Reflecting on their time together, she said, I adored Kyle but we didn’t continue after our time on the series

Both have moved on from the yacht life: Kyle is back in Scotland and active on social media, while Barbie is focusing on her new relationship. Though their boatmance was short-lived, it provided an intriguing subplot for viewers throughout the season.
