Kyle Cooke is vigorously shooting down rumors about his breakup from Amanda Batula. Almost two months after the stars of "Summer House" announced their separation following a four-year marriage, Kyle addressed the speculation that his infidelity was the reason for their split. "It's tough, there's so much noise," the Loverboy founder shared during a "Watch What Happens Live" interview on March 10. "I feel bad that she's had to deal with that. I can assure you I was not physically or emotionally unfaithful."
When fellow guest Danny Pellegrino grilled Kyle about alleged photos showing him getting close with fans, the 43-year-old insisted, "The pictures I've seen are with people who are my friends that are mistaken for random people."
Despite not being able to save their marriage, Kyle—who previously admitted to cheating on Amanda back in 2018 when they first started dating on the Bravo reality series—gave his ex credit for handling the very public and rumor-ridden breakup in stride. "It takes effort," the Bravolebrity admitted. "I mean, I couldn't open my phone for two months, I was drowning in it. But she's been very supportive. I try to be there for her, especially with some of the rumors she's entangled with. It's not easy, there's no playbook on how to navigate this, but we're trying."
As for if he's jumped back in the dating pool yet, Kyle insisted, "I'm not, no."
In their joint Jan. 19 announcement, Kyle and Amanda called their decision to separate mutual and amicable, despite Amanda voicing concerns over her spouse's party lifestyle and career pivot into DJ-ing on "Summer House's" current 10th season.
For his part, Kyle admitted to growing apart, telling "WWHL" host Andy Cohen, "She was my best friend. We were very different people. Splitting was not something we took lightly. I think there have been red flags and differences for quite some time, but we loved each other."
As for Amanda's take on the drama, she too feels like a weight has been lifted in the wake of their split. "It’s been easier to get along, but we’re good," Amanda said on the Jan. 27 episode of SiriusXM’s Front Row. "We talk all the time. We’re traveling, so I’m watching the dogs. He’s watching the dogs. We’re coparenting the dogs together. I still call him if I have questions."
Watch Kyle and Amanda's relationship drama continue to unfold when "Summer House" airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on Bravo.
