The reality TV world is abuzz with the latest romance rumors involving Summer House star Kyle Cooke and Southern Charm cast member Salley Carson. Recent reports suggest that the two have been spending time together, leading to speculation about a potential relationship.
Despite initial denials from Kyle, multiple sources have confirmed that the pair is indeed hooking up and enjoying each other’s company. The rumors gained traction after a DeuxMoi report claimed that Kyle had met Salley’s parents, a significant step in any budding relationship.
Public Outings and Chemistry
The couple was recently spotted together at the By the Way bar in Charleston, South Carolina, accompanied by Salley’s Southern Charm costars Craig Conover and Austen Kroll. Eyewitnesses noted that the group appeared to be getting along well, with Kyle and Salley displaying noticeable chemistry. They were seen leaving the bar together, further fueling the romance rumors.
A source close to the pair revealed that their relationship is still in the early stages but that Kyle is genuinely interested in Salley. “It’s new and casual, but he’s really into her and they’ve been having fun,” the source shared. “They’ve only hung out a few times but get along really well. They have a lot of chemistry.”
Reunion Drama and Denials
During the Summer House reunion, host Andy Cohen grilled Kyle about his connection to Salley. While Kyle attempted to downplay the speculation, his costars Lindsay Hubbard and Ciara Miller asserted that he had made out with Salley the night before the Season 10 premiere party in February. Kyle admitted that the kiss did occur but clarified that it happened the night before the premiere.
Kyle’s estranged wife, Amanda Batula, was also involved in the drama. Ciara revealed that she had immediately called Amanda to inform her about Kyle’s interaction with Salley. “I thought it was absurd. It’s insane,” Ciara commented, highlighting the complexity of the situation.
Past Relationships and Current Status
Kyle and Amanda were married for four years before announcing their separation in January. They released a joint statement expressing their mutual decision to part ways and requesting privacy during their personal growth and healing process. Two months later, Amanda confirmed that she had started seeing Ciara’s ex, West Wilson.
Salley, on the other hand, had previously revealed that she was not seriously dating anyone after one-sided crushes on her Southern Charm costars Craig and Austen. She had been engaged to Avery Bucholz before her stint on The Bachelor.
As the rumors continue to swirl, neither Kyle nor Salley has publicly confirmed their relationship status. However, the chemistry and recent outings suggest that there is indeed something brewing between the two reality stars.
