Despite her disappointment over Zach's rejection, Kylee expressed to the Charlotte Observer that she harbors "no animosity" toward him. "I simply believe that in the grand scheme of things, he was not meant to be my partner. And that's perfectly fine. It doesn't imply that he doesn't deserve a happy ending," Kylee articulated to the publication in March 2023.
In week four, Kylee interrupted a conversation between Zach and contestant Anastasia Keramidas. When Anastasia requested a few more minutes, Kylee responded, "Please let me have him. I want to avoid conflict." Subsequently, Anastasia expressed to the camera that Kylee's remark about fighting was excessive.
After the incident, Kylee alleged to Zach that Anastasia joined the show to enhance her social media presence. As a result, Zach promptly eliminated Anastasia from the ABC series.
Drama heightened during the “Women Tell All” episode when contestant Genevie Mayo confronted Anastasia for making microaggressions towards Kylee.
Kylee, in an interview with the Charlotte Observer in March 2023, expressed her disbelief at ever causing harm to someone, either physically or emotionally. She was hurt by Anastasia's immediate jump to that conclusion and wondered why. Genevie, on the other hand, made a valid point and helped Anastasia understand that her words may have unknowingly showcased unconscious bias.

According to herABC bio, Kylee expresses a strong desire to assist and support new mothers and eagerly anticipates becoming a mother herself as soon as possible. Additionally, this reality star tends to develop deep and quick emotional attachments and is prepared to embrace the fulfilling role of a soccer mom.
