Hannah was one of the original Islanders on 2024’s season six of Love Island USA, where she was first coupled up with Kendall Washington. 

Her time on the show was relatively short-lived, however, and Kendall eventually went on to couple up with Islander Nicole Jacky. And while Nicole and Kendall were one of the five couples to make it to the show’s finale—losing to Serena Page and Kordell Beckham—what seemed like true love soon showed cracks once they left the villa.

“On August 18th, Kendall and I agreed our relationship was worth working on,” Nicole wrote in an Aug. 20 Instagram Story. “We were making plans for me to visit him in Dallas soon. However, today, August 20th, he called and ended things.”

Nicole admitted that her ex’s decision took her by surprise. 

“While I understand and respect his decision, it’s hard to process this one,” she continued. “I opened up to him in the villa, and I still love him for now. I’m struggling mentally and all I ask for is privacy during this time.”

For his part, Kendall shared his own thoughts on the split. 

“I have decided to end things with Nicole,” he wrote in an Aug. 20 Instagram Story. “It reached a point where it was not healthy for us to continue a relationship. I still love and care for Nicole. I’ve never developed such strong feelings for a woman in my life.”

However, there were no hard feelings on his end. 

“I have no regrets for the connection I made with her in the villa and it was real,” he added. “She does not deserve any hate. Please stop with the negative comments/DM’s. We’re taking this time to focus on our mental health. Thank you guys.”
