Something new and serious may be cooking in the Bravo universe. For the past few months, Kyle Cooke had been navigating the fallout from his split with his wife, Amanda Batula. And now, the Summer House star is making headlines for an entirely different reason. Multiple sources say that Kyle has been spending time with a Bravo co-star: Salley Carson from Southern Charm. Well, reports have it that things may be turning more serious than what initially looked like just another casual Bravo crossover moment.
Kyle Cooke confirms ‘hook-up’ rumours with Salley Carson
Recently, rumour has been rife that Kyle has been spending time with Salley, and they describe it as a casual hook-up. The buzz first gained traction during this week’s Summer House Season 10 reunion, when host Andy Cohen directly questioned Kyle about their connection. He directly asked the Loverboy Founder, “What’s up with you and Salley from Southern Charm? Is that a thing? Did you guys hook up?”
While Kyle initially tried to downplay things, his castmates weren’t having it. Lindsay Hubbard and Ciara Miller quickly called him out, revealing that he and Salley had made out around the time of the Summer House premiere back in February 2026. Ciara went on to say how she immediately called Kyle’s estranged wife, Amanda Batula. She said:
“When I found that out, I immediately called Amanda [Batula], and I told her that Kyle was making out with Salley, and I thought that that was crazy. I thought it was absurd.”
Kyle eventually admitted the kiss happened, although he clarified it took place the night before the event. Now, a June 6 report by Us Weekly confirmed that the pair has been “hooking up” and enjoying each other’s company. One insider reportedly told the outlet:
“It’s new and casual, but he’s really into her and they’ve been having fun. They’ve only hung out a few times but get along really well. They have a lot of chemistry.”
Kyle reportedly met Salley’s parents amid casual dating buzz
Contrary to earlier reports that the Bravo stars are casually seeing each other, new developments may suggest otherwise. Reports claim Kyle recently visited Charleston, where he allegedly met Salley’s parents. A now-viral social media post by DeuxMoi showed the couple leaving a restaurant, and the caption said:
“After initially downplaying his connection to ‘Southern Charm’ cast member Salley Carson, ‘Summer House’ star Kyle Cooke later admitted during Part 2 of the ‘Summer House’ reunion that the pair had made out the night before the Season 10 premiere party in February. Now, several sources allege the two are dating, and tell us Kyle recently traveled to Charleston to meet Salley’s parents.”
The two were also spotted together at a local bar alongside Southern Charm stars Craig Conover and Austen Kroll before leaving together. Well, you don’t introduce a partner to the parents unless things start getting serious, and fans agree. Of course, neither Kyle nor Salley has publicly confirmed they’re officially dating, but the timing has certainly raised eyebrows.
Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula’s divorce remains to be finalised amid new romances
Kyle Cooke’s romance buzz surfaced just two months after Amanda Batula confirmed she had moved on with West Wilson, Kyle’s former close friend and fellow Summer House castmate. The pair had been married for four years, and on January 19, 2026, they announced their separation in a joint statement. While both have publicly maintained that the split was amicable, their post-breakup dating lives have become a major talking point among Bravo fans, especially after Amanda made her new romance with West public. Meanwhile, her divorce from Kyle remains to be confirmed.
