“Summer House” season 10 kicked off on Feb. 3, with the cast coming together for a premiere party to celebrate the milestone season.

In a clip obtained by Us Weekly, Kyle Cooke, who has appeared on all 10 seasons, delivered a heartfelt speech thanking the network and everyone who helped make “Summer House” a reality TV success. He also took a moment to give a special shoutout to Amanda Batula, with the couple having recently announced their separation on Jan. 19.

“Through all the ups and downs, you stood by my side,” Kyle said with Us Weekly noting that he choked up when he mentioned Amanda by name. “I am forever grateful to have shared so many memories. This season is more bitter than sweet for us, but I’m confident we will both find happiness, whatever that looks like.”

He then joked, “And yes, I will still help you with your taxes.”

Batula later appeared on “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen” after the episode premiered, where she touched on her former husband’s “sentimental” speech.

“We just had our [‘Summer House’ season 10] premiere party. He gave me a very sentimental shout-out. He had a lot of people in tears. There’s a lot of love still there,” she shared.

Batula also revealed that she and Cooke broke up “just before” BravoCon, which took place in November 2025.

As the cast began their press tour for the new season, Batula and Cooke were extremely open about their relationship and where it stands following their separation announcement. During a chat with Kiki Monique for SiriusXM’s Front Row, Batula shared, “It’s … easier to get along. But we’re good. We talk all the time. We’re both traveling. So I’m watching the dogs. He’s watching the dogs. We’re coparenting the dogs together. Still call him if I have questions.”

In the same interview, Cooke admitted that “a weight has been lifted” as they navigate the end of their marriage.

“Every step we’ve taken, there’s a little bit of, like, a weight has been lifted,” he said. “And ironically, I feel like this last week, having kind of pressed post together, it felt like we were a little more lighthearted.” He added, “I mean, look, more than anything, I want her to be happy. I want us both to be happy.”

The first episode of “Summer House” season 10 dove straight into Batula and Cooke’s relationship challenges when the couple chose not to drive to the Hamptons together. As the night unfolded, Batula was seen opening up to Ciara Miller about the strain in her marriage, while Carl Radke didn’t hold back, raising pointed questions about Cooke’s lifestyle and how it was affecting his marriage.

Fans can expect to see more of their relationship play out as the season progresses.
