“I think people will be surprised but also happy to see that Amanda and I are in a good spot,” Cooke shared.

Cooke also addressed reports that the couple had already split long before, explaining that at the time they were still “trying to figure out the best way to give our relationship another shot.”
“And ultimately, we decided we don’t wanna give each other false hope, we don’t wanna give our friends and family false hope, we don’t wanna give fans false hope… There’s no playbook. We were very much on the same page where we knew we needed to create some space… This is not some big surprise,” he added.
