Kyle Cooke is setting the record straight on which Summer House costars he still follows after Amanda Batula and West Wilson’s shocking romance reveal.
“Yes I still follow and am tagging everyone,” Kyle, 43, wrote via Instagram on Wednesday, April 29. “That’s just my style — to each their own — so please don’t come at me in the comments.”
For his latest social media post, Kyle shared throwback photos from costar Carl Radke’s grand opening of his business, Soft Bar + Cafe, in New York. During the celebration, which was filmed for Summer House season 10 and aired on Tuesday, April 28, the entire cast came together to show their support.
“Beyond proud of Carl’s accomplishments, personally and professionally, and opening @softbarcafe is certainly one of his all time greatest achievements,” Kyle wrote via Instagram. “Putting yourself out there and taking a ton of risk doing something that isn’t widely accepted or adopted is the very premise of entrepreneurship. I wish I could have shown my belief in Carl in the form of an investment, and in retrospect, wish I just wrote a small check as a vote of confidence, but hindsight is 20/20.”
Although Carl, 41, was an investor in Kyle’s Loverboy cocktail company, Kyle chose not to invest in his friend’s establishment, which is described as a nonalcoholic bar and café for mindful consumption. (Carl has been sober from drugs and alcohol since January 2021.)
“I love @carlradke like a brother…and this was one of those precious moments that gave me a ton of pride,” Kyle continued in his post. “If you’re in or visiting NYC, make sure you put a visit on your to-do list! Xoxo.”
Although the Summer House cast was all smiles at the special event, a lot has transpired since filming wrapped.

Earlier this month, Kyle’s estranged wife, Amanda, 34, confirmed she was dating former BFF Ciara Miller’s ex-boyfriend West, 31. The relationship shocked the cast, especially Ciara, 30.
“To experience it so publicly is like another layer, and then to have to see what you thought was your life still play out in season 10. It’s a major mindf***,” she told Glamour in an interview published on April 17. “Just know when something’s weird in your gut, there’s a reason. What’s done in the dark always comes to light. And sometimes you really don’t even have to do anything except sit back and let the universe handle it all.”
Amanda Batula’s newfound romance with Summer House costar West Wilson has thrown the entire cast for a loop. “It’s just a lot to take in,” Amanda’s estranged husband, Kyle Cooke, said during a Wednesday, April 1, TikTok interview with Adam Glyn. “It’s not just me, Amanda, West, Ciara [Miller]. It’s, like, our whole friend group. […]
On Thursday, April 24, Amanda and West came face-to-face with the entire cast during the season 10 reunion taping.
Despite an audio leak after filming, host Andy Cohen was confident fans will still want to tune in to watch what happened.
“This was one of the most intense [reunions] we’ve ever shot,” Andy, 57, said via his Instagram Story hours after the taping. “This was a lot. This was a lot. It was very intense, you guys.”
