Summer House star Kyle Cooke is already making the most of his time in Monaco for this year’s Cannes Lions festival.
“Have we kissed anyone here in Cannes?” Page Six reporter Evan Real asked Cooke, 43, during a Wednesday, June 24, appearance on his “Virtual Reali-tea” podcast.
Cooke answered affirmatively, adding, “Yeah, shout-out to Astrid.”
Without offering further details about Astrid’s identity, Cooke teased that “she’s in my bed” in his hotel room in Cannes.
“This is already so unhinged,” Cooke’s Summer House and In the City costar Lindsay Hubbard chimed in.
Elsewhere during the “Virtual Reali-tea” taping, Cooke cleared the air about the recent viral speculation he kissed influencer Connor Wood (a.k.a. Fibula).
“Listen, it’s pride month, I leaned into it,” he explained. “We staged that. We did stage that one, so we had a very long chat last night, and it ended with a staged kiss. I felt good about it, obviously.”
Cooke’s love life has been a hot topic since he and his estranged wife, Amanda Batula, announced their separation in January.
“After much reflection, we have mutually and amicably decided to part ways as a couple,” their joint social media statement read. “We share this with a heavy heart and kindly ask for your grace and support while we focus on our personal growth and healing.”
They continued at the time, “It feels ironic to ask for privacy during this time since we’ve always tried to be open and honest about our relationship, but your kindness and respect will go a long way as we try to navigate our next chapter.”
Two months later, Batula, 34, revealed in another social media statement that she is casually dating Summer House costar West Wilson. (Wilson, 31, previously dated Batula’s BFF Ciara Miller.)
Cooke, who claimed to be blindsided by Batula’s romance with their costar, has also been stepping back into the dating scene post-split. He was even spotted with fellow Bravo stars Meghan King and Salley Carson on separate occasions.
Cooke was spotted kissing King, 41, after they attended the same New York City party in April.
“I didn’t know who she was, introduced myself,” he said during the Summer House season 10 reunion, which aired earlier this month. “We ended up at a Page Six party and then an afterparty. I could, kind of, sense people were looking at us.”
He also confirmed that he kissed Southern Charm star Carson, 32, at the premiere of Summer House in February.
