When the drama of Amanda Batula\u2019s surprise romance with West Wilson hit the airwaves, many of the show\u2019s fans wondered how the rest of the cast would react. Kyle Cooke, the charismatic bartender and former \u201cLoverboy\u201d entrepreneur, took to Instagram to set the record straight. He confirmed that he still follows his fellow cast members and even tags them in his posts, proving that the bonds forged on the summer house are stronger than any on\u2011screen conflict.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, April 29, Kyle posted a short caption on Instagram, accompanied by a series of throwback photos from the recent Soft Bar + Cafe opening. The caption read: \u201cYes I still follow and am tagging everyone,\u201d<\/strong> he wrote. \u201cThat\u2019s just my style \u2014 to each their own \u2014 so please don\u2019t come at me in the comments.\u201d<\/strong> The post was a direct response to the buzz surrounding Amanda and West\u2019s romance, and it highlighted Kyle\u2019s commitment to maintaining friendships beyond the show.<\/p>\n Central to Kyle\u2019s post was a celebration of his longtime friend and fellow cast member, Carl Radke. Carl, 41, recently opened Soft Bar + Cafe in New York, a venture that combined his love of craft cocktails with a cozy caf\u00e9 atmosphere. The grand opening was filmed for Season 10 of Summer House<\/em> and aired on Tuesday, April 28. The entire cast turned up to support Carl, and Kyle\u2019s Instagram tribute captured the joyous moment.<\/p>\n In his caption, Kyle praised Carl\u2019s entrepreneurial spirit: \u201cBeyond proud of Carl\u2019s accomplishments, personally and professionally, and opening @softbarcafe is certainly one of his all time greatest achievements,\u201d<\/strong> he wrote. He went on to reflect on the risks involved in starting a new business: \u201cPutting yourself out there and taking a ton of risk doing something that isn\u2019t widely accepted or adopted is the very premise of entrepreneurship. I wish I could have shown my belief in Carl in the form of an investment, and in retrospect, wish I just wrote a small check as a vote of confidence, but hindsight is 20\/20.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n While Kyle\u2019s post didn\u2019t list every cast member, it made it clear that he remains connected to the majority of his \u201cSummer House\u201d family. Below is a quick rundown of the key personalities he\u2019s known to follow and engage with on social media:<\/p>\n For many reality stars, Instagram and other platforms are more than just a way to share photos; they\u2019re a lifeline to fans, a business tool, and a platform for personal expression. Kyle\u2019s decision to keep tagging his friends demonstrates a few key points:<\/p>\n <\/\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When the drama of Amanda Batula\u2019s surprise romance with West Wilson hit the airwaves, many of the show\u2019s fans wondered how the rest of the cast would react.
