Kyle Cooke Confirms Hookup With Southern Charm’s Salley Carson

by

Kyle Cooke is kissing and finally telling.

During the second part of the Summer House season 10 reunion, Kyle was put on the spot to talk about his difficult divorce from Amanda Batula. The conversation was especially complicated because Amanda is now dating West Wilson, who used to be one of Kyle’s closest friends.

Amanda stated that her husband’s frequent partying and recent pursuit of a career as a DJ led to the end of their four-year marriage, which was finalized in January. She also mentioned some behaviors she considered unacceptable.

She explained on the June 2nd episode that she’d received a lot of rumors and direct messages over the years.

Okay, so things got real on the show when Andy Cohen turned to Kyle and asked the question everyone was thinking: “Throughout your marriage to Amanda, have you always been faithful?” It was a pretty direct question, and honestly, a tough one to answer!

Kyle’s answer?

The founder of Loverboy admitted to occasionally behaving badly when he was out. He clarified that he never cheated or slept with anyone else, but he did acknowledge times when he felt neglected and, as a result, acted inappropriately.

In other words, Amanda insisted, “He has stepped out of the marriage while we were together.”

She explained that after they got married, he asked a woman at a party if he could kiss her and became intimate with her. This woman then contacted her privately, and that was what bothered her about him going out and putting himself in such situations.

Honestly, Kyle kept saying nothing romantic happened, and he explained his actions by pointing to how miserable his marriage was. He basically blamed the unhappiness at home for why he looked elsewhere.

While Kyle hasn’t publicly confirmed any romantic involvement with the unknown woman, he did admit to a casual encounter with Salley Carson from Southern Charm.

Lindsay Hubbard interrupted, reminding him, “You kissed someone the night the new season of Summer House aired—don’t deny it.”

I’ve been following this whole situation closely, and Kyle finally set the record straight – the PDA issue actually happened the night before the big February 2026 launch party. It’s also interesting to hear from Ciara Miller, Amanda’s former best friend (and someone who used to date West), who said she was there for Amanda back then, before they had their falling out earlier this year.

Ciara explained that as soon as she learned Kyle was kissing Salley, she called Amanda to tell her. She thought it was unbelievable and completely crazy, adding that she was showing Amanda just how good of a friend she had been.

See the bombshell romance revelations continue when the Summer House reunion concludes June 9 on Bravo.

In the meantime, keep reading for a status check on more beloved Summer House couples.

Status: Together

After the longtime friends sparked romance rumors in 2026, they ultimately confirmed their feelings had “evolved.” The confirmation proved especially messy, given Amanda’s best friend Ciara Miller dated west for several months before a messy 2023 breakup. 

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 their connection blossomed from a close, long-term friendship, and they wanted to handle the situation with sensitivity.

Status: Married 

Okay, so the show had to relocate this season, apparently because Hannah and Des thought it’d be hilarious to, uh, get intimate in Kyle and Amanda’s bathroom. Seriously! But honestly, I’m just glad those two are still going strong. They’re my favorite couple, and I’d be devastated if they broke up over something silly like…location changes!

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, so there’s always laughter!

Hannah shared with People magazine, soon after getting engaged in 2021, that they have a wonderful connection. She explained that he accepts her for who she is, and they share a lot of laughter together – she makes him laugh, and he makes her laugh.

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

Status: Separated

Despite being a fan-favorite couple on Summer House, they announced their split in January 2026. They had been married for four years and together for almost ten.

Kyle shared that nothing could have truly prepared 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. She acknowledged that going through a breakup publicly isn’t easy.

Although they haven’t officially divorced, Amanda revealed she’s started a new relationship with West in March 2026.

Status: Broken Up 

I’ve been following West and Ciara’s relationship since it began back in 2022, and it’s been quite a rollercoaster! It felt like they were constantly breaking up and getting back together. But honestly, it seems like it’s really over this time. When West started dating Amanda – Ciara’s best friend, no less – back in March 2026, it felt like the final nail in the coffin. It’s sad, but it seems like they’ve both moved on.

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

Status: Broken Up

I was really rooting for these two! They met back in 2021 and seemed so happy together, but sadly, they broke up in 2024. It’s disappointing to see it end, as a big fan of both Southern Charm and Summer House.

In a 2024 episode of Giggly Squad, Paige shared her deep admiration for Craig, calling him one of the best 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 anything that wasn’t meant to be.

Status: Broken up 

This relationship was a rollercoaster – both incredibly exciting and deeply frustrating. Their on-again, off-again dynamic was a major focus of the show one season, but caused a lot of drama the next. It’s hard to believe they were once seen as a perfect couple!

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: Together

Both of the new cast members on season 10 began the summer of 2025 as single individuals looking for romance, but they quickly formed a strong and lasting relationship with each other.

Status: Broken up 

Let’s be real, I’ve seen this pattern before. Carl Radke has definitely made some questionable choices, and his time with one of the Wirkus sisters was a prime example. She was clearly looking for a deeper connection, and he just wasn’t on the same page. Trust me, you never want to get on the bad side of a betrayed twin, especially when her sister is right there to back her up! It’s a recipe for drama, and honestly, a lot of hurt feelings.

Although the pair permanently split in 2018, Carl accepted full responsibility for their breakup.

Looking back, I realize a lot of my behavior came down to simply not being mature enough at the time. Honestly, I really struggled with communication, especially when it came to expressing my feelings to her. It was hard for me to be open and honest about what I was going through.

Status: Friends

As someone who’s followed the Summer House scene for years, I have to give Lindsay and Everett credit. They were one of the original couples when the show started back in 2017, and honestly, I’m impressed they’ve stayed friends after everything they went through as a couple. It’s not easy, and they’ve definitely navigated a tricky situation with grace.

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 little tense—and that’s how Ciara joined the cast of Summer House.

Ciara and West had a relationship that started and stopped several times, but it seemed to end permanently in 2026.

Status: Broken Up 

Paige and her boyfriend of a year mostly kept their relationship private in 2020, as he rarely appeared on camera. A year later, she started dating Craig Conover, but they eventually broke up in 2024.

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

Status: Broken Up

Though there was initial attraction between them at the start of 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 in 2022 and got engaged later that year. However, despite planning a wedding for 2023, they ultimately called it off.

Lindsay said she was completely shocked when it happened. “He turned my world upside down,” she told US Weekly. “I was devastated and furious, and I needed to heal and move forward on my own. But now I’m finally feeling good about putting it behind me.”

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

Status: Broken Up 

Everyone loved this couple on Summer House, and they seemed genuinely happy together. However, they broke up in 2023. At first, Danielle stated the split was friendly, but she changed her tune after seeing how quickly Robert started dating someone else.

Danielle revealed in 2023 to The Daily Dish that her ex is now with a coworker – someone she’d previously confronted him about during their breakup, only for him to dismiss her concerns as irrational. She added, with a touch of knowing, “Women’s intuition is always right.”

Danielle has since gone public with new boyfriend, tech entrepreneur Eoin Heavey.

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, and Carl was even visibly upset when Paige left Summer House in 2025.

Carl shared with TopMob News that he loves Paige. He expressed sadness about her departure, but acknowledged she had a busy summer and understood her decision.

Status: Broken Up

Honestly, I always knew Lindsay and Stravy wouldn’t make it. Lindsay was just so much more…her. It felt like she’d outgrow him long before he ever finished making her that sandwich! Their relationship ended in 2021 after a couple of years, but as a huge Summer House fan, I’ll always remember Stravy’s season five PowerPoint – it was iconic, and honestly, a highlight of the whole show!
