Are Bravo’s Kyle Cooke & Salley Carson Dating? Breaking Down the Evidence
There’s nothing Bravo stars love more than a good romance crossover! While it doesn’t always work out (just ask Paige DeSorbo and Craig Conover), there have been plenty of cross-show relationships within the network. Now, it appears Kyle Cooke and Salley Carson could be Bravo’s next couple.
Salley has been seen spending time in the Hamptons with Kyle and his Summer House costars this summer, and she recently addressed questions about their relationship status. “Kyle. Is it love. Is it fun. Or is it that [eggplant emoji]?” a fan asked the Southern Charm star during a recent Instagram Q&A. She responded, “Can 3 things be true at the same time?”
Another fan asked, “When are you gonna settle down?” She replied, “Yall aren’t gonna believe me…but I’m pretty sure it’s going to be so soon.” This led to speculation that Kyle could be the person she could want to settle down with, considering her response to the previous question.
Below, we’re breaking down the evidence we have of this possible romantic relationship so far.
The first hookup
Kyle and Salley first hooked up the night before the Summer House Season 10 premiere in February. He confirmed this during the Summer House reunion in June after previously playing coy about it (more on that below).
At the time of the Summer House premiere, Kyle was fresh off his separation from Amanda Batula. They announced their split in mid-January.
WWHL denial
When Kyle appeared on Watch What Happens Live in March, he was asked about the February sighting of him and Salley and downplayed what was going on between them.
“We were out with multiple friends at a dive bar,” Kyle insisted. “That was not a date situation, just having fun. She’s a great girl.” He would later admit that he and Salley made out that night.
Charleston hangout
Later that month, Kyle had a DJ gig in Charleston and spent time with Salley and Austen Kroll while he was in town. Salley documented their night on her Instagram Story, including a selfie of her sandwiched between the guys.

Return to Charleston
Kyle was back in Charleston at the beginning of June and revealed during part one of the In the City reunion, which was filmed on June 11 and aired on July 21, that he and Salley “hooked up” while he was in town.
Prior to that public admission, Us Weekly reported on June 6 that the two were “hooking up” and that the relationship was “new and casual.”
Hamptons sighting
Kyle had his arm around Salley in a photo taken of them, and obtained by DeuxMoi, on the July 4 weekend in the Hamptons. The gossip site posted the photo on Instagram on July 4, and Salley commented, “That was actually two nights ago.”
This was around the same time that Kyle was reportedly kissing Next Gen NYC star Ava Dash in the Hamptons, although she later clarified, “We have randomly just become in the same friend group, and we’ve been hanging out a lot in group settings. And honestly, he’s just a lot of fun.”
