Amanda Batula is speaking out after early-morning photos of her husband, Kyle Cooke, reignited rumors about trouble in their marriage.
The images, which surfaced online amid speculation that the longtime “Summer House” couple may be living separately, show Cooke out at 5:30 a.m. — and, in one eyebrow-raising moment, seemingly drinking a competitor’s brand. The timing couldn’t be more delicate, as Bravo fans brace for season 10 and a trailer that puts the couple’s issues front and center.
Amanda Batula Responds to the Latest Photos of Her Husband
The latest chatter began when photos circulated on TikTok, shared by gabe_duncans_realtor and reposted by @bravobreakingnews on Instagram, allegedly showing Cooke at a fan’s home around 5:30 a.m.
One image included the caption, “ALLEGEDLY: photos of Kyle at the fan’s house where he fell asleep,” while another read, “Help he’s still here.” A third image, reportedly taken at 5:28 a.m., showed Cooke looking at his phone with the caption, “Jamming to his own music.”
Batula did not stay silent. In the comments, she reacted directly, writing, “Believe it or not this is not the night I was referring to.” Her response appeared to clarify that the photos were not tied to the specific incident she referenced in the season 10 trailer, where she accused her husband of sleeping at a fan’s apartment and coming home around 6:30 a.m.
Fueling the online frenzy further, one of the photos appeared to show Cooke shotgunning a Truly — a known competitor to Loverboy, the beverage brand he co-founded. The moment immediately caught the attention of longtime viewers, especially after former castmate Hannah Berner previously suggested her firing from “Summer House” was influenced by a Truly advertisement she did while on the show.
Kyle Cooke Denies Sleeping at a Fan’s Apartment
Following the release of the season 10 teaser, Cooke addressed the situation head-on in a statement shared with People.
“There’s no excuse for staying out as late as I did, but I want to be clear that I did not sleep at a fan’s apartment,” Cooke, 43, said. “I was at an event that Amanda chose not to attend, which moved to a bar and then to an after-party.”
He continued, “I don’t use anything to keep myself wired, so I think I ended up falling asleep on a couch, and suddenly it was almost 6 a.m. Do I regret the situation? Absolutely. But that’s the truth and full extent of what happened.”
The trailer shows tensions escalating between the couple, who married in 2021. Batula expressed concern about Cooke’s lifestyle in a voice-over, saying, “I wanted him to stop going out and partying, and he found a career where he goes out late and parties.” Cooke, meanwhile, suggested he feels unsupported, stating, “I played the biggest gig of my life, and Amanda couldn’t care less. I don’t know what matters to her anymore.”
Rumors about the couple’s living situation intensified after DeuxMoi claimed, “According to several sources Amanda & Kyle are currently living in separate residences and a more permanent is imminent.” Neither Batula nor Cooke has confirmed the report.
Batula, Cooke, Lindsay Hubbard, and Ciara Miller return for season 10 of “Summer House” alongside Carl Radke, Jesse Solomon, and West Wilson.
“Summer House” season 10 premieres Tuesday, February 3, on Bravo.
