Summer House Couple Announces Separation After Four Years of Marriage
Fans of the popular reality show Summer House have followed Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula's relationship journey for more than a decade. Viewers watched their romance evolve from casual summer flings to a committed marriage. The couple first connected on the show over ten years ago. They exchanged vows in a beautiful ceremony in New Jersey during September 2021.
Joint Statement Reveals Amicable Split
On January 19, 2026, Kyle and Amanda shared surprising news with their followers. They posted a joint statement on their Instagram Stories announcing their decision to separate. This announcement came just four years after their wedding day.
In their heartfelt message, the couple wrote, "After considerable reflection, we have amicably and mutually decided to end our relationship as a couple." They continued, "We share this news with a heavy heart—and kindly request your understanding—and support as we prioritize our individual growth and healing."
The pair added a poignant note about their unusual situation. They acknowledged the irony of asking for privacy after years of sharing their lives on television. "It feels somewhat ironic to ask for privacy during this period, as we have always endeavored to be transparent about our relationship," they wrote. "However, your kindness and respect will significantly aid us as we navigate this new chapter."
Tensions Simmered Publicly for Months
Signs of trouble in the marriage appeared publicly months before the official announcement. The Season 10 trailer of Summer House, filmed in 2025, highlighted growing strains between the couple.
Kyle hinted at changing dynamics within their relationship during the trailer. He said, "These friendships span over ten years. You'd hope some of these bonds are unbreakable. Yet, in an instant, everything can shift."
Amanda expressed frustration about Kyle's career shift into DJing. She noted, "I don't mind him going out partying, but he pursued a career that involves late nights and parties."
Kyle countered with feelings of emotional distance. He stated, "I had the biggest [news] of my life, but she seemed indifferent. I'm not sure what matters to her anymore."
Rumors Circulated Before Official Announcement
Whispers about marital troubles began circulating as early as November 2025. Insiders claimed the couple was living separately at that time. Persistent rumors about infidelity, dating back several years, added fuel to the speculation.
Kyle publicly dismissed divorce rumors when they first emerged. Amanda also addressed the separation claims in December 2025. She jokingly posted about her "new house" on Instagram to quash the growing speculation about their relationship status.
The couple's decision to end their marriage marks a significant turn for Summer House viewers. Fans invested in their relationship now watch as both individuals embark on separate paths forward.
