Kyra Green & Cashel Barnett: A Story of Love and Splits
One of the U.S. version’s most surprising pairings emerged on Love Island when Kyra Green made the bold decision to exit the show in pursuit of a second chance with Cashel Barnett, after she had initially voted him off. However, complications ensued when she discovered Cashel had already made his way back to the show. Ultimately, this musically inclined duo parted ways in October 2019.
By late November of the same year, reconciliation looked promising as the couple reunited. Yet, by February 2020, Kyra and Cashel had decided to end their relationship permanently.
Cashel opened up about their breakup on the #NoFilter podcast, saying, “We had a good run. I think we’re at different stages in our lives now…to be honest, I think she’s even blocked my number.”
Since their breakup, Kyra has continued her reality TV journey, appearing on shows such as Match Me If You Can in 2021, The Challenge: USA in 2022—where Cashel was also a contestant—and Love Island Games in 2023. Despite these on-screen endeavors, Kyra found love off-camera with dental student and former basketball player Tal Sahar in 2024.
In May 2025, Cashel was jailed in Utah on charges of domestic violence and assault, according to online records. The following month, new 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.”
