Thus far on Temptation Island season 3, the fans have been hoping that Kendal Kirkland and Erica Washington will break up by the end of the show. However, that doesn’t stop viewers from being fascinated by the pair, and especially by the island’s resident troublemaker, Kendal. The newly-minted reality star hasn’t been entirely transparent about himself, but there are several important details that have been unearthed. His behavior on the show hints that he has an overinflated ego, but does Kendal have the credentials to back it up?
Kendal and Erica have been together for two years and decided to go onto Temptation Island as a last-ditch effort to salvage their relationship. The dynamic between the couple clearly causes some problems, as Erica seemingly gives her all to the relationship, but Kendal doesn’t appreciate her efforts. As a result, Kendal feels that Erica’s ambitions and life goals fall short of his own. Once the pair separated into different villas on the show, Kendal wasted no time before getting physical with the single women, especially Alexcys Homan.
On Instagram as @kenkirk, Kendal Kirkland is very active on social media and has now directly addressed his behavior on the show a few times. Kendal is 26 years old and grew up in San Diego, California. According to his IMDB biography, Kendal is 6’ 3” tall and was originally interested in playing basketball before switching tracks and following his passion for acting and modeling. Kendal says that he has been featured in several runway shows and films, but his filmography lists just five credits between the years 2013 and 2015, including a role as Restaurant Patron #2 in the short film Gilf.
It appears that Kendal’s modeling and acting career didn’t pan out as he started to pursue other professional opportunities while he has been together with Erica. According to his LinkedIn page, Kendal graduated from San Diego State University with a degree in public administration. Only two positions are listed under his work experience, and they are both entrepreneurial efforts. In addition, his alleged salary from Temptation Island is mostly estimated to be between $8,000 and $12,000 for the entire season. According to Stars Offline, Kendal’s net worth is under $200,000.
The fans have serious doubts about whether Kendal and Erica will leave Temptation Island together. Overall, it seems that Kendal thinks very highly of himself, and it would be hard for any woman to live up to that in his eyes. That, combined with his problematic behavior, has a few fans thinking that Erica might be in trouble.
