Kyle Cooke is dropping hints about season 10 of Summer House — and beyond — in his first BravoCon 2025 interview.
Us Weekly caught up with Kyle, 43, ahead of his DJ set at the T-Mobile store on the Las Vegas Strip on Thursday, November 13, for “the pregame of all pregames” for the fan convention. (BravoCon 2025 marks T- Mobile’s debut as a Presenting Sponsor.)“I was a longtime customer of a competitor of T-Mobile, and I’ve noticed their service has actually declined over the years, so when I met the T-Mobile team [a] year and a half ago, I was like, ‘I would love to work with you guys,’” Kyle recalled to
Hours earlier, Bravo announced Kyle, Amanda Batula and Lindsay Hubbard as confirmed cast members for an NYC-based
Speaking of the Hamptons show, Kyle promises
“It’s a bit of a roller-coaster ride. I feel like I always say that, but on a personal level, certainly,” he said. “I’m getting older, trying to keep up with the youngins that I’m trying to show how to party. We had an amazing time, and we always manage to find different things to do in the Hamptons.”
Kyle and Amanda subsequently went into taping the spinoff.
“What I’ve always been excited about any time we do something in the city is reminding everyone that — believe [it] or not — we don’t party full-time, 24/7, 365,” he said. “We’re New Yorkers, and that means we also work a lot. We have other friends that you haven’t necessarily met. It’s going to show that next chapter, and there’s gonna be some familiar faces and some new faces.”
Kyle told Us that he will continue to document the highs and lows.
“I’ve always been an open book. Lindsay, Amanda — we wear it on our sleeves. It’s not always easy, but we try to show anything and everything,” he told
Elsewhere during the three-day weekend, Kyle will be revisiting season 1 of Summer House at a panel with Lindsay and Carl Radke.
“I have never really done a rewatch, like, ever, so I’m excited for that because that was certainly the infamous hot tub scene,” he said of the pilot and a moment of him and
Golden Bachelor Mel Owens and Peg Munson are ready to debut their relationship with Bachelor Nation — but they’re still not in a rush to get engaged.
“You know what’s nice about being in your 60s and going through life, you get to write your own love story — and we’re on the same page,” Peg, 62, said during
Peg and Mel, 66, didn’t reveal dish on plans for an engagement, but they both easily proclaimed that they’re “in love” with one another.
“I saw our love grow all the way through, and it’s special when it’s the right person,” Mel gushed, detailing their life since
The duo also revealed they have big plans for the immediate future, noting that a trip to Las Vegas, Michigan and the Super Bowl are both on the books.
Mel and Peg will also jet set to Napa Valley for a romantic getaway together, thanks to ABC.
“It really is about finding love and bringing the families together,” Jesse concluded. “What a night, unforgettable moments, real emotions and a love story that we’ll be talking about for a really long time.”
Earlier in the episode, Mel picked Peg after Cindy, 60, eliminated herself over fears that Mel wasn’t ready to get married.
Mel kicked off his journey as the season 2 Golden Bachelor in September, narrowing down his list of suitors to Peg and Cindy. While reflecting on his connections with the women, Mel told
“She’s passionate, compassionate and brilliant,” he told Us, joking that he could “call it a wrap” on the show upon her limo exit. “I’m thinking, ‘Wow. She’s obviously beautiful.’”
With Peg, Mel gushed that she’s “high energy” and was curious to “crack” her. “I had to figure out if she really liked me or not!” he said, noting that he wanted her to be more affectionate, “I [had] to bring it out.”
Before determining which of his suitors was The One, Mel explained that he decided to create a pros and cons list to gain clarity.
“I usually don’t make those types of lists. I can do it in my head, but when you write stuff down, it’s meaningful,” Mel told Us. “I wanted to write down my first impressions, the goods, the bads, the neutrals. It really didn’t sway me, but I could still look at it.”
“It was tough,” he continued, “and I’m just trying to figure out who is going to be the best fit for me, who I would enjoy. The hometowns are all great. But there’s that magnetism that pulls you in that direction no matter what, and it’s a little bit more toward one person than the other, so I went with my gut.”
Mel, who gushed that the show “can put on a production” regarding his proposal in Antigua, teased that the ending is “really emotional.”
Mel was previously married to Fabiana Owens, with whom he shares two sons, for nearly 20 years — until she fell in love with someone else.
“I’m never going to get in the way of someone’s happiness. If you want to find somebody else in a different phase in your life, it hurts, but I can’t get in the way of your happiness,” he said, before explaining how he navigated moving on. “You live in the moment. Plus, I had kids, so I had to think about them before me. I let things work themselves out. I have patience and understanding.”
