Amanda Batula has suggested a double date with her boyfriend West Wilson, her estranged husband Kyle Cooke, and Salley Carson in a preview for the In the City finale. The Bravo network released the clip following the July 7 episode, showing Batula proposing the group dinner to Cooke during a discussion about their respective love lives after their January split.
The proposal comes amid a complex web of romantic overlaps involving former Summer House cast members. While Batula presents the idea with a cheeky expression, Cooke appears visibly uncomfortable, reacting by putting his head down and holding the bridge of his nose. The finale, scheduled for Tuesday, July 14, will reveal Cooke’s definitive response to the suggestion.
This tension is rooted in the timeline of Batula’s relationship with Wilson. Although the pair initially denied romantic involvement, they confirmed they were a couple on March 31. This revelation followed the tumultuous final months of Batula and Cooke’s marriage, which played out during season 10 of Summer House.
The Timeline of the Batula-Cooke Split and West Wilson
Kyle and Amanda Cooke married in September 2021 after a six-year relationship that was documented throughout their time on Summer House. The couple announced the end of their four-year marriage in January, a separation that coincided with rumors that Batula had moved on with costar West Wilson.
The relationship between Batula and Wilson created further friction within their social circle. According to reports from Us Weekly in April, Wilson had reportedly hooked up with Ciara Miller—a former close friend of Batula—as recently as three to four weeks before Batula and Wilson confirmed their relationship. Miller was reportedly unaware of the romance between Batula and Wilson at that time.
The conflict peaked during the three-part Summer House season 10 reunion, which aired between May and June. The drama continued into the Summer House: The Aftermath special in June, where cast member Lindsay Hubbard questioned Batula about her relationship with Wilson. During the same special, Cooke sought clarification from Wilson regarding the specific timeline of his romance with Batula.
Kyle Cooke’s Dating History Since the Divorce
Following the separation, Kyle Cooke has been linked to multiple women. In early June, Us Weekly confirmed that Cooke and Salley Carson, a star of Southern Charm, were “hooking up.” The report followed sightings of the pair in Charleston with mutual friends Austen Kroll and Craig Conover.
A source cited by Us Weekly described the relationship as “new and casual,” noting that Cooke and Carson have “a lot of chemistry.” This connection is particularly notable because Carson was romantically linked to West Wilson in the fall of 2025, having attended a football game with him in South Carolina.
More recently, Cooke has been spotted with Ava Dash, a star of Next Gen NYC. The two were seen together at the Palm Tree Music Festival in Southampton, New York, on June 27. When asked about the relationship speculation on July 1, Dash told Us Weekly that she and Cooke had “gotten really close in the past couple months” and shared the same friend group, adding, “What happens in the Hamptons, stays in the Hamptons, for now.”
Cast Changes and the Future of Summer House
The romantic fallout has led to significant changes in the Bravo casting lineup. On June 15, Us Weekly confirmed that West Wilson would not return for season 11 of Summer House, which is currently in production. Shortly after, it was reported that Amanda Batula was also not invited back for the new season.
The absence of both Batula and Wilson from the main series shifts the focus to the spin-off In the City, where the resolution of the Cooke-Batula conflict is expected to culminate in the upcoming finale. The series continues to air on Bravo Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET.
The next major development for viewers will be the In the City finale on Tuesday, July 14, which will determine if the proposed double date between the exes and their new partners actually takes place.
