Kyle Cooke Clarifies Rumors About His Future on 'Summer House' Following Cryptic Instagram Post

Kyle Cooke addressed speculation about his status on 'Summer House' after a post led fans to believe he might leave the show, clarifying that it is not canceled and he is not announcing his departure.

Kyle Cooke has recently clarified his status on the reality series Summer House after his cryptic Instagram post generated speculation regarding his potential exit from the show.

On June 18, Kyle, 43, posted an edited message on Instagram to mark the end of Season 10, stating, "End of Season 10 and a decade of filming this show as I know it." He reassured fans that the show is not canceled and that he is not announcing his departure. He expressed his emotions about the season finale, remarking, "I was feeling emo and always planned sharing the cover photo because it DID feel like the end of an era, which is why everyone else was so emotional saying their goodbyes on the finale. Sorry everyone!"

Initially, his post was interpreted by many as a hint that he might be leaving the show. He had written, "End of an era," and shared his struggle to smile in a photo with producers, noting, "Per usual I was the last to leave the house when we wrapped because I lug so much gear out. But this year was different. 10 seasons in the books. A new show [In the City] on the way. And a heartbreaking way to end one helluva run."

Kyle continued to share his heartfelt sentiments, saying, "I’m tearing up as I type this because we truly become a family shooting this show and it was a gut-wrenching way to leave this house for good. I can’t thank these 4 enough (and the rest of the crew) for giving up their summer to make it all happen." He added, "I think we can finally close this chapter (but don’t blame me if I post some throwbacks that are a lot happier than me driving home all by myself as we filmed the cross over). Finally, thank you to the fans for believing in this show and for all of your support over the last decade."

Us Weekly has reached out to Bravo for further comments on the matter.

The rumors about Kyle's status on Summer House coincided with news that West Wilson would be leaving the show after Season 10, following a controversial relationship with Kyle's estranged wife, Amanda Batula. A source informed Us Weekly that the decision for West to leave was mutual between him and the network, and that it felt like his time on the show was drawing to a close even before the divisive season 10 reunion.

Kyle and Amanda, 34, had announced their separation after four years of marriage in January. Just two months later, Amanda confirmed she was in a relationship with West, 31, despite earlier denials from the Summer House co-stars about their romance.

The dynamics among the cast were further complicated during the reunion, where Kyle, West, and Ciara Miller had opportunities to question Amanda about the timeline of her relationship with West. This reunion was part of a three-part series, with an Aftermath episode airing on June 16.

The unfolding drama surrounding Kyle and Amanda's January separation is also being featured in the spinoff show In the City. In May, both Kyle and Amanda were seen engaging amicably at the premiere of In the City’s first season in New York City, although Kyle later clarified their interaction on Instagram, stating, "You guys, yes, Amanda and I took a picture together. I was just happy that she showed up. She almost didn’t come to a show that she participated in. Shoot me. Shoot me. But don’t call my life, my relationship, my marriage, and my implosion of a marriage, fake."

He added, "With all due respect, we’re all adults here and we all showed up to a premiere party. And, yes, Amanda did not want to come, and I convinced her to come and we took a photo together. Grow the f*** up."

Both Summer House and In the City are broadcast on Bravo.
