Love Island USA has crowned the winners of its sixth season.
Last Friday, it was revealed that the final four couples were JaNa Craig, 27, and Kenny Rodriguez, 24, Nicole Jacky, 26, and Kendall Washington, 27, Leah Kateb, 24, and Miguel Harichi, 27, and Serena Page, 24, and Kordell Beckham, 22.
And on Sunday, America voted for its favorite couple, with host Ariana Madix, 39, revealing who took home the $100,000 prize.
Slow-burning couple Serena and Kordell, who is the younger brother of soccer player and Kim Kardashian’s ex Odell Beckham Jr., were named champions, after nearly six weeks on the show.
Even though they were voted the winners, they still had one final test as they were given the choice of splitting the money or whether one person would keep it all.

And on Sunday, America voted for its favorite couple, with host Ariana Madix, 39, revealing who took home the $100,000 prize.
Each one was given an envelope, one containing the cash prize and the other without anything.
The person who receives the prize can keep the money or decide to split it with their partner, thus being the ultimate test to prove whether they are really in it for love or money.
Kordell ended up receiving the envelope with the cash prize.
Faced with the decision of whether to keep or share the award, he opted to share it with Serena.
“Serena and I have been through a lot,” Kordell said.
“I couldn’t ask for a better experience than being in this villa with her. It’s only fair… I’m going to split the money.”
Leah and Miguel, who were together for the shortest amount of time, came in second, while JaNa and Kenny took third place.
Meanwhile Nicole and Kendall came in fourth place.

Serena and Kordell were among the original 10 cast members.
The two overcame a number of obstacles in their search for love, and at first Serena only saw Kordell as a friend.
However, their romance eventually blossomed. Just as they were getting close, things took a drastic turn when Kordell headed to Casa Amor with the rest of the boys.
There, Kordell met his new partner, Daia McGhee, and decided to bring her back to the villa, feeling that their romance was developing at a faster pace than his relationship with Serena.
Serena felt hurt after choosing to sleep outside and remain loyal to Kordell while they were apart.
However, Kordell eventually changed his mind and began fighting to regain her affections.
