Carl Radke, a star of Bravo's "Summer House," has shared his perspective on his co-star Kyle Cooke's recent romantic entanglements. Radke commented on Cooke's reported flings with "Southern Charm" star Salley Carson and "Next Gen NYC" star Ava Dash, characterizing Cooke's activities as a "fun and light" period following his separation from Amanda Batula.
"Listen, Kyle’s having a lot of fun," Radke told Page Six's "Virtual Reali-Tea." He added that the individuals one dates immediately after a separation are often "fun and light," suggesting Cooke is enjoying himself. Radke described both Carson and Dash as "wonderful" and "beautiful people."
Radke indicated that he has encouraged Cooke to "have fun" and embrace a "crazy, wild, single summer." He suggested that Cooke might be ready for a more serious relationship after the summer concludes. "When you get out of a 10-year relationship, I think it takes some time to get back to ready for maybe that level of another level of a committed relationship," Radke explained, referencing Cooke's decade-long relationship with Batula.
Cooke, who confirmed he made out with Carson the night before the "Summer House" Season 10 premiere party in February, has reportedly also slept with Carson. Additionally, reports emerged in June of Cooke being seen kissing Dash in the Hamptons.
Cooke and Radke, both original cast members of "Summer House," are set to return for the upcoming season, which has begun filming. This season will be Cooke's first as a single man. Other returning cast members include Lindsay Hubbard, Ciara Miller, Jesse Solomon, Mia Calabrese, Bailey Taylor, and KJ Dillard. It was confirmed in June that both Batula and her new partner, West Wilson, would not be returning for Season 11 following their public romance.
