Kyle Cooke and KJ Dillard sparked a frenzy at a Southampton club while cameras rolled for “Summer House.”
The Bravo stars, both in their single eras, climbed onto a central platform at Maison Close inside the Capri hotel during a recent filming night and started dancing, sending a swarm of Hampton women scrambling to join them. The burlesque-themed restaurant and performance venue, located in the heart of Southampton, became the backdrop for the latest Season 11 footage as cast members mixed with locals and summer revelers.
An onlooker described the scene as chaotic and one-sided. “Women were jumping up with them, taking their shoes off, trying to get close enough to dance and flirt with them,” the spy recounted. “It was kind of sad to see how many women were willing to fling themselves at these guys.”
The same witness noted that the cast had appeared subdued earlier in the evening during the backyard portion of the shoot. “The cast looked super bored,” the source said. “There was a magician doing tricks for them, but they didn’t look like they were having much fun. Just sort of phoning it in.” The energy shifted dramatically once the group moved inside the packed venue, where risque dancers had already been performing on stage.
According to celeb rumor account DeuxMoi, influencer Remi Bader left the venue with Dillard that night. A rep for Bader did not respond to request for comment. Dillard previously dated internet star Dara Levitan.
Cooke, 41, has been publicly embracing his bachelor status following his split from longtime partner and co-star Amanda Batula. He said in June that he is in his “single era” and has no plans to change that this summer. “I’m traveling a lot, so I’m not even really in a position to date in New York,” he said. “I’m having fun. I will 100% be single this summer because I’m looking at my calendar and I’m like, ‘Yeah, there’s no chance for me to even date locally.'”
Page Six previously spotted Cooke making out with “Next Gen NYC” breakout Ava Dash in the VIP section at the Palm Tree Music Festival on the Shinnecock Nation grounds in Southampton at the end of June. He has also been linked to “Southern Charm” star Salley Carson.
The 11th season of “Summer House” is expected to air in early 2027. The show has been filming in the Hamptons throughout the summer, with cast members including returning stars Lindsay Hubbard, Carl Radke, Paige DeSorbo, Ciara Miller, and others splitting time between their shared Water Mill rental and local hotspots.
Maison Close, which features cabaret shows and burlesque performances from Thursday through Sunday, has become an increasingly visible nightlife destination in Southampton. The venue sits within the Capri hotel, a boutique property that has hosted several reality television productions and celebrity events in recent years.
