Over the years, Summer House fans have seen Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula squabble many, many times. Furthermore, the now-separated couple had to relive those arguments while watching their show.
After years of watching and revisiting every on-camera fight they’d ever had, Amanda made the decision to stop the merry-go-round. According to Kyle, around Season 6 or 7, Amanda declared, “I’d rather not watch with you.”
Amanda Batula and Kyle Cooke separated after four years of marriage
On Carl Radke’s More Life podcast (taped before the couple’s separation announcement), Kyle explained that the show caused tension in his and Amanda’s relationship. “We’d pick up right where we left off,” he explained. “Like, ‘Here’s why I felt that way.;’ ‘Well, here’s why I felt that way.’ It [was] challenging.”
Even though it’s tough watching some scenes, Kyle claims, “I love seeing for the first time things I wasn’t a part of, even when people are literally talking sh*t about me.”
Just two weeks after the podcast was filmed, Kyle and Amanda announced their split via Instagram. “After much reflection, we have mutually and amicably decided to part ways as a couple. We … ask for your grace and support while we focus on our personal growth and healing.”
Summer House viewers watched Kyle and Amanda’s relationship develope on-screen. They began dating in 2016, getting engaged two years later. Though they married in 2021, Kyle just never seemed able to grow up and settle down.
In recent months, rumors circulated about whether the couple were living separately. While they claimed to be “committed” to their relationship, in November they confessed to be “going through a challenging time.”
Summer House Season 10 premieres February 3 at 8/7c on Bravo. It streams on Peacock.
