Love Island USA winners Serena Page and Kordell Beckham make us believe in love again. Their relationship in Season 6 was a slow burn. Initially, Serena put Kordell in the “best friend” box after a conversation about Cheez-Its and long-term goals (you had to be there). However, by the end of the season, she was smitten. We couldn’t stop smiling watching these two fall in love this summer.
Now that the season has come to a close, let’s take a look back at some of the winning couple’s best moments together:
When Serena did Kordell’s hair
Unfortunately, hairstylists aren’t on standby in the Villa. Lucky for Kordell, Serena was there to help. She did his hair in one scene and it was beyond adorable. It felt like a bonding moment for the couple.
“I did my man’s hair,” she said in a confessional. “I think we’re in a really good place.” Aw!
When Serena and Kordell came back together
Casa Amor claimed another casualty when Kordell’s head was turned by Daia McGhee. After he came back to the Villa with a Casa girl, fans thought his romance with Serena was dead in the water. He explained that he wanted to continue getting to know both women but Serena was not having it (good for her). Fans’ hearts broke watching their fallout but thankfully, they were able to patch things up. Kordell realized pretty quickly that Serena was the girl for him. He pulled her for a chat and poured his heart out. He told her that he “always wanted her from day one” and that he is “willing to fight” for her. Um. We’re not crying, you’re crying!!
When Serena missed Kordell
Listen, it was brutal watching Serena lament over how much she missed her man while he had his tongue down another girl’s throat in Casa. However, it was sweet to see a more vulnerable side of her. Up until then, she kept her cards close to her chest. Kordell was always the more emotional one. She kept him at a distance for the first half of the season. It was cute that Kordell was on her mind the whole time. She had zero interest in the new men. If only he could’ve done the same. Sigh!
When Serena didn’t kiss Nigel
Serena’s connection with Kordell was put to the test when bombshell Nigel Okafor chose her for a date. She went on the date but it was clear Kordell’s feelings were in the back of her head. She wouldn’t kiss the new Bombshell, telling him she had to be respectful to her current match.
When Serena and Kordell met each other’s families
Serena and Kordell had the opportunity to meet each other’s families at the end of the season. It felt like a big step for them. She even admitted she was “nervous” to talk to his family because she wanted them to like her. How cute!
When Kordell chose Serena
In the premiere episode, Serena had eyes for another Islander but Kordell always wanted her. After Coye Simmons decided to pursue JaNa Craig, Kordell had the opportunity to match with Serena and he took it. He didn’t hesitate when choosing between her and Hannah Smith. He told host Ariana Madix, “I don’t really have to think it through. I already know who I want, so it will be Serena.” It would have been cuter if she picked him first but Coye Simmons is 6’8. You can’t blame her!
When Kordell split the money with Serena
Love Island always ends with a choice. The winning couple is each given an envelope, one has $0, and the other has $100,000. The Islander that chooses the $100,000 decides to split the money 50/50 or take the prize pot for themselves. It’s honestly such a weird way to end the show. Love and money don’t mix, duh! In the Season 6 finale, Kordell selected the $100,000 and chose to split the money with his girl. We don’t want to praise him too much for that. After all, it’s the obvious choice. But it was still cute to watch him enthusiastically give away $50,000 to Serena.
