Kyle Cooke has no problem with Lala Kent spreading rumors he’s “good in bed” after 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 making out with Salley, 31, in February, they were intimate again during his trip to South Carolina in June.
“I was just in Charleston. Austen [Kroll] threw a nice little party,” Kyle explained about the summertime visit. “We hung out. Yes, we hooked up.”
Lindsay Hubbard jokingly asked if he had “sober sex,” referring to Amanda Batula’s earlier reunion claim that Kyle has boasted about doing so following their January split.
Kyle made a face and appeared to mouth, “Basically, yeah.”
Host Andy Cohen proceeded to point out that The Valley’s Lala, 35, revealed in June that “she heard on good authority” that Kyle is “good in bed” and he didn’t deny it.
“Yeah, I woke up to some texts [from outlets] asking for comment. I was like, ‘This is one time I would like to comment,’” Kyle responded, laughing alongside his male castmates.
Amanda, who was married to Kyle four years before their breakup earlier this year, had more questions for her estranged husband, wondering, “How would people know that?”

She asked, “How many people are you sleeping with and how soon after?”
“It was Salley. She had told Lala because I guess they had recorded a podcast,” Kyle replied, claiming the Southern Charm star had gushed about his sexual prowess after they slept together.
Amanda, 34, smirked, asking, “What were you guys doing in bed?”
Lindsay once again teased, “Having sober sex, Amanda!”
Georgina Ferzli, who revealed during the reunion that Amanda had “tears in her eyes” when Kyle first told her he was having “sober sex,” also wanted more details.
“Was the sober sex person her?” Georgina asked about Salley, to which Kyle responded, “No, no, no.”
Amanda joked that the “sober sex” girl had to be another one of Kyle’s alleged conquests.
“One was my age, one was 10 years younger but reads at an older level,” Amanda said with a laugh while revealing who Kyle had allegedly slept with in recent months.
Kyle started to smile, admitting, “That is what I said,” confirming that he had spoken with Amanda about his sex life following their split.
“And I found a bra. It’s fine, we are able to laugh about it,” Amanda insisted.
When asked whether she cared about seeing Kyle making out with someone now that they are separated, Amanda said, “No.”
“I think I mourned most of our relationship when I was still in it, which is why I think I was so cold and closed off toward the end of it,” Amanda explained. “Now he tells me about makeouts that he has and we laugh about it.”

Georgina confirmed that the exes do have a cordial relationship, saying 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 story, revealing, “Yeah, I don’t know how that came up. I guess I was 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 tied the knot in September 2021. Four years later, they released a joint statement in January, confirming they had parted ways.
Amanda moved on with Summer House costar West Wilson the following month, but both parties initially denied their romance. In March, Amanda and West, 31, confirmed their relationship, sending shockwaves through the Bravoverse.
Kyle confessed during Tuesday’s reunion that he felt more “betrayed” by West than Amanda after the scandal.
Kyle said that they “were boys” while he and Amanda “were done with our [marriage]” when she started seeing him. (Amanda, however, faced her fair share of backlash after hurting one-time BFF Ciara Miller by dating her ex West behind her back.)

When asked about where she stands with West, Amanda revealed they are still dating and were “monogamous.”
“Are you in love?” Andy, 58, asked. “That’s a weird question to answer,” Amanda replied.
Her castmates then asked, “Do you say I love you?” to which Amanda responded, “Not really.”
She later confessed that she hadn’t said it up until that point.
Part 2 of the In the City reunion airs on Bravo Tuesday, July 28, at 9 p.m. ET.
