The Summer House is burning — and this time, it’s Amanda Batula striking the match.

In a shocking twist that’s left both fans and friends reeling, Amanda has officially walked away from Kyle Cooke’s beloved
Loverboy brand, publicly citing her husband’s “controlling, selfish, and irresponsible” behavior as the breaking point. But her decision to quit doesn’t just hit Kyle’s business — it also sends a devastating message about their marriage.
“No Loverboy, no baby,” Amanda declared through tears during a private conversation with close friends, according to insiders. “If this is how he runs his business and his life, how can I trust him to run a family with me?”
The announcement is the culmination of months of simmering tension between the longtime couple, whose fights over Kyle’s drinking, erratic spending, and reckless work habits have been staples on Summer House
for years. While Amanda once tried to hold the brand together as the quiet force behind the scenes, sources say she’s grown tired of being treated like Kyle’s “employee first, wife second.”
“She has poured her heart into Loverboy, sacrificing her own ambitions to support Kyle,” one insider revealed. “But instead of valuing her, he shuts her down, dismisses her concerns, and makes decisions without her. She’s done being his doormat.”
The final straw reportedly came after a heated argument over finances and Kyle’s refusal to cut back on what Amanda called his “all-or-nothing, frat-boy way of running a business.” “She’s begged him to grow up and take responsibility,” the insider added. “But instead, he doubled down, telling her that if she couldn’t handle his leadership, she should just leave. So she did — both the company and possibly the marriage.”
The fallout isn’t just professional. Amanda has made it painfully clear that Kyle’s behavior has shattered her trust in him as a partner, especially when it comes to starting a family. “I can’t bring a child into this chaos,” Amanda reportedly confided. “If he can’t be accountable for a company, how can he be accountable for a baby?”
Friends close to Amanda insist this isn’t an empty threat — it’s a full-on reckoning. “Amanda’s not bluffing this time,” another source said. “She’s heartbroken, but she’s also empowered. She refuses to have a child just to patch up a broken marriage. If Kyle doesn’t change, she’s prepared to move forward without him — with or without Loverboy.”
As Amanda steps away, fans are left wondering if her bold exit will finally push Kyle to confront his demons, or if this marks the beginning of the end for one of
Summer House’s most iconic — and turbulent — couples.
