Summer House star Kyle Cooke has seen his estranged wife, Amanda Batula, kissing West Wilson — which might have been a bridge too far.
“Was not prepared to see that,” Cooke, 43, wrote via Threads on Saturday, April 18, responding to the Summer House chain. “And that. And that 🤢.”
Cooke’s costar Mia Calabrese replied, “Kyle, I left you for 1 hour….”
The Bravo show’s thread had been abuzz since Batula, 34, and Wilson, 31, were spotted at the New York Yankees vs. Kansas City Royals baseball game on Friday, April 17. The duo even packed on the PDA when the stadium’s Kiss Cam panned to their seats.
Batula and Cooke were married for four years, announcing in January that they had separated. She confirmed her romance with Wilson just three months later.
“We’ve seen the growing online speculation, so while this is still very new, we wanted to provide some clarity. It was never our intention to purposely hide anything,” West and Batula wrote in a joint statement last month. “Given the complicated relationship dynamics involved and the scrutiny that comes with being on a reality show, we needed a little space to process things privately before speaking on it.”
They continued at the time, “We’ve shown up for each other as friends over the years, through all the highs and lows, and what’s developed recently was the last thing either of us expected. Our connection grew out of a genuine, longstanding friendship, which made it especially important for us to approach this with care.”
Cooke and his Summer House costars were shocked by the reveal, including Ciara Miller. The former nurse, 30, dated Wilson in 2023 and was close friends with Batula. She told Glamour in a Friday profile published before the MLB game that she found out about their decision to go public t less than one hour before the statement was shared online.
“It’s one thing to experience hurt behind closed doors,” Miller told Glamour. “To experience it so publicly is like another layer, and then to have to see what you thought was your life still play out in season 10. It’s a major mindf***.”
As for Cooke, he was recently seen kissing The Real Housewives of Orange County alum Meghan King on Thursday, April 16.
“Kyle didn’t know Meghan prior to being at the same event last night. She had pursued him the second she saw him,” a source exclusively told Us. “It’s nothing serious, but they did hang out all night even after the event was over, and made out several times in public.”
