Kyle Cooke may be moving forward following his split from Amanda Batula. Multiple sources claim the "Summer House" star has recently been spending time with "Southern Charm" cast member Salley Carson, sparking new dating speculation among Bravo fans.

According to reports, the connection between Cooke, 43, and Carson, 31, is still in its early stages. One insider described the situation as casual but said the pair have enjoyed getting to know each other.

"It's new and casual, but he's really into her and they've been having fun," a source said. "They've only hung out a few times but get along really well. They have a lot of chemistry."

The rumors gained momentum after Cooke and Carson were reportedly seen together at By the Way, a restaurant and bar in Charleston, South Carolina, on June 6. They were joined by Carson's "Southern Charm" castmates Craig Conover and Austen Kroll.

According to US Magazine, a witness said the group appeared comfortable together throughout the evening.

"The group appeared to be getting along," the source shared. "They have chemistry. It looked like they had fun and enjoyed each other's company."

According to the report, Cooke and Carson later left the venue together. Neither star has publicly commented on the nature of their relationship, and representatives for both have not responded to requests for comment.

Questions about the pair first surfaced during the recent "Summer House" Season 10 reunion. Host Andy Cohen directly asked Cooke about rumors involving Carson.

"What's up with you and Salley from 'Southern Charm?'" Cohen asked. "Is that a thing? Did you guys hook up?"

While Cooke did not fully confirm a relationship, discussion during the reunion revealed that he and Carson had shared a kiss earlier this year.

Cast members Lindsay Hubbard and Ciara Miller claimed the kiss happened around the time of the "Summer House" season premiere in February, Page Six reported. Cooke clarified that it occurred the night before the event.

The reports come several months after Cooke and Batula announced their separation in January after four years of marriage. In a joint statement, the former couple said they had "mutually and amicably decided to part ways as a couple" and asked for privacy as they adjusted to a new chapter in their lives.

Meanwhile, Batula has also moved forward publicly. Her relationship with fellow Bravo personality West Wilson became public in March.
