Dara Levitan is confirming her split from KJ Dillard, and it sounds like the breakup is still very fresh.
The Summer House star opened up on the Thursday, June 18 episode of her Five More Minutes podcast, where she revealed that she is single after her romance with KJ came to an end.
“Do you want to know what’s setting me off? Well, I’m single,” Dara shared.
Dara made it clear that she was not ready to go into detail about the breakup just yet because the emotions are still too heavy.
“That’s all we’re going to say about it because I can’t do tears this morning, and there’s no way I’m talking about it without crying.”
Dara and KJ’s romance began in summer 2025 while filming Season 10 of Summer House. The pair met through mutual friend and castmate West Wilson, and viewers watched their connection develop throughout the season.
While Dara is newly single, she does not sound eager to jump back into dating right away.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve had any kind of casual hookup so let’s circle back in 90 days and see where we’re at to see if I’m talking to a man,” she said.
Dara then joked about her feelings toward men in general.
“I love them against my will, but I don’t like them.”
The breakup comes after viewers saw Dara and KJ navigate their relationship on Summer House, including some ups and downs after filming wrapped.
During a June 2 appearance on Carl Radke’s More Life With Carl Radke podcast, KJ revealed that he and Dara had taken a brief break after Season 10 finished filming while he was dealing with mental health struggles.
KJ shared that he was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder late last year after being hospitalized for self-harm.
That context made their relationship even more emotional for viewers, as KJ was open about trying to understand himself and his patterns while also navigating a new romance in the public eye.
Dara also had a standout moment during the Summer House reunion when she confronted West over his dating patterns and warned Amanda Batula about what she had seen from him. West later admitted that Dara’s comments stuck with him and that he thought about them “every f***ing day.”
Now, Dara is dealing with heartbreak of her own.
She did not share what led to the split from KJ, but her podcast comments made it clear that talking about it publicly is still painful.
