Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula, stars of Summer House, have publicly announced their amicable decision to part ways after four years of marriage. The couple shared their news via a joint statement on Instagram in January 2026, requesting grace and support during their personal healing.
Despite the separation, Cooke and Batula maintain a friendship, describing their dynamic as one where they "laugh and joke around." They appeared together at a 92NY event for the show's season 10 premiere, discussing their transition.
Their shared responsibility extends to their two rescue dogs, Reese and Ryder, whom they are co-parenting. Batula noted the dogs are happy and enjoy alternating between time together and alone, much like their mother.
Cooke expressed the difficulty of public breakups but highlighted Batula's supportive presence. They feel they have grown closer and can "laugh a little bit more" as they embrace this "next chapter," indicating a sense of relief.
The pair first met in 2015, with their relationship developing on Summer House. They weathered public admissions of infidelity and arguments over living situations before eventually marrying in September 2021, after a COVID-19 related delay. The news of their split follows reports of them not spending New Year's Eve 2025 together.
