Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula’s September 2021 wedding will be featured on the sixth season of “Summer House.” While speaking to E! News in January 2022, the married couple shared that they had some relationship issues leading up to their nuptials during the production of season 6.
The publication noted that in season 6, episode 1, Batula got upset when she could not contact Cooke, who was out at a party. After he did not answer dozens of her phone calls, she threw his toiletries on the bathroom floor and placed his luggage outside the home. She also started sobbing and admitted to her housemates Paige DeSorbo and Ciara Miller that she was concerned her now-husband would cheat on her while inebriated. As fans of “Summer House” are aware, Cooke confessed to being unfaithful while filming season 3.
During the E! News interview, Batula shared she did not stand by her behavior.
“Obviously I’ve had a few outbursts over the years and I don’t like to watch it because I’m not proud of how I acted or how I handled the situation or how upset I got and I am embarrassed by it. So it’s not something that I like sit there and watch with a smile on my face and I’m like, ‘You go girl!’ I’m like, ‘Ohhhh, it’s a little cringy,’” revealed Batula.
Cooke also revealed that he had difficulty watching his issues with his wife play out on the show.
“We try to forget that the cameras are there and we kind of show it all and share it all and sometimes that’s a bit hard to watch. I think at the end of the day, we’re just a relatively normal couple, but you know, factor in various stresses in life—wedding planning, working together, the pandemic, drinking—it just kind of started to mushroom,” stated the Loverboy founder.
