Love Island USA has announced the winners of the sixth season.
Last Friday, the final four couples were announced: JaNa Craig, 27, and Kenny Rodriguez, 24, Nicole Jacky, 26, and Kendall Washington, 27, Leah Kateb, 24, and Miguel Harichi, 27, and Serena Page, 24, and Kordell Beckham, 22.
And on Sunday, America voted for its favorite couple and host Ariana Madix, 39, announced who took home the $100,000 prize.
Slow-blossoming couple Serena and Kordell – the younger brother of football player and Kim Kardashian’s ex Odell Beckham Jr. – were crowned champions after nearly six weeks on the show.
Although they were chosen as winners, they still had one final test ahead of them: They were allowed to choose whether to share the money or whether one of them should get it all.
They each received an envelope, one with the cash prize and the other with nothing.
The person who wins the prize money can either keep it for themselves or share it with their partner, making it the final test to show whether they are really in it for love or money.
Kordell finally received the envelope with the cash prize.
Faced with the decision of keeping the prize or sharing it, he decided to share it with Serena.
“Serena and I have been through a lot,” Kordell said.
“I couldn’t ask for a better experience than being in this villa with her. It’s only right… I’ll share the money.”
Leah and Miguel, who had been together the shortest time, took second place, while JaNa and Kenny took third place.
Nicole and Kendall are now in fourth place.
Serena and Kordell were among the original ten cast members.
In their search for love, the two had to overcome numerous obstacles, although Serena initially only saw Kordell as a friend.
However, their romance eventually blossomed. Just as they were getting closer, things took a drastic turn when Kordell went to Casa Amor with the other guys.
There, Kordell met his new partner, Daia McGhee, and decided to bring her to the villa because he felt their romance was developing faster than his relationship with Serena.
Serena was hurt because she chose to sleep outside and stay faithful to Kordell while they were apart.
But Kordell eventually changed his mind and began fighting to win back her affection.
On their last date, the two looked at the highlights of their trip, which ended with the remark: “Not the end, the beginning…”
The couple’s love story came full circle when they wore matching pink outfits for the finale, just like in the premiere episode.
During the finale, Ariana also announced that there will be a Love Island USA season 6 reunion on August 19.
The islanders gather to discuss their summer adventure in Fiji.
There were a total of 33 islanders on the show this season, starting with the first 10 singles and the numerous bombshells who came and went.
The reality dating series was first hosted by Ariana, a former host of “Vanderpump Rules,” after she succeeded Sarah Hyland.
Love Island USA streams on Peacock.
