Amanda Batula<\/strong><\/a> dropped a financial bombshell about her and estranged husband Kyle Cooke<\/strong><\/a> during the In the City<\/em><\/a> premiere – surprising fans and her castmates.<\/p>\n

During the Tuesday, May 19, episode of the Summer House<\/em><\/a> spinoff, Amanda, 34, confided in Lindsay Hubbard<\/strong><\/a> about her and Kyle’s money drama as the pair continued to work through their marriage issues.<\/p>\n

“He has a spreadsheet of all this money that I owed him,” Amanda claimed. “So now it’s paying him in all these lump sums.”<\/p>\n

As Amanda vented to Lindsay, 39, a price tag popped up in the corner of the screen, claiming that Amanda owed Kyle $117,000 in “back rent.”<\/p>\n

“I already paid it. No sweat off my back,” Amanda nonchalantly told Lindsay as the pair shopped together. “We’re good.”<\/p>\n

Lindsay pointed out that if Amanda paid it “last week” then she understood where her “resentment is coming from,” hinting that Amanda and Kyle’s problems were only escalating.<\/p>\n

Amanda smiled at the time, seemingly making light of the situation.<\/p>\n

The events of the In the City<\/em> premiere transpired in September 2025 just a few weeks after Summer House<\/em> wrapped filming<\/a>. At the time, Amanda and Kyle were back to living under the same roof and going to couples therapy.<\/p>\n

Amanda and Kyle celebrated their fourth wedding anniversary during the In the City<\/em> premiere – but before they finished their drinks at the bar, Amanda dropped another bombshell.<\/p>\n

“I’m going to move out. I know it’s our anniversary. I’m not bringing it up, like, \u2018I’m out, I’m leaving.’ This is like a month,” Amanda told Kyle. “This is not to end the relationship. I want to date again. I want to get together and spend time like this. I’m not doing this to run away. I’m doing this because I want it to work out.”<\/p>\n

Kyle said he was “trying to be open minded,” but later told the cameras, “It feels extreme. I’m not sold on this being the solution.”<\/p>\n

Four months after they shot that scene, Amanda and Kyle announced in January<\/a> that they were getting divorce. Amanda has since started dating Summer House<\/em> costar West Wilson<\/strong>, who previously dated Ciara Miller<\/strong>, which has caused a big rift among the cast<\/a>.<\/p>\n
