Emma Kenney from The Conners and Boyfriend Conrad Hilton Appear on Beyond the Villa

The Conners fans were surprised by a glimpse into Emma Kenney‘s relationship with boyfriend Conrad Hilton during a recent episode of Love Island USA‘s spinoff, Beyond the Villa.

In the Thursday, July 31 episode of the Peacock series, JaNa Craig and Kenny Rodriguez took a significant step in their relationship by fostering a dog together. They partnered with the foster-based rescue Yogi’s House, co-founded by Kenney and Nicola Peltz-Beckham.

Kenney, 25, met the reality stars at the park while accompanied by their dog, Juan — and Hilton, 30, was with her. She previously shared with Us Weekly her experiences with Yogi’s House alongside Hilton, who serves as an adoption outreach coordinator.

“My boyfriend and I have always loved animals. That’s a passion we discovered when we first started dating,” she remarked in March. “When I initiated Yogi’s House, he was eager to join in, and I truly appreciate his support.”

Kenney expressed gratitude for Hilton’s contributions. “He is incredibly hands-on and consistently assists me when I’m on the phone with veterinarians, day in and day out. He never seems bothered by it and always offers his insights,” she explained after going public with their relationship in December 2024. “It’s genuinely special to share this journey with him.”

During this time, Kenney also discussed her collaboration with Peltz-Beckham, 30. “We are both deeply passionate about dog rescue, which is how our friendship began and the foundation of Yogi’s House,” she noted. “I’m immensely grateful to be doing this alongside a partner; it’s truly a dream fulfilled.”

Kenney started her career as a child actor in shows like Shameless and The Conners. Since then, she’s utilized her platform to advocate for causes close to her heart.

“I dedicate at least half my day to Yogi’s House,” Kenney told Us. “I genuinely feel like I’m earning a veterinary degree at this point because I interact with the foster vets daily. It’s fascinating and I’m eager to learn more about the medical aspects of dog care.”

She added, “Every day presents new challenges. I engage with many individuals every single day and foster wonderful relationships within this amazing community. We wouldn’t be able to manage rescue operations without our fosters, so I’m deeply thankful for every volunteer we collaborate with.”

Kenney takes immense pride in Yogi’s House, stating, “From a young age, I’ve been keenly interested in animal rescue and always envisioned running a dog rescue myself one day. To see that dream come to life and be part of it every single day is just incredible.”
