Why did Kyle leave Below Deck?

The former British soldier, Kyle Dixon was involved in a relationship drama throughout season 4. Despite having a girlfriend, he tried to pursue his crew member Sierra Storm, which made him unlikable on screen.

During season 5, tensions rose between his cast mate Nico Scholly and EJ Jansen as Kyle's relationship with his fiancée, Ashley came to a messy end. At that time, he was also trying to initiate a romantic relationship with the mother of his children.

On a fan-run subreddit r/belowdeck, the show's fans discussed how Kyle's abusive behavior towards the rest of the cast was unacceptable. Reddit user u/CasualRedditer42 expressed their thoughts:

"His reaction to Sierra not liking him was totally toxic and aggressive. And he came back his second season and was like oh yeah that girl I proposed to last season and made a huge deal out of? Yeah we broke up and oh yeah I had another kid with someone else. He was funny on the show but it was clear that he was pretty impulsive and all over the place."

Kyle however has transformed since the Below Deck days, and seems to be focusing on his family and newly launched charter company. Being a dad of two girls Florence and Willow, Kyle seems to be loving fatherhood. He expressed as much when he took to Instagram to write a heartfelt post on Father's Day:

“So today is a day for all my Father Man Dem...!!! Never thought I'd be a Dad but here we are and I wouldn't trade these two for anything...!!! I know I slag people off for putting photos of their kids on social media but today is Fathers day so I'll give everyone a free pass...!!! Happy Fathers day everyone."

According to an announcement made by Bravo, Below Deck season 11 will premiere on February 5, 2024.
