A New Romance Blossoms
It appears that a new connection has formed between reality television personalities Kyle Cooke of Summer House and Salley Carson of Southern Charm. Multiple insiders have confirmed that the two are currently seeing each other.
According to one source, the relationship is described as being in the early, casual stages, but there is a clear mutual interest. The pair has spent time together on a few occasions and reportedly shares a strong sense of chemistry.
Public Sightings and Chemistry
The duo was recently seen together at the By the Way bar in Charleston, South Carolina, on June 6. They were accompanied by Carson’s Southern Charm castmates, Craig Conover and Austen Kroll. Witnesses at the scene noted that the group seemed to get along well, and it was observed that Cooke and Carson left the establishment together, appearing to enjoy one another's company.
Reality TV Repercussions
The nature of their relationship became a topic of discussion during the recent Summer House reunion. When pressed by host Andy Cohen regarding his status with Carson, the Loverboy founder attempted to deflect the questions. However, his castmates, Lindsay Hubbard and Ciara Miller, stepped in to provide context, claiming that the two had shared a kiss during the night of the show’s February premiere. Cooke later clarified the timeline, stating that the encounter actually occurred the night prior.
Ciara Miller also spoke to her involvement, noting that she had informed Amanda Batula—Cooke’s estranged wife—about the situation at the time, emphasizing her loyalty within their friend group.
Background on Personal Changes
This development follows the high-profile separation of Cooke and Batula. At the time of their split, the former couple issued a joint statement announcing their decision to go their separate ways, asking for privacy and support while they focus on personal growth. Since the separation, Batula has reportedly begun seeing West Wilson.
Meanwhile, Carson previously shared on the Not Skinny Not Fat podcast that she was not in a serious relationship, following prior romantic interests involving Conover and Kroll. Carson, who was previously engaged to Avery Bucholz, remains a notable figure within the Bravo network.
