Fans of ‘Summer House’ have watched Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula’s romance unfold from playful summer flings to a seemingly solid marriage. The couple, who first connected on the show over 10 years ago, tied the knot in a picturesque New Jersey ceremony in September 2021. Yet on January 19, 2026, they shared a joint statement on their Instagram Stories announcing an amicable split, just four years after saying “I do.”In their heartfelt message, the pair wrote, “After considerable reflection, we have amicably and mutually decided to end our relationship as a couple. We share this news with a heavy heart—and kindly request your understanding—and support as we prioritize our individual growth and healing”! They added a poignant note on the irony of seeking privacy after years of opening their lives to cameras: “It feels somewhat ironic to ask for privacy during this period, as we have always endeavored to be—transparent about our relationship. However, your kindness and respect will significantly aid us as we navigate this new chapter”
When did it start
Tensions had simmered publicly for months, fueled by the Season 10 trailer filmed in 2025. Kyle hinted at shifting dynamics, saying, “These friendships span over ten years. You’d hope some of these bonds are unbreakable. Yet, in an instant, everything can shift” (Summer House Season 10 trailer). Amanda voiced frustration over Kyle’s pivot to DJing, noting, “I don’t mind him going out partying, but he pursued a career that involves late nights and parties” (Summer House Season 10 trailer). Kyle countered feelings-of isolation, stating, “I had the biggest [news] of my life, but she seemed indifferent. I’m not sure what matters to her anymore” Rumors of trouble surfaced as early as November 2025, when insiders claimed they were living apart amid ongoing infidelity whispers dating back years. Kyle dismissed divorce talk. Amanda echoed this in December, jokingly posting about her “new house” on Instagram to quash separation claims.
