After nearly a year of announcing their split, Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula are reportedly going through a tough situation in their life. Although the former couple initially managed to remain friends, Amanda’s new romance with Summer House castmate, West Wilson, has affected their communication.
Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula’s relationship has become ‘tense’
According to a source who spoke to Us Weekly, Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula initially stayed friends after their separation. However, their bond has taken a few steps back over Amanda’s budding romance with West Wilson. The source also claimed that the communication between Kyle and Amanda hasn’t been great. Meanwhile, they are both aiming to quickly finalize their divorce. In the insider’s words:
“They have taken a few steps back, and their communication hasn’t been great.”
Kyle and Amanda announced their split in January 2026 after four years of their marriage. In fact, they had been together for nearly a decade before calling it quits. According to their joint statement, the former couple mentioned that their decision to separate was mutual and amicable.
However, just two months after their split, Amanda confirmed that she was dating West Wilson. Notably, he was Kyle’s friend and dated Amanda’s friend Ciara in the past. In fact, the announcement left the whole cast and viewers of Summer House in shock.
Several cast members, including Kyle and Ciara, doubted the timeline of Amanda and West’s romance. Ciara admitted she was disappointed with Amanda. Needless to say, West and Amanda’s relationship created a lot of tension between the former friends. Eventually, they left the show before the filming of Season 11.
Recently, a situation has further soured their bond. Some recent news reports claimed that Amanda won’t return for the next season of In The City. Sources mentioned that she was offered a part-time role, but she didn’t want to shoot without West. At the same time, she was seeking an opportunity for a break from reality TV. However, Kyle accused West of “blowing up” his estranged wife’s life and career in an Instagram post. But he later deleted it. Later, Kyle clarified his stance and mentioned:
“Despite our differences, I will always care about Amanda, and when it comes to people I care about, I fight hard. Sometimes too hard. It’s been an emotional and frustrating situation, and I have let those feelings get the better of me at times. But that doesn’t mean my concerns aren’t valid.”
