Relationships should be fun.
Summer House star Dara Levitan has confirmed that she and co-star K.J. Dillard have broken up after dating for about a year.
“You want to know what’s bugging me? Well, I’m single,” the 33-year-old began on Thursday’s “Five More Minutes” podcast. “That’s all I’m going to talk about about this because I can’t stop crying this morning. I can’t talk about this without crying.”
Levitan co-host Carly Rivlin and guest skin care expert Sean Garrett also talked about dating on the show, with the reality star confessing that she has no idea what she’s doing when it comes to men and relationships.

The three discussed whether or not to wear makeup, to which Levitan teased, “It’s been a while since I’ve had a casual relationship, so let’s come back in 90 days and see how things are going and see if I’m talking to a guy.”
The influencer quipped, “I love them against my will, but I don’t like them.”
Levitan and Dillard, 28, first started dating last summer while filming Season 10 of Bravo.
The ex-lovers connected through mutual friend and former co-star West Wilson.
Earlier this month, Jesse Solomon revealed that his castmates had parted ways during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live.
“Last I heard, they broke up. I’m sorry if I didn’t announce it publicly,” the 33-year-old singer said.
Earlier this month, Dillard opened up about how her own mental health struggles affected Levitan during their relationship.
The Bravo star confessed on Karl Radke’s More Life with Karl Radke podcast that he was in a “terrible place” financially when he first joined the reality show.
“Dara and I were having a hard time because I was projecting my pain onto her, and I didn’t realize it,” Dillard said.
Unknown to the model at the time, he was battling undiagnosed borderline personality disorder.
Levitan ended the relationship “because he had to,” as Dillard hit “rock bottom.”
Eventually, Dillard entered treatment for self-inflicted injuries and the duo broke up.
In the podcast, Dillard said that he and Levitan are still together.
“We do a good job of not letting[the world]tear us apart. Of course it affects us individually, but in the relationship, we both know what we want and what we’ve been through together.”
Dillard also said of her relationship with Levitan, “It’s a bit of a love story.”
Later, the artist released a music video for his song “My Lil Thing”, in which he rapped about his relationship with Levitan, who also appeared in the video.
Despite the song, fans began speculating that the pair had broken up after they unfollowed each other and deleted photos of them together from their Instagram feeds.
