“If I met the girl of my dreams two months after announcing our split, I don’t think she would take me seriously if I didn’t go out there and have my fun,” he said. “I was living in a very unhappy relationship where there was no intimacy and so on and so forth, and I’m happy to be out of that, and I think I needed to have a time where I’m traveling, DJing, filming.”
But that hasn’t stopped him from dating people and pursuing new relationships. “I haven’t given myself a criteria where like, ‘Oh, you’ve got to be single for a year before you let yourself catch feelings.’ I’ve already caught feelings. I’m trying to figure that all out, so,” he said.

The DJ was asked during the Bravo Rewind panel at Bravo Fan Fest 2026 if he’s watched Summer House Season 10 for clues as to when her relationship started with her boyfriend, West Wilson. While Kyle admitted that he’s never done a “rewind or rewatch” of Summer House, he has seen Amanda’s recent posts on Instagram with West.
“I’m trying to compartmentalize all that stuff, you know? It’s a little jarring when I see them do a photo dump, I’m not gonna lie,” he said. “I want her to be happy, but it’s a weird thing when it’s your ex with your friend.”
