The 'Hills: New Beginnings' star admitted her two-month romance with the 'Wrecking Ball' singer - which ended in September 2019 - took her by surprise but she fell hard for her friend.

Speaking on the 'Scrubbing In' podcast, she said: “No one was more surprised that I was all of a sudden dating one of my girlfriends than I was...

“When I look back, I know that I had feelings for her that were maybe different from feelings I had for other friends. It was entirely unintentional, but I was very deeply in love with this person.”

After the pair split, Kaitlynn wrote an essay for Elle magazine, which helped her through the break-up and made her understand why heartbreak is said to inspire creativity.

She added: “All of a sudden all I wanted to do was create things. That Elle piece was one of those things that were super cathartic.”

opened up about h er past relationship with Miley Cyrus and revealed where she stands with ex Brody Jenner amid her new relationship with Kristopher Brock.

Kaitlynn's romance with Miley came after she split from Brody Jenner in 2019, a year after they had married in an unofficial ceremony in Bali.

And while she was initially "really excited" to shoot 'The Hills: New Beginnings' with Brody, she thinks the reality show ultimately highlighted the problems in their relationship before they split.

She said: "It was hard filming the first season because — there were so many difficult things going in our lives that everything stressed us out.

“We didn’t want to share all these heavy things with the world [but] they get everything out of you. No secret is safe.”

However, the 32-year-old star is grateful she and Brody have stayed friends.

She said: "I think the reason he and I ended up getting married in the first place was because we were always such good friends. And that is something we’ve been able to salvage through our split.”

Kaitlynn is now dating Kristopher Brock, who she described as the "gayest straight man" she knows and admitted things are "going very well" and they have "a lot of feminine things in common".

She added: "It’s the most seamless, chill relationship.

“I’ve never had a relationship that was just easy. I feel like he’s the first adult that I’ve ever dated.”
