Summer House Stars Amanda Batula and Kyle Cooke Announce Separation
Reality TV fans are reeling after Summer House’s Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula announced their separation after years of relationship ups and downs. The couple, who have been a central focus of the Bravo series since its inception, shared the news via an Instagram statement on Monday, January 19th.
“After much reflection, we have mutually and amicably decided to part ways as a couple,” the statement read. “We share this with a heavy heart and kindly ask for your grace and support while we focus on our personal growth and healing.” They acknowledged the irony of requesting privacy given their open relationship on the show, but emphasized the need for respect during this difficult time.
A Relationship Played Out on Screen
The split comes as no surprise to many viewers, as tensions between Cooke and Batula have been simmering for some time. The upcoming season 10 of Summer House is expected to showcase their struggles, including arguments surrounding Cooke’s DJ career and differing life goals. Speculation about a rift began in November 2025, with reports suggesting the couple was living separately. While sources initially denied the claims, they acknowledged the couple was navigating a “challenging time.”
Friends Weigh In
Fellow Summer House star Lindsay Hubbard attempted to reassure fans in November, stating that Cooke and Batula’s marriage was “solid” despite their issues. “It’s like any relationship, there’s ups and downs,” Hubbard explained, reminding viewers of the decade-long journey they’ve witnessed. However, the situation has clearly evolved since then.
From Engagement to Separation: A Timeline
Summer House viewers have followed Cooke and Batula’s relationship since the show’s premiere in 2017. Their engagement in September 2018 and subsequent wedding in September 2021 were major milestones documented on the show. Throughout their time together, they faced numerous hurdles, including Cooke’s past infidelity and disagreements about their future, including where to live and whether to start a family.
The Baby Question and Career Conflicts
The issue of starting a family became a significant point of contention. Batula expressed frustration that Cooke wasn’t actively pursuing the idea, stating, “He’s gonna have to be on my page. If he could grow the baby, it could be on his timeline. But it’s happening in this body.” She also questioned his commitment given his demanding career. Cooke, in previous interviews, acknowledged the challenges of balancing his business with their personal life and potential parenthood. He also alluded to how pets had inadvertently delayed their plans for children.
What’s Next?
Despite the breakup, Cooke hinted at an upcoming spinoff series, In the City, promising continued openness and honesty. As they both navigate this new chapter, fans are left to wonder what the future holds for Amanda Batula and Kyle Cooke, both individually and within the Summer House universe.
