Kayla and Brittany were a large part of each other's lives.
Kayla and Brittany were close friends, often vacationing together and constantly appearing on each other’s social media pages. After her split from Travis, Kayla remained friends with Brittany, even attending a surprise birthday party for her in August 2023.
She eventually had to unfollow Brittany.
Kayla eventually made the decision to unfollow Brittany and Patrick to protect her mental health, according to an interview with People in October 2023.
“I do think it’s important to publicly address this because I did publicly unfollow people,” she said. “The reality is I know these people in real life. And so, in real life, I’ve communicated to these people why I’ve had to publicly make the decisions that I made.
“That’s a lot of history and friendship there, that doesn’t change overnight,” she continued. “But publicly, because things are happening so quickly and so publicly, I have to protect myself. That’s really all that is. The love is still there.”
