Kendall’s father, Greg Washington, is Black, and his mother, Nenah Pace Washington, seems to have a mix that could include Hispanic, Arab, or Black heritage.
Fans of Love Island USA Season 6 have been buzzing on social media about this season’s singles cast, with Kendall Washington emerging as one of the most talked-about contestants.
Kendall Washington, 27, hails from San Diego but currently resides in Dallas.
He works as a territory sales manager and previously held various positions with the Dallas Stars, a prominent NHL franchise.
In earlier episodes, Kendall mentioned he is half Lebanese, but during Casa Amor, he revealed he identifies as Black.
His mother later clarified on his Instagram that he identifies as Black but with a lighter skin tone.
Kendall has openly discussed his heritage on the show, particularly with fellow contestant Sierra, making it clear that he is Black.
It’s a misconception to assume that someone with curly hair must be mixed with another ethnicity.
During the show, viewers saw heartfelt conversations between three couples—Kaylor and Aaron, Serena and Kordell, and Kendall and Nicole—and their family members through video calls.
Kendall has a close relationship with both his parents, Greg and Nenah, as evidenced by his interactions with them.
After finishing a call with his mom and sister, his sister mentioned that Kendall spoke with his dad, explaining why he was seen sitting alone afterward.
Kendall’s family, especially his sister Taylor, is admired for their genetics.
Taylor also clarified on her social media story that their family is fully Black, dispelling any rumors about their Lebanese heritage.
