Summer House Stars Kyle Cooke And Amanda Batula Split

Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula, stars of Bravo’s hit reality show Summer House, have officially ended their marriage after months of speculation and public scrutiny. The couple, who met during the show’s first season in 2016 and wed in September 2021, announced their split in a joint Instagram Story post on January 19, 2026. Their statement, which quickly made waves among fans and the entertainment press, read: “After much reflection, we have mutually and amicably decided to part ways as a couple. We share this with a heavy heart and kindly ask for your grace and support while we focus on our personal growth and healing.”

Cooke, 43, and Batula, 34, have been a fixture on Summer House since its debut, with viewers following every twist and turn of their relationship — from their early days of dating to their wedding at Batula’s family home in New Jersey, and now to their eventual split. In their announcement, the pair continued, “It feels ironic to ask for privacy at 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.”

The couple’s journey, marked by both public declarations of love and highly visible struggles, has long been a central storyline on the Bravo series. Their marital issues reached new heights in the trailer for Summer House Season 10, released on December 7, 2025. In a particularly dramatic moment, Batula accused Cooke of sleeping at a fan’s apartment and returning home at “like, 6:30 in the morning.” Cooke, who is not only the founder and CEO of a canned alcoholic beverage company but also a traveling DJ, has seen his late-night career choices become a source of tension between the two. As Batula put it in a show teaser, “I wanted him to stop going out and partying, and he found a career where he goes out late and parties.”

Rumors about the couple’s separation had been circulating since late 2025. According to Page Six, a source in November 2025 revealed that Cooke and Batula were living separately and facing a “challenging time” in their relationship, though they were reportedly “not on a break” and “both committed to working on their relationship.” The speculation intensified in December when DeuxMoi, a popular celebrity gossip account, posted on Instagram that “Amanda & Kyle are currently living in separate residences and a more permanent [split] is imminent.”

Batula herself addressed the rumors in a tongue-in-cheek Instagram video, emerging from a toy house and joking, “I just want to confirm the rumors that Kyle and I are living separately. This is my new house, I just wanted to show you guys. This is my new house. It’s small, it’s kinda all I can afford but I decorated for the holidays and I’m really excited. So I could just use your support at this time. And, you know, just some privacy while we figure this out thanks so much.” Despite the humor, her message underlined the couple’s desire for understanding as they navigated their difficulties.

Fans of Summer House have been anything but quiet about the split. Social media buzzed with reactions, many saying the breakup was “a long time coming” given the couple’s on-screen dynamics. Comments ranged from support for Batula (“I’m happy for Amanda. Kyle is immature and selfish. Amanda deserves better,” one fan wrote) to curiosity about how the show would handle the fallout (“What will be interesting is to see how the time is split in the house in the future and the reunion,” another noted). The consensus among many viewers seemed to be that the separation was not a shock.

Adding fuel to the fire, eagle-eyed fans noticed Batula had ditched her wedding ring at an NHL game in early January 2026, sharing photos on social media with a bare left finger. Around the same time, Cooke posted pictures from Christmas celebrations with his family, conspicuously absent of Batula. These details only heightened speculation, with many wondering if a breakup announcement was just around the corner.

The couple’s troubles have not been limited to rumors and social media sleuthing. Batula’s accusation that Cooke spent the night at a fan’s apartment after a DJ gig became a focal point of both the show and the media. Cooke addressed the incident in an interview with People magazine, stating, “Do I regret the situation? Absolutely. But that’s the truth and full extent of what happened.” The honesty, though appreciated by some, did little to quell the sense that the marriage was on shaky ground.

Cooke and Batula’s professional lives have been intertwined as well. Cooke’s alcohol brand has featured Batula as creative and branding director, making their split not just a personal but a business matter. Their ability to maintain a working relationship in the wake of their breakup remains to be seen, as both continue to build their individual brands and careers.

Despite the very public nature of their relationship — and now, their separation — Cooke and Batula have consistently emphasized their commitment to openness with fans. Yet, as their joint statement made clear, there are limits even for reality TV stars. “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 wrote, echoing a sentiment that resonates with anyone who has endured a breakup in the public eye.

As Summer House gears up for its Season 10 premiere on February 3, 2026, viewers are left to wonder just how much of the couple’s breakup will play out on screen. Previews suggest Batula will address Cooke’s alleged flirtatious behavior, but whether the full story will be revealed remains uncertain. One thing is clear: the end of Cooke and Batula’s marriage marks a significant chapter not only in their personal lives, but also in the ongoing saga of reality TV relationships under the microscope.

For now, both Cooke and Batula are asking for space as they focus on healing. Their journey — from reality TV sweethearts to business partners to exes — has captivated viewers for nearly a decade. As they step into separate futures, the world will be watching, but perhaps, for the first time in a long while, from a respectful distance.
