Kyle Cooke left the Summer House reunion saying he was single, but the Bravo rumor cycle has already moved to a new name: Southern Charm star Salley Carson.
Multiple sources now claim Cooke and Carson are casually spending time together after his split from Amanda Batula. Us Weekly reported that the connection is “new and casual,” but that Cooke is “really into” Carson and that the two have chemistry.
The Report Followed a Charleston Sighting

The latest speculation picked up after Cooke and Carson were reportedly seen together at By the Way bar in Charleston, South Carolina. Us Weekly reported that they were with Carson’s Southern Charm co-stars Craig Conover and Austen Kroll during the outing.
An eyewitness told the outlet that the group appeared to get along and that Cooke and Carson left the bar together. Neither Cooke nor Carson has publicly confirmed a relationship, and Us Weekly said representatives for both stars had not responded by the time its story was published.
Page Six Leaned Into the Bravo Crossover
Page Six reported that Cooke and Carson are “hooking up” amid his separation from Batula. The outlet also tied the report back to the Summer House reunion, where Cooke had already been pressed about Carson by Andy Cohen and his castmates.
The crossover gives the rumor extra Bravo fuel. Cooke is coming out of a highly public split on Summer House, while Carson brings the story into the Southern Charm orbit through Charleston, Conover, and Kroll.
Kyle Addressed Salley During the Summer House Reunion
During Part 2 of the Summer House Season 10 reunion, Andy Cohen asked Cooke directly about Carson. Cooke tried to downplay the situation, but castmates Lindsay Hubbard and Ciara Miller pushed back, saying he had made out with Carson around the Summer House premiere.
Bravo’s Daily Dish noted that Cooke described the moment as brief and non-romantic. He also said he was single and not romantically involved with any of the women whose names had come up during the reunion discussion.
That reunion answer now sits beside newer reports claiming he and Carson have continued to spend time together.
Amanda Batula Has Also Started a New Chapter
Cooke and Batula announced their separation in January after four years of marriage. Their split has continued to play out publicly because Summer House viewers watched years of tension around their marriage, business ties, and emotional distance.
Page Six reported that Batula is now dating West Wilson, another Summer House cast member, after the reunion brought fresh attention to both exes’ post-separation timelines.
That does not confirm anything about Cooke and Carson. It does explain why Bravo fans are tracking every sighting, reunion comment, and cross-show connection involving Cooke and Batula.
Neither Kyle Nor Salley Has Put a Label on It
The public record is still limited. Cooke admitted during the reunion discussion that he had kissed Carson, said he was single, and denied being in a romantic relationship at that time. Us Weekly and Page Six now report that he and Carson are casually spending time together.
Until Cooke or Carson says more, the story stays in reported-hookup territory rather than official-couple territory. For now, the Bravo headline is simple: Kyle Cooke and Salley Carson have become the newest cross-show pairing to set off fan speculation after his split from Amanda Batula.
