Are KJ & Dara From Summer House Still Together? Her Posts Have Been Very Telling…
Summer House stars have a history of dating each other, but it hasn’t worked out for many of them. Lindsay Hubbard and Carl Radke were engaged but called it quits just a few months before their 2023 wedding, and Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula were married for over four years before separating in January 2026.
That said, it doesn’t necessarily mean future Summer House couples will end up the same way. In fact, Season 10 newcomers KJ Dillard and Dara Levitan seemed to be pretty smitten with each other on the show. Did they take their on-screen flirtation into the real world and pursue a relationship? Here’s what we know, including if they are still together.
Are KJ & Dara from Summer House still together?
As of this writing, it appears KJ and Dara are still together. On April 22, 2026, Dara—who previously dated West Wilson—posted a sweet polaroid of the two on Instagram and revealed in the caption that she “keeps this photo on her fridge.”
The Summer House newbies announced their relationship in March 2026, when they appeared on Watch What Happens Live and KJ told host Andy Cohen that things between them were “lovely.” He also revealed that he and Dara aren’t shy about expressing their love for each other, admitting, “I love her. I do.”

That same month, KJ confirmed to Us Weekly that he’s dating Dara. “That’s my girlfriend,” he told the outlet at the Reality TV Greats dinner on Wednesday, March 18. “We’re boyfriend and girlfriend. I love her tremendously. She’s the best. I wish she was here right now.”
He continued gushing about Dara, saying they are good together because they’re “very similar, but also very different.”
“She has a completely different upbringing than I do, which I’m attracted to, but emotionally we’re very similar, and I love that about her,” he explained, adding that Dara is “mature, she’s strong, she’s beautiful and … puts me in check.”
Still, some of KJ’s Summer House co-stars have doubts about Dara. In the April 21, 2026 episode, Ciara Miller and Mia Calabrese warned him that they think things between him and Dara are moving “a little fast.”
“I’m telling you, from someone who’s done multiple share houses, obviously I’m speaking from bad experience, but like, no one’s going anywhere,” Ciara told him. “So like, no need to rush the process. I understand this is how you feel.”
Mia added, “You’re a little younger than her, and I just want to make sure you guys are in line with what you want, what she wants, and being aware of the reality.”
