Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula’s relationship tension was obvious from the moment they first appeared on screen during Summer House season 10 — and it only got more awkward between them from there.
“Alright, don’t forget about me this summer,” Kyle told Amanda during the February 3, 2026, episode, which was filmed in July 2025, six months before the pair announced their split in January 2026 after four years of marriage.
Amanda didn’t skip a beat in the episode, replying, “Who?” There was a big pause as Kyle stared at Amanda in their car before a big, mischievous smile came across her face.
The pair continued to butt heads throughout the premiere — and the remainder of the season — over little things like Kyle saying “model” instead of “models” to bigger problems like Kyle taking issue with Amanda going nearly nude during a pool party moment.

Scroll down for the most cringe moments on Summer House season 10 between Kyle and Amanda:
Boy, Bye
“Are you going to miss me?” Kyle asked Amanda as she dropped her off with Ciara Miller during the Summer House season premiere. “No,” Amanda quipped.
Kyle backpeddled, saying, “Actually this is healthy,” referring to Amanda driving with the girls and him taking all the boys out to the Hamptons.
“Why are you freaking out? You’re acting like I’m going off to college,” Amanda said. Kyle then jokingly replied, “I’m so proud of you.”
After Amanda got into the car with Ciara, Kyle rolled down his window and waved at her as she drove off. “He’s so distraught that I chose to drive out with different people,” Amanda teased.
Grammar Police
As Kyle told the crew that his “friend Ben also model.” Amanda cut him off and corrected him that it’s “models.” Kyle took pause and then repeated after Amanda, “models,” as the rest of the group went silent.
No Wedding Band Pact
During the first house dinner, Kyle revealed, “We forgot our hardware,” pointing out that he and Amanda were not wearing their wedding bands.
“Kyle lost his wedding ring and I said, ‘I’m not wearing mine until he gets a new one,’” Amanda said in rebuttal.
Jesse Solomon joked, “It’s OK, you guys can cosplay as single.”
Amanda Isn’t Listening
When the topic of Kyle’s DJ career came up during night 1, Amanda claimed it “started” after she shared she wanted to start her own business. “He got so mad about it that he decided he wanted to be a DJ to spite me,” she alleged.
“My wife never asks me questions and now she’s actually just not listening, it’s great,” Kyle told the group.
Amanda then started to mock her husband, saying, “Guys, I’m so jealous it takes over my whole body. … Did you say, jealous?”
Kyle replied, “No, I was just saying you weren’t listening.”
Test 1, 2, 3
As Kyle prepared for his DJ set at the group’s 4th of July party during episode 1, Amanda’s frustration over his latest career move was evident.
“This is a test,” Kyle said while setting up his DJ table. Amanda didn’t skip a beat, mumbling under her breath, “… Of my patience.”
Elsewhere during the premiere, Amanda told newbies Bailey Taylor and Levi Sebree that she and Kyle had been married for “four very long years.” Amanda then explained that she did “not 100 percent” support Kyle’s DJ aspirations.

Kyle Is Fading Away Into the Background
“Every summer Amanda makes me feel like I don’t exist,” Kyle claimed during the season premiere. “She just doesn’t f*** with me.”
The Loverboy founder later confided in Carl Radke that he was “not well” amid his and Amanda’s relationship issues.
“It feels like you guys are drifting,” Carl said, before asking his friend, “Are you happy?”
Kyle confessed, “Where I’m happy is showing people a good time and pressing play,” referring to his job. Carl then claimed that’s because “you’re getting attention.”
During the group’s first party, Kyle also told some of his other friends, “I’m freaked out that we’re so polar opposite,” when asked about his and Amanda’s current dynamic. “She never tries to make an effort,” he alleged.
Kyle Blows His Top Over Amanda Being Topless
At the end of episode 1, Amanda stripped down to her bra and underwear and joined the majority of her housemates for a dip in the pool. As she started to get out of the water, Kyle realized that she was barely clothed — Amanda’s bra was a nude color adding to the illusion that she wasn’t wearing clothes.
“You went naked?” Kyle asked, seemingly annoyed by Amanda’s choice. Amanda fired back, “No, I have clothes on.”
Kyle called Amanda’s attire “absurd,” as she questioned whether he was “mad.”
“That would’ve been fun if you, like, told me you were getting skinny,” Kyle explained. (Earlier in the episode Amanda revealed that she met newbie Ben Waddell while skinny-dipping in Italy, when Kyle was present. However, the story seemingly caused Kyle to overreact by the pool.)
Amanda insisted that they were “all in the pool together,” Kyle included. “You were the one topless,” he yelled back.
“I’m not topless,” Amanda said. Kyle proceeded to walk off toward the house, calling the incident “just unbelievable.”
Summer House airs on Bravo Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET.
