Peacock, Please Cast These 10 Celebrities Amanda Batula And Kyle Cooke Apologized To Their ‘Summer House’ Co-Stars For Arguing So Much: “It Was Awkward,” Bailey Taylor And Levi Sebree Admit Is Kyle Cooke Dating Salley Carson From ‘Southern Charm’? ‘Summer House’ Star Carl Radke Weighs In On Rumors How Old Is Kyle Cooke, DJ and ‘Summer House’ Star? Kyle Cooke is weighing in on those Amanda Batula and West Wilson rumors.
On Tuesday night’s (March 10) episode of Watch What Happens Live, host Andy Cohen brought up the rumors that Batula, Cooke’s estranged wife, and Wilson, his Summer House co-star and good friend, are hooking up.
“I kind of thought it was outrageous,” Cooke said. “For it to go as long as it has in the news cycle is kind of shocking. But I don’t think there’s any merit to it.”
Rumors began swirling when Deux Moi, an anonymous celebrity gossip account, shared on Instagram that Batula and Wilson were allegedly “telling people” about their not-so-secret tryst. Sources also claim they were “openly flirty, allegedly even holding hands under the table” at a recent event that Cooke had also attended.
While Cooke didn’t think the rumors were true, he told Cohen that he would have to support Batula if they were.
“It would certainly catch me by surprise and feel a little reckless,” he said. “I would probably be the last person people would be worried about. I think Ciara [Miller] would probably have something to say. But if it made Amanda happy, I think I would just have to vote yay.”
Cooke’s name has also been circulating in the gossip mill ever since he and Batula announced their separation earlier this year. Deux Moi recently shared that he and Next Gen NYC star Ava Dash were seen holding hands at a New York City hotspot. But, according to Cooke, it was only because they were playing a drinking game.
“We were at a family dinner, do a family blessing, holding hands, so I was holding her hand,” he clarified. “It was just some random drinking game in New York.”
The Loverboy founder also shut down rumors that he and Southern Charm star Salley Carson were spotted getting cozy. “We were out with multiple friends at a dive bar. This was not a date situation. [We were] just having fun. But she’s a great girl,” he said, shrugging off Cohen’s question about whether or not she was a good kisser.
Watch What Happens Live airs Sunday through Thursday at 10 p.m. ET on Bravo. New episodes are available to stream the next day on Peacock.
