Amanda Batula is happily single after her split from husband Kyle Cooke, but that doesn’t mean she’s ready to mingle — at least with any of her Summer House costars.
“There’s also mixed opinions on whether or not me and Jesse [Solomon] should get together,” Batula, 34, revealed in Us Weekly’s exclusive sneak peek at her Monday, March 9, appearance on the “Trading Secrets” podcast hosted by Jason Tartick.
Batula confirmed to Tartick, 37, that a romance with Solomon, 32, was a non-starter after her recent breakup. (Batula and Solomon have a seemingly flirtatious relationship, which fans have continually pointed out.)
“It’s not going to happen. I’m not touching any of my cast members,” Batula said with a laugh. “Love them dearly, but I’m good.”
Batula and Cooke, 43, confirmed their split in January after months of speculation that there was trouble in paradise.
The estranged couple began dating in summer 2015, which fans of Summer House saw play out on season 1 of the series. Cooke proposed in September 2018 after confessing earlier that year that he blacked out and cheated on Batula with a random girl.

Despite Batula’s frustration with Cooke over the infidelity she accepted his proposal and the pair tied the knot in September 2021.
In fall 2025, rumors surfaced that Cooke and Batula were living separately although they attended BravoCon together that November in Las Vegas.
“After much reflection, we have mutually and amicably decided to part ways as a couple,” Batula and Cooke said in a joint social media statement in January, confirming their separation after four years of marriage. “We share this with a heavy heart and kindly ask for your grace and support while we focus on our personal growth and healing.”
Fans have since started to see the cracks in Batula and Cooke’s relationship on season 10 of Summer House, which premiered in February.
When Did Amanda Batula and Kyle Cooke Split? Timeline Revealed
While the pair are not divorced, Batula has spoken out about moving forward with her life, telling Marie Claire earlier this month that she feels like she’s “on cloud nine” and “unstoppable” since the breakup.
“I am manifesting a boyfriend, but just a boyfriend. No one who’s looking for anything serious,” Batula told the magazine, adding that she wants to “have fun” with someone her “age or younger,” since she’s “always dated older.”
During Us’ preview of Batula’s appearance on the “Trading Secrets,” she reflected on how fans have responded to the news of her and Cooke’s split, revealing “nothing crazy” has transpired.
She shared that she’s received, “Just a lot of, like, ‘Congratulations,’ which is a weird response to someone’s breakup. People [are] just congratulating me. I don’t know.”

Batula added that she’s “not mad about it,” but confessed, “I just don’t think I was expecting, like, ‘Congratulations.’ Or a lot of, ‘We saw this coming.’”
She laughed, revealing, “My favorites are, like, [when people say], ‘And the sky is blue.’ I’m like, ‘Guys, you know, I get it.’”
