Late-night outing and blunt admissions

The Episode 12 sneak peek captures a tense night out. Kyle says he feels more like himself while Amanda is absent.

He tells Ben Waddell he felt bad during the first weeks of the season. Ben responds with support and perspective.

Marital strain under the spotlight

Kyle and Amanda have discussed marital issues on the season. Early episodes highlight their ongoing struggles.

At the season premiere, Kyle said Amanda often makes him feel ignored. Amanda described her surprise at how difficult early family life has become.

Those tensions grew around Kyle’s late nights and DJ travel. In Episode 7, Amanda asked where she fits in amid his decisions.

Kyle defended touring as a DJ. He argued the gigs bring revenue and exposure for their business, Loverboy.

Mounting financial pressure at Loverboy

Kyle disclosed business troubles on-camera. In Episode 2 he told Carl Radke he had injected $500,000 into Loverboy.

He also said he had not taken a salary for about nine months. By Episode 8, he warned the company had roughly six months of runway.

Ben Waddell later laid out the loan details to Jesse Solomon and Ciara Miller. Ben said Kyle personally guaranteed a $4 million loan.

Ben added about $2.1 million remained on that loan. If Loverboy failed, Kyle could face severe personal financial consequences.
