Carl Radke Says Kyle Cooke Is Embracing Single Life After Split from Amanda Batula

Kyle Cooke is seemingly taking advantage of his newfound freedom following his separation from Bravo star Amanda Batula. According to longtime friend and fellow Summer House cast member Carl Radke, Cooke is "having a lot of fun."

During a promotional event for his partnership with Coffee Mate, Radke spoke about Cooke's current social life. He described it as "fun and light," suggesting that this period may be ideal for exploration without long-term commitments.

Radke commended Cooke's companions during this time: Ava Dash and Salley Carson. While praising their qualities, Radke appeared to encourage Cooke not to get too attached, urging him to enjoy his independence throughout what he called a "crazy, wild, single summer." Perhaps afterward, Cooke will consider entering into a more meaningful connection. When reflecting on Cooke's ten-year relationship with Batula, which ended last year, Radke observed that returning to the dating pool typically requires patience and time. Therefore, he advises Cooke to focus on self-improvement rather than jumping straight into new relationships.

Cooke and Batula began as a couple on Season One of Summer House. Despite enduring various ups and downs – including Cooke's 2018 infidelity before proposing later that year – the pair ultimately married in 2021. They separated shortly after, making public their split in January 2026. Subsequently, reports emerged detailing each party's subsequent romantic entanglements, culminating in recent confirmations that Cooke has been spotted kissing Ava Dash and hooking up with Salley Carson.

In tandem with West Wilson's blossoming romance with Batula, both parties jointly addressed allegations made by fans, emphasizing the value placed upon preserving friendly bonds despite emerging intimacy.
