Having previously been unlucky in love, American bombshell Carrington Rodriguez is ready to put his "best foot forward" and find a connection in the Love Island All Stars villa.

Carrington made his villa debut on Love Island USA in 2020 and returned for the second Love Island Games. Back in 2020, the OG islander stayed until the final before he was dumped, ultimately finishing in fourth place.

Ahead of his All Stars appearance, Carrington reflected on the "great example" set by American series 12 winner Toni Laites. He said: "I think Toni set a great example and she’s amazing, so I feel as if I need to try and back her up and set the tone."

As Carrington hopes that third time's the charm, here's everything you need to know about the American islander.

What season of Love Island USA was Carrington Rodriguez on?

Carrington entered the villa on day 1 as an OG islander on season 2 in 2020. He first coupled up with Kierstan Saulter; however, his struggles with commitment and clarity became a point of contention for the pair.

After Casa Amor, he recoupled with Laurel Goldman, and the two quickly became known as 'Barbie and Ken' in the villa. Ultimately, they stayed until the finale before being dumped, finishing in fourth place.
