"We were happy, we always had a good time together," Kayla told RadarOnline. "We didn't fight, we still acted like best friends."

Kayla claimed, however, she "always did way more for him" than he did for her.
"Deep down, I think he is a good person, but he's just lost," Kayla explained to the website.
"He was just moving on his own motives and I had mine as well. We're different people, who value different things."
"He's a mess," she added. "I wish him peace."
Jay's estranged wife Ashley Martson recently told Us Weekly that Jay and Kayla began dating in January 2019 to the best of her knowledge.
Kayla had started a GoFundMe account to allegedly raise money for an immigration attorney to get Jay out of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody following his detainment in early July and later attended a subsequent court hearing to support him.
Although Kayla had claimed she was only a "close friend" when she created the GoFundMe account, she dropped all pretext that she and Jay were not romantically involved when he was eventually released from ICE custody on July 31.
"My f-cking baby. so happy, so grateful," she captioned an Instagram video showing her running up to Jay and jumping into his arms and straddling him upon his release.

RELATED LINK: '90 DAY FIANCE' COUPLES NOWRumors swirled last month that Kayla was pregnant with Jay's child, but breakup rumors followed shortly afterwards.
Some fans have read into the timing of Kayla and Jay's split considering Jay and his ex, Ashley Martson, were reportedly spotted at the same event in Pennsylvania over the weekend.
"God help him if he's messing with Ashley again," Kayla told RadarOnline.
"All I can think of is all the hard work to reverse the damage. There's a current PFA. If she turns on him again he's so f-cked. I don't know why he would put himself in that position... I feel sorry for him."
When asked if she believes Jay was still seeing Ashley during their relationship, she responded, "He was loyal for a period and good to me for a period, but that's all I want to say."
Ashley filed for divorce from Jay for the second time on April 23, however the couple's split has not yet been finalized.
The divorce filing claims that Jay -- whose formal name is Conroy and is referred to as such in the filing -- committed adultery during the course of their 11-month marriage.
Jay admitted on the Tell-All special of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?'s fourth season he had cheated on Ashley with two women, but rumors circulated for months prior about his alleged numerous affairs and flings.

According to Ashley, Jay moved out of her Pennsylvania home in late May and was arrested by local police in early July for violating a protective order she had obtained against him.
Ashley claimed in an interview with Celebuzz that Jay's detainment was the result of a break-in and subsequent rant on social media.
Ashley alleged that Jay broke into her home while she was away on a highly-publicized vacation in late June.
Once Ashley returned home from her week-long cruise to the Bahamas, she reportedly called the police and was instructed to file a Protection From Abuse order, which she followed through with on July 1.
Jay was not allowed to talk about the PFA or Ashley at all on social-media platforms, but he ended up going on social media the very next day and posting a long profanity-laced rant.
Ashley then notified the police, who issued an arrest warrant for Jay after they investigated his social media postings and determined he had violated the order.
Jay was then taken into custody by Upper Allen Township police without incident on July 3.
Jay was reportedly released without bail by the court after his arrest, but since ICE also had an active warrant for Jay's arrest due to his immigration status, he was handed over to the federal agency, who subsequently transferred him to York County Prison in Pennsylvania.

According to Ashley, Jay's arrest on the PFA violation had merely accelerated his detainment by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, as they had allegedly already been planning to detain Jay on July 8 due to his outstanding warrant.
Ashley told Celebuzz that ICE had been looking for Jay since June 28 since he's been living in the United States illegally since she withdrew his adjustment of status paperwork earlier this year.
Jay's PFA violation hearing took place on July 17.

However, since Jay was already being detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement pending his deportation hearing, he was instead returned to federal custody where he remained until his release on bail on July 31.
Jay's boss Daryl Bingaman -- who goes by the name "Ego" and is the owner of Ego Ink tattoo shop in Lemoyne, PA -- posted his $4,500 bail.
Kayla seemingly believes she has dodged a bullet by no longer being with Jay.
"I am proud of myself to have loved him and done what I did for him," Kayla told RadarOnline of her support during his legal troubles.
"Regardless of if he appreciates it now or not... he needed me and I will always be that person. Anyone I love will have unconditional love and support and he can't take that from me."
Ashley and Jay, who married in 2018, began starring on Season 6 of TLC's 90 Day Fiance before appearing on 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?.
