Are Below Deck’s Barbie & Kyle still together? Season 11 romance explained
BravoKyle Stillie and Barbie Pascual had a boatmance on Below Deck Season 11, and their current relationship status was revealed on Watch What Happens Live.
Stew Barbie Pascual and deckhand Kyle Stillie had feelings for each other on Below Deck Season 11, and wanted to start a boatmance on the St. David.
However, Barbie was hesitant to move forward with the relationship because she was worried that her family would judge her for dating someone they might not approve of.
On Episode 12, she decided to sleep with Kyle, and even introduced the deckhand to her mom while she was talking to her on the phone. But were they able to continue their romance off-screen?
Are Barbie & Kyle still together?
During Barbie’s Watch What Happens Live appearance on May 13, host Andy Cohen asked if she’s still dating Kyle after the season’s filming.
Barbie confirmed that she and Kyle are not together, as they were too different to maintain a long-term relationship.
However, she stated that she enjoyed watching the Below Deck scene where Kyle said he was falling in love with her.
Fans rooted for them, and compared their boatmance to the real-life story of Titanic about star-crossed lovers who can’t be together.
Is Barbie from Below Deck dating anyone?
Also during her May appearance on Watch What Happens Live, Barbie revealed that she’s not single and moved on after her breakup with Kyle.
“No, I have a boyfriend,” she said. “Super in love, actually.”
Unlike Kyle, Barbie’s new boyfriend doesn’t work in yachting and meets all of her requirements for a potential partner.
“He’s Jewish, and he wears pants,” she joked, while throwing shade at Kyle for inappropriately lifting his kilt during a crew night out.
Kyle has also put himself out there and was spotted on a dating app after relocating to Minnesota.
Since it was reported that Barbie unfollowed Kyle on Instagram on April 29, fans had already assumed that their relationship didn’t last after the charter season.
On the Below Deck Season 11 finale, the stew was angry with Kyle for swimming in a pool naked in public, and stormed off the boat without ever speaking to the deckhand again.
Fans might be disappointed that Barbie and Kyle went their separate ways, but the crew members are finding their own happiness after being on the show.
