JaNa Craig has plenty of experience dealing with relationship drama, and she’s wiser from it. During her star-making turn on season 6 of the hit show Love Island USA, her happy-go-lucky demeanor won America’s hearts, and she also found a beautiful bond with the PPG (better known as fellow contestants Leah Kateb and Serena Page). She left the villa in third place with her ex. But after a very public breakup last summer, JaNa has spent 2026 enjoying a jet-setting single girl era.
Throughout her healing process, she’s picked up a ton of insights on love to share for those in long-term relationships, short-term situationships, and everything in between. In honor of Valentine’s Day, we had JaNa address Cosmopolitan readers’ complex relationship woes—and she did not hold back in the slightest. Ahead, learn JaNa’s tips for how to deal with everything from a partner who follows one too many OnlyFans models to disagreements over location sharing. And be sure to take notes.
My husband keeps begging me to share my location with him, but I really don’t believe in doing that at all. He says I’m crazy and thinks I’m trying to hide something from him. How can I settle his worries?
You can settle his worries by sharing your location. If that’s your husband, then that’s the love of your life for better or for worse, and you already know this is a safe, trusted, some type of agreement that made you say yes when he proposed. If he already knows that you’re going to work, going to Pilates, or getting coffee with the girls, why is it so bad that he can’t just see you and check on you from time to time? Imagine if you kept asking him for his location and he was like, “Nah.” It’s an automatic divorce. Girl, it’s your husband—you’re tripping.
Me and a guy I’ve been talking to have insane chemistry, but he’s a workaholic who always cancels our plans at the last minute for work obligations. I feel like I’m not a priority. Should I leave him alone?
Girl, yes, what’s wrong with you? One, he’s either married and keeping you a secret or two, he’s canceling because he doesn’t really like you as much as you like him. Either way, it’s a lose-lose. I’m just saying, you should know your worth. He’s not your person. Your person is always going to prioritize you and make sure that you feel like you’re first. They’re always going to cut time out of their busy schedule, no matter what, to show you that they care. So the fact that he doesn’t even do that? Girl, ew, know your worth. And you sound really pretty, so stop it, okay?
I’ve never posted my partner as a rule, but my boyfriend posted every girl he’s dated before me. That said, he literally never posts about me at all. Is it hypocritical of me to want him to post me if I’m not doing the same?
Sis, you’re wildn’. I respect the “never posting partner” rule because I’m about to do that moving forward. Obviously, the last time I did post, it didn’t work out, so I respect the privacy idea. If he’s doing it to be petty, I can’t be too mad at him because maybe his feelings are hurt. If he’s literally reciprocating the energy that you’re giving him (don’t hate me when I say this), we can’t be too mad—we can’t be mad at all, actually. Maybe when you start posting him, he’ll post you, too. And if he doesn’t post you when you start posting him, then you block him because it was always his fault.
I’ve been talking to this guy for a month, and he just told me he’s been asking ChatGPT for advice on how to impress me. Is this normal? Should I be worried our connection isn’t real?
Now I had an ex—that a few of us might know—that did that, and in the end, the relationship wasn’t real. It was ridiculously fake on his end. So is the connection real? I mean, it happened to me, and it wasn’t real, but when I found out, I thought it was thoughtful…because I felt flattered…but you should probably feel worried. Sorry if that didn’t help.
My boyfriend and I have been together for almost a year, and he still follows a handful of OnlyFans models. I’ve hinted many times about how uncomfortable this makes me. I support the girls doing their thing, but I’d prefer he unfollow them. He says following them means nothing. What do I do?
Yikes. You block him, and you let him go. Because if he genuinely cared about you and he fully is aware that something he does makes you uncomfortable, he would handle it with no hesitation. That’s actually annoyed me now that I just read that again.
