Kyle from In the City Responds to Lala’s Comments About His Bed Skills
Kyle Cooke has no issue with Lala Kent spreading the word that he’s “good in bed” following his hookup with Salley Carson.
During part 1 of the In the City reunion, which aired on Tuesday, July 21, Kyle, 43, confirmed that after kissing Salley, 31, in February, they became intimate again during his visit to South Carolina in June.
“I was just in Charleston. Austen [Kroll] hosted a lovely party,” Kyle explained about his summer trip. “We hung out. Yes, we hooked up.”
Lindsay Hubbard playfully asked if he had “sober sex,” referencing Amanda Batula’s earlier claim at the reunion that Kyle had bragged about doing so following their January split.
Kyle made a face and seemed to mouth, “Basically, yeah.”
Host Andy Cohen mentioned that The Valley’s Lala, 35, disclosed in June that “she heard through reliable sources” that Kyle is “good in bed,” and he didn’t deny it.
“Yeah, I woke up to some texts [from media outlets] asking for comments. I thought, ‘This is one time I’d like to comment,’” Kyle laughed alongside his male castmates.
Amanda, who was married to Kyle for four years before their breakup earlier this year, had more questions for her estranged husband, asking, “How would people know that?”
She inquired, “How many people are you sleeping with, and how soon after?”
“It was Salley. She mentioned it to Lala because I guess they recorded a podcast together,” Kyle replied, claiming the Southern Charm star praised his skills after their night together.
Amanda, 34, smirked and asked, “What were you two doing in bed?”
Lindsay chimed in again, teasing, “Having sober sex, Amanda!”
Georgina Ferzli, who revealed during the reunion that Amanda had “tears in her eyes” when Kyle first told her about having “sober sex,” also wanted more details.
“Was the sober sex person her?” Georgina asked about Salley, to which Kyle replied, “No, no, no.”
Amanda joked that the “sober sex” girl must be another one of Kyle’s rumored flings.
“One was my age, one was 10 years younger but has an older mindset,” Amanda laughed, revealing who Kyle allegedly slept with recently.
Kyle began to smile, admitting, “That is what I said,” confirming that he had discussed his sex life with Amanda after their separation.
“And I found a bra. It’s fine, we can laugh about it,” Amanda insisted.
When asked if she minded seeing Kyle kiss someone else now that they are apart, Amanda said, “No.”
“I think I mourned most of our relationship while I was still in it, which is why I think I was so cold and closed off towards the end,” Amanda explained. “Now he shares his makeout stories with me, and we laugh about it.”
Georgina confirmed that the exes maintain a friendly relationship, noting at the In the City premiere party she overheard Kyle telling Amanda “how he has sober sex.”
“She was saying, ‘I’m so proud of you.’ She had tears in her eyes,” Georgina recalled.
Kyle confirmed the account, revealing, “Yeah, I don’t know how that came up. I was probably trying to make a point. I forget my point.”
Amanda and Kyle began dating while filming season 1 of Summer House, which premiered in 2017. The couple married in September 2021, but four years later, they issued a joint statement in January announcing their separation.
Amanda moved on with Summer House costar West Wilson the following month, although both initially denied their romance. By March, Amanda and West, 31, confirmed their relationship, shocking the Bravoverse.
Kyle admitted during Tuesday’s reunion that he felt more “betrayed” by West than Amanda after the drama.
Kyle stated that they “were boys” while he and Amanda “were done with our [marriage]” when she began dating him. (Amanda, however, faced backlash for dating West because she hurt one-time BFF Ciara Miller by seeing her ex behind her back.)
When asked about her relationship with West, Amanda revealed they are still together and are “monogamous.”
“Are you in love?” Andy, 58, asked. “That’s a weird question to answer,” Amanda replied.
Her castmates then pressed, “Do you say I love you?” to which Amanda responded, “Not really.”
She later confessed that she hadn’t expressed that up to that point.
Part 2 of the In the City reunion airs on Bravo Tuesday, July 28, at 9 p.m. ET.
