Amanda Batula and Kyle Cooke‘s separation has remained a prominent topic within the Summer House franchise. The long-term partners declared their parting in January 2026, concluding four years of matrimony, and asserted that the resolution was reached cordially after extensive deliberation.
Subsequently, Amanda has initiated a new relationship with co-star West Wilson, although their romance has ignited its own share of conflicts. Other cast members have questioned the timing of their courtship, and accusations have surfaced regarding West’s entanglement with another individual during the period they commenced dating.
Notwithstanding their dissolution, Amanda and Kyle have maintained a public image of unity, even appearing together at the premiere of In the City in May 2026. This appearance prompted considerable speculation among fans. Concurrently, both In the City and the Summer House season 10 reunion special have provided viewers with a more intimate perspective on the strains within their union, revealing fresh insights into the obstacles they encountered prior to their ultimate decision to separate.
Below, Hollywood Life provides a comprehensive overview of all the information gathered regarding Amanda and Kyle’s separation.
When Did Kyle Cooke & Amanda Batula Start Dating?
Kyle and Amanda commenced their relationship in 2015, but their bond intensified significantly in 2017, as they began sharing their journey with the Summer House audience.
Why Did Amanda & Kyle Break Up?
Initially, Kyle and Amanda attributed their separation to “much reflection,” but they have since elaborated on the underlying issues that precipitated the end of their marital union.
In their January 2026 joint statement announcing their split, the former couple conveyed, “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.”

Kyle and Amanda further added, “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.”
Since then, Amanda and Kyle have spoken about growing apart, difficulties in communication, and persistent dissatisfactions that accumulated over the years. During the reunion, Amanda indicated that New Year’s Day 2026 marked a pivotal moment for her. While Kyle was engaged in DJing, Amanda spent the holiday in solitude, a situation that led her to realize she no longer desired such a future.
“The nail in the coffin was New Year’s Day for me… Kyle and I were bickering, whatever, I didn’t go to New Year’s with him. I spent it by myself, he spent it DJing at a restaurant, whatever. I woke up the next morning, I saw that he was at a hotel in Hoboken, [New Jersey],” she recounted. “I’m going into 2026 wanting to have a fresh start, and he’s doing the same s*** that he was doing that was pissing me off before.”
The former spouses also disclosed during the Summer House season 10 reunion that they abstained from intimacy throughout their entire four-year marriage.
Did Kyle Cheat on Amanda?
Yes, Kyle has confessed to infidelity on multiple occasions in the past, though this was not mentioned in their separation announcement.
Previously, Kyle admitted to betraying Amanda’s trust in 2017 and 2018, following three years of their relationship.
Do Amanda & Kyle Have Kids?
No, Amanda and Kyle do not have children together, but they have publicly addressed the subject. Across season 9 of Summer House, the couple appeared to differ on the prospect of starting a family. Kyle voiced concerns regarding infertility, while Amanda offered reassurance, suggesting that not having children “wouldn’t be the end of the world.”
Despite their differing views, Amanda clarified during the April 2025 Summer House reunion that she was “ready to have kids with someone who’s ready to have kids.” Kyle later commented that they would find it difficult to discuss this matter.
As if to add further complexity, Amanda confessed at the 2025 reunion that she was already emotionally disengaged from her relationship with Kyle before their dynamic improved that year.
