- Kyle Cooke reveals he’s moved on with fellow Bravolebrity after Amanda and West’s romance (themirror.com)
Kyle Cooke appears to be moving on after a turbulent reunion and breakup with Amanda Batula, revealing a new chapter in his personal life.
Following the emotional conclusion of their relationship during the Season 10 reunion of Summer House in New York, Cooke recently shared that he has reconnected with another Bravo personality. On the May 19 episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Kyle disclosed that he recently kissed Meghan King, known from The Real Housewives of Orange County.
The topic arose when Cohen mentioned running into King, to which Cooke added that he had also crossed paths with her. Lighthearted banter ensued when Cohen joked about making out with King, and Cooke quickly clarified, “But, I didn’t make out with her,” prompting laughter from the audience.
This revelation aligns with reports of the two spending time together in New York City. On April 16, Cooke and King were seen sharing a kiss on the street, captured by Page Six.
Video footage showed an affectionate moment where Meghan leaned in for a quick kiss before the pair continued chatting, with Cooke placing his hands on her shoulders. Earlier that evening, they had attended a ’90s-themed party hosted by Page Six and Nine West at Temple Bar, appearing relaxed and comfortable together.
Cooke sported a Notorious B.I.G. T-shirt with tan pants, while King wore a black slip dress and leather jacket-outfits consistent with what they wore later that night.
This new connection suggests Cooke is moving past his split from Batula, with whom he had been married for four years before announcing their divorce in January. The breakup drew significant attention, especially after Batula was seen sharing an intimate moment with West Wilson, a close acquaintance of Cooke’s. Fans weighed in on the situation, many expressing support for West’s ex, Ciara Miller, while criticism of Batula grew online.
In an April 1 TikTok interview with journalist Adam Glyn, Cooke addressed the controversy with a thoughtful tone. He acknowledged Batula’s remorse, stating, “Amanda knows that what she did was wrong.
And she’s trying to come to terms with it.” He also expressed concern about how Batula has been handling public backlash, noting, “I’m actually really worried about Amanda… she’s kind of getting cyber bullied.”
Regarding Wilson, Cooke was less sympathetic. “All I know is West seems to be the kind of guy playing multiple women at the same time,” he said, adding frustration over the public’s response: “50,000 people have decided that West deserves their follow.
Meanwhile, they’re just lighting up Amanda. I just feel bad.”
As the drama unfolds, it seems Kyle Cooke is focused on moving forward, forging new connections, and navigating the complexities of life in the Bravo spotlight.
