Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula Broke Up the Same Day Their Statement Was Released

A big part of the Amanda Batula and West Wilson relationship drama is that Batula is still legally married to her ex, Kyle Cooke, because their divorce has not yet been finalized. When discussing their former relationship, Cooke says that Batula wanted to publish their statement the same day they agreed to breakup. “The nail in the coffin was New Year’s Day for me,” Batula explained on her reasoning for putting the statement out so quickly. “Kyle and I were bickering. I didn’t go to New Year’s with him. I spent it myself; he spent it DJing at a restaurant. I woke up the next morning, [and] I saw that he was in a hotel at Hoboken. I’m going into 2026 wanting to have a fresh start, and he’s doing the same shit that he was doing that was pissing me off before. So, I waited until everyone was back in the office and I contacted Bravo PR immediately and I said, ‘I’m gonna put out a statement because I don’t want people watching this season thinking that Kyle and I are still together after I was treated this way the whole time.’”

Cooke criticized Batula for dating a “fraudulent phony” and a party boy. Batula fought back that she liked going out, but didn’t like going out with Cooke. “I’m single! It’s a different world,” she said. “It wasn’t that he was out every night, it was that he would come home blacked out, and there would be rumors about him all the time… I hated going out with Kyle. He would get so drunk, and we’d get in fights.” While Batula is valid in her feelings about her relationship with Cooke, now that she’s with Wilson, rumors of him being in exclusive relationships and cheating on Meija Moreno with her are resurfacing. Ciara Miller and Cooke both FaceTimed Moreno while filming was on break and teased that they would reveal all the receipts on stage in the next episode.
