“I know people are like, \u2018Why are you sticking up for her? Why are you defending her?’ I’m not. I’m just trying to be there for her,” Kyle, 43, said<\/a> on the Tuesday, May 19, episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen<\/em><\/a>. “No matter what, I still care for her. There’s still a lot of love. I spent literally 10 years [with her]. I’m not excusing her behavior.”<\/p>\n

“Even when the writing was on the wall, there’s still love,” added Kyle, who separated from Amanda, 34, in January after a decade together, including four years of marriage.<\/p>\n

In March, Amanda shockingly<\/a> revealed her burgeoning relationship with West, 31, who previously dated her best friend on Summer House<\/em>, Ciara Miller<\/strong>. The news caused a stir through the Summer House<\/em> cast and Bravo fans.<\/p>\n

Kyle’s Summer House<\/em> and In the City<\/em> costar Lindsay Hubbard<\/strong>, who was also a guest on Tuesday’s WWHL<\/em>, weighed in on Kyle’s support of his ex.<\/p>\n

“This is why I cried so much. I started realizing how much Kyle, even at this reunion \u2026 Kyle loves this girl so f***ing much. He loves her. It was so evident,” Lindsay, 39, said, referring to the tense Summer House<\/em> season 10 reunion<\/a> that filmed last month and saw the cast challenge Amanda and West about their relationship.<\/p>\n

On Monday, May 18, Kyle and Amanda appeared to put on a united front<\/a> at the New York City premiere of the Summer House<\/em> spinoff In the City<\/em>. However, after receiving criticism for posing for photos with his estranged wife, Kyle came to Amanda’s defense<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“You guys, yes, Amanda and I took a picture together,” Kyle said in a video posted to his Instagram Stories early Tuesday, May 19.<\/p>\n

He continued, “I was just happy that she showed up. She almost didn’t come to a show that she participated in. Shoot me. Shoot me. But don’t call my life, my relationship, my marriage, and my implosion of a marriage, fake.”<\/p>\n

“With all due respect, we’re all adults here and we all showed up to a premiere party,” Kyle said. “And, yes, Amanda did not want to come, and I convinced her to come and we took a photo together. Grow the f*** up.”<\/p>\n

Kyle and Amanda announced their separation<\/a> in a joint statement in January, which read, “After much reflection, we have mutually and amicably decided to part ways as a couple. We share this with a heavy heart and kindly ask for your grace and support while we focus on our personal growth and healing.”<\/p>\n

“It feels ironic to ask for privacy during this time. since we’ve always tried to be open and honest about our relationship, but your kindness and respect will go a long way as we try to navigate our next chapter,” they added.<\/p>\n
