Since she entered the villa on day 1, JaNa Craig's become one of the most compelling new singles on Love Island USA season 6 cast. JaNa initially connected with Coye Simmons during episode 1 before deciding to break things off with him due to his poor communication skills. This freed her up to pursue a connection with Connor Newsum during a recoupling ceremony.

Hosted by Vanderpump Rules' Ariana Madix, Love Island USA is a spin-off of the UK original, where eligible young singles enter the villa looking for love and are tested with challenges, new arrivals (otherwise known as bombshells), and betrayals during recoupling ceremonies. JaNa and Connor seemed to be a harmonious pairing until Connor and Leah Kateb began showing interest in one another - Jana perceived this as a betrayal. JaNa handled the issue with grace and composure, and recoupled with Hakeem White. She revealed that there's much more to know about this islander.

JaNa Craig’s Age

She's 27 Years Old

Born in 1996, JaNa is currently 27 years old, and due to turn 28 sometime in mid-December, based on her previous Instagram posts. JaNa thanked her followers for their birthday wishes on and around her birthday. That timeline makes JaNa a Sagittarius, and people born under that Sun Sign have birthdays in the November 22 to December 21 range. JaNa has commented on Love Island USA, saying that she does have Sagittarius energy - she feels fiery and adventurous, as most Sagittarians do.

Coye is currently 28 years old, and he's a Cancer. Connor's currently 28 years old. Hakeem is 29 years old, and like Coye, he's a Cancer. It seems that JaNa is interested in partners slightly older than her. She also has a pattern of gravitating towards Water signs. The Water signs are Cancer, Pisces, and Scorpio. She tends to like them more than fellow fire signs (Sagittarius, Aries, and Leo). However, her matches with Connor and Hakeem didn't end up working out. Perhaps she isn't as compatible with water signs as she might think.

JaNa Craig’s Job

She's Currently A Day Trader

On JaNa's LinkedIn profile, she lists that she's been the CEO of her own company, JC Ventures LLC, for the past 6 years, since June 2018. She specializes in the redistribution of brand-name products on major sales channels. Since February 2020, she has also worked as a cocktail server at Fluxx Nightclub. In June 2018, she became a waitress at Hooters of America. Finally, she states that she has also worked as a tutor at Ali'imanu Elementary in Honolulu, Hawaii in 2013, and as a sales associate at Heavenly Soles from 2008 to 2010.

According to the Love Island USA season 6 cast announcement, JaNa's bio stated that she works as a day trader, and speaks Japanese and Spanish. Her "kryptonite" is facial hair on any man. Her Instagram bio confirms her designation as a day trader, but states that JaNa is also an Amazon FBA Entrepreneur - with FBA standing for, "Fulfillment By Amazon." Amazon FBA likely relates to day trading because it allows JaNa to outsource order fulfillment to Amazon for the products she redistributes on major sales channels through JC Ventures LLC.

JaNa Craig’s Instagram

She's Active On Most Social Media Platforms

JaNa currently has 64,000 followers on Instagram, where she can be found under the handle @janacraig_. Her most recent post was shared on June 5, 2024, where she shared her Love Island USA cast photo, captioned, "Surprise (celebration emoji) Catch JaNa on Season 6 of #LoveIslandUSA premiering June 11th on @peacock (heart emoji)." Her last post before sharing this exciting news was a series of three photos of her on the beach in Paiko, Hawaii, where she posed by a rock. She captioned the carousel, "Turnin it up a notch."

JaNa can also be found on TikTok under the handle @jana.craig, where she's still growing her following at just under 6000. She posts very entertaining travel content in places such as Istanbul, Turkey and the Dominican Republic, reviews of her favorite places in Las Vegas, and updates on her rhinoplasty procedure. Aside from TikTok, Jana has a YouTube channel as well, which has less than 3000 followers. She posted only one video, which showed her redeg her home office space. It was posted earlier, in 2024.

JaNa Craig’s Hometown

She Hails From Both Kailua, Hawaii, And Okinawa, Japan

JaNa originally hails from Kailua, Hawaii but has also spent time in Okinawa, Japan. She currently lives in Las Vegas, Nevada. Before relocating to Las Vegas, JaNa received her Bachelor of Arts from San Diego State University, where she completed her Communication & Media Studies degree from 2018 to 2020. Having lived in San Diego, Hawaii and now Nevada, JaNa clearly has a preference for warm climates and places that offer year-round sunshine. JaNa posted at Instagram on May 20, 2020. In the post, she was at San Diego State to announce that she graduated with honors.

JaNa is a force to be reckoned with on Love Island USA, where her confidence and boldness have kept her relevant and secure in the villa even when Hakeem was eliminated in the most recent episode. Now that she's once again single, perhaps the next new bombshell might catch her attention. He could seize the opportunity to be coupled up with her. Despite Miguel not appreciating JaNa's egg cooking abilities, her ability to show up as her best self in every situation at the villa, regardless of who has betrayed her, will give her a leg up in the future.
