Since announcing his separation from Amanda Batula in early 2026, Kyle Cooke has been rumored to be linked to not one, but two Bravolebs: Southern Charm’s Salley Carson and The Real Housewives of Orange County alum Meghan King. Kyle addressed the dating speculations, and revealed what really happened, during Part 2 of the Summer House Season 10 reunion.
When reunion host Andy Cohen pressed Kyle on if he and Salley were “a thing,” or if they “hook[ed] up,” Kyle adamantly denied it—but was immediately corrected by Lindsay Hubbard and Ciara Miller.
“You made out on the night of the Summer House premiere,” Lindsay pointed out of the Feb. 2026 celebrations, while Amanda interjected the smooching session actually occurred “the night before” the premiere.
“When I found that out, I immediately called Amanda, and I told her that Kyle was making out with Salley, and I thought that that was crazy,” Ciara added during the June 2 episode. “I thought it was absurd. It’s insane.”
Kyle previously discussed if he’d had a romance with Salley during his March 10 appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen. “We were out with multiple friends, at a dive bar,” Kyle explained at the time. “This was not a date situation, just having fun. But, she’s a great girl.”
Kyle Cooke shares new details of his kiss with Meghan King
Soon after Amanda confirmed her relationship with Summer House co-star West Wilson, Kyle also made waves when he was photographed together in NYC with Meghan King. During the June 2 episode, Andy asked him to explain what happened, and if they’re still together now.
“Uh, well, I just met her. I didn’t know who she was. Introduced myself,” Kyle shared of his April 16 encounter with Meghan. “We ended up at a Page Six party, then an after party.”
Kyle admitted their public hang-out got a lot of attention. “I could kinda sense things, that people were looking at us, and I was like, ‘Let’s go across the street,’” he added, and then revealed how the photograph occurred.

“I thought I got far enough away. Clearly I didn’t,” he joked. “And she was like, ‘Listen, I know you’re going through a divorce.’ She kinda opened up to me about what she’s going through. I think that’s literally when I was like holding her shoulders. Gave her a kiss goodnight.”
Kyle confirmed to Andy that’s all that happened between the two, and they haven’t hung out since. He also spoke to content creator Adam Glyn about the hang-out during an interview in May.
“That was blown out of proportion,” Kyle said in a clip that was posted to TikTok. “She’s an amazing lady…we hung out the whole night.”
But, he added, “I was literally talking to her. It was almost like we were trauma bonding.”
Is Kyle Cooke dating anyone now?
During his May interview with Adam Glyn, Kyle confirmed he’s not in any relationship. “I’m still single,” he said, and added, “Just having fun.”
He previously shot down the rumor that he was linked to Next Gen NYC cast member Ava Dash, and called their winter meet-up “a very friendly dinner.”

“We were at a family dinner, doing a family blessing, holding hands, so I was holding her [hand],” Kyle explained during his March 10 WWHL appearance. “It was just a random drinking day in New York.” At that time, Kyle also revealed he was not yet dating anyone.
West and Kyle recently had a meet-up post-Summer House reunion, and West revealed what the two discussed.
