Times of Malta published an interview with Kyonne Gravina, a Love Island Malta contestant following his reveal on social media. The interview is centred around his relationship with his late father, who was jailed for beating a woman.
Despite his father’s troubled past, Kyonne emphasizes his own identity, aiming to showcase it on the reality show. He recounts his attempts to guide his father, expressing disappointment at unfortunately not being able to do so.
Kyonne’s father Keith was handed a four year prison sentence after beating up a woman in her home in 2018. He was also separately accused of assaulting another woman by hitting her with a metal rod amongst other things.
Days after being sentenced for his first crime, Gravina harmed himself whilst in prison. Despite surviving the ordeal, he died last month after spending 5 months in hospital.
Kyonne highlighted how he intends to keep moving forward, especially for his mother’s sake. Kyonne revealed that he was saddened but not surprised, and is now hoping to move on with his life.
Love Island Malta’s upcoming season offers Kyonne a platform to assert his individuality as the new season kicks off on Sunday.
