Kyle Cooke Addresses “Unfortunate” Conclusion to Summer House Reunion

by

Summer House‘s season 10 reunion left Kyle Cooke with more questions than answers.

Despite having the chance to question his estranged wife, Amanda Batula, and former best friend, West Wilson, about their relationship, the founder of Loverboy admitted the group remains deeply divided after spending a full day discussing their issues.

Kyle explained to TopMob News that reunions are usually about finding closure and repairing relationships. He said it was disappointing when they didn’t achieve that, as everyone understood going in that not all issues would be resolved. He shared this at Vulture’s first Reality Masterminds Celebration in New York City on May 7th.

Viewers will soon find out how the cast reacted during their reunion, which will be shown in a three-part special later this month. But the reality star himself had a straightforward response to how he was feeling throughout the day.

“So, it was a weird thing to walk into,” the 43-year-old added, “and it was a weird day.”

When West and Amanda publicly started dating in March, it caused problems with Amanda’s close friend, Ciara Miller, who had previously been with West. This has also changed the relationships between the men on Summer House.

Kyle said things were going really well with his friends before the scandal. Their group chat, which they used to be very active in, has been quiet for over a month, and they’re concerned this will damage their friendships.

Amanda and West are still happily together, but Kyle has recently been linked to Meghan King after they were seen kissing last month. They had just met at the time, according to Kyle.

He confirmed he is currently dating someone after ending his relationship with Amanda in January, but described any public displays of affection with the Real Housewives of Orange County star as “very innocent.”

He does want to clarify one thing from that night: the rumors about how tall he is.

Everyone’s been talking about those pictures of us kissing, and honestly, I wasn’t trying to reach! I heard people saying I was on my tiptoes, but that’s just not true. She’s actually really tall – I think around six feet! It just looked that way because I was wearing super baggy pants that day. It was a funny optical illusion, that’s all!

As for how Kyle is trying to move on from the drama, self-care has become a priority.

I really make an effort to stay healthy – I exercise daily,” he explained. “People might think I’m always partying, but that’s not true. What you’re seeing now is just what I do during my time off.

See the drama continue to unfold when Summer House airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on Bravo.

Here’s an update on what’s happening with all of your favorite couples from Summer House, both old and new.

Status: Together

After years of friendship, Amanda and West began sparking romance rumors in 2026, and they later confirmed their feelings had grown into something more. This came at a complicated time, as Amanda’s close friend, Ciara Miller, had previously dated West for several months before their difficult breakup in 2023.

In a statement released in March 2026, the couple shared that their recent relationship was a complete surprise to both of them. They explained that it developed from a close, long-term friendship, and they wanted to handle it with sensitivity and thoughtfulness.

Status: Married 

The show likely changed locations this season because comedians Hannah and Des jokingly had sex in Kyle and Amanda’s bathroom, but at least Hannah and Des are still a couple.

The couple got married on the beach in 2022 after dating for two years, and they clearly enjoy each other’s company – they’re both comedians, after all!

Hannah shared with People magazine, shortly after getting engaged in 2021, that they have a wonderful connection. “He accepts me for who I am, and we share a lot of laughs,” she said. “We both make each other laugh.”

She explained that she was captivated by his way of thinking, deeply valued his advice, and held him in high regard.

Status: Separated

Everyone who watched Summer House was hoping this couple would last, but sadly, they announced their split in January 2026. They had been married for four years and together for almost ten.

Kyle admitted that nothing could truly prepare her for a very public split. Speaking at a Bravo event, she emphasized that Amanda’s well-being was her priority, and she was incredibly grateful for Amanda’s support during a difficult time, as it hadn’t been easy.

Although they haven’t officially divorced, Amanda revealed she was starting a relationship with West in March 2026.

Status: Broken Up 

West and Ciara’s relationship has been rocky since it began in 2022, but it appears to be over for good this time. West recently confirmed he is dating Amanda, who is also a close friend of Ciara, in March 2026.

Although West and Ciara announced their split before the start of Summer House season 10 in February 2026, Ciara hinted they might have been trying to reconcile. In episode seven, she admitted there was still some “attraction” between them.

Status: Broken Up

After starting their relationship in 2021, this couple from Southern Charm and Summer House broke up in 2024.

