Amanda Batula

Fans of Summer House may have expected Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula’s marriage to be officially over by now. But nine months after the reality TV couple announced their separation, the two have still not filed for divorce. Cooke recently explained why the legal process has moved so slowly—and his answer offers a surprisingly calm look at where he and Batula stand today. The Summer House star opened up about the situation during an interview with E! News, revealing that both he and Batula have simply been busy while working through the details of ending their marriage. ([E!

According to the reality star, he and Batula have been focused on their own lives and have not yet completed the necessary conversations and arrangements. Rather than suggesting there is a dramatic legal battle, Cooke characterized the delay as a combination of timing, logistics and the emotional difficulty that comes with formally ending a marriage. He admitted that neither person has been rushing into those difficult discussions. The couple will eventually make their separation official, but for now, their divorce remains unfinished. Kyle Says They Will Eventually Make It Official Although Cooke and Batula have moved in different directions, Kyle made it clear that the lack of divorce paperwork does not necessarily mean they are reconsidering their breakup. He indicated that they expect to eventually complete the process and sign the necessary documents. For Summer House viewers, that distinction is important. Being legally married is currently different from being romantically together. The pair announced their separation in January 2026 after four years of marriage and nearly a decade together.

The Loverboy founder said he entered the latest Summer House season feeling genuinely single and described the change as freeing. After years of relationship stress, Cooke said he felt as though a weight had been lifted. He also suggested that filming the new season allowed him to relax, enjoy himself and reconnect with the spirit of the show. That new outlook has also influenced his dating life. Cooke has openly embraced what he jokingly described as his “Hot Boy Summer,” while enjoying travel, filming and the opportunities that have come with his new chapter. Amanda Batula Has Also Moved On Amanda Batula’s romantic life has changed dramatically since her split from Cooke. The former couple’s breakup was followed by Batula developing a relationship with their Summer House costar West Wilson. The relationship became particularly complicated because Wilson previously dated Amanda’s close friend Ciara Miller. Batula and Wilson confirmed in March 2026 that their connection had evolved beyond friendship. ([AOL.com][2]) Their relationship has since become another major storyline surrounding the Summer House cast. Meanwhile, Cooke has remained focused on his own future rather than rushing through the divorce process. A Very Different Chapter for the Former Couple Cooke and Batula’s relationship was one of the longest-running romances connected to Summer House. Viewers watched their relationship develop from dating to engagement and eventually marriage. Their split therefore marked a significant change for the Bravo reality series. But Cooke’s latest comments suggest that the former couple is not necessarily locked in a bitter divorce battle. Instead, both appear to be moving forward separately while handling the practical side of officially ending their marriage. For Cooke, the current chapter seems to be about independence, dating and rediscovering himself. For Batula, her relationship with Wilson has placed her at the center of a completely different kind of Summer House drama. What’s Next for Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula? For now, Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula remain separated but not officially divorced. Cooke says the legal process will eventually happen, even if neither of them appears eager to rush it. That means Summer House fans may have to wait a little longer for the final paperwork—and potentially more revelations about their relationship along the way. With Cooke embracing single life and Batula continuing her new romance with Wilson, both stars appear ready to move into the next phase of their lives, even if their marriage has not yet reached its official legal ending.Source: E!
