Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula’s relationship appears to be evolving four years after getting married.
Despite a report claiming the Summer House stars are living separately, a source close to the couple tells Us Weekly exclusively that’s not the case.
“They are going through a challenging time,” the insider says, adding that despite any struggles they are “both committed to making the relationship work.”
Us has reached out to Bravo for comment.
Cooke, 43, and Batula, 34, were most recently spotted enjoying a merry night together at the Amazon Home for the Holidays event in New York City on Thursday, November 6. The duo are expected to appear at BravoCon 2025 at the Caesars Forum in Las Vegas on Friday, November 14, through Sunday, November 16.
Summer House’s Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula’s Relationship Timeline
Fans met Cooke and Batula when they helped launch Summer House in 2017. Viewers watched the couple get engaged in season 3 before they tied the knot in September 2021 in New Jersey.
Costar Carl Radke served as the officiant of the wedding, which was featured on season 6 of the reality show.
“Happy anniversary to my beautiful wife, my partner, my better half,” Cooke wrote via Instagram in September 2023 when celebrating two years of marriage. “Looking back on this perfect day, it’s hard to imagine it any other way. #iloveyou #happyanniversary.”
The couple, however, has been open and honest about the highs and lows of their relationship over the years.
Ahead of Summer House’s season 8 premiere in February 2024, Cooke exclusively told Us that he and Batula were in a state of “in between” as they debated moving out of New York City in hopes of raising children outside a major city.
“We’re just trying to find our way and navigating all that with the show and an insanely stressful business that I’m running. It’s a lot,” he said. “I feel like dogs inadvertently kind of slowed down our baby making. … So we’re just taking it one day at a time.”
Two months later, Batula exclusively told Us that she took a “slight step back” from Cooke’s Loverboy company “for the sake of our relationship.”
While Batula said she was “still very much involved” in the company, she added, “I think we needed a little bit of that separation for now. … This seems to be working for us right now.”
Regardless of any speed bumps, the pair appeared to put on a united front during life’s biggest milestones.
In September, Cooke celebrated his 4-year wedding anniversary to Batula with dinner at Chelsea Living Room in New York City.
“💒 Greetings from our 4 year wedding anniversary,” he wrote via Instagram on September 25. “Now on to the main course ❤️.”

While Batula didn’t mark the milestone on her main feed, she did celebrate Cooke’s birthday with a post one month earlier.
“Everybody go wish Mr. Batula a happy birthday #43,” she captioned an Instagram post on August 4.
Bravo fans are hoping for an official announcement regarding season 10 of Summer House at BravoCon. Previously, Paige DeSorbo, Imrul Hassan and Lexi Wood confirmed they would not be returning for another season.
