Kyle Cooke revealed that he and Amanda Batula broke up the same day they publicly announced their separation — poking holes in her relationship timeline with West Wilson.
“There’s a lot of conspiracy theories thinking that we had split and we held it together for cameras. We split the day we put the statement out,” Cooke confirmed during part two of the “Summer House” Season 10 reunion.
He also claimed that they didn’t have a conversation about ending their marriage until they sat down to write the statement on January 19, and it was posted that same day.
The Loverboy founder further alleged that his now-estranged wife “pushed” him to put out the statement before he could even tell his family about their decision.
While Batula admitted that Cooke’s account was correct, she said that things transpired that way because she had “already made up [her] mind” about their relationship by that point, even if Cooke hadn’t.
“I made up my mind about our separation on New Year’s Day and you know exactly what happened,” she said to her ex.
But the revelation could potentially prove that Wilson and Batula’s “connection” blossomed before she and Cooke were done for good because their co-star Ciara Miller caught the two hanging out two days before the joint statement was posted.
During part one of the explosive reunion, Miller revealed she first started questioning the nature of Batula and Wilson’s relationship when she noticed her former friend’s iPhone location was at her ex’s apartment on January 17.
The model explained that she asked Batula to get drinks with with her and fellow castmate Mia Calabrese, but was ignored, which she thought was odd.
In turn, she checked where Batula was and saw she was at Wilson’s place.
The model had already caught her former bestie in a pretty damning lie on camera, as she read one of their text exchanges about the rumors surrounding Batula’s relationship with Wilson during part one of the reunion, which aired last Tuesday.
While Batula and Wilson remained in the hot seat for most of the “Summer House” Season 10 reunion, part two also shed light on the end of Cooke and Batula’s marriage.
The South Moon Under founder shared that the “nail in the coffin” for her was waking up on New Year’s Day to see Cooke at slept over at a hotel in Hoboken while she spent the night alone in their apartment.
The former couple began dating in 2016 during the first season of “Summer House.” They tied the knot in September 2021.
After going public with their secret romance in March, Batula and Wilson were forced to clarify the timeline of their relationship for their cast mates and viewers, and ultimately confessed to lying about the nature of their situation.
The new lovebirds also faced an onslaught of negative comments from their cast members, namely Miller, over the lies.
At one point, Miller even told the pair that she thinks Batula is perfect for Wilson because she’s never “going to check him on anything.”
“She’s very mute, she’s gonna be that weak figure that he needs and he can always be the star in the relationship,” Miller stated.
Part three of the “Summer House” Season 10 reunion will air June 9.
