The breakup was confirmed by Nicole on Instagram, revealing that Kendall called and ended things despite their previous efforts to work on the relationship and plans she had to visit him in Dallas. Their relationship troubles became public particularly around the reunion episode, where issues including Kendall lying about a leaked personal video surfaced, causing emotional distress for both. Nicole expressed that she still loves and cares for Kendall but is struggling mentally after their breakup, asking for privacy during this difficult time. Kendall also expressed that their relationship became unhealthy to continue and shared that he had never developed such strong feelings for a woman before.

After the breakup, Nicole faced public backlash, especially after discussing the breakup in a podcast shortly after, which impacted her public presence. Their breakup was finalized by a phone call shortly after the reunion aired in August 2024, and since then they have had limited interaction. Kendall and Nicole's breakup was a notable event in the Love Island community due to the emotional and public nature of their relationship issues.