In 2024, during an appearance on Giggly Squad, Paige shared her deep admiration for Craig, calling him one of the greatest people she’s ever known. She expressed unwavering support for his success, believing he deserves all good things and is truly exceptional.

She explained the breakup by saying it was the best choice for both of them, allowing them to pursue their individual paths without forcing a connection that wasn’t working.

Status: Broken up 

This relationship perfectly embodies both the highs and lows of modern dating. Their on-again, off-again dynamic was a major focus of season four, but it almost caused chaos the following summer. It’s amazing to think they were once considered a potential ‘couple goals’ back in 2020.

Luckily, Des reached out to Hannah through social media in 2020. Later, Luke briefly dated Ciara and then Tayshia Adams, but they broke up in 2025.

Status: Broken up 

Carl Radke has repeatedly made poor choices, and many of them happened while he was involved with one of the Wirkus sisters. She wanted a committed relationship, but he wasn’t looking for the same thing. It’s no surprise that being rejected by him, especially with her twin sister by her side, has made her very upset.

Although the pair permanently split in 2018, Carl accepted complete responsibility for what caused their breakup.

Looking back, I realize a lot of it was just me being young and not handling things well. Honestly, I really struggled to communicate with her and tell her how I was truly feeling. It was tough for me to be open and honest about my emotions back then.

Status: Friends

Lindsay and Everett were one of the original couples on Summer House, starting their relationship when the show began in 2017. They deserve credit for successfully remaining friends despite a difficult breakup.

Everett married Courtney Cavanagh in 2023. Surprisingly, his ex-wife, Lindsay, attended the wedding, which took place in Ireland, suggesting they remain on good terms.

Status: Friends 

Looking back at 2021, it was awkward to see how things unfolded between Ciara and Luke. Despite a short-lived romance, they eventually became friends—though their relationship was a bit tense—and that’s how Ciara joined the cast of Summer House.

Ciara and West had a complicated relationship that lasted until 2026, when they finally ended things.

Status: Broken Up 

Okay, so I was totally following Paige when things with her boyfriend started fizzling out in 2020 – he never wanted to be on camera, which was so weird! Then, a year later, she started dating Craig Conover, and I was SO excited… but sadly, it didn’t last. They broke up in 2024, and honestly, I’m still a little heartbroken about it!

Perry, meanwhile, appeared to have gotten engaged in 2023, according to his Instagram. 

Status: Broken Up

Though there was some initial flirting on the show Summer House, they remained friends until revealing their feelings for each other at Kyle and Amanda’s wedding in 2021, which led to a fast-moving relationship.

Carl and Lindsay reunited and moved in together by 2022, and he proposed to her later that year. However, despite setting a wedding date for 2023, they ultimately called off their plans and did not get married.

I was totally shocked,” Lindsay shared with US Weekly. “He turned my life upside down. I was a mess – crying and furious – and I had to heal and accept what happened myself. But now, I finally feel good about moving forward.”

Lindsay announced she was expecting a baby several months after ending her relationship. In 2024, she welcomed her daughter, Gemma, with her then-boyfriend, Tanner Kufe.

Status: Broken Up 

This couple was a favorite among Summer House viewers and seemed to have a healthy relationship, but they broke up in 2023. At first, Danielle stated the split was friendly, but she changed her tune when she saw how quickly Robert started dating someone else.

Danielle revealed in 2023 to The Daily Dish that her ex is now with a coworker – the same person she’d previously mentioned during their breakup, only to be told she was imagining things. She added with a knowing tone, “Women’s intuition is usually right.”

Status: Friends

Their relationship in 2018 was very short-lived, it’s hard to believe they were ever together. Although there was some drama when they dated, they ended things amicably—Carl even expressed sadness when Paige left Summer House in 2025.

Carl shared with TopMob News that he loved Paige and was disappointed she couldn’t participate, but he understood she had a busy summer.

Status: Broken Up

Their relationship was never meant to last – Lindsay was always the more dominant personality, and it seemed she’d move on long before Stravy could even make her a sandwich. Though they dated for about two years before breaking up in 2021, fans of Summer House will always remember Stravy’s memorable PowerPoint presentation from season five.
