Summer House Stars Amanda Batula And Kyle Cooke Split

For years, Amanda Batula and Kyle Cooke were the heart of Bravo’s Summer House—a couple whose relationship, with all its highs and lows, played out in front of millions. But on January 19, 2026, the pair announced their separation, closing the chapter on a marriage that had been as public as it was eventful. The news, shared via a joint Instagram statement, stunned fans and cast members alike, especially as it arrived just weeks before the premiere of the show’s tenth season—a season that, by all accounts, would lay bare the growing fissures in their relationship.

“After much reflection, we have mutually and amicably decided to part ways as a couple,” the couple wrote in their statement posted to Instagram Stories. “We share this with a heavy heart and kindly ask for your grace and support while we focus on our personal growth and healing. It feels ironic to ask for privacy during this time since we've always tried to be open and honest about our relationship, but your kindness and respect will go a long way as we try to navigate our next chapter. Amanda & Kyle.” According to E! News, the pair’s request for privacy felt especially poignant, given how much of their journey had unfolded before the cameras.

Their relationship, which began in the early seasons of Summer House, quickly became a central storyline. As Bravo recounted, Kyle proposed to Amanda aboard a yacht during the show’s third season finale in 2018—a moment that seemed to promise a fairytale ending. Yet, like so many couples during the pandemic era, their plans hit unexpected turbulence. The wedding, initially delayed several times due to COVID-19, finally took place in Amanda’s parents’ backyard in Hillsborough, New Jersey, on September 25, 2021. Fans watched the ceremony on the Season 6 finale, cheering for the couple who had weathered so much to reach that day.

But the years that followed were anything but smooth sailing. As the cameras kept rolling, Amanda and Kyle’s relationship was tested by both personal and professional pressures. According to Bravo, Amanda’s Season 10 bio described her as “more grounded, confident and in control of her life than she has in years,” hinting at a newfound independence. Yet it also posed the question: “But under the surface, is there an unhappiness that her housemates can’t see?”

Kyle’s own bio for the upcoming season painted a picture of a man seeking both personal fulfillment and peace at home. “Kyle enters the share house eager for a lighter summer and some much-needed quality time with Amanda, but his growing DJ career continues to cause tension. Working on his relationship and the ever-changing house dynamics, will his hopes for a drama-free summer come true?” Bravo teased.

The answer, it seems, was no. The trailer for Season 10, filmed in 2025, offered a glimpse into the mounting strain. As reported by E! News, Amanda’s frustration with Kyle’s late-night DJ gigs was palpable. “I wanted him to stop going out and partying,” Amanda said in the preview, “and he found a career where he goes out late and parties.” Kyle, for his part, voiced his own sense of alienation: “I played the biggest gig of my life, but Amanda couldn't care less. I don't know what matters to her anymore.”

One incident, in particular, seemed to underscore the growing rift. Kyle reportedly stayed at a fan’s apartment until 6:30 in the morning, prompting Amanda’s close friend Ciara to urge her, “You need to let this motherf--ker know, 'If you treat me this way, I am leaving.'” The tension was no longer just between Amanda and Kyle; it had seeped into the group dynamic, threatening the very foundation of friendships that, as Kyle ominously put it in the trailer, “go back 10 plus years. You'd like to think some of these relationships are unshakable. But, in the blink of an eye, everything can change.”

Despite the storm clouds gathering on screen, the couple tried to present a united front off camera. In an interview with Access Hollywood published November 14, 2025, Kyle dismissed rumors that he and Amanda were living separately. “We are very much still together,” he insisted. “It’s unfortunate that whatever rumor comes out just before [BravoCon]. It’s a little bit of a cloud.” Yet, even in that interview, he acknowledged the challenges they faced. “We are not perfect,” Kyle said. “We’ve never tried to portray a perfect couple. We wear it all on our sleeve. 10 years in and four years into marriage, all on camera—it hasn't been easy.”

For viewers, the dissolution of Amanda and Kyle’s marriage marks the end of an era for Summer House. Their journey, from courtship to engagement, through wedding postponements and pandemic stress, and finally to marriage, was chronicled in detail across the show’s seasons. Their story resonated with fans because of its authenticity—their willingness to share not just the romantic highs, but the messy, complicated lows as well.

The timing of their announcement, just ahead of the Season 10 premiere on February 3, 2026, ensures that their breakup will be a central topic of conversation both on and off screen. According to Bravo, episodes will be available to stream the next day on Peacock, giving fans immediate access to the latest chapter of the couple’s saga. More of Amanda and Kyle’s journey will also be featured on an upcoming new Bravo show, promising even deeper insight into what went wrong—and perhaps, what comes next.

Their split also places them among a growing list of celebrity couples who have called it quits in recent months. As E! News detailed, high-profile breakups have become almost routine in the world of reality television and Hollywood. From Amy Schumer and Chris Fischer to Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, the pressures of public life—and, in many cases, the relentless scrutiny of cameras—can take a heavy toll.

Yet, for Amanda and Kyle, the end comes not with scandal, but with a plea for understanding. Their statement, echoed across social media and entertainment outlets, was clear: “We share this with a heavy heart and kindly ask for your grace and support while we focus on our personal growth and healing.” It’s a sentiment that, for all the drama and spectacle of reality TV, rings deeply human.

As the tenth season of Summer House approaches, fans will no doubt tune in with a mix of curiosity and sadness, eager to see how the couple’s final months together play out. For Amanda Batula and Kyle Cooke, the next chapter may be unwritten, but their place in reality television history is secure.
