Amanda Batula is making headlines after being spotted sharing a friendly moment with ex-husband Kyle Cooke, just days after confirming her new relationship with West Wilson.

According to People, the Summer House star was seen on April 3 in New York City embracing Cooke while the two walked their dogs together. The former couple, who announced their split in January after four years of marriage, appeared cordial despite their recent breakup.

The sighting comes shortly after Batula and Wilson publicly confirmed their romance on March 31, describing it as “very new.” In a joint statement, the pair explained, “It was never our intention to purposely hide anything,” adding that they wanted time to process their feelings privately given the “complicated relationship dynamics.”

Their relationship has sparked significant buzz, particularly because Wilson previously dated Batula’s close friend and co-star Ciara Miller. Reports suggest the revelation left several cast members feeling “hurt” and “betrayed,” as the romance had been kept under wraps.

Cooke has also publicly voiced concerns about Wilson, claiming he may not have genuine intentions. He previously said Wilson is “capable of manipulating” women, adding another layer of tension to the situation.

Despite the ongoing drama, Batula’s recent outing with Cooke suggests the exes are maintaining a level of mutual respect, even as their personal lives continue to evolve in the public eye.

The unfolding relationships have quickly become one of the most talked-about storylines surrounding Summer House, with fans expecting more details, and possible confrontations, to surface at the upcoming reunion.
