Too Hot To Handle’s Kayla and Seb have split, and there are rumours he cheated with Micah?!

‘I found out I was single on my FYP’


Too Hot To Handle golden couple Kayla Richart and Seb Melrose have split up, and now there are all sorts of rumours and TikTok videos circulating about what has gone down between them.

Kayla and Seb found a connection during season four of the Netflix dating show, and were runners up together. In the show’s reunion, everyone was shook to find out they had since split because distance was too difficult for them – Kayla is from LA whilst Seb is from Glasgow. But the first breakup didn’t last very long and they quickly got back together. However now, it looks as though it’s all over for good.

Confirming the news, the former couple have since been making loads of TikToks about one another, with Seb addressing rumours their relationship ended because he had cheated with Love Is Blind cast member, Micah Lussier. He has denied this happened.

Posting on TikTok, Seb said he wanted to address some videos his “now ex girlfriend” had been making about him and said there was “confusion and concern about the current situation.”

He said he wanted to “set the record straight” and explain his side of the story, and said: “First of all, I just wanted to address the allegations that I’ve been cheating with Micah that are 100 per cent false. This did not happen.” He explained that around a month ago, he had a meeting with Micah’s management, and there was “interesting talk” about where Seb was going to be going in his career.

“I went back to Kayla, I let her know my plans and at first, she was very supportive of that,” Seb said. “But unfortunately, as New York Fashion Week grew closer, she got a bit less supportive to say the least. I was completely up front and honest with her from the start, that Micah and I would be working very closely during Fashion Week, but it was completely just work related.”

Seb then said “a few nasty and hurtful things” were said to him, as his “strictly platonic” relationship with Micah grew when they worked together. He said “the internet stirred shit” about them, when nothing has actually happened.

“I’m disappointed to see that Kayla, instead of reaching out to me to find out the truth, she decided to go straight to the internet and stir a lot of shit,” Seb said. Seb added he and Micah are “nothing but friends” which is “obvious to anyone who has been around us.” In the comments to the video, Seb said he “found out I was single on my FYP”.

Despite him defending himself, Kayla has said in a separate video her “now ex boyfriend decided to humiliate, disrespect and cross boundaries online, publicly for three days.” She said: “He started this so, I’m going to finish it.” Kayla claimed she tried to “voice her concerns privately to the people involved but was ignored.”

Alongside this video, Kayla has been posting lip-sync videos to audios that say “I was the best thing that ever happened to him.”
