SKY YORK JOURNAL News – A former “Love Island” couple’s path has taken some unexpected turns.
Kyra Green & Cashel Barnett: Split
The pair, Kyra Green and Cashel Barnett, formed one of the more surprising connections on the U.S. version of “Love Island,” with Kyra choosing to leave the show to pursue a relationship with Cashel after he was initially sent home. However, the musically-inclined couple’s journey together ended in October 2019.
**A Brief Reconciliation**
By the end of November of the same year, the pair had reconciled. However, according to the SKY YORK JOURNAL archives, this reunion proved short-lived, as Kyra and Cashel ended their relationship permanently in February 2020.
**Different Paths**
“We had a good go,” Cashel commented on the #NoFilter podcast following the split. “I think we’re just in different places in our lives…I think she blocked my number, to be honest.”
Kyra continued to appear on various television programs, including Match Me If You Can in 2021, The Challenge: USA in 2022 (where she also competed with Cashel), and Love Island Games in 2023. She eventually found her partner off-camera, marrying dental student and former basketball player Tal Sahar in 2024.
**Legal Troubles for Barnett**
In May 2025, Cashel Barnett faced legal issues, being jailed in Utah on charges of domestic violence and assault, according to online records reviewed by SKY YORK JOURNAL. The following month, further charges of assault and domestic violence were filed against him.
According to NBC News, Cashel denied the allegations, with his attorney Andrew K. Deesing telling the outlet, “My client and his family are enduring an incredibly difficult time, and we hope that his privacy will be respected as we work diligently to defend his name and reputation. Obviously, we’re in the very early stages of this and don’t have any further comment at this time.”
