Summer House star Kyle Cooke has admitted to “stepping out” while married to Amanda Batula.
The bombshell was dropped during part two of the hit Bravo series’ three-part season 10 reunion which filmed in April and aired Tuesday night on Bravo. Cooke, 43, and Batula, 34, announced their separation in January after four years of marriage. Their relationship has been well-documented on all 10 seasons of Summer House.
Host Andy Cohen asked Cooke point blank: “Since you’ve been married to Amanda, have you been faithful to her?”
Cooke responded: “There has been times when I have been out and I’ve been inappropriate. I’ll admit it. Did I ever have an affair? No. Did I ever sleep with someone? No. Have I been complete starved and deprived of anything and everything from you? Yeah, and I’ve acted out.”
Batula added: “He has stepped out of the marriage while we were together.”
She elaborated, claiming there have been “so many rumors” and “so many DMs over the years.” She then revealed a specific incident from during her marriage to Cooke.
“After we were married, there was a time you were at a party asking a girl if you could kiss her and make out with her,” Batula said during Tuesday’s reunion episode. “She DM’d me on a personal level. That was my issue with you going out and putting yourself in these positions.”
Cooke, however, denied that he made out with the woman and placed blame for his actions on his “very unhappy marriage.”
As the cast weighed in, Cooke also confirmed that he made out with Salley Carson of Bravo’s show Southern Charm earlier this year, but after he and Batula announced their split.
Cooke and Batula remain legally married.
Batula has begun dating their Summer House castmate — and the ex of her former best friend Ciara Miller — West Wilson. The romance was confirmed in March after weeks of speculation.
The fallout from the shocking love triangle, which has fractured the tight-knit group of friends around whom Summer House is filmed, continues to play out on the show’s reunion. Season 10 is slated to conclude June 9 with a final installment.

At the end of Tuesday’s reunion episode, Miller, 30, was seen video chatting with Wilson’s ex-girlfriend, Meija Moreno, who claimed to be exclusively dating Wilson while Summer House filmed in 2025.
“We were literally dating last summer. While you guys were filming, he referred to me as his girlfriend all the time, we just weren’t in a public relationship,” Moreno told Miller and Cooke. The two Summer House stars then told Moreno that they plan to confront Wilson with that information — which will seemingly air during the third reunion installment.
