Amanda Batula on Split: 'Everyone Needs a Prenup'

Amanda Batula appeared on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen on Tuesday, February 4, 2026, to discuss her separation from Cooke. The couple announced their mutual and amicable decision to part ways as a couple on January 19, 2026, after four years of marriage. Batula confirmed to host Andy Cohen that there was no "final straw" leading to the split.

During the interview, Batula openly admitted that she and Cooke did not have a prenuptial agreement. She expressed regret over this, stating, "Everyone needs a prenup." While she believes they will be financially alright, she acknowledged the potential for complications.

Despite the separation, Batula described their current relationship as "great." She shared that Cooke gave a sentimental shout-out at their Summer House season 10 premiere party, bringing many to tears and indicating that "a lot of love still there." They reportedly speak multiple times a week.

When asked about a potential reconciliation, Batula stated it's possible but unlikely in the near future. A source previously told Us Weekly that relationship issues had been building for months, with the couple deciding to separate in the fall of 2025. The source indicated that Batula felt unheard and exhausted, as Cooke continued to prioritize late nights and partying, not understanding her needs.

Cooke also addressed the split in a January 22, 2026 TikTok video, noting that he and Batula pushed the "send" button on their joint statement together. He acknowledged the difficulty of having their relationship fully documented on television but reassured viewers that they were in a good place and that the decision was not a surprise, having been made together after realizing they were on different pages and wanted different things.
