‘Summer House’: Are KJ Dillard & Dara Levitan Still Together After Summer Romance?
Amanda Batula and Kyle Cooke‘s relationship is falling apart on Season 10 of Summer House, but amid their issues, a new romance is blossoming. Since the March 3 episode, sparks have been flying between newbies KJ Dillard and Dara Levitan.
Things are progressing quickly between the two. In fact, Dara isn’t even part of the share house with KJ and his castmates, but she’s listed as a main cast member on Season 10, so it appears we’ll be seeing a lot more of her as the season continues.
Of course, this was filmed months ago during summer 2025, and we’ve seen many Summer House romances fall apart when the stars got back to living in the city full-time after summer. So, where do KJ and Dara stand now? Scroll down for everything we know.
Are KJ Dillard and Dara Levitan still together?
Yes, KJ and Dara still appear to be going strong. On March 5, they attended the premiere of Ted Season 2 together in New York City, even posing for a photo on the red carpet.
The pair also looked quite cozy in a photo from a dump Dara posted on Instagram on March 15. “Joy has a habit of returning :),” she captioned the collection of images.

Since Season 10 of Summer House is still airing, the two have played coy about their relationship status in interviews, though. “Listen, I’m not one to ruin the fun and spoil the end of a movie or anything of that nature, but I will say he’s wonderful and there is nothing close to bad feelings,” Dara told Page Six.
KJ also told Swooon that he and Dara are on “great terms,” and teased of their summer romance, “We’re definitely into each other and I stopped trying to be one of the boys [when we started hanging out].”
How did KJ Dillard and Dara Levitan meet?
KJ and Dara met through fellow Summer House cast member West Wilson. West knew both of them before the show, which is how KJ became part of the group that heads to the Hamptons every weekend in July and August.
However, Dara wasn’t introduced until West threw a singles’ party in New York City with the hopes of finding Ben Waddell a “missus.” He invited Dara to the event, and she briefly met KJ at the end of the night.
Days later, the cast threw a Renaissance-themed party at their Hamptons house, and West invited Dara to attend. Although she had to re-introduce herself to KJ because he didn’t remember who she was at first, they eventually hit it off and went on their first date to a concert later that week.
“I look back at that clip and I’m like … what state of mind was I in?” KJ told Swooon. “I mean, probably had a few Loverboys at that point, but I still can’t believe I didn’t remember her.”
Did Dara Levitan date West Wilson?
Yes, Dara and West dated for about six months beginning in the fall of 2022. They met on a dating app and had a mostly casual relationship. After ending their romance, they stayed friends.
While appearing on the We Met at Acme podcast, Dara called the relationship “deeply unserious” and said she and West were just enjoying their lives in New York City. “His and my relationship is the first one I had that lasted more than even like two dates after I’d gotten out of my last relationship the year before,” Dara explained. “I really cherish the time we spent because it gave me a safe enough place, you know, dating someone that to remind myself that not all guys are narcissists and going to do you unbelievably dirty.”
Because things never got too serious between them, there was no “heartbreak” when it ended. “It was just sort of that perfect, fun, easy blip after you’ve been wrecked to get back on your feet in dating,” she shared.
West also appears to be totally cool with Dara now dating one of his friends. “It was a long time ago. She’s a good friend [of mine],” he told Us Weekly. “I would never bring anyone into the house that I thought would give me more problems. We’re very cool and platonic.”
