Bravo’s ‘Summer House’ cast members Kyle Cooke and KJ Dillard were the center of attention at Southampton’s Maison Close club, where they initiated a boisterous dance party that attracted significant attention from other patrons. The incident occurred while the show was filming, reportedly in the venue's backyard area before moving inside.
According to reports, Cooke and Dillard took to a platform in the center of the packed club to dance, seemingly inspired by burlesque performers who had been on stage earlier. Their impromptu performance led to a surge of women joining them on the platform, with some removing their shoes in an effort to get closer and interact with the cast members.
A source described the scene as women “flinging themselves” at the cast. The club, located at the Capri hotel, was filled with patrons, and cameras continued to roll as the lively scene unfolded.
While filming, the cast reportedly appeared disengaged with other entertainment provided, such as a magician. The focus shifted when Cooke and Dillard began their dance.
Recent reports have linked Cooke to Ava Dash, a figure from “Next Gen NYC,” after they were seen together at the Palm Tree Music Festival in late June. He has also been connected to “Southern Charm” star Salley Carson. Cooke himself stated in June that he is embracing a “single era” and is not in a position to date locally due to frequent travel. He anticipates remaining single throughout the summer, citing his busy schedule.
Speculation regarding personal relationships includes an unconfirmed report that influencer Remi Bader left the venue with Dillard. Dillard has previously been linked to internet personality Dara Levitan.
The eleventh season of ‘Summer House’ is anticipated to premiere in early 2027.
