Kyle Cook and Amanda Batula have officially announced their retirement.
“After much consideration, we have mutually and amicably made the decision to separate as a couple,” the “Summer House” stars jointly announced in an Instagram Story post on Monday.
“It is with heavy hearts that we share this and we kindly ask for your blessings and support as we focus on personal growth and healing,” they continued.
“We have always tried to be open and honest about our relationship, so it feels ironic to ask for privacy during this time, but your kindness and respect will go a long way as we move into our next chapter.”
Cook, 43, and Batula, 34, began dating during the first season of “Summer House” in 2016. They married in September 2021 at her family’s home in New Jersey.
Viewers have witnessed the pair’s ups and downs since Cook admitted to having an affair with Batula shortly before they got engaged in 2018.
Rumors of infidelity continued to haunt them, and the couple repeatedly stuck to a united front.
Page Six reported in November 2025 that a source exclusively told the Bravolebr couple that they may be headed for divorce soon, claiming they are living apart while going through a “difficult period” in their relationship.
However, a source at the time insisted they were “not on a break” and were “both committed to repairing their relationship.”
Cook and Batula’s marital issues were a central topic of Bravo’s Summer House season 10 trailer, which was released on December 7, 2025. In a notable incident, Batula accused Cook of sleeping in a fan’s apartment and coming home “about 6:30 in the morning.”
Mr. Cook is the founder and CEO of his own canned alcoholic beverage company and serves as creative and branding director at Batula. He is now also a traveling DJ, which caused a conflict between him and Batula.
“I wanted him to stop going out and partying, but he found a career where he stayed out late and partyed,” Batula said in the show’s teaser.
In recent years, it has become apparent that the two have different ideas about where to live and when to start a family.
