Where Bravo's Craig Conover and Kyle Cooke Stand Today After Seltzer Feud-InfoExpress
Craig Conover and Kyle Cooke's feud may be cooling off.
After Kyle called out his former BFF earlier this year for partnering with Spritz Society, a competitor of the Summer House star's hard seltzer company Loverboy, Craig—who dates Kyle’s costar Paige DeSorbo—is revealing where they stand four months after their falling out.
"You'll have to watch Summer House coming up because I do go up there, so we flush it out, which is good," the Southern Charm star exclusively told E! News Sept. 23. "Everyone in life just has different perspectives."
Craig added that he was disappointed Kyle publicly bad-mouthed him for doing business with another brand.
"Kyle is actually one of my closest friends in the Bravo world," the 36-year-old explained. "I really enjoy going to film with him, I like hanging with him, we used to do double dates, so I was surprised because I think our friendship goes outside of filming. I was just bummed."
Plus, the Sewing Down South owner never imagined his partnership with Spritz Society would cause so much drama between them.
"If any of my friends ever got an offer to do something with a home decor company, I would want them to do it," the pillow designer noted. "I think the spaces are really big and I think a rising tide lifts all ships. I think we just look at things differently, and that's okay."
But the reality stars did make an effort to move past their bad blood.
"I do like Kyle a lot and we've had a lot of good memories throughout the year," Craig continued, "so I think it was more I didn't understand it. I also was just shocked. You'll get to see how that plays out when Summer House comes out."
And while Craig wouldn't reveal if he and Kyle made up on the upcoming ninth season of Summer House, he did tease, "I'm excited for everyone to see it and I think there's a lot of good messages that come from it."
As for his spokesmanship with Spritz Society, the Charleston native just debuted his very own new Southern-inspired flavor for the brand: Lemon Iced Tea.
"I wanted my drink to be something that you wanna drink by the pool or out on the boat or the golf course, I want it to be an outdoorsy thing," he shared. " So what we came up with was an iced tea with lemon in it, which is my favorite drink."
And Craig noted the one major difference between Spritz Society and Loverboy hard seltzers.
"The fact that it was wine based was something new to me," he explained. "I'm a big wine guy, I love wine and to have a chilled wine with a little bit of flavor in it was just right up my alley."
