Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula faced rumors claiming they were living separately earlier this week, but what is the truth?
As the Summer House couple headed to BravoCon together on Wednesday, a second report hit the web, alleging that while Kyle, 43, and Amanda, 34, are, in fact, in the midst of a “challenging time” in their four-year marriage, they are “committed” to making it work.
“They are going through a challenging time,” an insider revealed to Us Weekly on November 12. “[But they are] both committed to making the relationship work.”
In addition to stating that they were not living separately, the outlet noted that Kyle and Amanda attended an Amazon Home for the Holidays event in New York City earlier this month.
And just as the report was shared, Kyle posted a clip of them headed to BravoCon in Las Vegas on his Instagram Story.
Kyle and Amanda began dating during season one, got engaged in season three, and got married during season six of
Last February, during an interview with Us Weekly, Kyle admitted that his Loverboy business was “insanely stressful” and getting in the way of his and Amanda’s next steps.
“It’s a lot,” he shared. “I feel like dogs inadvertently kind of slowed down our baby making. … So we’re just taking it one day at a time.”
Amanda also spoke to the outlet about their careers, explaining that she had taken a “slight step back” from Loverboy “for the sake of [her and Kyle’s] relationship.”
“I think we needed a little bit of that separation for now. … This seems to be working for us right now,” she revealed two months later.
In recent months, Kyle honored Amanda on their four-year wedding anniversary.
“Greetings from our 4 year wedding anniversary,” he wrote on Instagram on September 25. “Now on to the main course.”
One month prior, Amanda, who did not post anything to her feed about their latest anniversary, gave Kyle a shoutout on his birthday.
“Everybody go wish Mr. Batula a happy birthday #43,” she captioned an August 4 post.
No word yet on a premiere date for Summer House season 10.
Jeana Keough accused Shannon Beador of being “mean” to her for “no reason,” and she shared what triggered their feud. The Real Housewives of Orange County alum also gave an update on her sons Shane Keough and Colton Keough, who were featured often in early seasons.
Four seasons after Jeana left the show, Shannon ‘stormed’ in. For 10 years, Shannon has been open about her life, including her ex-husband David Beador’s past affair. Throughout their marriage, Shannon was also honest about their marriage struggles.
“You know who’s mean to me for no reason is Shannon Beador,” said Jeana on Vicki Gunvalson‘s podcast, My Friend, My Soulmate, My Podcast. “There’s no reason to be mean to me.”
Jeana then hinted at what triggered their feud.
“All I said was that [it] was really stupid of [Shannon] — I told one of the girls. It wasn’t even on camera — [that] it [was] really stupid for you to tell everybody [on camera that] you hadn’t had sex with your husband for a year. Because he’s good-looking and rich, there’s girls that are gonna go after that dude.”
“And I was right. They went after him,” she continued. “She should have gone on the next episode [and said], ‘I screwed his brains out every morning, night, and evening now.’”
Vicki’s cohost, Christian Gray Snow, added, “She should’ve rolled in in a wheelchair to that confessional.”
At one point in the episode, Jeana gave an update on her kids.
“Colton’s working in Camarillo, [California] for fire insurance,” said Jeana. “And Shane’s in Florida. His daughter‘s in Florida, so. [Colton] was there for nine months, but he came back … He just missed all his friends.”
“But Camarillo’s not close to Orange County,” said Vicki.
“No,” said Jeana. “But it’s a big job, and he couldn’t say no.”
Back in 2021, Shane shared some details about his career.
“I live in Jacksonville, Florida. I’m in real estate,” said Shane on WWHL After Show, via Bravo TV. “I have an environmental sustainability agency, so we focus on how to make the world a better place.”
“Colton’s doing real estate,” he added. “He works with my mom down in Irvine, so family business, I guess.”
