Are Kyle Cooke and Ava Dash Dating? Summer House Star Spotted with Damon Dash’s Daughter

Summer House star Kyle Cooke is back in the headlines — this time not for his dramatic split from ex-wife Amanda Batula, but for a new set of romance rumours linking him to Ava Dash, daughter of music mogul Damon Dash and fashion designer Rachel Roy. The speculation has been reignited after the two were spotted together at the Palm Tree Music Festival, with insiders claiming their interaction was anything but platonic.

Kyle Denied the Rumours in March — Then Came the Festival

The first wave of Kyle and Ava dating speculation surfaced earlier in 2026, before Kyle’s ex-wife Amanda Batula and her new partner West Wilson had even gone public with their relationship. In March 2026, Kyle appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, where the host directly asked whether he was seeing anyone. Kyle denied being in a relationship and specifically addressed the Ava Dash rumours, explaining:

Andy Cohen also pressed Kyle about a separate report linking him to Salley Carson, following similar speculation after they were seen together at a dive bar. Kyle dismissed those rumours as well, saying it was simply a group outing with friends.

Ava Dash, who is a well-known author, model, and television personality, has chosen to stay silent on the matter so far, offering no public response to the rumours.

As of now, Kyle Cooke has not publicly confirmed any romantic relationship with Ava Dash, leaving fans of both Summer House and In The City closely watching how both storylines unfold.
