Kyle Cooke Moves On at NYC Uber Party with Mystery Woman

Kyle Cooke’s ready to turn the page. The Summer House star was spotted Friday night at an Uber event in New York City with a brunette companion in tow—and the two were decidedly cozy. Hand-holding through the crowd, lingering together during a Backstreet Boys performance alongside Bravo honcho Andy Cohen—the signals were clear enough that this wasn’t just a casual“ran into you”vibe.

The timing makes sense. Cooke’s been processing a lot lately. His estranged wife, Amanda Batula, is now fully coupled up with his former close friend, West Wilson—a betrayal that’s been unspooling across Summer House Season 10’s three-part reunion, which wrapped this week. In interviews, Cooke hasn’t minced words, comparing the dynamic to something he’d rather not think about. And there’s more awkwardness on the horizon: Bravo’s airing a surprise episode next week where West reveals he’s loved Amanda for a long time. Translation: this wasn’t some random spark that just caught fire.

So seeing Cooke out and about with someone new at a high-profile event sends a message, intentional or not. He’s not sitting at home stewing. He’s moving forward, hitting the town, and yes, holding hands with mysterious brunettes at parties where the Backstreet Boys are performing. It’s the kind of public reset that speaks louder than any statement he could issue.

The Uber bash itself was packed with A-listers—Andy Cohen was catching up with everyone from Ramona Singer to Amy Schumer, with Mark Ronson providing musical accompaniment alongside the Backstreet Boys. In that glittering context, Cooke’s presence with a new date reads less like random paparazzi fodder and more like a guy actively reclaiming his footing after a friendship and marriage both imploded in front of millions of viewers.

Whether this mystery woman becomes something serious or stays a one-off outing remains to be seen. But the real story here is simpler: Cooke’s not letting the wreckage define him. He’s out, he’s visible, and he’s clearly not waiting around to process his pain in private.
