Kyle Cooke and Lindsay Hubbard locked lips during a Halloween weekend cast trip to Cancun, Mexico, while filming “In the City” Season 2, multiple sources confirmed.
Cooke, 44, and Hubbard, 40, were part of a larger group staying at luxury suites at the SLS Playa Mujeres from Friday to Sunday. The cast enjoyed beach time, a performance by the Chainsmokers, a spa day, and a pool party where Cooke served as DJ. Fellow castmates on the trip included Yvonne Najor, Nick Barber, Kenny Martin, Whitney Fransway, and Gavin Moseley, plus newcomers Natasha Parker, Brittany Whitfield, Reagan Baker, and Robert Morrison.
The exact nature of the kiss remains unknown — whether it was romantic or simply a drunken, silly moment between friends.
What makes the smooch notable is the web of relationships connecting the two. Cooke’s best friend is Carl Radke, 41, who was engaged to Hubbard until he called off their November 2023 wedding just two months before the ceremony was set to take place, also in Mexico. Radke served as both officiant and best man at Cooke’s September 2021 wedding to Amanda Batula, 35, who is now Cooke’s estranged wife.
Radke was not present on the Cancun trip, sources confirmed. Neither Radke nor Batula responded to requests for comment.
Within the past year, Hubbard and Radke have appeared to rebuild their connection into what sources describe as genuine friendship, speculation from fans about a potential reconciliation notwithstanding. Radke has also maintained his own friendship and business partnership with Cooke through various ups and downs.
Batula exited “In the City” ahead of Season 2 amid controversy surrounding her relationship with West Wilson, who had previously been close with Cooke and dated Batula’s now-ex-best friend Ciara Miller. Over the summer, Cooke, Hubbard, Radke, and Miller filmed Season 11 of “Summer House” without Batula and Wilson, who departed after their secret relationship was exposed.
Reps for Cooke, Hubbard, and Bravo did not immediately respond to requests for comment about the Cancun incident.
The Mexico getaway marks another complicated chapter in the intertwined personal lives of the Bravo extended universe, where romantic boundaries between cast members have repeatedly blurred across multiple series and seasons.
Season 2 of “In the City” does not yet have a confirmed premiere date.
