AceShowbiz - Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula, known for their tumultuous yet enduring romance on Bravo's "Summer House", have been under the media microscope recently amid swirling rumors of a potential split.
According to multiple sources, the couple is "very much together" despite the gossip and conjecture. The rumor mill kicked into high gear when fans noticed Batula was conspicuously absent from Cooke's Instagram posts while he attended their former co-star Andrea Denver's wedding in Italy. This absence fueled speculation after the Instagram gossip account Deuxmoi posted a blind item claiming that a "Bravo entrepreneur turned DJ" was spotted getting too close to someone who wasn't his partner during a company event. Followers quickly connected the dots to Cooke, who both runs Loverboy, a canned cocktail company, and has been exploring DJing.
A source close to the couple clarified to that Batula, 32, couldn't attend the wedding due to personal commitments. "While Amanda was sadly not able to make it to Andrea's wedding, they have another destination wedding in Italy this summer and they're looking forward to spending time away together," the insider said. "It's killing Kyle that he can't be with her right now as these rumors circulate."
Adding to the conjecture, Cooke, 41, has faced scrutiny due to his past behavior. Before their 2021 wedding, Cooke had cheated on Batula in 2018, a fact well-documented on their show. This history led some fans to ponder whether another breakup could be imminent, especially given Cooke's late-night partying habits when Batula is home.
Despite the speculation, Cooke recently appeared alongside Batula at the "Watch What Happens Live" 15th anniversary party, with their public appearances and social media interactions suggesting no sign of trouble. The couple even participated in a playful Wendy's advertisement, poking fun at their past disagreements. Batula posted the clip with the caption, "Things I'm thankful for: @wendys breakfast, Beef Sessions with @lisabarlow14 and @imkylecooke's mullet being gone."
