Summer House’s Amanda Batula and Kyle Cooke have confirmed their separation after four years of marriage.
On January 19, the couple released a joint Instagram statement announcing their decision to mutually part ways.
“After much reflection, we have mutually and amicably decided to part ways as a couple,” Amanda wrote.
“We share this with a heavy heart and kindly ask for your grace and support while we focus on our personal growth and healing.”
Over the last few years, Kyle and Amanda’s relationship clearly came to a head.
Amanda’s desire to settle down and start a family in the suburbs was overshadowed by Kyle’s dream of becoming a DJ in his 40s.
Just before BravoCon, another wave of rumors hit social media — which Amanda publicly shut down during event panels.
Then came speculation that Amanda was already living separately.
The Speculation
She poked fun at the rumors while attending Lindsay Hubbard’s daughter’s first birthday party.
In a video she posted to Instagram, Amanda exited Gemma’s playhouse, showing off her rumored “new apartment.”
The couple also spent Christmas with their respective families.
While unusual, fans pointed out they’ve done this for the last few holidays.
Amanda concluded the statement by asking for kindness and respect toward both parties during this time.
“It feels ironic to ask for privacy during this time since we’ve always tried to be open and honest about our relationship, but your kindness and respect will go a long way as we try to navigate our next chapter.”
No one goes into a marriage thinking it will end in divorce.
But Amanda deserves the absolute world, and she deserves to be loved by someone who can sit down long enough to give it to her.
Of note: not only are they both on Summer House (which premieres February 3) they’re also core cast on Bravo’s highly anticipated new series, In The City.
