Kyle Cooke's New Chapter: Dating Post-Divorce

Kyle Cooke experienced a lively summer while filming season 11 of Summer House, embracing his life as a newly single man. After announcing his split from estranged wife Amanda Batula in January, Cooke, aged 44, focused on having fun without immediate relationship commitments. He shared that during the show's filming in the Hamptons, he "tippy-toed" back into dating, exploring casual encounters and "what are we?" discussions. Cooke confessed that re-entering the dating world after a 10-year relationship felt overwhelming.

Cooke found support from his unattached housemates, KJ Dillard and Carl Radke, during the filming period. He described his new phase as "Kyle 2.0," distinct from his earlier portrayal as a long-term partner on the show. This summer also saw him busy with his DJ career and finding love again, leading to his collaboration with Bumble for their "Bumble Handles" campaign. Cooke highlighted the campaign's benefit in facilitating real-life connections without immediate number exchanges, enhancing privacy and confidence.
