What Went Wrong Between Tyler Stanaland and Brittany Snow?

While the two haven’t shared the details of their split, fans have speculated that issues between them arose following the Selling the OC drama regarding Tyler and his costar Kayla Cardona. During the Netflix reality series’ first season, it was revealed that Kayla had attempted to kiss Tyler during a druken night out. However, he didn’t reciprocate. Despite the awkwardness between them, the coworkers sat down on camera and cleared the air.

“Obviously, it was just a wild night and nothing happened, but it was enough that it made me feel uncomfortable and it wasn’t the first time. I think we’ve all gone out and had that kind of experience,” the former surfer said, in part. “So, moving forward I need to make sure that there are boundaries in our relationship — both personally and professionally.”

Just hours after the split announcement, Tyler was spotted with another controversial costar, Alex Hall, according to TMZ. An eyewitness told the publication that the pair “seemed more than friendly” as they dined in Corona Del Mar, California, alongside with fellow costar, Polly Brindle. The source added that the two ended the night “strolling down the street, side by side.”
