Summer House star Kyle Cooke appears to have found a new romantic connection following his recent divorce, sparking fresh headlines in the Bravo universe.
Cooke was spotted sharing a kiss with Real Housewives of Orange County alum Meghan King during a night out in New York City on April 16. The intimate moment, captured on video by Page Six, shows the pair engaged in conversation on a sidewalk before King leaned in for a quick peck. Cooke responded by placing his hands on her shoulders as they continued their chat.
Representatives for both reality stars did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the budding romance.
The public display of affection comes just months after Cooke and his ex-wife, Amanda Batula, announced their separation in January. The divorce followed a highly publicized dating scandal involving Batula and Cooke's former friend and Summer House costar, West Wilson.
Cooke recently opened up about the emotional toll of the situation in a TikTok interview with journalist Adam Glyn. "Amanda knows that what she did was wrong," he stated on April 1, "and she's trying to come to terms with it." He expressed concern for his ex-wife's well-being amid intense online criticism, noting, "I'm actually really worried about Amanda, if I'm being honest... from what I'm seeing she's kind of getting cyber bullied."
His sympathy, however, did not extend to West Wilson. "All I know is West seems to be the kind of guy playing multiple women at the same time," Cooke added, questioning why public sentiment appeared to favor Wilson in the controversy.
The drama traces back to 2023, when West Wilson briefly dated fellow Summer House cast member Ciara Miller. Their breakup created ongoing tension within the friend group, with Miller grappling with whether to reconcile with Wilson. The plot thickened earlier this year when Wilson and Batula confirmed their romantic involvement, placing Cooke in an awkward position with both his ex-wife and former friend.
As Cooke steps out with Meghan King—who left RHOC in 2018 after three seasons—Bravo fans are left wondering how this new relationship will impact the already complicated dynamics within the Summer House cast when the show returns for its next season.
