The Challenge: USA contestant Javonny Vega has sky-dived once
Javonny participated in Love Island Season 3 along with 11 other contestants to find a new love and win $100,000. He tried to develop a bond with Olivia Kaiser on the show, who later confessed that she just wanted to be friends with him. In 2021 after the elimination, Javonny revealed that he was still friends with her. In an interview with Popculture, he said,
"Seeing the behind the scenes now of what she said about me, I wouldn't pursue her, but we'll just be friends. If a spark sparks out, it is what it is. Other than that, she's a friend."
Javonny later revealed that he was dating another girl after the Love Island experience via an Instagram story. He didn't reveal her identity but did say that she worked in real estate, just like him. He said,
"My journey has ended, I am currently dating this gorgeous woman right here and we both do real estate too."
He also teased the identity of his new girlfriend by saying that she was the 'World’s best-kept secret.' In the trailer for Love Island, he revealed that he did not want his partner to be/have,
"Low s*x drive, a woman who doesn’t care for her well-being and wants to be lazy, and a woman who doesn’t want to be great."
In 2017, The Challenge contestant was found to be in possession of 2.9 grams of cannabis during a traffic stop. He was not arrested at the time and pleaded not-guilty on the charges.
In the trailer for Love Island, he revealed that he had a tiger tattooed on his chest on his 24th birthday because he is a Leo. Javonny is involved in many competitive sports like boxing, swimming and football. He likes to travel and, according to his Instagram, has skydived at least once.
