Andy Cohen Reacts to Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula’s Split: “Marriage Should Be Fun”

New York, NY – January 21, 2026 – Bravo’s Andy Cohen addressed the separation of Summer House stars Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula during the January 20 episode of Watch What Happens Live.

The couple announced their amicable split on January 19, 2026, after four years of marriage. In a joint Instagram statement, they wrote: “After much reflection, we have mutually and amicably decided to part ways… We kindly ask for your grace and support while we focus on personal growth and healing.”

Cohen responded with empathy and a playful callback to Cooke’s memorable line from the show. “I am sure that was a difficult decision,” he said. “But we are proud of you two for choosing what is best for you, because, to paraphrase a certain someone, marriage should be fun.”

The quip referenced Cooke’s earlier declaration amid relationship tensions, earning laughs and quick recognition from fans online.

The pair, who met on Summer House, wed in September 2021. Their romance unfolded publicly through dating, engagement, and married life in the Hamptons house, marked by occasional conflicts over priorities and communication.

Cohen’s lighthearted yet supportive tone fits Bravo’s style of handling cast milestones on WWHL. The upcoming season may reference the split, though details are limited.

Both continue their careers—Cooke with Loverboy and Batula in fashion and content—while fans show support for their respectful handling of the breakup.
