Kyle Cooke Breaks Silence on Ex Amanda Batula, West Wilson’s Romance

by

Kyle Cooke isn’t losing sleep over Amanda Batula’s new romance.

After his soon-to-be ex-wife publicly confirmed she’s dating her Summer House colleague, West Wilson, the founder of Loverboy finally spoke out about the surprising news.

Kyle shared his concerns about Amanda in a TikTok video with journalist Adam Glyn on April 1st. He explained that he spoke with her before and after her public statement, and while he doesn’t excuse any wrongdoing, he believes she’s currently being heavily cyberbullied. He acknowledged people have different viewpoints but wanted to express his worry for her well-being.

Although he cares about his ex-wife, Amanda, whom he was married to for four years before they split in January, he doesn’t feel the same way about West.

He explained that, from what he can tell, West is dating several women simultaneously. Despite this, around 50,000 people are choosing to support him online, while Amanda is receiving a lot of criticism. He feels sorry for how unfairly Amanda is being treated.

Some viewers are upset about the new relationship between the costars because West used to date Amanda’s close friend, Ciara Miller. However, Kyle believes the negative reaction from fans is unwarranted.

He said his ex-girlfriend, Amanda, realizes she made a mistake and is struggling to deal with it, but she’s currently not doing well.

Kyle admitted he wasn’t sure exactly when Amanda and West’s relationship began, saying he’d been trying to assume the best as rumors circulated. He described learning about their relationship – which they publicly announced in a joint statement on March 31st – as incredibly shocking and upsetting.

Kyle admitted it made him rethink a lot about what happened last summer, especially how distant she seemed at the time.

Amanda and West addressed the recent controversy surrounding their relationship in an Instagram post on March 31st. They explained that they weren’t trying to be secretive, but needed time to sort through a complicated situation privately, especially given the public attention that comes with being on a reality TV show.

“It really makes me rethink a lot of what happened last summer,” Kyle said. “At the very least, it shows how distant she was.”

Amanda and West addressed the drama surrounding the love triangle in a joint statement on Instagram on March 31st. They explained that they didn’t mean to keep anything secret, but needed some time to sort through their complicated feelings privately, especially given the pressure of being on a reality show.

We’ve been friends for a long time, supporting each other through everything life has thrown our way. This recent development in our relationship was a complete surprise to both of us. Because our connection started with such a strong and established friendship, we knew we had to handle things carefully.

As a longtime supporter, I really understood what Amanda and West meant when they said they never intended for this to affect anyone beyond themselves. They genuinely didn’t want to cause pain or seem insensitive, and I truly appreciate them asking for understanding and respect as they work through this. It felt very sincere and heartfelt.

Here’s a detailed look at everything that happened before the Summer House love triangle became a scandal.

Amanda and West ended by saying they understand this situation has only affected them personally and they never intended to cause any pain or seem insensitive. They expressed gratitude for the understanding and respect shown to them as they work through this.

Here’s a detailed look at everything that happened before the Summer House love triangle became a scandal.

Ciara Miller and West Wilson found love on the set of Summer House season eight in 2023, and their connection continued off-screen in real life.

However, their romance wouldn’t last long, with the costars breaking up at the end of that year.

The difficult breakup created tension at the summer house for the next two years, as Ciara wrestled with whether to forgive the sports reporter for hurting her and potentially try to rebuild their relationship.

After a rocky four-year marriage, Amanda Batula and Kyle Cooke have decided to separate, just before the tenth season of their Bravo series is set to premiere in 2026.

The longtime co-stars announced on Instagram on January 19th that they have decided to separate. They shared a joint statement saying the decision was mutual and made with kindness, and they asked for privacy and support as they each focus on their own well-being and healing.

Amanda and Kyle, who got married in September 2021, shared that it feels strange to ask for privacy, as they’ve always been open about their relationship. However, they asked for kindness and respect as they begin a new chapter in their lives.

The show gave viewers an intimate look at the couple’s struggles as their relationship fell apart.

Rumors of a romance between Amanda and West started circulating quickly after the gossip blog Deuxmoi reported on March 5th that the two actors were seen looking cozy together in New York City.

Addressing rumors about their connection, West dismissed the speculation during a March 24th appearance on Watch What Happens Live. He explained that she was recently single and that he was simply showing her around New York, as he had done with others she’d dated before. He stated, “She’s single now and it happened already to other people she’s hung out with. We were just hanging out in New York. She’s single now, I gotta show her the streets a little.”

The journalist said, “She’s a close friend – someone I really care about a lot.”

After news spread about a possible relationship between West and Amanda, some of their colleagues offered their reactions.

On March 29th, Carl Radke posted a confused-looking photo to his Instagram Stories. Lindsay Hubbard and KJ Dillard followed suit, sharing similar expressions of confusion on their own social media accounts.

Austen Kroll, another reality TV star and a friend to several cast members of Summer House, appeared to weigh in on the drama. On March 29th, he posted to his Instagram Stories, “Apparently, dating your friends’ exes and eating pasta are both trendy again.”

Amanda and West publicly confirmed the rumors in a joint statement on Instagram on March 31st.

We never meant to keep our relationship a secret,” they explained in a message on Instagram Stories. “Because things were complicated, and we knew being on a reality show meant everyone would be watching, we needed some time to figure things out privately before talking about it.

We understand this situation has only affected us and we never intended to cause any pain or seem irresponsible. We’re grateful for your understanding and respect as we work through this.

Just as West and Amanda revealed they were dating, Ciara was seen in New York City with a friend who was offering her support. She also started getting messages of encouragement from friends and colleagues on social media, as people within the Bravo TV community began choosing sides in the dramatic love triangle.

Amanda’s soon-to-be ex-husband, Kyle Cooke, appeared to make light of their ongoing issues by posting a selfie with Ciara on Instagram on March 30th.

As a huge fan of both Ciara and the Summer House crew, I loved seeing all the support she’s getting! Paige DeSorbo left the sweetest comment on her Instagram, simply saying “Ur perfect,” and Lindsay Hubbard and Dara Levitan clearly have her back too. Lindsay commented “Perfection,” and Dara chimed in with “And that’s how you do it.” It’s so great to see the girls rallying around her!
