Amanda Batula and Kyle Cooke From Bravo’s Summer House Are Getting Divorced

It’s a sad day in Loverboy Land: Summer House couple Amanda Batula and Kyle Cooke are getting a divorce.

“After much reflection, we have mutually and amicably decided to part ways as a couple,” the pair wrote in a joint Instagram Story posted on January 19. “We share this with a heavy heart and kindly ask for your grace and support while we focus on our personal growth and healing.”

The post concluded, “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.”

The couple’s entire courtship was captured on the Bravo reality series, from the beginnings of their relationship in season one (where Cooke adamantly said he didn’t want a girlfriend for the summer, but kept inviting Batula over anyway) to their 2018 engagement in the season three finale and their 2021 wedding in the season six finale.

But the camera also captured the hardships in their relationship, and the couple didn’t shy away from sharing their struggles with the world. Cooke admitted on camera to cheating on Batula, which led to her struggling with trust issues for several years. They got into blow-up fights, and they both cried on camera many, many times over their struggles.

Despite what viewers saw on TV though, Amanda Batula previously told Glamour that the drama that aired on Summer House and the subsequent chatter about their relationship didn’t bother her, because she knew the reality behind the scenes. “I know who I am with my friends and my husband and my family and our people,” she said in May 2023. “And whatever is being shown online, how people feel about it, is just a version, a small snippet of who we really are.”

In the most recent season, the couple faced new challenges. Batula was more than ready to move onto a new chapter of their lives, hoping to move out of New York City and buy a house in the suburbs, preferably in New Jersey close to her parents. She wanted to start a family, which she told Glamour would also mean it would be time to move on from the show. “We’re not letting the show dictate our lives or our future; we’re both not ready to have kids,” she said in 2023. “But when we are, that’s it for us, and that’s okay.”
