Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula are no strangers to sharing their issues on screen. The Summer House duo are veteran cast members, and fans have seen the highs and lows over the years. Recently, it’s felt a bit more of the latter.
In Season 8, the couple fought over Amanda feeling professionally unfulfilled and Kyle’s reluctance to leave the city. Filming ended with little resolution, but the duo recently revealed that they’e been putting in the work to fix their relationship.
Amanda Batula said she and Kyle Cooke have “learned a lot” from watching themselves on the show
“There’s s a lot under the rug,” Kyle exclusively told Us Weekly. The Loverboy founder and his wife were at Bravo’s Fan Fest in Miami over the weekend. Amanda told the news publication that it was “tough” to deal with certain marital issues.
“I mean, we’ve gone to therapy. We’ve worked on ourselves,” shared said. “It’s very eye-opening getting to watch yourself back [on TV] and see how you handle different situations. So, we’ve learned a lot and have grown from it. We’re still working on it.”
Watching himself react on screen has brought clarity for Kyle, who felt “validated” by what he saw. Though, the Bravolebrity admitted that he doesn’t generally “handle things very well.”
“We’re so on different pages,” Amanda said. “Watching it back sometimes is a nightmare.”
However, being on a reality TV show has been a net positive for the couple. Amanda still feels excited to be in the share house with her friends.
“Individually, the memories that we get to make,” Amanda said at the Miami event. “I mean, being 33 and sharing a house with some of your best friends? Having these experiences is not something that people get to do or would do. I mean, again, we’re in our 30s and 40s, and you wouldn’t really share a house together like this. Being able to have these moments to look back on and these experiences is something that’s really special.”
Her husband also praised the “incredible platform.” Certainly, the exposure has been helpful for their business. Kyle, for one, feels “very lucky to be a part of it.”
