Kyle From ‘Below Deck Med’ Would Love to Reconnect With Natalya – ‘She’s a Really Great Individual’

Has the iciness melted a little between Kyle Viljoen and Natayla Scudder from Below Deck Mediterranean? Despit the fallout seen on the latest Below Deck Med episode, Viljoen recently referrred to Scudder as a “really great individual” and hopes they can find their way back to each other someday.

Scudder blocked Viljoen on Instagram but admitted on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen that Viljoen is like a brother to her. Adding, “Some stuff went down … but we’ll see what happens. But I get over things really quickly and so does he. So I’m sure if we saw each other in a bar we’d be like brother and sister again. But right now it’s a no (about connecting) for me.”

Viljoen somewhat echoed Scudder’s remarks but did one better and said he is open to reconnecting someday.

Kyle has hope for the future with Natayla after ‘Below Deck Med’

The two stews had a sarcastic snarky relationship, which went south when Scudder didn’t think Viljoen and chief stew Natasha Webb pulled their weight. Tensions flared when Scudder told Captain Sandy Yawn she was often doing all the work and Viljoen and Webb thought she was a snitch. Scudder’s relationship with the interior team continued to splinter as she carried the bulk of the grunt work alone.

Viljoen has come to terms that she’s blocked him on social media. “But I worked through that and we found a very common, meaningful space,” he said on the Above Deck podcast. “So we can be in the same room. We can say hi, hug… You know, I’m always open to becoming close again. And I hate that work got in between our friendship. But yes, I do have hope for the future. And genuinely, she’s such a fantastic hard worker. I love working next to her. So yes, I’m thankful for her and her friendship because it was so much fun.”

Kyle and Natalya used sarcasm to mask their feelings on ‘Below Deck Med’

Below Deck Med viewers watched as Scudder and Viljoen’s snarky relationship went from playfully sarcastic to being at odds with one another. He said they masked what they really wanted to say to one another through their spicy digs.

“It’s like everybody referred to me and her being a brother and sister relationship and I thought that was quite interesting because I never had a sister,” he said. “But anyway, we were kind of venting how we felt about one another through sarcasm.” He added, “And I really have no hard feelings. And we can hope we can just have that moment where we can get back together.”

Kyle says Natayla is a great individual and ‘she’s a feisty one’

Viljoen also admitted that watching the fallout and seeing Scudder talk about their relationship was too hard to see. “And you know what’s funny? If I’m being genuine, I did not even watch last night,” he said. “I think it’s too hard for me. I coming in with acceptance and stuff, but it’s really hard. You know, when you see someone, whether it’s a pet or a human or someone you really had a relationship with and you see them again. It brings up a lot of emotion.”

He also had nothing but caring words for Scudder. “She’s really a great individual. She’s a feisty one. She’s a rather extra headstrong, you know what I’m saying?” he remarked.
