The results of America’s voting for Love Island USA Season 6 have been announced! Was it JaNa Craig and Kenny Rodriguez, Nicole Jacky and Kendall Washington, Leah Kateb and Miguel Harichi, or Serena Page and Kordell Beckham after nearly six weeks of dating, relating, switching partners, and ending things off?
Serena and Kordell were named the winners of Love Island USA and the $100,000 grand prize by host Ariana Madix on Sunday, July 21, 2024. Leah and Miguel finished in second place, with JaNa and Kenny coming in third and Kendall and Nicole finishing in fourth. Fireworks burst above the villa as the winners of this season were announced. It even made Madix cry as a record-breaking season came to a close.
Love Island USA Season 6 Winners
The younger brother of NFL player Odell Beckham Jr., Kordell, and Serena, a 24-year-old Texas native, were among the first cast members to get together in the villa. When they first landed in Fiji, the two attracted attention to one another with their matching neon green outfits.
However, Serena acknowledged that relationships in the past had harmed her, their relationship was reluctant to get off the ground since she wasn’t sure if she had a romantic connection to Kordell. However, the two became good friends. This led Serena to lower her defenses and try to build a relationship with the 22-year-old.

The $100,000 reward will be split between Serena and Kordell, the declared champions. JaNa and Kenny came in third, with Nicole and Kendall coming in fourth. The finalists who were together for the last period, Leah and Miguel, were the runners-up.
Love Island USA Highlights
The pair overcame several challenges in the interim. Self-described “slow-burner” Serena had just considered Kordell a friend at first. But her thoughts turned passionate when he graciously acknowledged that. When the guys left for Casa Amor, they had only recently started to discuss their sexual relationship. A few days later, Kordell returned with Daia McGhee.
Given that Serena had slept outside and had remained devoted to Kordell during their separation, it was understandable that she was furious. After realizing, though, that Serena was his main target, Kordell started fighting to get her back.
It was successful. Highlights of their adventure were shown to the couple on their last date. However, the film concluded with the words, “Not the end, the beginning.”

The Plot Twist in the Season
When the males moved from the villa to Casa Amor, things took a change. This is a fan-favorite twist when a new group of islanders is introduced to each couple, testing their bond. Kordell made a connection with Casa Amor girl Daia McGhee and brought her back to the villa despite his unresolved love for Serena. It should be no surprise that Serena was furious with Kordell for choosing to date Daia. A move that led to one of the most talked-about arguments of Love Island USA season six.
Ten islanders entered the villa at the beginning of the season. Some of whom were later driven out when fresh entrants (known as bombshells) entered the villa to test ties. The dynamics on the island were naturally upset when Casa Amor separated the islanders from their couple and introduced them to possible new acquaintances.
To the delight of supporters, Serena and Kordell eventually made their way back to one another after Kordell vowed to fight for her return. After that, the couple in the villa cut ties and started living alone. Serena and Kordell had a movie night on their last date when they watched a collection of tapes that chronicled their time on Love Island.
Love Island USA Financial Reward
The movie night took place in the bed of a pickup truck. The couple wore matching hot pink dresses for the season six finale of Love Island USA. Also, they were crowned the champions. Additionally, Serena and Kordell shared the financial award, with each receiving $50,000. On June 11, 2024, Love Island USA’s sixth season debuted on Peacock.
