Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula have officially gone their separate ways, marking the end of a relationship that viewers have followed closely for nearly a decade on Bravo’s Cottage.
The couple confirmed the news in a joint statement shared on Instagram, revealing that the decision was mutual and made with care.
“After much consideration, we have mutually and amicably decided to separate as a couple,” the couple wrote.
Acknowledging the emotional weight of the moment, they added: “We share this with a heavy heart and kindly ask for your grace and support as we focus on our personal growth and healing.”
They also addressed their very public history, saying, “It feels ironic to ask for privacy at this time as we have 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.”
Cooke, 43, and Batula, 34, first started dating in 2016 during the debut season of Cottage and tied the knot in September 2021 at her family’s home in New Jersey.
Over the years, fans have watched the couple navigate serious challenges, including Cooke’s admission of cheating shortly before they got engaged in 2018.
Despite ongoing rumors and tensions, the two often presented a united front.
Speculation about their marriage intensified in late 2025 when a source claimed the couple were living separately while dealing with a “challenging time”.
At the time, the insider insisted they were still committed to making things work.
Their fights later became a central storyline in the season 10 trailer, with Batula accusing Cooke of staying out into the early hours of the morning.
Career and lifestyle differences also played a role.
Cooke’s burgeoning DJ career and late nights caused friction, as Batula admitted in a teaser: “I wanted him to stop going out and party, and he found a career where he’s going out late and partying.”
The two also had conflicts about where they should live and when they should start a family.
Their journey, filled with ups and downs, will continue to unfold when Cottage will return next month, giving viewers one last look at how their marriage unraveled before they ultimately chose to split.
