Amanda Batula is scoping out the scene.
Batula, 34, joked about going to the “boy aquarium” a.k.a. the New York Rangers vs. New York Islanders game on Thursday, January 29. The Summer House star took to Instagram and snapped a pic of the game. She captioned the post, “Boy aquarium,” referring to a viral TikTok meme where girls go to NHL games to look at the players.
Batula’s playful post comes after she and Kyle Cooke announced their split earlier this month.
“After much reflection, we have mutually and amicably decided to part ways as a couple,” the former couple wrote in a joint statement on January 19. “We share this with a heavy heart and kindly ask for your grace and support while we focus on our personal growth and healing.”
Batula and Cooke, 43, added, “It feels ironic to ask for privacy during this time since we’ve always tried to be open and honest about our relationship, but your kindness and respect will go a long way as we try to navigate our next chapter.”
Since then, the duo has broken their silence on where they stand now.
“We’re good,” Batula told Kiki Monique during an episode of SiriusXM’s Front Row series earlier this month. “And that’s it.”
Batula added, “It’s … easier to get along. But we’re good. We talk all the time. We’re both traveling. So I’m watching the dogs. He’s watching the dogs. We’re co-parenting the dogs together. Still call him if I have questions.” Cooke, for his part, agreed that they’re on good terms. He shared that it feels like “a weight [was] lifted” in their relationship after splitting.”
“Every step we’ve taken, there’s a little bit of, like, a weight has been lifted,” he shared. “And ironically, I feel like this last week, having kind of pressed post together, it felt like we were a little more lighthearted.”
“I mean, look, more than anything, I want her to be happy. I want us both to be happy,” he continued.
Cooke previously opened up about their breakup earlier this month during an episode of the “Hollywood Raw” podcast. “I think people will be surprised but also happy to see that Amanda and I are in a good spot,” he said. “Obviously, the internet’s gonna do its thing, but you know, we literally pushed send [on our statement] together.”
Batula and Cooke met in 2015. In 2017, Cooke was one of the original cast members on season 1 of Bravo’s Summer House. Batula joined the show for season 2. Through the years, they’ve been candid about their rocky relationship both on and off camera. In 2018, Cooke cheated on Batula while intoxicated but they worked through it. Later that year, he got on one knee and popped the question during an episode of Summer House. After the COVID-19 delaying their nuptials, the couple tied the knot in 2021 at Batula’s parents’ house in New Jersey. Summer House alum Paige DeSorbo served as Batula’s bridesmaid, while Carl Radke officiated their wedding. Together, they share two dogs, Reese and Ryder, whom they adopted in 2022.
