Kyle Cooke Clarifies Summer House Exit Rumors

Kyle Cooke has clarified recent social media posts that fueled rumors of his departure from Summer House. The 43-year-old explained that his message, "End of Season 10 and a decade of filming this show as I know it," was meant to express his feelings about reaching a significant milestone. He emphasized that the show is not canceled and he has not announced he will not return, attributing his emotional tone to the "end of an era."

Cooke's original post had suggested a more permanent goodbye, mentioning it was a "heartbreaking way to leave this house for good" and closing a "chapter." This sentiment was amplified as the iconic Summer House mansion, a seven-bedroom, nine-bathroom property, was listed for $5 million in March. The listing highlighted its appeal for "summer entertaining."

Further adding to the drama, speculation about Kyle's future also coincided with reports of West Wilson leaving the show after season 10. This followed Wilson's controversial relationship with Kyle's estranged wife, Amanda Batula. Wilson's departure was reportedly a mutual decision between him and the network, influenced by his new relationship.

Kyle and Amanda announced their separation in January after four years of marriage. Amanda later confirmed her relationship with Wilson, 31. The timeline of their romance was a central point of discussion during the season 10 reunion episodes. The fallout from Kyle and Amanda's separation is currently being explored on the spinoff show, In the City.
