The former Summer House couple are navigating their new reality. Earlier this month, Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula announced their split after a decade together. Their weekends were filmed for Summer House since Season 1. And a lot of issues went unresolved as they bickered over where to live, and whether to expand their family.
Luckily Amanda and Kyle are in a good space. And they spoke about living seperately and coparenting their dogs.
Amanda Batula and Kyle Cooke are getting along despite their separation
The Summer House favorites appeared on the Tuesday, January 27, episode of SiriusXM’s Front Row show. Both Kiki Monique and Dorinda Medley were interested in how Kyle and Amanda were getting along post-split.
“Yeah, we’re good. And that’s it,” the swimwear designer shared.
She continued, “It’s … easier to get along. But we’re good. We talk all the time. We’re both traveling. So I’m watching the dogs. He’s watching the dogs. We’re coparenting the dogs together. Still call him if I have questions.”
Kyle said that he feels the pressure is off now, after four years of marriage. He said, “Every step we’ve taken, there’s a little bit of, like, a weight has been lifted. And ironically, I feel like this last week, having kind of pressed post together, it felt like we were a little more lighthearted.”
Ultimately, Kyle championed their emotions these days. “More than anything, I want her to be happy,” he explained. “I want us both to be happy.” And he’s still around to help his estranged wife if she needs it. In a recent situation, Amanda “panicked” and didn’t “know” what to do.
“I had the windows open. I was standing on a chair waving my towel. My neighbors were just staring at me. I was panicked,” she said when her smoke alarm went off. “Also, I was high.”
The conversation shifted to the pair’s dogs, Reese and Ryder. It was suggested that Amanda and Kyle defer to Katie Maloney and Tom Schwartz. “Yeah. Well, I don’t know who we should be asking advice from,” Kyle said. “We’re creating our own blueprint.”
Catch the Season 10 premiere of Summer House Tuesday, February 3 at 8/7c on Bravo.
