. He wasn’t convinced.
With his lease in Dallas ending soon, Kenny told Miguel they were talking about what’s next. But in his mind, JaNa is “stuck” on staying in Las Vegas.
Marriage Timeline Questions
The question of marriage also came up during the girls’ outing.
After both Leah and Serena said they would confidently marry their current boyfriends, Miguel and Kordell Beckham, JaNa was put on the spot.
When Serena asked about Kenny’s marriage timeline, JaNa told her, “He doesn’t have one.”
“That definitely is some s— that you have to figure out,” Serena said.
“I want to get married as soon as yesterday, but I want to go about things the right way,” JaNa said in a confessional. “I wanna make sure that my partner and I always feel comfortable and it’s more of an exciting thing rather than something we just wanna drag along.”
The Breakup Details
“There was no big, public blowout,” the source told PEOPLE.
Speculation spread that the former couple fought at David Dobrik’s birthday party on Saturday, July 26, the night before they broke up. But the source said, “That did not happen.”
Craig, 28, broke up with Rodriguez, 25, the following morning.
Per the source, “They will not be getting back together.”
New episodes of Beyond the Villa premiere Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET on Peacock.
