Overall, Kayle sees a large worsening in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Kennen. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN.

This may demonstrate that Kennen provides protection for her to deal more damage or that his participation also helps increase the game's duration. Similarly, when Kayle is played alongside Kennen on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when she plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing with Kennen.
Additionally, when Kayle plays with Kennen on the same side, she typically takes a little more damage than when she fights alone. Taking more damage could mean that Kennen does a poor job of covering Kayle in team fights.

By being on the same side as Kayle, he decreases their win rate by -9.6% to 40.0%. This clearly indicates that there is an easy to overcome and exploit bond between Kayle and Kennen that allows them to perform not as well together than alone.
Kennen has a much lower diffuclty than Kayle. That means Kayle players don't need to be cautious when lining up Kennen comrades to fight alongside, as they will require a much lower level of skill to cooperate well with you.
When playing on the same side, Kayle players will likely observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal magic damage. When paired, these two can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.
In contrast, by grouping Kayle and Kennen together, you probably will not be giving your team a lot of protection for burst damage. Plan to bring other champs on your team that offsets this relative hole in this pairing's abilities.
Regardless of your Kennen ally's skill level, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well, regardless.
