Kyle Cooke and Salley Carson Confirm Romance Following Earlier Denials

Kyle Cooke and Salley Carson have moved from rumors to confirmed couple status, multiple sources reveal.

The Summer House and Southern Charm stars have been spending time together and getting to know one another romantically, a shift that comes after Kyle had downplayed any romantic involvement between them. At the Summer House reunion, however, his co-star Lindsay Hubbard revealed that the two had locked lips at the season 10 premiere party—a detail Kyle had previously glossed over.

"It's new and casual, but he's really into her and they've been having fun," an insider shared with Us Weekly. "They've only hung out a few times but get along really well. They have a lot of chemistry."

The connection appears to be heating up, with Deux Moi reporting footage of the pair exiting a Charleston, South Carolina bar together. The outlet also indicated that Kyle made the trip to meet Salley's parents, suggesting the relationship is progressing beyond casual outings.

Their romance took an interesting turn when they were spotted hanging out with Salley's Southern Charm castmates Craig Conover and Austen Kroll on Friday, June 5. A source confirmed the foursome appeared to be enjoying each other's company, with the dynamic marking a notable moment given Kyle and Craig's past tensions over a competing beverage venture.

Kyle subsequently shared photos with both Craig and Austen on social media, captioning the post with "By the way, sew what"—an apparent nod to Craig's Sewing Down South business. Salley commented with "my favorite guys… most of the time," while Lindsay Hubbard chimed in with "Uh oh" and a laughing emoji.

During the Summer House reunion, host Andy Cohen directly asked Kyle about Salley, prompting the star to initially deflect. Lindsay quickly corrected the record, stating, "No, you made out the night of the Summer House premiere. Don't lie." Kyle clarified the kiss had occurred the night before the premiere.

Back in March, Kyle had addressed the speculation on Watch What Happens Live, characterizing an outing with Salley as a casual group hangout. "We were out with multiple friends, at a dive bar. This was not a date situation, just having fun. But, she's a great girl," he explained at the time.

The pair's connection comes as the Bravo universe continues to overlap, with Craig and Austen having made previous appearances on both Summer House and Winter House.
