The much-awaited reunion of Love Island season 6 finally happened and we saw all the Islanders return and share the latest updates about their relationships after leaving the villa. Fans finally got their questions answered as the episode revealed which Islanders stayed together and who split up.
The reunion was hosted by Ariana Madix, and many former Islanders were present, including finalists Serena Paige, Kordell Beckham, Kenny Rodriguez, Miguel Harichi, Leah Kateb, Jenna Craig, Nicole Jackie, and Kendall Washington. In addition, Aaron Evans, Keller Martin, Rob Roche, Olivia Walker, Andrea Carmona, Connor Newsom, Daniella Noel Ortiz-Rivera, and others also attended the reunion.
In the episode, viewers saw Serena Page and Kordell Beckham share an update on their relationship after winning the show. The couple announced that they are in a serious relationship and have moved in with each other. Page said, “It’s been great, we moved into a new apartment. So it’s just been busy, busy busy… you know, getting used to things and getting comfortable in my new home.”
Kenny Rodriguez and Jenna Craig said they made their relationship official. Kenny also revealed that Jenna came to his house in Dallas and met his mother.
Miguel Harichi and Leah Kateb also admitted that they have been seeing each other since leaving the show and that they have developed deep feelings for one another.
Nicole Jackie and Kendall Washington revealed that they have been going through a difficult time. Although they said they haven’t broken up, it seemed like there are a lot of issues between the couple. Nicole revealed how Kendall was lying to her about her leaked private video and how there was no honest communication between the two. Kendall apologized to her and explained that she was trying to “give her some space” while dealing with the situation privately. But Nicole claimed, “You haven’t had my back since we’ve been out here. I’ve been taking all the heat for you. Not talking about it to save you, you only contact me when it’s relevant to you.”
Keller Martin and Aaron Evans had a huge fight earlier in the evening, after which the two had a bad relationship. Aaron admitted that he lied to Keller about his intimate relationship with Daniela N. Ortiz Rivera during their stay at Casa Amor. An angry Keller asked Aaron why he couldn’t take accountability and be honest with her. She explained how she entered the villa as a confident girl, but Aaron completely defeated her. All the girls applauded her for standing up for herself. In the end, she told Evans, “Leave me alone! You don’t deserve me” and broke all ties with him.
At the reunion, Ariana asked Andrea about her behaviour after her elimination. Referring to her elimination, Andrea Carmona admitted that she faced hate on the internet. Leah and Jana called her out for her irrational behaviour after the show and during her appearance on the Love Island spin-off show Aftersun.
After this, host Ariana Maxi spoke about the growing hate towards the contestants on social media. With the growing popularity of the show, fans are attacking other islanders in defence of their favourites. One of the most popular islanders, Leah Kateb, also strongly expressed her opinion against it and asked fans to stop it.
One of the biggest dramas of this season was the elimination of Andrea. After the finale, fans were eager to know who out of Leah, Keller, Serena and Olivia eliminated Andrea. Islanders and fans finally got the answer during the reunion as they got to see 16 minutes of unedited footage of the four girls discussing who to eliminate out of Nicole, Andrea and Jana. Eventually they eliminated Andrea, but the decision to send Andrea home caused quite a big fight between the four, with Leah trying to back down in the process as she wanted Nicole eliminated.
