Continue reading to see what was shown in the video, what other Bravolebrities said about that night, and the highs and lows Cooke and Batula have been through.

A Video Shows Kyle Cooke Talking Closely With Another Woman

In June 2024, a video circulated on social media of Kyle Cooke speaking closely with a blonde woman inside the bar Lamar's in Charleston, South Carolina. The video was allegedly from November and Cooke was in town for an event for his company Loverboy. Messages were leaked alongside the video, indicating that Cooke lied about his whereabouts and indicated he had never been to Lamar's — despite photographic evidence.

In the video that was shared by @FaceReality16, Cooke and the mystery woman can be seen talking in the corner of the bar. He lightly hugged her before rubbing her arm and, seemingly, dispersing.

A few weeks before the video aired, a blind item about Cooke’s unfaithful ways was released in a blind item on Deuxmoi. The blind item was almost a precursor to the video that came out weeks later. Blind items are celebrity-related stories and sightings submitted anonymously. The post read, "This Bravo entrepreneur turned DJ was seen getting extra close with someone who wasn't his partner during a night out following an event for his company. Is another breakup in the cards this summer? Maybe she has a reason to not want him out on the town until 4am."

Between the blind item and the video of him speaking closely with another woman, fans were waiting for Batula to make a statement. However, that never came. Instead, Cooke traveled to Italy for Andrea Denver's (former Summer House castmate) wedding alone.

Although Batula never made a statement, other Bravolebrities close to the situation have and denied it vehemently.

Leva Bonaparte is a cast member on Bravo's Southern Charm. She's also married to the owner of the bar that Cooke was at the night during the alleged cheating. Reality Blurb shared that after watching the video, Leva reached out to Instagram user @QueensofBravo to clear up the situation.

“I was present for this entire interaction and evening. And I can’t stand by and watch the internet go after someone’s marriage when it’s based on zero facts.”

Bonaparte explained that Cooke was not drunk and that they spoke at length throughout the night about the bar. She continued saying that Cooke and the mystery woman spoke for "five minutes."

She stated, "In the video, he is speaking to a woman who is a good friend of mine and also happens to be a decade-old friend of Kyle’s. Let me also mention that this girl friend of ours is in a very committed relationship and she came by my club to meet me for a drink, before we went home together."

As for the hug and arm graze, Bonaparte shared that Cook was congratulating the woman before both going their separate ways. She ended her message by saying how damaging the rumors were and that nothing happened between Cooke and another woman.

Summer House star West Wilson joined the comments section of a post by Page Six. After Page Six wrote, "Summer Charm star Leva Bonaparte is denying Kyle Cooke, who is married to Summer House co-star Amanda Batula, made out with a mystery woman at one of her bars..." In response, West supported his friend.

"Because it didn't f**king happen. JFC leave them alone."

With Cooke and Batula seemingly still together and having the support from other Bravolebirites, it appears the alleged cheating was nothing more than a platonic catch-up.

Kyle Cooke And Amanda Batula Had A Bumpy History Leading Up To Their Wedding

Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula's relationship started early on in Summer House. In Season 1, Cooke had been on and off with Batula and invited her to the Hamptons for a few weekends. In the finale of Season 1, the two became an official item.

Unfortunately, in Season 3, Cooke was out late one night and couldn't remember if he had kissed another woman. He went off stories that he was told by his friends. While in the pool, Cooke told Batula that there was a "rumor" going around about him being with another woman. Batula was distraught. Sadly, this wasn't the only time Cooke had been unfaithful to Batula.

In 2018, the couple announced their engagement on Instagram. However, after getting engaged, Cooke dropped a bomb: he had been unfaithful to her a year prior.

According to US Weekly, Cooke said "A year ago, I was on a guys' trip, I blacked out, and I woke up with a girl in my bed... I've never felt worse in my entire life."

Despite the tears and the arguments, Batula forgave Cooke and the two decided to give their relationship another shot. They were married at Batula's family's estate in 2021.

Today, Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula still run their drink company Loverboy while being dog owners in New York City. Despite the hardships, the couple shared on Summer House that settling in the suburbs and having children is next on the horizon.
