Amanda & Kyle: Marriage without intimacy revealed

Amanda Batula and Kyle Cooke have openly discussed the intimate challenges within their marriage during the recent Summer House reunion. The couple disclosed that they did not have sexual relations during their entire four-year marriage, a revelation that became a significant topic of conversation among castmates. Batula attributed this lack of intimacy partly to her struggles with depression, stating that it impacted their relationship severely.

She further explained that their sex life was a subject of discussion even before their 2021 wedding, noting a perceived absence of courtship and dates. Batula felt like an 'object' due to a lack of emotional intimacy and conversation, compounded by her depression and Cooke's continued social activities. Cooke confirmed they were intimate only three times during their marriage, admitting his role in arranging all aspects of their relationship.

The revelations follow their announcement of separation in January after four years of marriage. Engaged in 2018, they married on September 25, 2021. Batula has since begun dating co-star West Wilson, adding another layer to the ongoing drama and discussions within the Summer House cast.
