Nicole Jacky, a former contestant on Love Island USA, has finally broken her silence regarding the recent controversy involving her partner, Kendall Washington. She took to Instagram to share an update with her followers after Washington’s private videos surfaced online.
Nicole Jacky’s Statement
Reflecting on life post-Love Island, Jacky acknowledged the challenges she has faced since leaving the villa.
“While Love Island was an incredible experience, adjusting to life outside the show hasn’t been easy,” she wrote in an Instagram Story on Thursday.
She hinted that there was much more to the story than what had been shared publicly but emphasized that she needed time to process everything. “These are real emotions, and this is my real life,” she added, expressing gratitude to her supporters for their understanding.
Kendall Washington’s Response to the Leak
While Washington was in Fiji filming Season 6 of the reality series for Peacock, explicit videos of him, in which he appeared nude on a bed, began circulating online—completely without his knowledge.
After the season wrapped up and the contestants were reunited with their phones, Washington reacted to the situation on social media.
“What a way to get my phone back, y’all,” the 27-year-old medical sales representative remarked on his Instagram Story.
He admitted that the content was meant to remain private and had been shared with someone he trusted. “It’s unfortunate that it’s now out in the open, but it is what it is,” he stated, before shifting focus to the positive aspects of his experience on Love Island.
Where Do Nicole and Kendall Stand Now?
Despite the controversy, the couple appears to still be going strong. In an interview with Page Six’s Virtual Reali-Tea podcast, Jacky confirmed that their relationship remains intact.
Washington, emphasizing his commitment to their relationship, added, “I’m dating with marriage in mind. I take this seriously.” He even joked about feeling like he was getting older and wanting to settle down.
Although Jacky had yet to say “I love you” back to Washington, she explained that she does not take the phrase lightly.
“I’ve only said ‘I love you’ twice in my life, and both times it was after someone else said it first. Looking back, I think I might have said it too soon or without fully meaning it,” she admitted.
Having been hurt in the past—and having hurt others—Jacky is determined to only express love when she truly feels it.
“I don’t want to say it just to say it back,” she explained, adding that while the idea of love is intimidating, she is making an effort to be more vulnerable. “I’m trying to be open and give it a chance, and I think it’s working out well.”
