While promoting his partnership with Coffee Mate, Radke spoke with Page Six’s Virtual Reali-Tea about Cooke’s flings and said the loverboy is “having a lot of fun” after his separation. Radke added that first relationships after a breakup are often “fun and light” and said Cooke appears to be enjoying himself.
According to AOL, Cooke recently kissed Next Gen NYC star Ava Dash at the Palm Tree Music Festival in the Hamptons after previously denying dating rumors. Before that, he was seen hooking up with Southern Charm star Salley Carson.
Talking to hosts Evan Real and Danny Murphy, Radke called Carson and Dash “wonderful” and “beautiful people” and said he encouraged Cooke to enjoy his freedom and have a “crazy, wild, single summer,” adding, “Maybe after the summer ends he’ll be ready for maybe a dating relationship.”
Reflecting on Cooke’s separation from Batula after a decade-long relationship, Radke said, “When you get out of a 10-year relationship, I think it takes some time to get back to being ready for maybe that level of another level of a committed relationship. So for Kyle, I’m like, ‘Dude, have fun, let loose, see what’s out there.'”
Cooke and Batula made their relationship official during the season one finale of Summer House. Their relationship endured several ups and downs, including Cooke’s 2018 infidelity before he proposed later that year, reports Us Weekly. They later got married in 2021.
After months of marital rumors, Cooke and Batula announced their separation in January 2026. Two months later, Batula revealed she was seeing Summer House costar West Wilson, who is close with Cooke.
Following online backlash, Wilson and Batula released a joint statement addressing the speculation around their relationship. They said they wanted to provide clarity, explaining that they did not intentionally hide their romance and needed time to process the situation privately because of the complicated dynamics involved.
They stated, as per Entertainment Weekly, “We’ve shown up for each other as friends over the years, through all the highs and lows, and what’s developed recently was the last thing either of us expected. Our connection grew out of a genuine, longstanding friendship, which made it especially important for us to approach this with care.”
