Pop 3:Jax Taylor confirmed he’s stepping away from his LA bar, Jax’s Studio City, to focus on sobriety and mental health. Sam McKinney and Alli Jo Hinkes hard-launched their relationship on Instagram, even though they never crossed paths on Bachelor in Paradise. And Love Island's Cierra Ortega announced she won’t attend the reunion, saying she feels hurt and invisible after being iced out by Nic and Olandria.

Deep Dive:Love Island USA power couple JaNa Craig and Kenny Rodriguez shocked fans when their breakup went public after a wave of unfollows following David Dobrik’s party. JaNa later suggested the entire relationship had been fake, while her friends came forward with serious accusations against Kenny—including racism, clout-chasing, and manipulation. Kenny’s vague response didn’t sit well, prompting JaNa to fire back and call him out directly. The drama quickly spiraled, revealing just how deep—and messy—things really were.

Final Thoughts:Kaylor and Aaron might still have something. Miguel and Leah are absolutely end game. Serena and Kordell need more screen time. We’re not done with these villa couples yet.
