Are Tyler and Kay Still Together From Temptation Island?
No, Tyler and Kay are not together — and honestly, it sounds like they both knew it wasn't going to work before they even left the island. Tyler's actually dating someone named Lauren now, which he started pretty soon after getting back to Nashville (his friend introduced them, classic rebound timing if you ask me). The whole situation is kind of messy because Tyler technically chose to leave with Kay at that final bonfire, but they'd already had this conversation on their last date, where they basically admitted their lives didn't align.
Below is a post shared by tylerbreshears with his girlfriend:
Kay puts it pretty bluntly when she says, "I think he's such a good guy, but I don't think he's my guy" — ouch, but fair. She makes this interesting point about how the romantic island setting kind of manufactured their connection, suggesting they probably wouldn't have gotten together if they'd just met at a Nashville coffee shop or something.
Meanwhile, Tyler's had some awkward run-ins with his original partner Tayler, including a super uncomfortable Costco encounter where they just... didn't say anything to each other. Can you imagine? Just pretending someone you were with for years doesn't exist while you're both reaching for the same bulk paper towels.
He says Tayler even called him a couple of months later, asking why he wouldn't give their relationship another shot after she heard about Lauren, which must have been an uncomfortable conversation. Kay went back to her ex for a bit (we've all been there), but now she's casually seeing someone new.
She says the whole Temptation Island experience taught her to be more intentional about finding someone who shares her values, though I'm not sure going on a reality show designed to test relationships is the most conventional path to that revelation.
Tyler's apparently doing the whole modeling thing now and seems pretty happy with Lauren, crediting the show for helping him know himself better — which, sure, being filmed 24/7 while dating multiple people probably does teach you something about yourself, even if it's just that you never want to do reality TV again.
