Different Priorities and Life Styles
Insiders and fans of the couple have been suggesting for some time that they have had a conflict between the stability/settling down stage of life that Amanda is looking for, versus Kyle’s career (DJ) and active social life (going out late at night), which may have caused a long-term strain on their relationship.
