“My biggest fear is losing you,” Amanda, 34, told Kyle, 43, on the Tuesday, June 9, episode of the Bravo series. And that’s scary. And it worries me how badly I want it to work.
Amanda’s honesty about her feelings for Kyle, whom she married in September 2021, came out during her conversation with Kyle about moving out of their New York City apartment.
“Do you feel like you love me?” Kyle asked as the pair ate lunch together in October 2025. Amanda didn’t hesitate, answering, “Yeah, that’s why I’m doing this. Do you still love me?”
“Yeah, I love you,” Kyle said. Amanda was distracted and asked again, “Do you still love me?”
Kyle started laughing because of the way Amanda was looking at him from across the table. “Of course. Stop! I love you,” he responded.
Amanda also kept giggling and pointed at him, “I’m scared and I want you to treat me like that.”

Amanda explained that while they were living apart, she wanted to feel like Kyle was “doing everything he could to fight for this relationship and that he didn’t want to lose me.”
“Okay,” Kyle replied.
Earlier in their conversation, Amanda confirmed that she had gotten the keys to her new apartment — a furnished place with a yearly lease versus the month-to-month setup she had originally set — and would be moving in that week.
“This was not an easy decision for me,” Amanda told Kyle. “The reason I feel that I can deal with it is because I hope that this step will change our relationship.”
When Kyle asked if she was going to get the key, Amanda said “no,” but reminded him that she would be keeping her keys at their place.
“You told the front desk that you would see me, then you go to the elevator and push me down and you just go up, you don’t need the keys,” explained Amanda.
Kyle called the situation “uncharted territory,” wondering if Amanda would show him “heads” when she came. He agreed, saying he would send a message before passing.

“Talk to me as if we are making decisions together, not that you have already made a decision,” she said. “That’s all I’m saying.”
Amanda nodded in agreement, and told him, “It’s okay. You’re not married. I’m single,” again explaining their new roles living apart.
“I know, I still have my wedding ring on,” Kyle said before noticing that Amanda wasn’t wearing hers. “What is that s***?”
Amanda laughed, and said, “I have no jewelry!
Kyle and Amanda later explained their guidelines for living apart while still hanging out together, and Amanda said, “I feel like we should be at each other’s place at least twice a week.”

Kyle was in complete agreement.

“The strategy is still the same. To try to communicate again. We don’t date other people. We don’t see other people,” insisted Amanda. “This is to create space to really try to fall in love again. In my delusional little mind I think this could really work.”

“Was there any physical activity? I don’t care if there was anything emotional, because right now that depends. Have you ever met 2025?” Kyle asked West and Amanda during part 3 Summer House reunion, aired on Tuesday, trying to get clarity on their timeline.
West responded, “No, f*** no.”
