She had pursued him the second she saw him,\u201d an insider exclusively told Us <\/a>on April 17 after the Bravo stars\u2019 unintentional run-in. \u201cHe was definitely buzzed and was having fun with her. It\u2019s nothing serious, but they did hang out all night even after the event was over, and made out several times in public.\u201d<\/p>\n

One day prior, photos circulated of King and Cooke, 43, packing on the PDA in Manhattan after they attended Page Six\u2019s \u201890s-themed party at Temple Bar.<\/p>\n

\u201cMeghan did seem interested and gravitated toward him more as the night went on,\u201d the source shared, noting that the event ended around 10 p.m., when Cooke and King left with a group and headed to Bar Bianchi.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt felt more like a fun, slightly flirty night out than anything serious,\u201d the insider added, revealing that the pair stayed at the bar until 1 a.m. \u201cThe kissing seemed like something just after a few drinks and a good night with friends.\u201d<\/p>\n

The hookup between King and Cooke came weeks after Cooke\u2019s ex Batula, 34, confirmed she is dating their Summer House<\/a> costar West Wilson<\/a>, who previously dated her close friend Ciara Miller<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The scandal has shaken the Summer House cast, most of which are not talking to Batula nor Wilson, 31. (Fans will get to hear everyone\u2019s side of the story<\/a> when the season 10 reunion airs next month.)<\/p>\n

Following the exes\u2019 divorce in 2019, King and Edmonds, 55, shared custody of their three children: daughter Aspen, 9, and twins Hart and Hayes, 7. Later Us broke the news in November 2025 that King was stripped of her physical custody rights and granted supervised visitation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe custody hearing has been called off,\u201d Edmonds\u2019 rep, Steve Honig, told Us in December 2025, sharing that \u201cboth sides have reached an agreement that is in the best interests of the children.\u201d<\/p>\n

A source told Us at the time that the children will be living with Edmonds in Tennessee full time and spend several weeks with King every summer.
