While her relationship with Cashel had its ups and downs, the two ultimately did not walk away together.
Could Kyra’s romantic life once again be up to the reality television gods?
The short answer is yes!
No matter what, I was like, “Okay, this is a cool experience.”
I can talk to them.
COVID presented us with such a socially isolating couple of years.
Talk a little bit about what it was like jumping back into such a social scene.
I lived with my siblings at the time.
I was with family and not dating or really interacting with anyone in general.
It was insane and jolting to be put back into that.
That was something that I hadn’t experienced in so long and my body and my soul needed it.
Exactly, and at that time, everyone was working from home.
It was such an amazing opportunity.
I know you’ve been exploring things with him.
I really went into it with zero clue.
Everyone was being hit with bombs.
It’s actually quite anxiety inducing.
It’s terrible, honestly.
At the same time, it’s dependent on the ex and who comes in.
It’s exciting too to have that open end of what if.

It was a very inclusive cast.
I can fully be myself here."
Being bi and whatnot, it’s been a journey for myself.
Were you still into it?"
I was like, “No, it wasn’t a turn off for me.”
That’s cool."
At the end of the day, we all just want to put our authentic selves out there.
So that’s really cool.
You mentioned it a little bit.
This time around, I’m way more myself and super chill.
On “Love Island,” it was very much my first show.
She’s being herself.
She’s being chill and doing her thing".
Viewers will surely resonate with that.
People will relate to [this newer format] a lot more in general.
I definitely didn’t do that in the most generic way.
I made my own decisions, but had these really high highs and low lows.
KIDZ BOP is literally the start of me being in this business.
It was so much fun because we were these little kids.
I was still popping up on Disney and the commercials and all that different stuff.
