Kyle Cooke and Salley Carson are “hooking up,” multiple sources confirm to Us Weekly.
“It’s new and casual, but he’s really into her and they’ve been having fun,” one source exclusively tells Us. “They’ve only hung out a few times but get along really well. They have a lot of chemistry.”
A second insider further tells Us that Kyle, 43, and Salley, 31, were spotted together at the By the Way bar in Charleston, South Carolina, on Friday, June 6, alongside Salley’s Southern Charm costars Craig Conover and Austen Kroll.
“The group appeared to be getting along,” the eyewitness tells Us of the Friday outing, adding that Kyle and Salley left the bar together. “They have chemistry. It looked like they had fun and enjoyed each other’s company.”
Neither Kyle nor Salley have publicly addressed their relationship status. Us reached out to reps for both stars for comment but did not hear back at the time of publication. Us also reached out to Bravo for comment.
Kyle was recently grilled about his connection to Salley during the latest episode of the Summer House reunion.
“What’s up with you and Salley from Southern Charm?” Andy Cohen asked the Loverboy founder during the Tuesday, June 2, episode. “Is that a thing? Did you guys hook up?”
While Kyle attempted to deny the speculation, his costars Lindsay Hubbard and Ciara Miller asserted that he made out with Salley “on the night of the Summer House premiere” back in February. According to Kyle, the aforementioned kiss actually happened “the night before.”
“When I found that out, I immediately called Amanda [Batula], and I told her that Kyle was making out with Salley, and I thought that that was crazy,” Ciara, 30, claimed, referring to Kyle’s estranged wife. “I thought it was absurd. It’s insane. I’m just making an example of how good of a friend I was to you and how you’re a friend to me. I just want to point that out.”
Kyle and Amanda, 34, were married for four years before announcing their separation in January.
“After much reflection, we have mutually and amicably decided to part ways as a couple,” the now-exes wrote in a joint social media statement at the time. “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, “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, Amanda confirmed that she recently started seeing Ciara’s ex West Wilson.
As for Salley, she revealed on the “Not Skinny Not Fat” podcast in February that she was “not seriously dating” anyone after one-sided crushes on Craig, 37, and Austen, 38, respectively. The Bravolebrity was previously engaged to Avery Bucholz before her 2021 stint on The Bachelor.
